The game is on!
I just realised I forgot to update this thread with the two podcast episodes that we did before the most recent one. Coincidentally it's fitting that I share both of these episodes now in the same post, since the manga we talk about in those episodes are made by the same guy, Makoto Yukimura. ^^
First up we got Planetes, a four volume long series from the late 90s/early 00s, that we covered in a single discussion episode. We were lucky to have @DekuNut join us as a guest for this one! This manga has a pretty grounded sci-fi story about the importance of love, and we had a blast talking about it!
Next we talked about the newest Vinland Saga book. This series has steadily become my favourite manga of all time - probably even my favourite story from any medium to be honest. It's set during the viking age and deals with messages such as anti-violence and redemption in a beautiful way. It depicts a physical and a spiritual journey unlike anything else I've seen, and this book had an especially strong effect on me.
