Here’s another great manga podcast I ran across a few weeks ago called Mangasplaining. Tbe basic premise is it’s a podcast that recommends manga to people who haven’t read a lot of manga before. As I only really started reading manga a few years ago, I feel like I still sort of fit that target audience.
Check out this episode exploring Taiyo Matsumoto’s ‘TekkonKinkreet.’ I’ve said it before, but Matsumoto opened the door to manga for me. His storytelling, subject matter, and art work are in a league of their own.
Mangasplaining has a really good team. Great chemistry. Every member of the podcast brings a unique voice to their reading experience and each discussion feels genuine. The presentation and points of view are casual but professional, as they all work in the comic industry in some sense. It feels like a group of real friends doing a deep dive on a subject they know a lot about and love. That’s hard to beat.
