Welcome to My Taste is Better Than Yours, the manga podcast with Samu and Guardian Enzo! Who are we? Two anime bloggers (Samu former, Enzo current - at https://lostinanime.com) who love manga. We'll discuss some of our favourite manga series and let you decide which one of us has the better taste. Throughout this podcast we’ll be covering series we've both already read or follow, as well as series one of us recommends to the other to compare our opinions. From time-to-time we’ll also cover some general manga-related topics and discussions.
