• 0:03
  What's up, y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
• 0:06
  talk, I'm a house, Robert. And today, we're going to be
• 0:09
  talking about volume 1 of Mama Akuma.
• 0:13
  So, this series was a very chill, awesome read.
• 0:23
  And it's one. I just randomly came across a
• 0:25
  couple weeks ago and y'all know how I am.
• 0:30
  I see something that I have Before I'm looking to it and saw
• 0:34
  the okay, it's no. Fairly fairly recent release.
• 0:38
  So first off, the author is kuzey Shiro and it's published
• 0:45
  by Yen. Press, so volume, one likes I
• 0:48
  came out like a month or so ago and volume 2 is actually coming
• 0:52
  out in a couple of days. I kind of always kind of
• 0:56
  debating if especially after reading this volume.
• 0:59
  If like maybe I'll wait, And pick up the second volume and
• 1:04
  then do kind of like kind of like a double volume review or
• 1:08
  Impressions whatever. But I was like you know what?
• 1:09
  No let's go ahead and just talk about it now.
• 1:13
  So yeah. So this first volume consists of
• 1:19
  basically 10 chapters but it's more like nine and a half and
• 1:24
  the premise of this. And I think they kind of like
• 1:30
  Got my attention as far as okay. This this seems like something
• 1:33
  very wholesome that I need to read.
• 1:36
  So this guy the the basically the demon is name is sear and or
• 1:45
  he is a Seer, I guess but see her we'll just they call him.
• 1:48
  See her and this young lady Sakura Masuda.
• 1:56
  So long story short Sakura, basically, she grew up without
• 2:02
  her mother. It's just her her dad, and her
• 2:06
  older brother. And so she basically Through
• 2:10
  research or whatever. She is up summoning.
• 2:16
  Sear to Grant her wish. Now, sear, he's been around for
• 2:21
  centuries and he Prides himself on being able to basically
• 2:26
  having like a perfect record of being able to Grant any wish
• 2:31
  whether it be, hey, I want to be the wealthiest person in the
• 2:33
  world or hey, I want you to help me, Crush my enemies, whatever
• 2:38
  the request is he Prides himself on being the best and fulfilling
• 2:43
  those requests now, When he gets summoned by Sakura and he's just
• 2:51
  like, yo, what's up? What can I do for you?
• 2:55
  Tell me your wish and I will make it happen and she's like, I
• 2:59
  want you to be my mama. He's like what?
• 3:04
  And that's basically how things kick off.
• 3:08
  And so like I said, it's just a mix of this young girl because
• 3:13
  she's about in fourth grade if I remember correctly.
• 3:18
  Do. Do, do, do, do do yeah, I think
• 3:21
  she's about fourth grade somewhere in that age range
• 3:26
  which basically puts her around maybe like around the age of ten
• 3:28
  or so nine, ten somewhere in there.
• 3:32
  So Yeah, that that is like. So that is the jumping off
• 3:37
  point. And I felt like, I feel like
• 3:41
  reading the synopsis of it and then A couple weeks ago just
• 3:47
  funny coincidence. Those are they might not have
• 3:51
  seen it yet but I have recorded a Show episode with Momma Loves
• 3:55
  manga. And I felt like it was the stars
• 3:59
  aligning because all my way home from work right before we
• 4:06
  recorded Right before we recorded something about hey
• 4:11
  stop by your local, your local bookstore and just browse around
• 4:14
  and I did. And that's why I came across
• 4:16
  this well, funny coincidence. When I was talking with with
• 4:22
  Mama loves manga during our podcast episode, which I'll put
• 4:28
  links up here and in the description, All That Jazz kind
• 4:31
  of find out. She also had recently gotten a
• 4:34
  copy and read it as well. And she was somehow Awesome.
• 4:38
  It wasn't, I was okay between the premise and then her talking
• 4:42
  about, I'm okay, I am sure I am I gonna enjoy this?
• 4:47
  And I did just because of the fact of, like I said, it is
• 4:50
  this, this young girl, who basically she spends a lot of
• 4:57
  time alone because, you know, with her only Heaven as far as I
• 5:01
  parental figure, she only has her dad, but he is.
• 5:05
  He works for like a for a manga company.
• 5:07
  So he's Always either coming home, super late or working
• 5:11
  overnight. And so that kind of makes her
• 5:13
  and her older brother, but because of her because her
• 5:16
  brother is older and because of stuff he has going on with
• 5:19
  school. Sometimes he's getting home
• 5:20
  later. So, a lot of times she's either
• 5:22
  at home by herself or sometimes, I think works on, I think you
• 5:27
  Chan the, this teenage girl who's their neighbor will
• 5:33
  oftentimes come over and spend time with her, help her with her
• 5:36
  homework and stuff like that. But She basically was trying to
• 5:39
  find or needing somebody to help fill that void of no, no, no.
• 5:44
  I always wanted to be by herself.
• 5:46
  And yeah. So it is just like I said, such
• 5:49
  a sweet and just wholesome series, of course I do enjoy or
• 5:56
  I enjoyed like when the brother came home and then finding out
• 6:00
  about his sister summoning, this demon and then the brother of
• 6:04
  course is like heck now, like, get out of my, get out the house
• 6:08
  like Like, who are you? You're creepy.
• 6:11
  No, you're not my mama, you know, and, but I also enjoy the
• 6:15
  kind of, you know, slowly. See.
• 6:19
  You're trying to get to know the brother and stuff like that,
• 6:24
  because there was even like a, like a like a, like a dog on par
• 6:27
  with their playing games together.
• 6:29
  With shout out to them playing on basically like, basically a
• 6:32
  need-to-know switch because you can see it in the freaking doc.
• 6:35
  They had a joy cars, basically. But another one, my like
• 6:40
  favorite panels. Whereas this one because I'm a
• 6:44
  I'm a hey, I feel you where he's up for talking about.
• 6:48
  Don't touch my manga. When Sarah was trying to help
• 6:53
  him with some stuff whatever. And you just like, no, don't
• 6:56
  know. Get out of my room.
• 6:58
  Don't touch my mom and I'm like, hey, bro, I feel your man.
• 7:02
  That's how that's how I be sometimes.
• 7:05
  Got to protect the collection, but, but, yeah.
• 7:10
  But the, the other kind of just interesting thing is Is that
• 7:14
  despite all the requests and stuff they see your has done
• 7:17
  over the centuries. This is definitely the heart is
• 7:20
  hard as task because even simple stuff of like, you know, soccer
• 7:24
  is a hey, you know, help me do the laundry and of course he's a
• 7:27
  demon. He has magic and stuff whatever.
• 7:29
  So he's like got stuff unto the and she's like no that's not how
• 7:34
  my mama would do it or whatever. Mamas don't have magic, do it by
• 7:38
  hand. And so he's having to do all
• 7:40
  these different things by hand. And so like I said, It's just
• 7:42
  very sweet, very adorable. And just seeing him try to
• 7:50
  understand this 4th grade girl and her request for him to be
• 7:56
  her mama and what exactly that means and what that entails.
• 8:02
  Because, you know, there is so much behind, you know, the words
• 8:08
  of. Hey, this is my mother.
• 8:10
  This is my father that I feel like, you know, they, they
• 8:15
  slowly chip away A are with no with the help of other
• 8:19
  characters that come around. Like I said, the neighbor and
• 8:22
  the dad and even the brother just trying to help him
• 8:26
  understand, you know what it means to be a mother.
• 8:32
  And yeah, with that, like I said, it is like I said it's
• 8:35
  just a super chill, but heartwarming and wholesome
• 8:42
  series that that is all I can say and I am definitely.
• 8:46
  Very excited to pick up the next volume because, you know, I am
• 8:53
  definitely very interested. I read like a little bit of the
• 8:56
  synopsis for volume 22 where I was basically talking about how
• 8:59
  another Damon shows up, I guess from like the organization where
• 9:03
  they he's with and Betsy coming to investigate like, hey, what
• 9:06
  is taking so long for him to fulfill this request?
• 9:09
  So that has my interest piqued for sure.
• 9:12
  But yeah. And on the back you see the Add
• 9:17
  and then the the brother they're playing on the plane that with
• 9:20
  the switch controller. But um, but yeah, but like I
• 9:23
  said, I highly recommend it. Like I said, it is volume ones
• 9:28
