Manga Pulse 461: Ugly Black

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Warning, awkward audio dips as we kept looking away from the mics. We made some adjustments to the output but it’s still going to be off a bit. Let’s say, hypothetically, you wanted to listen to a show. Also hypothetically, you had access to two of the most hinged people on the internet? Yes, I said hinged. These men, titans among capybaras, are the polar opposite of unhinged. They might even be standing right next to based. Also they have a pair of manga with reviews of each for you to enjoy.

Manga Pulse 460: Dog Baby

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

There are twin cities out there. You have to be careful though because there are fraternal and paternal. Fraternal twin cities share a geography only. Paternal twin cities are ones that were originally founded by the same person but divided because of prohibition or some similar legal disagreement. Which is why New York and Los Angeles are so far apart. New York decided that living in a hole with rats was a perfectly fine core personality trait. Meanwhile LA disagreed and believed that being unable to drive was more important. So they broke apart and drifted off to the west coast. This leads us to a twin manga review.
