This week Tayla is joined by Christopher Woodrow-Butcher and Deb Aoki from the podcast Mangasplaining. They talk about their show Mangasplaining, a show about reading manga for the non-manga fan. They also discuss manga and comics getting them interested in things they would never be interested in on their own, webtoons, and how different generations view comics. During The Last Chapter they discuss: What anime/manga superpower would you like to have?
