Author: Manga Mac Crew August 16, 2020 Duration: 1:33:25

Our penultimate episode on Kasane has brought us on a story trajectory we're not happy about! We desperately try to predict where Daruma Matsuura is trying to lead us with the upcoming ending to these literal dramatics! We also talk about I Don't Know How to Give Birth!Meshi ni Shimashou, the cancellation of Act-Age, and more!!!

Every Monday, the Manga Machinations podcast gathers for a conversation that feels like pulling up a chair with friends who are deeply passionate about comics from Japan. Hosted by dakazu, darfox8, Seamus2389, and Morgana Santilli, the discussions are less about the biggest mainstream hits and more about the hidden gems and foundational works that often fly under the radar. You’ll hear them introduce a wealth of unknown manga you’ve likely never encountered, alongside thoughtful, in-depth retrospective reviews of significant titles. These deep dives have covered works like the poignant comedy of 'Tokyo Tarareba Girls', the cyberpunk dystopia of 'BLAME!', and the legendary, epic scope of Tezuka Osamu's 'Phoenix'. The charm of this podcast lies in the hosts' genuine enthusiasm and varied perspectives, which can make a niche title sound like your next must-read. It’s a weekly exploration for anyone looking to move beyond the surface of manga, offering both discovery and a deeper appreciation for the art form’s vast landscape.
