The Whole of Humanity Has Gone Yuri Except for Me / The Apothecary Diaries

Author: Taiiku Podcast October 2, 2021 Duration: 30:17
There are three days left in the regular season barring any tiebreaker scenarios, and I am HOPING for tiebreaker scenarios. The Blue Jays must win their last three games, the Red Sox and Mariners need to win two of three, and the Yankees need to lose the rest of their games. Let's go baseball chaos. This episode, we're talking about Hiroki Haruse's The Whole of Humanity Has Gone Yuri Except for Me published by Yen Press. Then we talk about Natsu Hyūga's The Apothecary Diaries published by Square Enix. The Apothecary Diaries was also illustrated by Nekokurage, compiled by Itsuki Nanao, and with character designs from Touco Shino. The song you heard in this episode was "Glider" by Japanese Breakfast. As always, you can find me on Twitter @ImpassionateK, and my co-hosts Helen (@WanderinDreamr) and Apryll (@manjiorin) on Twitter at those places in the parenthesis. You can find both of their writing at The Organization of Anti-Social Geniuses, more of Helen's writing at Narrative Investigations, and my writing at the Fandom Post. Read Helen's reviews of The Apothecary Diaries manga here: Volume 1, Volume 2. And of the light novels here: Volume 1, Volume 2. And of The Whole of Humanity Has Gone Yuri Except for Me. Listen Show notes: 0:40 - We talk about The Whole of Humanity Has Gone Yuri Except for Me! 11:47 - We talk about The Apothecary Diaries! Next time is some of our favorite canceled series!

Every three weeks, the hosts of Manga in Your Ears-Kory, Helen, and Apryll-settle in for a conversation that bridges the classic and the contemporary. Their format is straightforward but deeply engaging: they dive into one manga series that has already reached its conclusion, offering a full perspective on its story and impact. Then, they shift to discuss a different series that is either freshly finished or still unfolding in real time, capturing the immediate excitement of ongoing publication. This dual focus creates a unique rhythm, allowing for thoughtful retrospectives alongside the lively speculation that comes with following current releases. The discussions feel less like formal reviews and more like the kind of talk you’d have with friends who share a deep passion for the medium, dissecting character arcs, artistic choices, and narrative twists. Produced by Taiiku Podcast, this series sits comfortably at the intersection of Arts and Books, designed for anyone who appreciates the depth and diversity of manga storytelling. Tuning into this podcast is like getting a curated, bi-monthly guide to what’s worth reading, from timeless titles you might have missed to the latest chapters everyone is talking about.
