If in doubt, shounen will never let you down, right? So was it a bloodbath when we read the classic blood power series Tougen Anki: Legend of the Cursed Blood? After all, if you're drawing inspirations from every big name shounen manga past and present, you've got to be able to channel something interesting... right? ~ Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Read Trash Manga With My Friends And Actually Most Of Them Were Trash But Some Of Them Weren't! Or The Trash Manga Friends Podcast, for short. New episodes drop every fortnight, where our trio of Sean, Mike and Phil read the first two volumes (or equivalent) of a manga, webtoon, manhua or manhwa, analysing every little thing to discuss what's good, what's bad, but mostly, what's trash. Five years in, we're just getting started, as trash never ends, and neither do we. So please, come join us and listen to our book club slash never-ending existential nightmare! ~ Follow us on social media!
