MAL Description:
When he was in third grade, Hayuma Minekoshi became entranced by the world of figure skating. After meeting a mysterious girl and witnessing her perform a mesmerizing triple axel at a competition, Hayuma resolved to learn the sport—even if he had to teach himself the basics. Despite the hardships, Hayuma persisted in hopes of encountering the enigmatic prodigy again. However, one year later, Hayuma discovered that the girl he admired disappeared from the limelight. Having never learned her name, he gave up hope of being able to find her again.
Now in his third year of middle school, Hayuma moves from his small northern hometown to Tokyo, where he has a chance to learn figure skating properly. In a twist of fate, that same mysterious girl reappears at the rink. As the two reunite, former prodigy Kisara Saotome reveals that she had quit competing in singles to try her luck in pair skating. Seeing potential in Hayuma despite his lack of experience, Kisara invites him to be her temporary partner. However, Hayuma must face difficult training to catch up to Kisara's skill level—let alone be ready to compete.

MAL Description:
In a world where vampires exist, Saki Fujimiya is a vampire hunter. While she attends school like a normal teenager, she targets a specific vampire in her free time. However, when Saki confronts the vampire, none of her attacks are effective, giving her enemy an opportunity to drink her blood. The vampire—using the name Miyoko Kujou—claims that she has no intent to kill Saki before declaring that she actually loves her. The encounter ends there, but Saki continues to face Miyoko at school.
Miyoko has made a habit of drinking Saki's blood, and while she may say otherwise, Saki quickly succumbs to pleasure. Despite the gratification she receives from this interaction, Saki always tries to kill Miyoko immediately afterward. Is this a sense of loyalty to her position as a vampire hunter, or is it something else entirely?
I must confess…it’s Killing Me!

MAL Description:
The two boys Gin and Jinrou form a tough team in the mountains. One day, Gin decides that the only way they can move forward is to travel to the capital and join the Shinsengumi. It soon becomes clear, though, that they are not tough enough to handle the kind of people they find in the capital. Some of them, including the current Shinsengumi members, smell like beasts to Jinrou, and they seem to have unusual abilities. After Gin's tragic death, Jinrou is determined to become stronger and join the Shinsengumi in his place!

Believing that the world lacks individuality, he wants nothing more than to be unique and remembered. The boy seemingly gets the chance to leave his name in history when he becomes the first to be diagnosed with a new incurable disease that is estimated to kill him by the age of 12. Just as he is rejoicing about his newfound individuality, he meets a cheerful, prodigious girl who has the same disease—and is nearing her 12th birthday. As the boy realizes that he won't be the first to die from the disease and therefore won't be remembered, he forms a twisted plan: kill the girl before her illness does.

MAL Description:
After eagerly waiting for the arrival of his new subordinate, policeman Haruki Anjou finds out the recruit, Kiruko Otonashi, is a tonfa-wielding ex-mercenary who doesn't believe in moderation! Whether it is chasing down a thief or doing daily patrols, Kiruko is sure to complete the task using the full force of her military training and ridiculous strength, much to Anjou's chagrin.
Even though Anjou can barely contain the new recruit, his life gets much more difficult when Kiruko's old squadmate, the behemoth Bullet Hawk, and special investigator Chiaki Uchigane come to town as well. With the four's combined talent of greatly exaggerating even the simplest of duties, the city of Nagashima can rest assured that its police force is enthusiastic, to say the least!

MAL Description:
On August 10, 2019, at 3:02:40 a.m. UTC, Earth received a simple message from space: to meet on Mars on July 7, 2035. With the possibility of discovering an intergalactic species on the horizon, scientists everywhere begin a desperate race to develop the most sophisticated technology and send humans to the Red Planet. On the same day at the exact same time, baby Maho Shirafune utters his very first word—"Mars."
Years later, in time for high school applications, the space enthusiast Maho has his sights set on the prestigious Space Academy. The institution only accepts around one percent of applicants, but enrolling in the school will allow Maho to achieve his dream of going to Mars on that determined day. Together with his childhood friend Meguru Hoshihara and classmate Wataru Amachi, Maho begins to take the two-week academy admission test.
Facing dauntless competition from some of the best astronaut prospects, Maho's chances of making it to the top are looking quite grim. Interestingly, the academy's principal, Fifi Collins, suspects that Maho may be a critical part of the July 7 mission. With his fate possibly written in the stars already, Maho braces himself to persevere through this life-changing trial.

MAL Description:
Ever since rescuing her from nearly being hit by a car when they were kids, Tetsu Harisugawa has been on friendly terms with the beautiful Mao Satomi. Harisugawa has feelings for Satomi but does not want to confess to her due to the fear of losing their current friendship.
However, everything starts to change when one afternoon, Satomi passes by a thrift store and ends up buying a strange mirror. She stumbles upon Harisugawa afterward, only to find herself face-to-face with an oncoming car once again. Harisugawa, like in the past, swoops in to save her. But this time, he ends up trapped inside a dark, endless realm within the mirror Satomi bought.
In this sudden twist of fate, Harisugawa and Satomi work together to uncover ways to undo the mirror's curse. Little do they know, their friendly relationship will be subjected to misunderstandings that might hinder Harisugawa's chances at freedom—especially since Harisugawa himself is unaware of how Satomi truly feels about him.

Despite having never played the sport, short-statured Sakura Shishigaya is dedicated to rugby in every way. After watching the late professional Onotora "The Beast" Itsuki play on the field, Sakura has been inspired to take up the game. However, as the sole member of his middle school's rugby team, he is unable to practice nor experience the sport with other players.
Yet when he encounters Onotora's son Yukito, Sakura seizes the chance to overcome his predicament. Though initially dismissive of Sakura's ability, a quick sparring match manages to impress Yukito. In return, Yukito reveals that he will be attending Hyakkengawa, enticing Sakura to follow suit in hopes of joining the same team. But, when Sakura enrolls into the high school, Yukito is nowhere to be found.
Nevertheless, Sakura believes that Yukito led him to the school for a reason. At Hyakkengawa, the rugby team has been mentored by the one and only Onotora, and, in Sakura, they have met the newest member of their family.

MAL Description:
In a world where rare metals drive the economy, "Minea", the people who seek out these metals at the risk of their own life, are highly respected. A strange boy called Ruka has wandered destructively into the failing town of Elza, declaring that his goal is to be a Minea! He ends up under the surveillance of a village girl, Shella, whose little brother is sick from a poison gas accident in the town's now-closed mine. But there may be more to this situation than meets the eye! Will Ruka be able to help his new friends, and maybe one day become a legendary Minea?

MAL Description:
Enrolled in a certain elementary school is an unpleasant 11-year-old boy with a highly cynical outlook on society. Believing that the world lacks individuality, he wants nothing more than to be unique and remembered. The boy seemingly gets the chance to leave his name in history when he becomes the first to be diagnosed with a new incurable disease that is estimated to kill him by the age of 12.
Just as he is rejoicing about his newfound individuality, he meets a cheerful, prodigious girl who has the same disease—and is nearing her 12th birthday. As the boy realizes that he won't be the first to die from the disease and therefore won't be remembered, he forms a twisted plan: kill the girl before her illness does.

With no enemies left to fulfill such greed, it was inevitable that it would befall upon the common people.
However, a revolution has begun and the world will once again see change. 108 heroes gather under the Taiten-Gyoudou flag. A group of chivalrous thieves who travel the path to change the heavens. A new take on the Suikoden epic has begun.
It's time for the most prestigious awards in canceled manga - The Shonen Flop Awards aka The Floppies. We give our picks for the best (and worst) things we’ve read this year. Stay tuned to hear the winner of awards like best art, biggest ripoff, and our overall favorite episode.

MAL Description:
The psychologically destitute Kuro Fukase has been betrayed by the cruel world countless times. The only people who he could ever call family were Toiro and Iroha, the two Ayakura sisters living in an adjacent apartment, but even they would soon perish in a horrific act of arson. Now, the siblings exist as mere hallucinations in Kuro's mind as he continues to bear hatred for the world.
On one bitter Christmas Eve, Fukase's very purpose in life changes. Upon meeting the strange yet cheerful girl Sera Himeura, the dubious and alluring witch Yume Furusuna, and a strange black creature, Fukase learns that he is one of 20 "Instant Bullets": people who have been granted the power to destroy the world.
However, these living weapons do not share the same goal. Some wish to save the world, while others—including Fukase—are hell-bent on its obliteration. In a suspenseful tale of past trauma, faltering morals, and twisted romance, just what future does the world hold when the powerful Instant Bullets turn against each other?

MAL Description:
The psychologically destitute Kuro Fukase has been betrayed by the cruel world countless times. The only people who he could ever call family were Toiro and Iroha, the two Ayakura sisters living in an adjacent apartment, but even they would soon perish in a horrific act of arson. Now, the siblings exist as mere hallucinations in Kuro's mind as he continues to bear hatred for the world.
On one bitter Christmas Eve, Fukase's very purpose in life changes. Upon meeting the strange yet cheerful girl Sera Himeura, the dubious and alluring witch Yume Furusuna, and a strange black creature, Fukase learns that he is one of 20 "Instant Bullets": people who have been granted the power to destroy the world.
However, these living weapons do not share the same goal. Some wish to save the world, while others—including Fukase—are hell-bent on its obliteration. In a suspenseful tale of past trauma, faltering morals, and twisted romance, just what future does the world hold when the powerful Instant Bullets turn against each other?
We also might need a mindwipe after reading this series.

MAL Description:
After the war, which lasted 70 years motivated through greed, the Song Dynasty took control and managed to unite China as one. Having made alliances with the Northern countries, there were no enemies left that could invade. With such peace in hand, the country has made much progress, but that time has worn out. With no enemies left to fulfill such greed, it was inevitable that it would befall upon the common people.
However, a revolution has begun and the world will once again see change. 108 heroes gather under the Taiten-Gyoudou flag. A group of chivalrous thieves who travel the path to change the heavens. A new take on the Suikoden epic has begun.
With 108 warriors some of them have to be interesting right?

MAL Description:
Googugu is a mysterious new app that can search for information, but unlike other popular search engines, Googugu can search through all information that exists on Earth, including confidential government documents and even people's journal entries. With great power comes great limitations though, as Googugu can only be used on a tiny device known as a "super smartphone."
First-year high school student Kyuu "Q" Sagurada happens to be an owner of one such device by chance. Though he is academically brilliant, Q strives to barely pass all of his courses by turning every test into a game, much to the ire of his childhood friend Yuika Noumaru. His behavior stems back to an incident seven years prior, when his younger brother, Shuu, disappeared without a trace. Despite the police's best efforts, they were never able to solve the case.
Realizing that his new smartphone has the potential to crack his younger brother's cold case, he attempts to search for it, only to see that any relevant information is locked. Now, Q must utilize the super smartphone more and collect "Googugu Points" in order to access the information. But as he continues to use the device, he realizes that he may not be the only super smartphone user out there, and the others could be manipulating the world as he knows it.

MAL Description:
Welcome to the Ability Society. A futuristic world where no one has an advantage from the abilites they were born with, because you can easily download abilites. These downloadable abilites, called "Labels," will give you the skills to do just about anything. From driving a car to making pottery, the sky's the limit. But there's just one problem—they don't work for Heita Jugojo. How can a guy with no abilities survive in a world where everybody's an "expert?" Find out in this offbeat sci-fi story!
Time for the showdown at school.
What time is it? It’s the Chainsaw Minute! Every Friday David and Jordan give their thoughts on the latest chapter of the manga that needs no introduction, Chainsaw Man. Find out what’s the devil of the week and why this chapter is a 10/10.
Looking for a regular Shonen Flop episode? They’re all on the same feed and you can find our next episode on Monday.

MAL Description:
Shiki Ryuuhou is a Monster Hunter in a world full of fantastic creatures. Before his master, Gurelli Jescar, met an untimely death, he taught Shiki the most important skill of being a Monster Hunter: teamwork.
Several years later, wielding his dual blades, Shiki heads to Akayama Town's Guild to find himself a partner. He takes a liking to the unwilling Irie Jescar, a girl notorious for rejecting any attempt at camaraderie. But her attitude soon changes; when Shiki saves her from a Rathian attack, he reveals that he has the mark of a Forbidden Hunter—meaning he is free to hunt—and that he has only one goal: to fight the legendary Miogaruna.
Irie is surprised that Shiki believes in the Miogaruna, as the only other person who believed in its existence was her late father, Gurelli. Motivated by the discovery of their shared connection, Irie and Shiki team up to fulfill Gurelli's lifelong dream. Thus, the two embark on their legendary journey, gaining allies and rivals while hunting monsters in the grand quest to find the Miogaruna.

MAL Description:
Years ago, the death of the infamous Enma Syndicate's chairman, who united all those below him, led to numerous individual yakuza groups being created. These groups are filled with "ayashimon"—supernatural creatures possessing various powers—who now lurk in the shadows of modern-day Japan.
Maruo Kaidou, inspired by his favorite manga heroes, has spent the majority of his life ruthlessly training. He has become so strong that no business will hire him and no martial arts organization will accept him. But just as Maruo reaches his wit's end, he encounters a young girl named Urara, a yakuza head fleeing from an enemy group.
Though Urara tries to chase him away because of his status as a regular human being, Maruo jumps at the thought of an exciting fight. Now in the midst of a new world filled with individuals wielding powerful abilities, Maruo feels that he cannot return to his old, boring life. Thus, he decides to join Urara's yakuza group—becoming its very first member.

MAL Description:
Sumire, a nine-year-old girl with clairvoyant abilities, finds herself held captive aboard a train by Doress, a secret organization who are now whisking her away to their laboratory. Seeing her chance to escape their clutches, Sumire inadvertently releases Doress' top secret experiment: a 17-year-old boy named Ikurou Hashizawa, who has been infected with the Baoh parasite. With extraordinary powers of invulnerability and regeneration at his disposal, Ikurou aids Sumire, and the two escape together.
However, this is merely the start of their troubles. As Ikurou's development is incomplete, Doress considers him far too dangerous to roam free, and orders his immediate execution. Now on the run, the pair must survive an onslaught of hitmen while Ikurou attempts to learn more about his rapidly advancing powers.

MAL Description:
Ryuunosuke Fujita would like nothing more than a fun, carefree life with his friends. But life doesn't always go how you want it. When the third-grader arrives home one day, his father introduces him to Koharu Mori, a young wheelchair-bound girl with prosthetic limbs who from now on will be Ryuunosuke's younger sister. For Ryuunosuke, this means that he must care for her at every moment and will have no time for himself. Though sympathetic to Koharu's situation, Ryuunosuke comes to resent her and the responsibility that threatens to rob him of his youth.
However, Ryuunosuke soon finds his mundane reality replaced by fantasy. When he finds Koharu floating in the air one night, a nightmarish creature from his imagination suddenly attacks them. After his father dispatches the monster, he reveals that Koharu is actually a divine being; her very presence can materialize the monsters that come from the innate fears of others—a power so great that it could lead to the end of the world if used in the wrong hands. With the help of Toukaishuu, an alliance dedicated to dispatching monsters, Ryuunosuke vows to protect Koharu and fight against those who intend to use her abilities for evil.

MAL Description:
A samurai manga about a boy named Zan. Zan's father was a legendary swordsman who used a sword which had no blade (think Sakabatou from Ruroken). Zan's father died one day, and ever since, Zan has wanted to follow in his fathers footsteps.
The manga starts off with Zan being transferred to a new high school in his second year. When pushed, Zan somehow becomes super strong and has incredible sword technique that allows him to beat his enemies.
Is the writing in this manga as sharp as a katana?
David and Jordan give their first thoughts on the Shonen Jump manga Zan. Listen in as they give an overview of the first chapter, where they think it will go from there, and ultimately their “power word” to describe the series so far. They also dive into some listener questions.

MAL Description:
In the world of Golem Hearts, creatures known as golems have become integrated with society, performing all sorts of tasks. These golems are created by the widely-respected "sorcery scholars," and obey the commands of their human masters without question. Noah is a sorcery scholar who strives to become the second best of his kind.
To that end, he travels far and wide to study unique golems around the world. This journey leads him to a certain island, where he encounters a girl named Mary and her golem Murray. As the two get acquainted, we begin to discover that there may be more to Noah than meets the eye.
It’s our two-year anniversary so we’re going to be taking another look at Golem Hearts next week.

MAL Description:
A legend says that the ghost of a girl stands on the top of an old Catholic church, inhabited by the Sagimiya family. Said family has a hateful rivalry with the Bijogi family, who manage a Taoist temple next door. In the middle of all this, Bijogi Taiga has had a crush on Sagimiya Anna, the demure daughter of the priest, since childhood.
Little did he know, the Sagimiya are involved in very un-Catholic activities such as trying to resurrect the spirit of Marie-Thérèse Charlotte, the daughter of the late French queen Marie Antoinette and who has a seemingly endless appetite for food. And since he has found out, he will have to "collaborate"—i.e. be the human sacrifice to that end. Nevertheless, just before the "ritual," Taiga decides to confess his love to Anna and is struck by a lightning bolt the second after. He miraculously survives without a scratch, but somehow finds himself in a body slightly more... blonde and feminine.
Is this manga about the daughter of Marie Antoinette going to be revolutionary?
David and Jordan give their first thoughts on the Shonen Jump manga Hungry Marie. Listen in as they give an overview of the first chapter, where they think it will go from there, and ultimately their “power word” to describe the series so far. They also dive into some listener questions.

MAL Description:
A legend says that the ghost of a girl stands on the top of an old Catholic church, inhabited by the Sagimiya family. Said family has a hateful rivalry with the Bijogi family, who manage a Taoist temple next door. In the middle of all this, Bijogi Taiga has had a crush on Sagimiya Anna, the demure daughter of the priest, since childhood.

MAL Description:
Reiji Hakuba suffers from a genetic condition most men would yearn for: the Ubermale gene, which makes him appear irresistibly handsome to any girl who sees him. On the eve of his 18th birthday, Reiji learns that this gene also affects supernatural beings when cupid princess Kokoro Roko Rokoko appears to profess her love for him. Despite all the admiration, Reiji adamantly refuses all confessions as he has his own crush: childhood friend Shizuku Ichinomiya, the only girl he knows who doesn't fawn over him.
However, the outcome of his recent confession to her is still up in the air as Shizuku is unsure of how she feels about him. As a result, Reiji is still fair game, and Kokoro isn't the only supernatural being after him; a whole mob of otherworldly ladies begin to enter Reiji's life intent on claiming him as their groom. Respecting Reiji's resolve to win over Shizuku, Kokoro decides to protect Reiji from the other admirers, all while attempting to win his heart and make him fall for her instead.

In this episode we, and our guest Megan Danger from Oh No! Lit Class discuss Togo Goto (Story) Kento Matsuura’s (Art) Shonen Jump manga Phantom Seer. From the artist of Tokyo Shinobi Squad comes a story about a girl dealing with a pesky phantom problem aided by the one person who doesn’t want to be involved in this supernatural business at all. Essentially it’s a not-funny version of Matima Security.

The prince is fleeing his royal obligations in pursuit of debauchery.

MAL Description:
Rookie manga artist Teppei Sasaki has worked tirelessly to become serialized in the pages of Weekly Shounen Jump only to be rejected again and again. When the latest one-shot he placed all his hopes in is dismissed, Teppei resolves that after four long years, he should just quit. But just as he makes the decision, lightning strikes his apartment, fusing his microwave and fridge together. As he inspects the mess, the microwave miraculously spits out a magazine: an issue of Shounen Jump from 10 years in the future.
Frontlining this issue is a new serialization titled "White Knight" by Itsuki Aino, a debut so flawless that it moves Teppei deeply. When the issue disappears thereafter, Teppei believes that the idea came from his own imagination and quickly works to copy it down as a one-shot. Submitting it to Shounen Jump, the editors are amazed and decide that the work is good enough to run as a series. With his dreams finally realized, Teppei works to refine the one-shot and it debuts soon after. Meanwhile, elsewhere, a 17-year-old Itsuki Aino opens the latest issue of Shounen Jump to find her fledgling story within its pages, a truth that will soon come crashing down upon Teppei.
From the creator of Baccano! and Durarara!! comes Stealth Symphony. Set in a fantasy-meets-technology world, you’re just as likely to see a Lizardman as you are an advertisement for the latest cell phone. This manga is about Jig, a human who has been fused with a powerful dragon artifact that’s cursed to act violently to hostile threats. Jig goes to the city of Jinbō-chō in hopes of finding a cure, and we follow his adventures as he adjusts to city life, makes new friends, and learns to use his powers. However, things go completely off the rails from there to the degree Hideo Kojima would be impressed. You’ll have to tune in to find out more.

Mitama Security: Spirit Busters is a gag manga about Rena Haze, a teenage girl who’s haunted by over 100 spirits. To manage these spirits, she’s protected by Joh Mitama, a member of Secureity (a pun on rei which means spirit). Joh, however, is afraid of ghosts and as such is very ineffective at his role. Lucky for them, it turns out the spirits are mostly harmless and actually quite beneficial. As such the series follows their day-by-day ghost-related hijinks such as basketball, cooking, and even going on dates.

So, last episode we covered Bone Collection, which is absolute trash. However, aspects of the manga (the constant gags, the romance plot, a boy and a girl as the two protagonists, frequently pulling from Japanese culture and mythology) reminded me of a way better series: Inuyasha.
The main plot follows Kagome, a young schoolgirl who falls down a well into an alternate dimension that is also ancient Japan (don’t think too hard about it). There she meets Inuyasha, a half-dog demon. Or a half-demon dog? He’s a half-demon but the demon part is part dog. I think. It makes more sense if you’re familiar with Japanese mythology, which I barely am. Anyway, Kagome and Inuyasha commence traveling across feudal Japan in search of shards of the Shikon jewel, which when reassembled will grant its owner any wish. Also, Kagome is the reincarnation of Inuyasha’s girlfriend Kikyo who got tricked into pinning him to a tree with an arrow for like 50 years but if I start going into detail with the story this article will never end.
Inuyasha is notable because it’s one of the few franchises to successfully appeal to boys and girls at the same time. There are really cool fight scenes with big flashy attacks and Inuyasha has a massive cool anime sword, which I thought was really cool when I was a teenager. But on the other hand, the series has romance, pretty boys, and a surprising amount of strong female characters (probably because it was written by a woman), which ensured the series had a large following among teen girls too. It really is a show that has something for everyone.
Inuyasha is 167 episodes long and can be streamed on Hulu.
Bone Collection is set on a version of modern-day earth where people have to worry about regular attacks from yokai - a kind of Japanese spirit. Protecting humanity is exorcists, humans able to use spiritual energy and talismans. The main character is Jinai Kazami, an exorcist who is notable for having almost no spiritual energy. To make up for this he is able to use a forbidden technique which lets him team up with yokai by borrowing their power.

MAL Description:
Although the Jinnai clan are well-renowned exorcists, the youngest son Kazami is nothing but an embarrassment to the family. Unable to wield basic spells or combat youkai adequately, Kazami is seen as a talentless exorcist. Despite possessing the powerful "Youkai Spell," a skill that temporarily utilizes any youkai's power, he has been banned by the exorcist society from using it as fraternization between the two races is strictly prohibited.
One night, Kazami fatefully encounters Paira, a strange yet cute girl from the youkai realm. In an attempt to protect her from another youkai, Kazami is faced with little choice and uses the forbidden spell to borrow her power. With overwhelming strength, he dispatches the foe with ease and learns that Paira is actually an SSS-class youkai known as "Gashadokuro." Having grown tired with the youkai world, Paira has always wished to become human, something that may be possible with Kazami's ability. Thus, she makes a deal with him: if he uses the "Youkai Spell" to help turn her human, she will marry him. Going along with the arrangement, Kazami can finally become a powerful exorcist who can protect people; but in turn, he must keep his uneasy relationship with Paira a secret from the prying eyes of the exorcists.
In our upcoming episode, we will be discussing Bone Collection. Not to spoil the episode but we don’t like it. It’s a shame because the concept of supernatural entities teaming up with powerful spiritualists reminded me a lot of Shaman King, a manga that was very important to me as a kid. I first discovered it in the initial American run of Shonen Jump when I was 13 and immediately fell in love.
Shaman King follows Yoh Asakura, a hilariously easygoing kid who doesn’t explicitly smoke weed but acts as he does. Yoh is a Shaman, a mystic whose purpose is to help wayward ghosts satisfy their desires so that they can move on to the next world. He does this by allowing them to possess him, giving them the ability to interact with the real world using his body as a medium. Of course, since this is a shonen manga, Yoh primarily teams up with a legendary samurai named Amidamaru. This gives him incredible fighting abilities so that he can participate in the Shaman Fight, a worldwide tournament to decide the Shaman King (title drop), a ruler with immense power over the future of the planet.
Shaman King is an immediately enjoyable manga with a lot of fun fight scenes and great characters. The manga mixes a ton of different mythologies together in order to best represent the Fight as a worldwide phenomenon, and it’s pretty effective. The art is angular, dynamic, and expressive, and it’s hard not to like perennially chill Yoh and the equally fun supporting cast.
The Shaman King anime does have a dub but it was done by, ugh, 4Kids. It isn’t as bad as their One Piece dub where they gave the characters bizarre voices and had to censor out blood and guns in essentially every episode but it still isn’t good. They did their standard fair of making every other line a terrible joke and changing most Non-English names into easily pronounceable American ones, and they’re very silly. Manta becomes Morty, Hao becomes Zeke, and Horohoro becomes Trey Boarder (???). Plus 4Kids always changed the musical score and turned it into the same generic cheesy orchestral music that they used in all of their shows. Just go with the subs on this one.
Update: Oh silly me how could I forget to mention the earth shattering news: Shaman King is getting a new anime adaptation to be released in 2021! I can only hope it gets the Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Hunter X Hunter treatment and becomes the best version of Shaman King out there.
Shaman King was written and drawn by Hiroyuki Takei and is 35 volumes. You can read it for free with an Amazon Prime subscription at ComiXology. The new Shaman King anime adaptation is scheduled to be released in April of 2021 and is being made by BRIDGE.
One of the things we constantly said during our recent Mashle recommendation episode was how much it reminded us of One-Punch Man. But what is One-Punch Man? Well, it’s one of the best animes of the 2010s which also serves as a brilliant satire of shonen manga as a whole.
In a world that’s constantly under threat from monsters and aliens, elite super-powered heroes have become pillars of society. We follow Saitama, a bald goofy guy who dons a cape and yellow pajamas. Despite his appearance, he nevertheless is by far the strongest person in the universe. The show’s title refers to how he can literally defeat every enemy in one punch, which is a source of frustration for Saitama, who is constantly looking for a challenge.
Saitama is a great character but the real magic of One-Punch Man comes from the supporting cast. Most of the people who gradually begin to surround Saitama are heroes that are unbeatable compared to most of their peers but are totally outclassed by Saitama. You’d think that a show where the main character is invincible would completely defuse any sense of danger, but the opposite winds up being true because, sure, Saitama can win, but what about the other heroes? When Genos, Saitama’s protege, gets in an intense fight, you genuinely don’t know if he’ll be able to succeed or if Saitama will have to somehow show up.
Also, the fights are absolutely incredible. The first season especially is gorgeously animated and drawn, with some truly massive battles. It’s one of the most intelligent and clever anime out there, it’s hilarious, and it’s just fantastic. Check it out. One-Punch Man is based on a manga by ONE and Yusuke Murata that is based on a webcomic by ONE, both of which are still ongoing. You can watch it on Netflix or Hulu in English or Japanese.
As a change of pace, this episode is about an ongoing series you should check out!
Mashle: Magic and Muscles is set where magic is a part of everyday life. Main character Mash, however, is one of few not able to use magic. To compensate, Mash instead has trained his body to a superhuman level. His life is uprooted when the police discover he’s unable to cast magic - a crime punishable by death. However, he makes a deal that if he becomes the top student at the prestigious Easton Magic Academy the “Divine Chosen”, they’ll look the other way, bribed by the riches that title provides.

Shonen Flop is hosted by David Weinberger and Jordan Forbes, where each episode they look at a manga that ran in Weekly Shonen Jump that couldn't quite make it. Listen in to find out what the manga did wrong, what it did right, how the series could have turned itself around, and ultimately was it a flop or not.
MAL Description:
To everyone else in his magic-dominated world, the young and powerless Mash Vandead is a threat to the gene pool and must be purged. Living secretly in the forest, he spends every day training his body, building muscles strong enough to compete with magic itself! However, upon having his identity exposed and his peaceful life threatened, Mash begins his journey to becoming a "Divine Visionary," a role so powerful that society would have no choice but to accept his existence.
And so, in order to maintain his peaceful life, the magicless Mash enrolls in the prestigious Easton Magic Academy, competing against the children of some of the most powerful and elite in the realm. Lacking the very skill needed to survive at Easton, magic, Mash appears to already be at a disadvantage to his fellow classmates. In order to achieve his goals, Mash will have to fight his way through every trial using his fists alone, overcoming magic with muscles, all for the illustrious title of Divine Visionary!
In our next episode of Shonen Flop, we’ll be covering Mashle: Magic and Muscles, a satirical comedy manga making fun of Harry Potter and the growing trend of magical high school anime like Little Witch Academia or The Irregular at Magic High School. The latter is a random anime I’ve never heard of that I found by googling “magical high school anime.” Since I’m too lazy to come up with a proper segue, this seems like a good excuse to talk about Cromartie High School, which is a surrealist comedy series that also takes place in high school. Cromartie is a weird show. Well, maybe that’s not totally accurate. Cromartie is a silly show.
Cromartie High School is mostly an ensemble cast and it doesn’t really have a “plot,” but the main character is Takashi Kamiyama, a straight-laced average student who transfers to the school of delinquent gangsters in order to seem smart by comparison. The students of Cromartie High are aggressive laconic punks who secretly have hearts of gold. They all have strong chins, intense furrowed brows, and look at least 35 (despite being 16). Notable attendees include a robot that no one seems to notice is mechanical - even though he’s clearly a robot, a gorilla who plays acoustic guitar, and Freddy Mercury. No, there isn’t any explanation for why the late great singer of Queen is a Japanese high school student and frankly, if you need one then Cromartie High School may not be the anime for you.
The secret to Cromartie’s success comes from how the characters play everything as straight as an arrow, reacting to each silly thing that happens with the gravity of a terminal illness. Trying to figure out the name of a song that’s stuck in a character’s head is treated like a school-wide crisis, and concludes with the entire student body humming it in a performance in the auditorium. Why? Don’t worry about it, it’s great.
If you’re not sure whether or not the show is for you, watch this clip. It’s the first gag in the first episode, and it does an amazing job of laying out the kind of humor this show has. If that style of humor appeals to you as much as it does to me then you’ll probably enjoy the rest of Cromartie High School.
Cromartie High School is based on a manga created by Eiji Nonaka. You can watch it subbed or dubbed on Crunchyroll.
It feels kind of redundant to write an article recommending Cowboy Bebop. It’s the perennial “anime for people who don’t like anime” because it’s so damn cool that it transcends its own medium. It regularly appears at the top of all-time-great lists and it earns those placements with ease. Sure we had fun reading Samurai 8 for our most recent episode, even giving it the coveted “not a flop” status, but let’s be real: Cowboy Bebop is the reigning champion of space anime.
The show centers around the bounty hunter crew of the spaceship Bebop. Spike Spiegel, a comedically laid back space cowboy, is the closest thing to the main character. He and his partner Jet, a grizzled ex-cop with a robot arm, are the two original members of the team. Soon, however, they’re joined by Faye, a seductive con artist, Ed, a child super hacker, and Ein, a Corgi.
Cowboy Bebop does have an overarching plot, but it’s really more an anthology of short stories. This format really works out in Bebop’s favor because those stories are great. Like if Star Trek were a western, each episode introduces you to a new planet with great characters and a new enthralling conflict. The best parts, however, are when that week’s situation draws out the main characters’ backstories. And the music. Oh my god, the music. From the iconic jazzy intro song “Tank,” to the incredibly varied score that changes styles drastically to fit each episode, the music is easily one of the biggest reasons to watch Cowboy Bebop.
See you around space cowboy.
Cowboy Bebop was created by Shinichirō Watanabe. You can watch it subbed or dubbed on Hulu.
Samurai 8 is set in a Star Wars-esque fantasy-sci fi world in which humanity has become scattered amongst the cosmos. Maintaining the peace are the samurai. These powerful warriors are a combination of magic and cybernetics. They consist of those who have died, but had strong enough will to create a new body created from the energy of their fighting spirit, and wield their soul as weapons.

MAL Description:
He can't run! He can't eat hard food. You can't get any weaker than the boy named Hachimaru. But his dream is to become a samurai. For a boy who can't even survive without the help of his father, that dream seemed impossible. But when a samurai cat appears before him, his whole life will change! A legendary manga creator and a rising star come together to bring you this science fiction samurai epic!
One of the themes that SWOT, the subject of our latest episode, tried to play around with was romance in a highschool setting. Its questionable attempt might be making you, the reader, wonder how an anime/manga can do the job properly. Look no further than Kaguya-sama: Love Is War aka Kaguya Wants to Be Confessed To.
Love is War might look like a typical high school romance, but it has a twist: the two main characters both have a crush on each other, but neither wants to look weak by being the first to confess. This leads to a battle of wits, as they try and manipulate each other into admitting they have feelings. They have to do this while balancing the responsibilities of being the student body president and vice-president, respectively, of a prestigious highschool.
The series shows how important strong writing is for the genre. For instance, even things that would normally be mundane - like who should hold an umbrella when the main characters are trapped in the rain - are played out like the cat-and-mouse mind games you see in more serious shows. Further selling the writing is the fantastic cast of characters. From the blissful but simple-minded secretary Chika (of the infamous Chika Dance) to the anxiety-riddled treasurer Ishigami. Everyone has their own unique motivations outside of moving the plot forward, which makes the cast feel fleshed out. Also, the opening theme is damn catchy.
Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is written by Aka Akasaka and is still ongoing. You can catch up on the manga on the VIZ site, or watch it subbed or dubbed on Crunchyroll.
In our most recent episode, we talked about how SWOT failed at its attempt to be an action manga set in high school. The manga “Parasyte”, and especially its 2014 anime adaptation “Parasyte: the Maxim” shows how the idea can be done fantastically, while also adding some unique horror elements.
Based on an extremely popular and influential manga from 1988, Parasyte is the story of Shinichi Izumi, a high school student who wakes up one day to find that his right hand has been replaced with a shape-shifting talking parasitic entity known as Migi. The story slowly spins out of control as it’s discovered that everyday people have been totally taken over by the parasites. Together Shinichi and Migi must fight to stop a secret invasion by other parasites while Shinichi struggles to retain his humanity as they become more and more conjoined. The paranoia and tension skyrockets as the show turns into a combination of John Carpenter’s “The Thing” and John Carpenter’s “They Live.”
As a horror anime, the show does have blood and gore as well as plenty of body horror, but in terms of the genre, it’s pretty tame. It uses just enough to get its point across and isn’t overly excessive, but if that stuff really bothers you then maybe skip this. Also if you’ve played Resident Evil 4 you might just notice a few similarities between the parasites in that game and the ones in Parasyte (and by “a few similarities” I mean RE4 basically just copied them for Las Plagas.)
Parasyte: The Maxim was created by Madhouse and is available on Netflix and Hulu. The original 1988 Manga was written by Hitoshi Iwaati and currently is published in North America by Kodansha Comics.
SWOT (a Japanese term for a nerd who studies too much) is a battle manga about academic genius Manabizaki Kyou. He’s a brand new student at the notorious Skeleton Highschool, who’s transferred to improve his chances of getting into Tokyo University. However, It turns out that Skeleton Highschool isn’t known for its academic rigor, but rather for the constant student brawling. Kyou and his group of friends now have to become the strongest fighters in the school to bring peace, all while balancing their studies.

MAL Description:
Transfer student Manabizaki Kyou is a swot, a person who spends too much time studying. His dream is to attend Tokyo University and then work for NASA! He will soon discover, however, that the high school he's transferred into, which was once very prestigious, has taken in delinquents from the surrounding schools. Now it is full of violence and gang fights.
Luckily, Manabizaki has a surprising skill at fighting, particularly when he's defending the peace of his study area. Through this strength he'll find his new friends, a weak boy called Iwashida and a legendary delinquent girl, Hasuno Nene, who makes him feel things that, for the first time in his life, he can't explain...
We talk a lot about manga on our podcast, but in truth, comics are a worldwide phenomenon. For instance, Dark Mage, the comic we covered on our most recent episode (at the time of this writing), is actually not a manga but a “manhwa,” a comic from South Korea. If that episode got you interested in that medium then you should check out Solo Leveling.
Solo Leveling is set in a world where monsters have begun to invade our world, leading to certain people, hunters, gaining the ability to fight them. The main character is Sung Jin-Woo, considered by his peers to be the weakest of the hunters. However, after surviving a terrifying encounter with a high-level monster, video game-style menu screens start appearing to him, giving him instructions on how to get stronger.
Like Dark Mage, Solo Leveling is an action manhwa that takes place in a world heavily influenced by games. While Dark Mage was all about Dungeons and Dragons, Solo Leveling instead takes influence from MMORPGs like World of Warcraft. Everything from how the hunters team up to take on dungeons, how their parties consist of traditional gaming roles like tank and healer, to how Jin-Woo is able to tell how strong monsters are by the text color of their names, serves to reinforce the video game spirit. This creates a very interesting fusion of a setting that isn’t quite like anything I’ve read before.
Unlike Shonen Jump manga, which is intended to be printed in black-and-white physical books, Solo Leveling is a “webtoon,” meaning that it was created specifically to be read on a computer or phone screen. The result is some truly incredible fully colored art, which is formatted in panel arrangements that would not be possible in a physically printed comic that you'll have to read for yourself to see.
Solo Leveling at the time of writing has 114 chapters. You can read the first 15 for free via the official release here. It’s drawn by Dubu and written by Chugong, who also wrote the web novel ‘Only I Level Up’ which the series is adapted from.
Let’s say that after listening to our episode on Dark Mage, you still (for some reason) don’t want to read it, but the theme of eastern-magic-vs-western-magic or the concept of the main character living with a disability intrigues you. That sentence was a contrived way of segueing into telling you to watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
Brotherhood is the second anime adaptation of the manga Fullmetal Alchemist. It’s the story of the Elric brothers, two young boys who try to use the power of alchemy (a genuine science in their world) to bring their mother back from the dead. The attempt fails and the brothers suffer severe consequences as a result. The older brother, Edward, loses an arm and a leg, while his younger brother, Alphonse, loses his entire body and has his soul transferred into an empty suit of armor. Together, they dedicate themselves to getting their bodies back by searching for the legendary “philosopher’s stone”. English Harry Potter fans know what’s up.
I just binged the whole series in two days, I didn’t want to stop watching it, I’m just so in love with these characters. I cried a lot. The series is great even if you’re completely unfamiliar with the series or even manga/anime as a whole. If you, like me, enjoyed the first adaptation, then you owe it to yourself to check this series out too. The first anime, Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), finished production before the manga was finished, meaning that the show’s creators had to invent a completely different plot when they started outpacing the manga’s author (think Game of Thrones except it wound up still having a good ending). The result is that Brotherhood is a vastly different story than the one that first ran on Adult Swim when we were kids. These are, without a doubt, the best versions of these characters, and this story deserves to be experienced.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is 64 episodes, available in both English dub and Japanese with subtitles, and you can find it on Netflix, Hulu, Crunchyroll, and VRV.
Dark Mage is the tale of Dok Go-Sung, a powerful warrior in an Asian-inspired fantasy world. However, on the verge of death after an intense battle, he’s saved by a group of wizards that take him to their homeworld, Truvania to help fight against a group of evil dragons and their army of monsters.

MAL Description:
Despite having never played the sport, short-statured Sakura Shishigaya is dedicated to rugby in every way. After watching the late professional Onotora "The Beast" Itsuki play on the field, Sakura has been inspired to take up the game. However, as the sole member of his middle school's rugby team, he is unable to practice nor experience the sport with other players.
Yet when he encounters Onotora's son Yukito, Sakura seizes the chance to overcome his predicament. Though initially dismissive of Sakura's ability, a quick sparring match manages to impress Yukito. In return, Yukito reveals that he will be attending Hyakkengawa, enticing Sakura to follow suit in hopes of joining the same team. But, when Sakura enrolls into the high school, Yukito is nowhere to be found.
Nevertheless, Sakura believes that Yukito led him to the school for a reason. At Hyakkengawa, the rugby team has been mentored by the one and only Onotora, and, in Sakura, they have met the newest member of their family.

MAL Description:
Robato Hatohara is a serious, inflexible, and clueless first-year student at Eiai Academy. His lack of expression and social awareness combined with robotic mannerisms have earned him the nickname "Robo." The only person who enjoys talking to him is Tomoya Nakata—his lone friend and member of the school's golf club. Nakata has tried to recruit Hatohara into the club on several occasions, but failed due to the other's complete disinterest in the sport.
While out at a driving range together, Hatohara hits a shot as straight as a laser beam using Nakata's finicky golf club, achieving a hole-in-one. This stuns his friend as well as Youzan Miura—an up-and-coming young professional golfer whose swing style has earned him the nickname "Samurai." Following a brief case of mistaken identity, Miura and Hatohara find themselves playing against each other, upon which the former learns that the latter is a complete amateur who has no desire to play golf.
Impressed by his opponent's innate talent, Miura requests that Hatohara reach his level and challenge him. With a newfound goal to strive for, the deadpan Hatohara sets off to secure a regular position on Eiai's golf team, in hope of teeing off against his rival again.
