Escape From the Tainted World, A Princess Story - Episode 50 - Blade of the Moon Princess volume 1

Booktastic Bookathon of Bookinstein McBooksalot - Episode 54

So, we had a bit of time between recordings (so unlikely due to our incredibly consistent podcast release schedule, I know), and we happen to have read so much -- and had enough random internet issues during the episode -- that we have nothing but a big book talkabout today! From Witch Hat Atelier (manga and anime) to the end of 365 Day to our Wedding, whether the conclusion of The Creepy and the Freaky to the beginning two thirds of Drops of God: Marriage, or whether it's the entirety of Interviews with Monster Girls or the feature film Everything Everywhere All at Once, we have a great deal of things to share and talk about and remind you are cool and you should check out. So much we didn't finish this week . . .    Follow us on Bluesky at The Mudai Manga and Book Club Podcast [https://bsky.app/profile/mudaimangabookclub.bsky.social]   Video Episodes Available on Youtube at Mudai Manga and Book Club [https://youtube.com/@mudaimangabookclub?si=qtB0OAcF0VANu3V5]   Email us at: MudaiMangaBookClub at Gmail.com   Main Theme: Sunrise by Meizong & Yeeflex Music provided by Argofox: Meizong & Yeeflex - Sunrise youtu.be/-GurRvqxg3I [https://youtu.be/-GurRvqxg3I] Additional Music: Phat Phrog Studio - Echo Nexus Phat Phrog Studio -  Cyber Chill

Pedal to the Anime - Episode 53 - Yowamushi Pedal Vol. 1

Let's get pedaling! . . . Yeah, I don't have any good bicycle puns, but this episode we do take a look at the long running bicycle racing series Yowamushi Pedal, specifically the first volume in English (which covers two standard volumes, so vol 1 and 2 for those with access to Japanese sized volumes). Meanwhile, we have a sizeable What we've Read as well, with Louie watching most of DoroHeDoro's anime and more of Battle Angel Alita, while Tom reads the entire rest of Aposimz and gets distracted by psychic police officers with Super Psychic Policeman Chojo. All that and more with this week's episode!   Follow us on Bluesky at The Mudai Manga and Book Club Podcast [https://bsky.app/profile/mudaimangabookclub.bsky.social]   Video Episodes Available on Youtube at Mudai Manga and Book Club [https://youtube.com/@mudaimangabookclub?si=qtB0OAcF0VANu3V5]   Email us at: MudaiMangaBookClub at Gmail.com   Main Theme: Sunrise by Meizong & Yeeflex Music provided by Argofox: Meizong & Yeeflex - Sunrise youtu.be/-GurRvqxg3I [https://youtu.be/-GurRvqxg3I] Additional Music: Ovani Sound - Benji Ovani Sound - Business Ovani Sound - Water  Phat Phrog Studio - Echo Nexus

Behold, The Power of a True Herb Gatherer - Episode 52 - Banished From the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside book 1

We return this week with another reasonably named series, as Tom takes us through the first novel of Banished from the Hero's Party, a fairly generic seeming fantasy slow-life adventure at first that, as Tom really, really, reaaaaaally wants you to know, plays a lot with the idea of what would actually happen if people had these classes and skills and things. Meanwhile, Louie continues catching the new big anime, as well as the end of Black Clover and How to Treat a Lady Knight Right, while Tom starts into Knights of Sidonia and is thoroughly whelmed with it all. All that and more this week on the podcast.

A Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Boar, and Cat Walk into a School - Episode 51 - Fruits Basket vol 1

With another reasonable title (this time for the episode), we return with one of the classics of modern shojo, Fruits Basket, today with the omnibus version of volume one, which is likely classical books one and two for those who may have them. The journey of Tohru to accidentally hug an entire family of cursed individuals with cheerfulness and hope begins with . . . well, a landslide, actually. Meanwhile, Louie continues the anime watching and also finishes the excellent Don't Toy With Me Miss Nagatoro, while Tom chugs along with several volumes of some of his favorite series and, most important of all, completes Drops of God. (To be safe I marked the episode as explicit for language).

Escape From the Tainted World, A Princess Story - Episode 50 - Blade of the Moon Princess volume 1

In the world of rewriting fairy tales into action packed retellings with super soldiers and magical explosions, may we present the absolute over the top world of Blade of the Moon Princess on this week's episode? There is the planet used to house criminals, an historically styled Japanese court overthrown by a terrorist attack using VTOLs and explosives, and a cybernetically upgraded bamboo cutter who was a former lead bodyguard. Meanwhile, in what we've read, we have a lighter week, Louie taking us through some more of this spring's anime, while Tom talks over the recently released Alya novel 9.   Follow us on Bluesky at The Mudai Manga and Book Club Podcast [https://bsky.app/profile/mudaimangabookclub.bsky.social]   Video Episodes Available on Youtube at Mudai Manga and Book Club [https://youtube.com/@mudaimangabookclub?si=qtB0OAcF0VANu3V5]   Email us at: MudaiMangaBookClub at Gmail.com   Main Theme: Sunrise by Meizong & Yeeflex Music provided by Argofox: Meizong & Yeeflex - Sunrise youtu.be/-GurRvqxg3I [https://youtu.be/-GurRvqxg3I] Additional Music: Phat Phrog Studio - Echo Nexus Phat Phrog Studio -  Cyber Chill Phat Phrog Studio - Experiment
