Multiversity Manga Club

It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of February in Shonen Jump! This week we discuss the newest series "Jiangshi X," before discussing the end of two series that have been around for a bit, "High School Family: Kokosei Kazoku" and "PPPPPP." Finally we wrap things up with a bit of a news update concerning the translation of "Cipher Academy." Join us in two...

It’s the middle of the month, so it's time for “One Piece Club,” our ongoing catch-up of “One Piece!" In this month's episode we cover chapters 1008-1032, the third of four episodes covering Wano's third act. There are lots of battles in this month's selection, and most of them are good! In this episode we speculate a bit about Zolo's past, discuss Sanji's overall character arc, and learn about some very interesting and de...

It’s the middle of the month, so it's time for “One Piece Club,” our ongoing catch-up of “One Piece!" In this month's episode we cover chapters 982-1007, the second of four episodes covering Wano's third act. As usual, Walt at first opines that there isn't a ton going on here but is soon proven wrong, with the battle between the Akazaya Nine and Kaido (they should have won!), the introduction of Yamato, and the return of.....

It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of December in Shonen Jump! Well, technically we only talk about December specifically when discussing the last new series of the year, "Fabricant 100." After that, in true end-of-the-year fashion, we discuss our favorite Shonen Jump series of 2022, "Akane-Banashi." Finally we round things off with a final look at the u...

It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of November in Shonen Jump! It's a month of new series, so we discuss the first few chapters of "The Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins," "Cipher Academy," and "Ichigoki's Under Control!!" We also briefly touch on the latest developments in "Chainsaw Man." Join us in two weeks as One Piece Club, our ongoing reread of "One Pi...

It’s the middle of the month, so it's time for “One Piece Club,” our ongoing catch-up of “One Piece!" In this month's episode we cover chapters 956-981, the first of <b>four</b> episodes covering Wano's third act. Is Wano perhaps too long? Well, maybe, but it's all good stuff right now. We cover more Reverie fallout, the dissolution of the Warlords of the Sea, and the traitor's reveal, but the majority of this ...

It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of October in Shonen Jump! Two series, "Super Smartphone" and "Aliens Area," came to abrupt conclusions this month, and we spend a bit of time discussing the two short-lived series. Next we discuss "The Elusive Samurai" for the first time in quite a while, and how it's quite different from pretty much anything else Shon...

It’s the middle of the month, so it's time for “One Piece Club,” our ongoing catch-up of “One Piece!" In this month's episode we cover chapters 925-955, covering the second act of Wano. For only thirty chapters there's a <i>lot</i> going on here, so expect quite a bit of jumping around. Also: good news for those of you who, like Zach, who love Zoro's sword bullshit, there's more of that in here. We'll be back i...

It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of September in Shonen Jump! This month we talk about one new series, "Ginka & Glüna," and... briefly mention the other, "Tokyo Demon Bride Story." I mean, come on, with a name like that longtime listeners should know we probably aren't interested. We then stretch back a little bit into August to discuss the recent ...

It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of August in Shonen Jump! Due to our Very Special Episode last month, we're primarily discussing two series that started in June, "Aliens Area" and "Ruri Dragon." One is very good, the other... not so much. We also talk about the final chapter of the (apparent) miniseries "Shokugeki no Sanji." Join us in two weeks as On...

It’s the middle of the month, so it's time for “One Piece Club,” our ongoing catch-up of “One Piece!" That's right, the big 100 and all you get is our One Piece recapping, but that's what you're here for, isn't it? In this month's episode we cover chapters 901-924, covering the Reverie mini-arc and the first act of Wano. Wow, a mini arc and a whole act in one episode -- surely Wano isn't that long. Ah, my sweet summer chil...

It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of July in Shonen Jump! Due to our Very Special Episode last month, we're primarily discussing two series that started in June, "Aliens Area" and "Ruri Dragon." One is very good, the other... not so much. We also talk about the final chapter of the (apparent) miniseries "Shokugeki no Sanji." Join us in two weeks as One ...

It’s the middle of the month, so it's time for “One Piece Club,” our ongoing catch-up of “One Piece!" In this month's episode we cover chapters 866-900, wrapping up the Whole Cake Island/Big Mom arc (well, basically -- there's technically two more chapters, but whatever). Much like last month we each find that we appreciate Whole Cake a lot more on reread than on release, and Emily decides that Katakuri isn't the worst lik...

It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of June in Shonen Jump! This month we have a special guest: our co-host Zach is stopping by for the month in review episode! That's in part because this is essentially a bonus episode of the One Piece Club -- with Wano finally over, a month's hiatus, and the impending final stretch we are looking both back at the finale...

It’s the middle of the month, so it's time for “One Piece Club,” our ongoing catch-up of “One Piece!" In this month's episode we cover chapters 831-865, covering a substantial slice of the Whole Cake Island/Big Mom arc. After talking a bit about the impending end of "One Piece," we reevaluate the arc and Big Mom herself. We also spend a substantial amount of time speculating about something that turned out to have already ...

It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of April in Shonen Jump! This month we talk about one new series with a more-promising-than-expected start, Hiroki Tomisawa and Kentaro Hidano's "Super Smartphone," and the less-than-stellar end of Yuji Kaku's "Ayashimon." We also briefly discuss the news that "Me &amp; Roboco" is getting an anime adaptation. Join u...

It’s the middle of the month, so it's time for “One Piece Club,” our ongoing catch-up of “One Piece!" In this month's episode we cover chapters 802-830, covering the entirety of the Zou arc before moving into the early chapters of the Whole Cake Island/Big Mom arc. A few important reveals in this one, including the secret Sanji's less-than-savory family (because he's a cook, get it?). We'll be back in a month or so to cove...

It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of April in Shonen Jump! This month we primarily talk about the latest one-shot from Tatsuki Fujimoto, "Goodbye, Eri." Unsurprisingly, it's excellent. After that we check in on the unofficial rankings of the series in the magazine and Walt briefly talks about the upcoming hiatus for "Black Clover" before it enters its f...

It’s the middle of the month, so it's time for “One Piece Club,” our ongoing catch-up of “One Piece!" In this month's episode we cover chapters 768-801, finally wrapping up the epic Dressrosa arc. We backtrack a little bit to talk about the true highlight of Dressrosa: the Franky/Señor Pink fight. Some other stuff happens, too, but that's really the highlight of Dressrosa, and maybe of One Piece as a whole. We'll be back i...
