Trash Manga Friends

One of the all-time best mangaka is our focus this time, as we read Sand Land by Akira Toriyama, to celebrate the game coming out tomorrow, and the legacy left behind by one of the greatest to ever do it. Was this short shounen a fitting way to remember him, or a barren desert wasteland amongst his other iconic creations? ~ Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Read Trash Man

We’re going down, down, deeper and down, into the underground to cover 90s shounen manga Tokyo Underground and another piece of Mike’s childhood? Was this oldie with wind, gravity and healing powers being flung around a forgotten classic, or just plain forgettable? ~ Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Read Trash Manga With My Friends And Actually Most Of Them Were Tras

Another April Fools special is upon us, and on Mike’s repeated, insistent request, we’re looking towards live action adaptations, as we review the infamous Death Note adaptation. No, not the Japanese films. Or the Korean TV series. No no, we’re watching Netflix’s adaptation. And with Willem Dafoe in the mix, this has to be the best one of all! Right? ~ Welcome to That Time

The spring anime season is here, with sequels galore. But why would we cover any of that drek, when we could talk about something much more... fabled. The Fable, in fact. A little action, a little comedy, a little drama, a whole lotta slice of life, but surely a slife about a hitman must be enough plot for our Mike? ~ Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Read Trash Manga Wit

You’ve seen isekai before, but what about one where the lead is, get this, reincarnated and is super strong! So original, right?

We’re through the looking glass now, as on this day that never was, Leap Day 2024, we tackle the weirdness of Welcome to the NHK. Conspiracies, questionably legal substances and so much more dubiousness await in this bizarre cult classic... ~ 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’

What do you get if you make a webtoon Game of Thrones? Probably something like The Flower That Was Bloomed By A Cloud, a historical romance series with political machinations aplenty. Was this enough to win us over for once? Or just remind us of how that TV show ended... ~ Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Read Trash Manga With My Friends And Actually Most Of Them Were Tr

Valentines! Romance! Drool! Come now, did you expect anything less from us? We’re discussing Mysterious Girlfriend X in our latest Love Day special, a romantic manga where one girl’s drool has the power to drive you crazy, relay emotions, mimic traits, and so much more! With such a crazy mechanic, this has to be good, right? ~ Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Read Tr

Ah yes, this is much more our speed, doing manga’s with slave in the title. For our Winter anime tie-in we’re discussing Chained Soldier, a very horny on main shounen manga that bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain other big time shounen. Were we able to look past the more problematic elements, or chugging bleach to forget this ever happened... ~ Welcome to That Time I Sta

This is it! Was the One Piece real? Or just another trash manga in disguise? We celebrate our hundredth episode by reading the Greatest Of All Time. But not just two mere volumes, no, but an entire 100 chapters!
