The Spooky Stage and October Manga · Dad Needs To Talk

0:03
What's up y'all? Welcome back to Daddy's talk.
0:06
I'm your host Robert. And today, today I'm going to be
0:10
talking about me finally catching up on a Kanye Banachi
0:15
and some of my favorite manga that I read this month of
0:19
October. But before I get into all that,
0:22
as always, if this is your first time here, then welcome.
0:25
But if you're returning listener and or watcher, then welcome
0:28
back. Yeah, I know here at Danny's to
0:30
talk. It's all about fatherhood and
0:31
family. Manga, anime, TV shows, movies
0:35
and some video games. Shout out to the wife for the
0:39
game over thing up there. So I hope everybody there has
0:44
been doing well. Your boy has been highly
0:49
stressed. I am recording this on
0:52
Halloween. Yeah, life has been insane.
0:58
And as always, if you want to jump ahead to, you know, the
1:02
favorite manga of the month or other things, whatever.
1:05
I got time stamps in the description below.
1:07
But your boy needs to needs to talk for just just a little bit
1:12
because it, you know, it. It's been a couple of weeks, I
1:16
believe, since I've done an episode, I think.
1:20
I don't know, time is a blur right now.
1:23
Yes, yes, yes. I think the last episode I did,
1:25
I think is when I talked about all the.
1:30
No, I thought I did the community parenting episode
1:34
thing on the 17th. When was that?
1:37
Was that recent? Two weeks ago, yeah.
1:42
And then before that, that's not talked about Transformers 1 and
1:46
the wild robot and Astro Royale. OK, So yeah, so.
1:50
But anyway, yeah, life has been busy.
1:54
Life has been extremely stressful.
2:00
My wife had nasal pass surgery about a week ago.
2:07
And so with that, you know, obviously she's going through
2:11
recovery and things like that. So for Long story short, that
2:14
basically had to deal with, I think I probably mentioned
2:17
before on the show at some point, some of the years that my
2:20
wife has had insane allergy problems.
2:24
Like we've been together for 10 years and she's had them I think
2:28
since childhood. So very bad sinus sinuses and
2:33
allergies. And so she got finally got found
2:35
a specialist to get some stuff done with that or whatever, but
2:41
bad. So but with that, you know with
2:43
her doing that, you know, lots of recovery and downtime, no
2:47
heavy lifting and no driving, which this is the worst time of
2:53
year for there to only be 1 driver more because the same day
3:00
she had surgery was the official first day of of basketball
3:05
season. And so this last week has just
3:10
been insanity with the practices to driving and stuff, just just
3:18
the day-to-day stuff, you know, because it's like, because it is
3:21
now fully upon me in the mornings and in the afternoons
3:26
to, you know, get everybody to school and then picking
3:29
everybody up from school or practice or whatever the case
3:33
may be. And then this past weekend,
3:36
y'all it was, it was insane. So my daughters had their first
3:43
scrimmages for school, for the school basketball.
3:47
And so they played 615 minute scrimmages just back-to-back
3:56
almost from between 10:00 and 1:00.
3:59
And then my son had practice, think one to three.
4:04
Luckily it was all at the same high school.
4:06
So son, my son just came with us, watched his sisters play for
4:10
a handful of games before he had to go to practice.
4:13
And then my sister, I mean, my daughters were in a Zombie Fest
4:21
basketball tournament for their club basketball team outside of
4:25
school Saturday night. And so they had games at 10:00
4:31
PM midnight and 1:00 AM. So yeah, so this day they
4:37
started at like getting them up at 7:00 for all the scrimmages
4:42
and the practices and stuff and then having games at 10:00 PM,
4:46
midnight and 1:00 AM. So we didn't get home until
4:52
about 3:00 AM Saturday or going into Sunday, 3:00 AM Sunday, try
4:59
to sleep as much as possible. But of course, Vash, he's not
5:02
doing any sports, so he's on a regular seat schedule.
5:05
So he was a bright and early Sunday.
5:06
We want to come in a room and hang out.
5:09
I kicked him out once. He came back like an hour or so
5:12
later. Daddy, I'm hungry.
5:14
You know, my wife is, you know, so drugged up on her medications
5:18
and stuff. She's out of Commission.
5:20
So I'm like, OK, Daddy would get up and feed you, I guess.
5:25
And then it was just like trying to get some sleep where I could
5:29
in between, because my daughter's had another game
5:33
Sunday evening at 5:00. So yeah, it it it's just been
5:38
and same for the last week and now the actual game games are
5:42
about to start from my older 3. Whatever, my daughters have a
5:46
freaking game and Abilene end of this week, which is 2 1/2 hours
5:53
from here. I'm not going to be able to go
5:55
unfortunately, because I've I've had a miss like 2-3 days.
6:01
Yeah, three days just to be around the house up with my wife
6:06
with the no recovery and stuff, whatever and things of that
6:11
nature. So, you know, I can only take so
6:13
many days off, but, you know, it, it is what it is.
6:16
But but yeah, it's going to be a lot of that now that they're in
6:21
high school, during high school sports, they're traveling
6:23
further out. Not to say, you know, we we've
6:26
of course we've traveled before. You know, we went to freaking
6:28
Ohio this summer and you know, my son's played in Vegas and
6:34
Tennessee and all over the place, whatever.
6:37
But this is, you know, school wise, we're branching outside of
6:41
our just our little district where everything was like 10 to
6:44
15 minutes away. So now they're going hours plus.
6:48
So. So, yeah, so we're about to be
6:50
in the full swing of that, you know, so we'll see how I'll get
6:57
to record. But I want to say that, saying
6:59
all that to say, Speaking of recording, whatever, I was
7:05
really wanting to do this yesterday afternoon, but it was
7:09
all, you know what, Everybody's up and bouncing around being
7:11
loud. I'm gonna wait till, you know,
7:14
maybe after 910 o'clock for everybody to get settled.
7:16
Well, by then I'd have been up all day, worked and stuff,
7:19
whatever, running around and stuff.
7:21
And so it's like 10:00 home. I'm like, I think I'm going to
7:26
get in bed and then, you know, here we are.
7:31
But you know, I, I kind of want to try to get back to carving
7:36
this time out for myself and kind of running, reminding
7:39
myself. And I might do a whole separate
7:42
episode on this later on. But just like remembering my
7:45
roots and keeping it simple when it comes to doing the podcast
7:51
and stuff. Because sometimes I try to get
7:52
too fancy and too cute because like, oh, I want it because like
7:56
last month, you know, I did like a whole separate favorite manga
8:00
I read of September thing, whatever.
8:02
And I was like, oh, maybe that can be a thing I'll do every
8:04
month or whatever. Come on now.
8:07
I I just told y'all the insane week week I've had and we're not
8:11
even fully in like in full run mode with the season and stuff,
8:17
whatever. And so it's just like, well, I
8:22
was already going to do a regular episode anyways.
8:25
Just freaking just do them together.
8:27
Like everything got to be special stuff, whatever, because
8:30
like at the heart of it, this is just a podcast for me to talk
8:35
about what I want to talk about. And hey, some weeks I might talk
8:39
about a convention I went to, some weeks I'm gonna talk about
8:42
some cool shows I'm watching, some weeks, maybe some games and
8:45
some weeks some manga and some weeks that we just talking life
8:49
like I did with the community parenting episode last time.
8:53
But bam. So that that's just, like I
8:55
said, like a thing just like reminding myself to just stop
8:59
overthinking it, just keep it simple, you know, consolidate
9:03
things, whatever, keep it simple and stuff.
9:09
So, so yeah, so but yeah, but otherwise, you know, things are
9:12
as as good as they can be, you know, work is still keeping me
9:17
very busy and stuff on top of all the stuff I got going on
9:20
here at the house. But yeah, so like I said, I hope
9:26
y'all are out there doing well because you know, my, my brain
9:31
is cooked, all right. And so with that being said, I
9:36
guess I'll go ahead and jump into some of the stuff I want to
9:38
talk about today. So yeah, with, with things being
9:42
so insane, like I don't think, I haven't really watched any
9:45
anime. I don't think any this last week
9:49
or whatever because originally weeks ago my plan was, oh, OK,
9:54
you know, I'll do my fall preview episode and then I'll
9:59
take a couple of weeks to catch up on the rest of the stuff from
10:01
summer, which I did watch a couple of things, you know, and
10:05
then I'll do an episode on that and then blah, blah, blah, blah,
10:08
blah. But life happens.
10:10
Derailed all them plans. Haven't watched any anime
10:15
current or older whatever for like the last week and some
10:18
change and that is OK. But yeah, 'cause yeah, I, I've,
10:26
I've just slept, slept in red manga because that's no pretty
10:32
easy and accessible for me to do on my phone or my tablet no
10:35
matter where I'm at. And yeah, and, and, and I picked
10:40
up a couple of indie games earlier today that I'm kind of
10:43
interested in diving into because I saw, what's his name,
10:47
Ariel Knight, the the developer behind we never yelled, which is
10:54
really cool runner type of game. He had made a post about like
11:02
like 8 or so games he picked up on on PSN for like 30 bucks
11:07
collectively. And you know, he made it just
11:10
post about like, you know, people talking about they can't
11:13
ain't nothing worth playing or whatever.
11:15
He's like, man, I got all this cool stuff for them for 30
11:18
bucks. And it's like, well, people
11:19
don't really, they don't look towards indie games and stuff,
11:23
whatever that often. And so, yeah, so it was a couple
11:27
of things that he, I don't know that I was, Oh yeah, I was going
11:29
to get that anyways. And when I saw, oh, OK, it's on
11:33
sale even cheaper than the last time I looked.
11:35
And then I even found a couple of a couple of other things.
11:38
So just a couple of things I just wanted to shout out.
11:41
Like I said, I haven't even played these, but just something
11:43
that hopefully if they're good enough, I'll probably talk about
11:46
in a future episode. So of course I just got a shout
11:50
out Cuphead me and Vash are still playing through Cuphead
11:55
Co-op mode and stuff, still having fun getting our butts
11:58
kicked butts. We have been triumphant one step
12:02
at a time. We've knocked off several bosses
12:05
since I originally talked about it about like a month or so ago.
12:08
So that that has been very awesome and very joyful.
12:12
The other thing we've been enjoying too is the the weekly
12:16
Astrobot speed running levels that they've been putting out.
12:20
Today's Thursday, so I haven't looked at the new one yet, but
12:24
that's been like a very fun and awesome treat to look forward to
12:28
every week. This this new astrobot level
12:32
just sitting there waiting for us.
12:35
And then something I do want to put on your radar self.
12:37
So a handful of things have come out in the last couple of weeks
12:42
because like Silent Hill to new Dragon Ball Sparking 0 and
12:47
metaphoric fantasio now metaphor.
12:49
I told you all before that, no, that's the new game from the
12:51
Persona people. So if you're interested in that,
12:54
there's a pretty meaty demo out for that.
13:00
And what, Black Ops 6, Call of Duty Black Ops 6 just came out.
13:05
And if you're on Xbox and you got Game Pass, that's on Game
13:08
Pass because my wife has been playing it since it came out
13:12
last week or whatever. She she's been like chipping
13:14
away at the campaign and then her her old crew been reuniting.
13:20
I'm going back into the multiplayer and stuff.
13:22
So, so yes. So my wife has been having tons
13:25
of fun with the Black Ops 6 because it is on game pass.
13:29
So something maybe, you know, put on your radar because, you
13:33
know, she, when I, I've mentioned this before, but when
13:36
I first met my wife 10 years ago, she was hardcore, super
13:40
heavy into Call of Duty. But, you know, just over the
13:43
years, you know, she eventually went more towards Apex Legends
13:48
and stuff, whatever. So she hadn't really played at
13:50
Call of Duty in at least a few years.
13:52
And so, so, yeah, so this was the perfect storm of, hey, it is
13:58
now on Game Pass. So we ain't got to shout out the
14:01
extra 70 bucks whatever, just to try it out.
14:04
Because there's been things like she's been curious about it, but
14:08
not wanting to pay that full amount, especially because she
14:12
has a Xbox Series S, which is digital only.
14:14
Because at least if we got the disk, we might be able to find a
14:18
cheaper sale at some point in time and then maybe even sell it
14:21
back with her. But it's like no digital, hey,
14:23
once you commit, you got it or whatever.
14:26
But like I said, she got it off of Game Pass.
14:28
And so she's been really enjoying that.
14:33
And then what was the other thing?
14:35
Dragon Age The Vanguard came out today seeing some mixed reviews
14:39
and stuff on it. But if you're interested in it,
14:43
that's out now. Oh and for Monster Hunter fans,
14:51
there is a a demo out right now for for Monster Hunter wild.
14:57
It's the new Monster Hunter game coming out.
14:58
I think it's coming out in at the end of February 2025.
15:02
So they got a they got a free beta right now.
15:06
I know it's like if you have PlayStation Plus, but I think
15:08
it's open to everybody now. So yeah.
15:12
So check that out. I downloaded it and I made me a
15:14
very awesome, very awesome looking character and see if I
15:17
can pull her up. OK, those y'all watching the
15:21
video version? This is my creative character
15:25
that I made on on Monster Hunter Wilds.
15:29
Shout out to the character creator made made me a a a
15:34
monster hunting Batty waifu. But she she she she looked very,
15:41
very, very beautiful. But I named her Faye and I named
15:46
the what is it this Palico cat thing Coco after we have a pet
15:51
cat named Coco. But but yeah, so but now I think
15:58
they so they had I believe it's the the intro of the game,
16:01
whatever. And the intro is pretty slick.
16:03
Whatever. Like the way like they like, I
16:05
love like the seamless transitions whenever, whenever a
16:12
game is is getting you into, into the, the action and stuff.
16:23
But but like, like the actual, like the actual game play and
16:27
fighting, whatever. I probably just got to like put
16:30
more time into it to get used to like the flow of it or whatever.
16:32
Because like, I know like Monster Hunter is kind of like a
16:36
acquired taste or whatever type of thing.
16:39
But man, I was like, man, I really just want to be like
16:41
hacking and slashing and stuff, whatever.
16:43
But it it, it's like a whole different type of control scheme
16:48
that I'm just not too familiar with and stuff.
16:53
So, but, but like, I still want to at least like shout it out,
16:56
put it on y'all's radar. You know, those are all that
17:00
that are, you know, that might be more established Monster
17:03
Hunter fans and stuff, whatever. So just so that y'all are aware
17:05
that that that's out there. If if y'all wanted to, to give
17:11
that a shot. And so last couple just like
17:15
gaming things. I just want to just mention real
17:17
quick because I said I just wanted to mention like a couple
17:20
of things that I picked up. So the three indie games I
17:26
picked up, one was called A Minute Trigger Witch and Timothy
17:33
and the Mysterious Forest. So hopefully I'm gonna get to
17:38
try those out soon and maybe I'll be reporting back in the in
17:44
the coming weeks and stuff next time I get to record and stuff,
17:47
whatever. So, but but yeah, so that that
17:51
that's it as far as gaming stuff for there, like I said, just
17:55
wanted to put that stuff on y'all's on y'all's radar and
17:59
stuff for, you know, just as a as a gentle reminder.
18:04
So yeah, so like I said, I haven't watched any anime, so I
18:08
don't have any updates on anime stuff to to report on.
18:11
But TV show watching, I will say just shout out to the Penguin.
18:17
Like we got a we got, I think they said two more episodes left
18:22
of this season and it has been very, very, very good, very
18:27
good. And so I look forward to seeing
18:29
maybe how they lead up or set up stuff for for the Batman second
18:36
movie or whatever, however they might name it or whatever.
18:41
I want to go back and watch Agatha all along because I heard
18:45
that was actually really solid. So I want to go and watch that.
18:49
I know that the Dune TV series is about to start soon.
18:54
And I think it's a is it? I think Silo season 2 is also
18:59
starting in November. So it's a handful of like, like
19:02
live action, like TV show stuff, whatever that I want to check
19:06
out soon. But yeah, so that, that that's
19:11
all that's on my radar. Oh, Speaking of Disney and
19:13
stuff, whatever they had put up there like a teaser trailer
19:17
thing, whatever, showing stuff like first clips of like the new
19:21
Daredevil show, Iron Heart show, what if season 3 and a few other
19:31
things, whatever so that they look kind of cool things like a
19:33
like a Wakanda kind of animated series or whatever.
19:39
But yeah, so lots of stuff to to to to look forward to in the
19:44
coming future. So all right, so moving on for
19:48
there. I kind of want to just touch on
19:51
some kind of like spooky theme stuff, which will this will also
19:55
tie into the manga stuff as well.
19:59
Because I've mentioned before your boy, I don't really do much
20:03
with horror and spooky stuff. Whatever too much.
20:07
But, you know, I, I, I like a good thriller or I might enjoy
20:10
stuff that might be at least like, you know, kind of like,
20:13
like. Light horror type of stuff,
20:18
whatever. So, but you know, I kind of
20:20
found myself checking out a handful of things that are kind
20:26
of a horror related or horror tangent tangent, I guess you
20:32
would say whatever or at least just kind of just like maybe
20:35
just like good vibe stuff for this time of year.
20:39
So one of them I want to just shout out and I already talked
20:42
about it before, but just got to show it some love again.
20:47
OK, so welcome to demon school aroma.
20:52
It's just kind of one of like the first things that I, that
20:54
I've, that I've watched recently that kind of fit this like
21:01
horror vibe or just like, just like the spooky vibe, whatever.
21:05
Because obviously it deals with this kid getting adopted by a
21:12
demon and then living as a human in the demon world and stuff,
21:15
and all the adventures and stuff that he goes on.
21:19
So like I, I, I sung his praises a while back, but I just had to
21:22
circle back to it because something, and this goes back to
21:28
what I was talking about earlier with like keeping things simple
21:32
and also kind of like enjoying things at your own pace.
21:36
Because there is such a influx of video games and movies and TV
21:41
shows and anime and just general life stuff, whatever we want to
21:45
do and experience and see whatever that it gets
21:49
overwhelming to try to keep up with everything.
21:53
And so a lot of times it's like I've heard about something or
21:56
whatever, but I'll put it in my back pocket till later.
21:58
And that's what a rumor was for me to where I've been kind of
22:03
interested in this series for a while from a distance, but I
22:07
don't know, it was just like like like a month or two ago
22:09
when I started watching it. It was kind of just like the
22:13
right time and the show that I needed at that moment in life
22:19
because it it is light hearted, but it also, you know, it has
22:25
like some some intense action and slightly darker moments here
22:30
and there. But overall, though it it is
22:35
fun. It is just a fun and chill watch
22:38
because between the amazing character that is Aroma and his
22:45
supporting cast members. Because I think I might have
22:47
mentioned this before about how it reminds me a little bit of
22:53
the vibes I got from, you know, from My Hero Academia, just with
22:57
Deku and Class 1A and all the supporting characters and
23:00
teachers and stuff. Whatever.
23:02
Kind of a similar vibe in which I think if you like My Hero, you
23:06
probably will like a rumor, like I said, just because of those
23:10
kind of like tangential similarities and stuff.
23:13
So, but by a rumor, this was kind of like the right show at
23:18
the right time for me. Like I said at the time it was
23:22
three seasons with like 20 plus episodes a piece, whatever.
23:27
So so I watched like 60 something episodes or whatever
23:30
over the course of like a like a month or whatever.
23:32
But but yeah, so welcome to demon school.
23:34
Aroma Cone is one that I recommend.
23:39
So yeah, so just a great, fun, awesome time.
23:44
Like I said, one that I highly recommend that y'all check out.
23:51
So from there I think I'm gonna go to you know what, let's go
23:57
ahead and talk about this one next.
24:01
OK, so this is kind of like going to some manga and stuff.
24:04
Whatever. So a horror related manga that I
24:10
read, and I think I'm going to shout it out when it was first
24:14
announced, but I just read it like a week or so ago.
24:16
I've read it since the last time I recorded and that is Resenter
24:21
by Gigi Murakami. Now Lord my kids just got back.
24:28
I think they're ready to go trick or treating with their
24:30
great grandmother. So apologies for all the
24:32
interruptions because I'm pretty sure more going to be coming as
24:34
I'm hearing the pitter patter footsteps coming towards my
24:37
door. But by I saw Resenter like I
24:40
said from Gigi Murakami. So she is a black comic artist
24:47
who I don't, I don't know if, if I can't remember if me and her
24:51
got to speak directly when I saw her, but but I just got to be in
24:59
her orbit, I guess I should say at a convention.
25:04
I think that might have been two years ago, I believe.
25:10
And so she she does fantastic artwork and stuff.
25:14
But of course, you know, with the being horror stuff,
25:16
whatever. I didn't really dive too deep
25:18
into it 'cause I'm like, man, I don't really do horror, but I do
25:21
appreciate just from a distance the beauty of the artwork and
25:25
stuff. So, so yeah.
25:27
So Resenter is a series that she did a one shot for for Viz.
25:32
And so basically if it does well enough in Viz, then it gets a
25:36
chance to get get published as with a full serialization and
25:42
stuff. And so basically the kind of
25:45
like setup and theme of Resenter, I guess I kind of
25:50
agree. Like like a little bit of the
25:51
blur bomb. In a world where rippers help
25:54
the recently dead seek vengeance, 1 Ripper will
25:57
discover a fate even worse than death.
26:01
And so basically when a person dies in this world, they are
26:07
greeted by a Ripper and the Ripper basically presents them
26:10
with three options. It is either it is basically
26:13
like 1. You just accept that you died
26:17
and pass on two You seek vengeance in which the Ripper
26:26
will go and get revenge on the person that killed you.
26:30
But until that happens, you were basically stuck in basically
26:34
limbo. You don't go to heaven or hell,
26:37
you're just thinking like the in between limbo or whatever.
26:41
And then the third option is you become a Ripper yourself and
26:45
help others basically doing what she is doing, what the main
26:48
character is doing. And so that was a very
26:52
interesting setup and premise. And just even just like some of
26:58
like the things that get set up in it to where you know, you
27:02
know, the main character, she'll get assigned a person or
27:07
whatever. Oh, actually hold on.
27:11
Them getting stuff mixed up. Give me one second.
27:14
OK, Sorry, I had to get like a brief refresher because like I
27:17
said, yeah, I am so tired and my mind is all over the place.
27:22
But anywho, one of the things I loved about this one was just
27:27
basically just the the internal structure struggle that our MC
27:35
Jackie kind of just like goes through with some of the
27:38
situations that she's put in when it's like, OK, 'cause like
27:41
example, OK, She, you know, the person chooses to give revenge
27:46
for their death or whatever. But then it's like along the
27:49
way, you know, it's kind of like questioning the path of
27:53
vengeance and different things like that.
27:56
As far as like, OK, well, you find the killer and then you
28:00
learn the circumstance of the person that might have killed
28:03
the person that hired you to, you know, get revenge or
28:06
whatever. And then sometimes it kind of
28:08
puts Jackie in these awkward positions where I was like,
28:12
well, her job is to get revenge because this person chose to get
28:16
revenge or whatever. But then it's like getting more
28:18
context and background for what led to the person's death or
28:24
whatever can be kind of screwed up, whatever.
28:26
And it's like, man, like, OK, like like this was an accident
28:29
or this shouldn't have happened. But at the end of the day is
28:32
like, well, used to get a job to do.
28:34
And so just send like those type of questions posed as well as
28:40
kind of like trying to find out more about Jackie herself and
28:45
learned, you know, some origins and background as far as like
28:49
how did she become a Ripper and all the things of that nature
28:52
and stuff. So, so yeah.
28:54
So shout out to Resenter, shout out to Gigi Murakami.
28:58
Go check it out. It is free to read on Viz both
29:02
on the website or the app Free. Go check it out.
29:05
Go show Gigi some love. And also I think I believe on
29:10
her YouTube channel, she did like a behind the scenes thing
29:15
talking about the process and stuff.
29:17
Whatever kind of this was, this was not a overnight process
29:21
getting to work with Viz and stuff.
29:22
So to make sure to go check that out as well.
29:25
So next thing I want to shout out, let me see, let me see, let
29:32
me go through this list. OK, I think I'm gonna do this
29:35
one next. OK, so the Next up on my list is
29:40
a manhole volume 1. So manhole by Tessia suit suit.
29:51
This one is published by I believe it's the publication is
29:55
Connor. So this was a very, very
30:00
interesting read. So this is another one and the
30:03
kind of like, what is this one? Kind of like a biological horror
30:09
type of a series where basically you have this parasitic
30:16
infection that's kind of in a way in a little bit kind of
30:20
reminds me a little bit of a not all the way, but some vibes of
30:27
like Last of Us to where it was like a small situation got out
30:33
of hand very quickly. And so basically the setup of
30:39
this follows. Basically it kind of opens up
30:43
with justice naked dude popping up out of a manhole cover in the
30:47
middle of town and then bumping into a random civilian coughing
30:54
up blood on him. Whatever.
30:55
The guy freaks out, you know, bashes this dude's head in and
30:59
then detectives, these two detectives get involved or
31:04
trying to solve the what what was initially thought of, you
31:09
know, just like a murder or whatever into what turns to like
31:14
a parasite biological potential pandemic thing on the horizon.
31:21
And I this is kind of kind of like the level of horror and
31:27
thriller type of series. I don't mind just because like
31:32
one of the things that I enjoy about reading this is just
31:37
sometimes I like, you know, we kind of get information that the
31:42
main characters don't know or whatever.
31:45
Or you kind of say, OK, well, the detectives are over here
31:49
trying to figure stuff out, but then you see what's happening
31:52
out in the world and like how fast this parasite came rapidly,
32:00
you know, grow whatever because like, like certain things might
32:03
happen at the beginning before it revealed that the that the
32:08
civilian they got coughed on whatever was getting sick.
32:11
And then, you know, he's with his girl, you know, having some
32:15
adult time or whatever. And so now, you know, because
32:20
they want to get freaky or whatever.
32:21
And now it's spread to her. And yeah, so it, it, it, it's
32:26
just like this domino effect, but you know, the stuff doesn't
32:28
happen immediately. Whatever.
32:31
It takes at least like a day or so for it to cycle through and
32:35
to show signs and all that stuff, whatever.
32:38
And so, yeah. So it it was very interesting
32:43
read as well as kind of a basically and also kind of like
32:50
you also start start to get information about how this all
32:55
started, like what was the initial setup thing for getting
33:02
the wheels turning on this situation and stuff.
33:04
So, but, but yeah, so Manhole was a very, very, very
33:09
interesting read. OK, so this next one, I am very
33:15
excited to talk about Leviathan by Shiro Kroy, also published by
33:23
Connor. So Leviathan is a manga that I
33:28
read maybe, maybe a year or two ago.
33:33
This was long before he got licensed and picked up whatever
33:36
'cause I, I can't remember you, you know, I, I follow so many
33:41
cool people that put me on to new manga and stuff, whatever.
33:47
And I think more than like, I think I maybe saw like a image
33:50
of Leviathan mixed in with some other stuff, right?
33:53
And I was like, oh, what is that?
33:55
And so, yeah, and so I, I was very happy when I saw earlier
33:59
this year that this officially got license and stuff, whatever.
34:03
So because, and I've got to mention this.
34:04
So manhole, that's going to be a short series.
34:07
There's only three volumes long. Same thing with Leviathan, 3
34:11
volumes long. Now Leviathan, I've already read
34:14
it. I read it online, like I said
34:16
years ago, whatever, from start to finish, fantastic, fantastic
34:20
start to finish, whatever. So, so we have volume 1 out now.
34:24
So the basic basically the setup for this is you have, so it's,
34:30
it's a sci-fi kind of like horror 3 sci-fi horror thriller
34:36
type of thing. So you basically have this crew
34:41
that goes around space and they basically scavenge and salvage,
34:47
you know, abandoned spaceships or space stations and stuff,
34:50
whatever like that. So they come across this old
34:54
ship called the Leviathan. And 1st off I got to say like,
34:59
like the, the, the art of this series looks so good.
35:03
Like that's the thing that caught my attention from like
35:06
the panels and stuff I saw of it years ago.
35:08
And I was like, oh, what is that?
35:10
And then like when I actually read it.
35:11
And then I, it just came out of stores this week.
35:15
But last week when I went to Barnes and nobles, shout out to
35:18
them. They had this Ant manhole
35:23
already out on shelves or whatever.
35:24
So I was there to pick up Leviathan and like just like
35:27
flip through the pages or whatever and just like see that
35:29
beautiful art working person. But but yeah, so if it follows
35:32
this group of guys that scavenge ships or whatever, so they come
35:38
across this big ship called the Leviathan and they find this, I
35:43
believe it's like a diary or something that basically was
35:47
like detailing what happened. Alright, so yeah, so the the the
35:53
cool thing I loved about this series reading this is that it
35:58
basically is like a a dual story test.
36:02
Like I said, like like they find this diary and it was of a it
36:05
was of a of a middle of a middle school student named Kozma.
36:10
And so basically his class was on a school trip, whatever to
36:14
Earth. And then basically tragedy
36:18
strikes where something hits the ship and it's basically just
36:22
like a fight for survival. And as you read through it or
36:27
whatever, you start to discover that there is a basically like a
36:35
cryogenic pod that has one person in it.
36:39
And so as you're reading the story, so you're getting the
36:41
perspective of the looters reading this, this, this diary
36:47
as they're going through the ship, whatever.
36:50
And then you're also getting flashback story of what happened
36:56
and, and bits and pieces, of course, like what happened from
36:59
the storytellers perspective, from the kid who wrote the diary
37:04
or whatever. And so it is like such a
37:08
thrilling read because like I said, like like like you're
37:11
following these looters as they're going through this, you
37:14
know, destroyed ship, while also kind of like getting this
37:18
parallel flashback of these students or whatever.
37:22
And just seeing basically just like how quickly crap hits the
37:27
fan and things turn violent and turn into a fight for survival.
37:31
And then in the build up of OK, who is the person that survived
37:37
in the end? So yeah, so Leviathan, super
37:40
awesome. Definitely worth checking out.
37:44
So yeah, so Leviathan, like I'm so happy to see that this one
37:48
that this one got a physical release.
37:52
All right, so Next up and just a little update on Snowball Earth
37:57
volume three. Man, this series continues to be
38:04
so good, so good. So I'm not going to get too deep
38:07
into whatever because obviously this is volume three over
38:09
whatever, but if you want 0 spoilers, skip ahead to the next
38:14
manga. But by so Snowball Earth pretty
38:17
much picks up where things left off at the end of volume 2 with
38:21
this this group of the the the light of herd coming to attack
38:28
the school and stuff. And so pretty much this one from
38:31
Derner start to finish was just straight action.
38:36
As we see, you know, Ted Suo trying to take on these
38:43
different Lord, what are they called the space Kaiju and
38:48
stuff. But you know, now having to deal
38:50
with these class of ones that have special abilities and
38:55
stuff, whatever. And they're and they're, what
38:59
are they called Tamers? I think they're called Tamers.
39:05
I'm gonna call them Tamers. But yeah, so, but All in all, I
39:09
said it, it, it was a very cool read.
39:12
And I said kind of like getting to see these people fighting
39:18
with their basically their Kaiji partners and using their
39:22
different freaking abilities and stuff, whatever.
39:24
So it it was, it was super fun. It was a super fun read and once
39:29
again, I hope that Snowball Earth gets put on the viz app
39:36
sometime soon the same way like they did with the still of the
39:41
celestial shadow, which I need to catch up on that soon or
39:44
whatever. So because because they just had
39:46
a new volume of that come out. But but yeah, still of the
39:50
celestial shadows on there and lots of some other recent new
39:53
series too. So, so, yeah, so shout out to
39:57
Snowball Earth. Go go check it out.
39:59
It it is a fun read. And and they are not afraid to
40:02
kill characters off. I'll just say that 'cause you
40:07
know which, which I kind of expected just from, you know,
40:09
even like the bit I've read with the harsh nature of the world
40:13
and stuff in those first two volumes, but now they were
40:16
getting like human on human, like direct.
40:20
Combat and stuff whatever it ain't no oh, Oh no, I got hurt
40:25
and Bruce like Nah, you got obliterated.
40:27
You got turned to ashes. I saw the ashes crumbling on the
40:31
on the panel, but yeah, so shout out to to snowball earth three.
40:38
OK, so Next up is a Blade and Bastard, the manga adaptation.
40:44
So this series has a very interesting collection of people
40:48
working on it. So the story of Blade and
40:52
Bastard is being done by the same Arthur who did Goblin
40:59
Slayer. And then the character art, the
41:02
character illustrator is the character illustrator who does
41:07
Overlord. So yeah, so you got the people
41:11
behind Goblin Slater, Goblin Slay, Goblin Slayer and Overlord
41:17
teaming up on this series. So the basic OK, so so the setup
41:22
of this, which I think there there's also anime already
41:26
announced for it as well. So that would be pretty dope if
41:28
they if they can be knocked out. So I will stay up front like
41:34
violence and brutality wise, same level you get in Goblin
41:38
Slayer or whatever. But there so far there hasn't
41:42
been any like crazy assault stuff like with garbage Slayer
41:49
episode one we had no craziness like that or whatever.
41:53
But we do get limbs and decapitations and stuff like
41:57
that or whatever. So, so, yeah.
41:59
So the. So the situation of this
42:01
already, the synopsis of this. So deep in the depths of the
42:04
dungeon, a man spends his day scouring the treacherous floors
42:09
for bodies of dead adventurers. His name is Aramis, and he has
42:13
no memory of the life he lived before he was resurrected from a
42:17
corpse. The living keep their distance
42:19
from the cold. Salaman Aramis consorts
42:24
primarily with the dead. That is, until he meets Garbage.
42:27
Yes, there is a little girl named Garbage, a feral young
42:32
source woman who is the sole survivor of a massacre party.
42:36
With Garbage by his side, Aramis ventures farther, searching the
42:41
dungeon for clues to his past while avoiding the inevitability
42:46
of a permanent ashen demise. So.
42:49
Yeah, So, yeah, just from that premise alone or whatever, you
42:54
can kind of see how this can get brutal.
42:55
So, so yeah. So obviously with the artists
42:59
and stuff that are working on it, design, character designs,
43:03
the art in general look beautiful.
43:06
This is published by the Empress, forgot to mention that.
43:10
But this is one that was really solid.
43:13
Because like you mentioned, you know, you have a main character
43:17
who was resurrected, but he has no memory of how long he was
43:22
dead or anything like that, or where he was before this
43:26
whatever or how he ended up in this place.
43:29
So you have that angle of mystery, whatever with the
43:32
story. And then you have this young
43:35
girl who is the sole survivor of this party, who is very
43:39
proficient with the blade. She is not afraid to slice and
43:43
dice people and stuff as a yeah. So it's kind of a fun dynamic of
43:50
these two mysterious characters adventuring together because he,
43:55
Aramis pretty much just came across her or whatever because
44:00
she was being kept held captive as a slave or whatever.
44:03
They just met. You just use her to just go out
44:05
and do The Dirty work with the heck kept a leash on her or
44:07
whatever. But he freed her and things
44:10
happened to her, to her, her holders and and so she just
44:15
started just following him around or whatever.
44:16
So but yeah, so bland bastard. Pretty pretty solid first volume
44:22
and we'll definitely be interested in seeing more of
44:27
this regardless if I read it or if if the anime ends up looking
44:31
good. So we'll we'll see.
44:34
All right so a slight tone shift but still with the spooky vibes.
44:40
The next one is Otaku vampires love by volume one.
44:44
This one is published by viz media and the series is written
44:48
by Julietta Suzuki. OK, so before we listen to this,
44:54
so the author of this also did a series of some of y'all might
44:58
know from back in the day called Kami Sama kiss.
45:02
So same author doing this and so this one was such a fine, sweet,
45:12
wholesome with with a little bit of, you know, edginess to it in
45:16
the background limit in the background, basically.
45:19
So you have this vampire named Hina Aricado.
45:25
She's a vampire in the modern age who she doesn't like
45:32
drinking blood directly from people.
45:34
She drinks from a blood bag or whatever.
45:36
So you know, her dad doesn't like it or whatever.
45:38
Like no, it it tastes better when you get it, you know,
45:41
intimate with the person and from their neck.
45:44
And then she's like, you know, dad, that's gross, blah, blah,
45:46
blah, saying it. So so she's a shut in for many
45:54
years or whatever in her room. And during those 30 years of
45:58
being a shut in, she let me just read the synopsis.
46:05
Hina Avocado is a modern vampire who drinks blood from bags
46:08
instead of from humans. But she's also a complete shut
46:11
in who hasn't left the house in 30 years.
46:14
In an effort to reach her, Hina's dad does something that
46:17
changes her life. He gives her a DVD of the
46:20
Vampire Cross anime. And so jumping off from there,
46:25
so her dad gives this, gives her this anime DVD, she falls in
46:29
love with the series, becomes a super fan, becomes an otaku, and
46:32
she ends up moving to Japan to live out her otaku dreams.
46:37
Whatever. And so she ends up meeting her
46:43
next door neighbor who looks identical to the main character
46:48
of this of the anime series that she loves whatever, but he's
46:52
kind of a butthole sometimes. Whatever, at least on the
46:54
exterior. And so they end up forming a fun
47:00
friendship, whatever where you know, at least starting off, you
47:04
know, he doesn't know that she's a vampire.
47:06
She's just some weird neighbor girl who is too obsessed with
47:09
this anime stuff. Whatever.
47:11
But just throughout the volume, whatever, you just kind of just
47:13
see their see their friendship and stuff start to grow.
47:17
And you also get to see there are more vampires and stuff.
47:22
They kind of get introduced some of them that are right under our
47:25
noses the whole time, whatever. And so that kind of creates a
47:28
very fun dynamic while reading it of of now, it puts in the
47:36
back of your mind like, OK, who else might we encounter that is
47:42
secretly a vampire and that has been getting close to her
47:46
neighbor because they also or they are wanting to, you know,
47:51
take his blood and turn him into a vampire and all this stuff.
47:54
Whatever. So, so yeah, so on the surface
47:57
level, it is just like a cute fun series.
48:00
But there are some moments where things kind of get a little bit
48:03
more intense. Nothing super crazy, nothing
48:06
different, nothing like any of the things like I talked about
48:09
like with manhole and and blade and bastard or nothing crazy
48:14
like that. But there are some turn up
48:16
moments where, you know, Hina taps into her vampire lineage,
48:23
so to say. And also Speaking of which, it
48:26
leads to like some very, very goofy moments of like a mild
48:31
one. I'll spoil.
48:32
There's a moment where there were these two and some of some
48:35
of his friends are at a amusement park, whatever.
48:40
And somebody or like, so another person is a vampire and they
48:45
discover or they think that she is trying to get close to him,
48:50
whatever. And so when they're up on this
48:52
super High Roller coaster ride, they shove her off hoping to
48:56
kill her, but she just lands on the grounds like, oops, I fell,
49:01
you know. And so everyone like, ma'am, are
49:03
you OK? You fell off of this freaking
49:05
roller coaster. And so there are moments like
49:08
that where somebody tries to do something to her or whatever or
49:13
to the guy and she kind of, you know, her being a freaking
49:16
vampire just create these like comedic moments throughout and
49:21
stuff. So, but, but, but All in all, or
49:23
toku otaku vampires loved by and shout out to people like Laura a
49:29
Grace and some other people who read this and spoke highly of
49:34
it. Because honestly, you know, I
49:36
don't really meet read too many romance series or whatever.
49:41
But I know I've been getting more into different romance and
49:44
different things like that or whatever over like the last
49:46
year, especially since I've been on the podcast, I've been
49:49
opening up my palette and stuff and different things.
49:52
And so this is definitely one that I was like, you know what,
49:55
I have access to read it. I'm going to check it out and
49:57
read it or whatever. And it was a very, very pleasant
50:00
surprise that I'm glad that I gave a a very honest shot.
50:04
So I highly recommend that that y'all do the same.
50:08
So so yeah. So shout out to Taku vampires
50:11
love bite. This is definitely one that I
50:13
can see in a couple of years. If it gets an anime, it's going
50:17
to be a fan favorite hit with people.
50:21
So so yes, I think I think that might be it for the manga I read
50:29
for the October manga I read. Let me double check my list.
50:33
OK, yeah, so that that that was all of the like like the newer
50:36
manga I've read. So I'm in the show talking about
50:40
a Kanye Banachi, just just like a quick shot.
50:42
I ain't going to go super in depth into it or whatever.
50:45
So but so a Kanye this is one that I have been eager to, but
50:51
it goes back to what I said earlier, waiting for the right
50:54
time to to to dive into something.
51:00
So because y'all know, I've talked about it before on
51:04
previous episodes and stuff about how much I loved this
51:09
series when it first came out or whatever.
51:11
But you know it, it just kind of just like went to the back
51:14
burner a little bit and I let some chapters build up or hey, I
51:17
let over a year's worth of chapters build up because I was
51:20
about 75. Yeah, here, yeah, I was 75
51:24
chapters behind. So can I think I had stopped
51:28
around like the 60s. And so by the time I caught up,
51:32
I caught up I'm over last weekend and then read the most
51:37
recent chapter, which was 131. So I read from like chapter 60
51:40
something to chapter like one 31132.
51:43
So it was a beautiful, beautiful, emotional roller
51:48
coaster of chapters. And I'm just going to kind of
51:52
just like flip through, just like the author and the artist.
51:58
They are just always so fantastic with these freaking
52:04
volume covers and stuff or these these chapter covers and stuff.
52:08
But read it through these. And then there's there was like
52:12
one thing from like recent chapters.
52:15
I like Molly got sport on, which kind of sucks, you know, because
52:18
it's like, OK, I was kind of just waiting for that moment to
52:21
happen or whatever. I was still surprised when it
52:23
happened, but I still kind of like and I and I guess I'll just
52:26
say, OK, I might be open to spoilers for anything between
52:30
chapter 60 something to 131. And I guess I'll say just for
52:37
context for anybody that might be might still be listening on
52:41
this part or before I get into spoilers or whatever, that might
52:43
be like, OK, I enjoy some of the other manga that I just talked
52:47
about that I read recently. Whatever, like, you know, a Taco
52:49
vampire or Leviathan, whatever. OK, what what is this a kind of
52:54
Banachi? So this series basically follows
52:58
a young girl who is trying to be a rock ago artist, I guess is
53:04
the best way I can say it. And it's basically just like a a
53:09
form of like solo storytelling, so to speak to where it's just
53:13
like just a person on stage with maybe one small prop, whatever,
53:18
like a fan or something, whatever.
53:21
And they tell a story by themselves.
53:24
And so sometimes, you know, has like multiple characters,
53:26
whatever. So the setup for this series is
53:29
that the main character, Kanye, if you're watching a video
53:31
version, she is the young lady with the black hair, with the
53:35
pink tips, whatever. Basically, her father was a rock
53:41
ago artist and he was going up for a promotion to the next rank
53:48
and everybody in his class or whatever all got failed and
53:53
kicked out of the organization or whatever.
53:56
And so she basically went into it as like a path of revenge to
54:02
show like, no, my dad was amazing and the way he does
54:06
things, his art was great or whatever and stuff.
54:10
So and so yeah, so that's like the setup.
54:13
So now I'll get inside the current stuff.
54:14
Whatever. So reading through these
54:16
chapters, man, was was so good and I love and I think that this
54:24
is a series that does for me benefit from a bulk read.
54:32
I don't know. This isn't one that I don't
54:34
think can be truly appreciated for myself in a week to week
54:39
format at least. Like for like a long stretch of
54:41
time. I can do maybe a week to week
54:43
for maybe like a handful of weeks or whatever, but like I
54:46
can't do week to week all year round or whatever.
54:48
And this, this 75 chapter plus read was perfect example of
54:56
proving that point for me. Whatever.
54:58
But because just kind of getting to see like all the
55:00
performances, all the drama and stuff and the ever expanding
55:06
cast of characters and how everybody is kind of like
55:10
finding their own approach to the art form and things of that
55:17
nature and stuff. So but yeah, so it it reading
55:20
through these chapters and stuff, man, and kind of getting
55:28
more back story into her father, who her father was beyond just
55:33
him as a father. And that was a part of the story
55:37
that she had to kind of like, learn and, you know, try to, you
55:43
know, embrace because, OK, well, I've only known him really.
55:46
It's just my dad. I don't know him as a person.
55:50
And not that in a bad way or whatever, but it's just like for
55:53
her to truly grow in her art or whatever, she needs to learn
55:58
more about, you know, her father and you know, and more context
56:03
for the situation that learned that led to her, led to her
56:09
father and his team getting kicked out.
56:11
And just man, like these newer characters that got introduced
56:16
like Cho Cho, he was so freaking cool, man.
56:20
Just like his introduction of him being like in like a
56:24
suitcase, whatever he pops out on it because he's such a famous
56:27
performer that sometimes he has to sneak into the arena or
56:31
whatever. He always does in like different
56:33
creative ways or whatever, but shout out to the Kanye Halloween
56:39
cover from last year. But but yeah, and just like
56:43
seeing like his performance and stuff, whatever was super dope
56:48
how he kind of does his stuff based around these dice.
56:52
And yeah, man, it it it. I feel like I'm just rambling
56:56
along, but going through these chapters and seeing a Kanye
57:05
continuing to grow and to hone her craft and to get better at
57:11
her performances and stuff and, and finding her own flavor and
57:19
way of expressing her art form and stuff.
57:22
Whatever it it, it, it was just like, it, it was just amazing
57:27
that that is like the best way I can say it.
57:29
And this is a series that I don't know how I I would like to
57:35
think that it would translate well over to anime.
57:40
But because I thought they could do do some very I feel like they
57:44
could do some very fun things with this and that anime,
57:49
whatever, especially with the performers telling these stories
57:54
or whatever, with like different art styles, whatever.
57:57
I think if done right, it could be fantastic as an anime, but it
58:02
could be easily, you know, botched and and mishandled.
58:06
But but yeah. And so kind of getting to the
58:12
more recent stuff. So, you know, a con has been
58:15
doing good. And and another thing I love
58:17
about this is and I talked about talked about this before,
58:20
because this was something that I loved about Kingdom when I
58:24
read it years ago. Whatever, I'm I'm hundreds of
58:26
churches behind on Kingdom. But one of the things I loved
58:29
about Kingdom and the main character Shin is the realistic
58:34
passage of time with the story to where, OK, you have a big
58:38
battle, you have a big arc or whatever.
58:41
And then there's a cool down period where OK, the characters
58:43
go home and you know, they have some downtime, their training
58:47
and stuff, whatever, living life.
58:49
And then it's OK time to go back out on a new expedition or
58:52
another war or whatever. And it's happening over the
58:56
course of time. So you're realistically seeing
58:59
the character growing up and them getting stronger stuff
59:02
makes sense. Because I've thought ever
59:04
before, like as much as I love One Piece, whatever it is kind
59:08
of like a super big suspension of disbelief with how much stuff
59:13
Luffy and the crew have done with this such a short amount of
59:16
time. Because like, oh, everything
59:18
that happened on dress Rosa, there was like 100 plus
59:20
chapters. Same thing with the wino and
59:22
100. OK, I'll say with dress Rosa,
59:25
all that happened in in pretty much like a day and a half, you
59:29
know, at least wino that was kind of like over like some days
59:33
and weeks, whatever. But you get my point.
59:36
And so Akane has done the same things where like when the
59:40
series first began, she was finishing high school or
59:45
whatever. And so now at this point of the
59:48
story, whatever, I think she's about to turn 20.
59:50
So it's been, you know, almost two years in in universe or
59:55
whatever. And it makes sense for how she
59:58
has grown as a performer in her work, Whatever.
1:00:03
And I love that about this series.
1:00:04
Whatever. And I love how they they don't
1:00:08
make a big deal about it, whatever, but they are just kind
1:00:09
of mentioned in passing, whatever.
1:00:10
It's like, OK, yeah, it's been, you know, a couple of weeks.
1:00:15
Or a few days since their last performance or whatever.
1:00:18
And they kind of give like some like mile markers along the way
1:00:21
of like, OK, hey, we're training or we're studying for so and
1:00:26
so's big promotion performance in March where there's OK, was
1:00:30
November now. So it's OK.
1:00:32
That's, you know, 5-6 months away, five months away,
1:00:34
whatever. And so you get this progression
1:00:37
of time and stuff. So sorry.
1:00:40
So that was like an awesome aspect.
1:00:41
I want to just point out about about a Kanye, but like I said,
1:00:45
like the the continuing expanse of the cast of characters.
1:00:52
I I I just love everybody. I I love all the characters and
1:00:59
how they are all playing their part and especially like like
1:01:04
the older cast of characters, whatever kind of helping her
1:01:07
gain more insight into her father in the background of
1:01:11
everything. Whatever it's, it's, it's just
1:01:15
too good. And so it kind of leads us to
1:01:17
the build up of all this stuff with the current situation where
1:01:21
she was kind of preparing to basically she just got taught
1:01:27
this kind of like this, like almost forbidden, but kind of
1:01:32
like legendary story or whatever from basically her master's
1:01:39
master that was passed down or whatever.
1:01:44
But in the midst of that or whatever, while they were
1:01:46
studying and working out or whatever, her Master has
1:01:50
basically like like like a like a version of like a heart
1:01:53
attack, so to speak. But I saw her, her Master
1:01:59
basically had AI can't remember if if it was fully a heart
1:02:04
attack or what, but he collapsed at the house and now he is in
1:02:09
the hospital. And pretty much like things like
1:02:12
went from zero to 100 super fast to where eshow basically they
1:02:21
made the decision to to disband their school or whatever.
1:02:28
And then each of each of that master's students, I can't
1:02:33
remember his name. OK.
1:02:36
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Master Shiguma.
1:02:38
So pretty much they made a decision.
1:02:40
He show that all of his students, whatever they they
1:02:44
they're going to disband his school.
1:02:47
And then all of his students would be dispersed upon the
1:02:51
other remaining masters or whatever.
1:02:53
And that Kanye would go under Isho himself.
1:02:59
And so at that moment when, when that moment happened or or when
1:03:06
that that moment or that when that was spoken, it kind of gave
1:03:11
me vibes a little bit. Obviously nowhere near the same
1:03:14
situation or whatever, but like similar vibes of like Thor Finn
1:03:21
having to live and train under Asclad That that that is how
1:03:27
that that is how that that situation felt to me with that
1:03:34
or whatever. So and so things kind of the
1:03:38
last chapter I read kind of just left off with we're getting
1:03:43
itself flashback of a of a Shigema and eshow coming up and
1:03:49
learning about, you know, their master.
1:03:51
They're coming up, whatever. And kind of like the origins of
1:03:54
this feud and everything that's going on that potentially led to
1:03:59
her father getting exiled and all this stuff.
1:04:02
Whatever. And another thing that I enjoyed
1:04:05
throughout these chapters or whatever, you know, like I said,
1:04:07
like meeting other mentors, whatever other masters, like
1:04:13
meeting the guys that like came up with her dad and stuff.
1:04:18
That was a super cool to see, which I think it was this cover.
1:04:23
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:04:26
These guys. And then her father, of course,
1:04:30
coming back into the picture because he had been overseas
1:04:33
working or whatever, or out of the country, wherever he was.
1:04:36
And so now he's back in town, you know, he's back home and he
1:04:42
got to see her perform in person for the first time and stuff.
1:04:46
So. But.
1:04:47
But yeah, man, Kanye is fantastic.
1:04:51
And like I said, this was just the perfect storm, the perfect
1:04:55
time, like I say, because I read this during that insane, crazy
1:05:00
weekend I had the other week. And like I said, since I didn't
1:05:06
watch much any anime whatever for like the last week or two,
1:05:11
whatever, this kind of fit in perfectly to where I could just
1:05:15
kind of just like read some chapters here and there between
1:05:18
all the moving around and and stuff, whatever I had to do So.
1:05:23
But yeah, so shout out to Connie Banashi.
1:05:25
I'm super happy to be caught up and I'm caught up at the right
1:05:28
time. Like I said, I kind of just wish
1:05:31
I didn't get that mouse spoiler about something happened to
1:05:35
Shigema and that she was going to go under Esha or whatever.
1:05:39
But you know, aside from that, the rest of the 75 chapters was
1:05:44
fantastic, man fantastic. So highly recommend.
1:05:48
But but yeah, so I think with that, I think I am done.
1:05:54
Let me see. Yeah, yeah.
1:05:59
Talked about all the manga and stuff I wanted to and gave some
1:06:02
shout outs to gaming stuff, whatever.
1:06:04
And yeah, so with that, I'm out. Just a little over an hour.
1:06:09
So bad, not bad, but. But I hope all of y'all out
1:06:14
there are doing well, staying safe.
1:06:17
Y'all will probably hear this after Halloween's over but I
1:06:21
hope if you went out and went trick or treating I hope you had
1:06:24
fun and you were safe and stuff. So.
1:06:28
And yeah so with that being said I'm supposed to go try to chill
1:06:34
if I get back into craziness or whatever so.
1:06:37
But but as always, thank you so much for watching or listening.
1:06:42
Y'all can find me everywhere at that needs to talk.
1:06:46
And as always, I got ideas and stuff, cooking or whatever, it's
1:06:49
just waiting for me having the right space and capacity to
1:06:53
properly try to execute on a lot of these things.
1:06:56
Whatever. So.
1:06:57
But I always appreciate y'all for rocking and rolling with
1:07:00
your boy throughout everything. And so with that being said, as
1:07:05
I always say, treat yourself to something nice.
1:07:08
Read some manga, watch some anime, TV shows and movies, play
1:07:12
some video games and of course, live your best life.
1:07:14
And with that, I am out. Happy Halloween, end of spooky
1:07:19
season and as I'm rocking my my favorite Benny Maru Fire Force
1:07:24
City. And with that I am out.
1:07:28
Y'all have an awesome day and rest of your week and I'll catch
1:07:30
