  What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
• 0:08
  talk. I'm your host, Robert.
• 0:09
  And today, today, we're talking about thali daughter of the
• 0:15
  moon. Now this series is published by
• 0:21
  Oni press and the story and art is done by.
• 0:26
  I believe I'm pronouncing this right Soria?
• 0:30
  Who is a French Laotian Arthur? Which is very dope.
• 0:35
  So the cover of this is kind of what initially got my attention.
• 0:44
  When I was just out at the store one day, a couple weeks ago and
• 0:48
  I was like, that's different and plus the orientation of it with
• 0:55
  it, the spine, being on the opposite side, I was.
• 0:58
  Okay, what's going on? I open it up and it was actual
• 1:03
  You know, manga and I founded the do is by French monk akka,
• 1:09
  which is very dope, kind of reminds me of another little Jam
• 1:13
  that I love. Who is also from a from a French
• 1:17
  author named radiant. Now, speaking of radiant, the
• 1:24
  something about the look and style of the characters and
• 1:27
  stuff kind of reminds me of maybe like a mix of radiant and
• 1:31
  ranking of Kings Now, this series follows, this young lady
• 1:39
  in the middle, tolly who she is Betsy from this mysterious.
• 1:45
  Or she is of a descendant of these mysterious people known as
• 1:51
  Summoners who basically have magic abilities.
• 1:57
  But a lot of the world kind of Shun them.
• 2:04
  And a lot of them were kind of hunted down by a basic kind of
• 2:06
  like witches, so to speak. And so she is kind of been in
• 2:11
  hiding by this king who adopted her at a young age.
• 2:17
  And so he's being be kind of just hiding her, keeping her
• 2:20
  hidden away, but of course, News gets out or rumors start to
• 2:27
  swirl of who she might be or whatever or that somebody of her
• 2:33
  bloodline might be within the council.
• 2:35
  And so on a hunt in suits as a pretty much this first volume
• 2:39
  just kind of gets us introduce to our I'll call them kind of
• 2:43
  like ragtag group of Travelers for our party.
• 2:49
  So first off we have a Her guardian Alan whoops with the
• 2:55
  look kind of like a mop hair and then these other two mysterious
• 3:02
  characters. Mr. Pavel and young.
• 3:06
  What was his name? Lay low now?
• 3:11
  This group of characters I love when, you know you kind of
• 3:15
  encounter some characters along your journey and some of them
• 3:19
  might have some mysterious or questionable backgrounds, like
• 3:23
  mr. Powell, you know, we kind of
• 3:25
  find it out. He used to be part of some big
• 3:29
  famous Guild back in the day. Young lady though, we don't
• 3:33
  really know like what his deal is but he has like a couple of
• 3:36
  interesting things. So I first of all he is super
• 3:39
  awesome and super dope with His sword skills and stuff.
• 3:44
  But for some reason, he is not able to sleep at night, he
• 3:47
  sleeps during the day, but not at night.
• 3:49
  And so we kind of get a hints that we might learn about that
• 3:52
  little bit later, but you're just like some, like, really
• 3:55
  interesting cast of characters as so.
• 3:59
  Yeah. So like I said, Tolley her and
• 4:02
  her protector Allen or kind of on the run from from basically
• 4:09
  these people from the palace. That better trying to hunt her
• 4:14
  down for for whatever reasons. And so yeah so that's kind of
• 4:20
  like kind of like the basic Crux of the story is just these
• 4:24
  characters trying to escape. While thali along her journey is
• 4:28
  trying to figure out who she is, what is up with her people, her
• 4:33
  lineage and stuff like that. Because so sometimes very
• 4:37
  interesting the never really crossed my mind but so With her
• 4:42
  abilities. We learn that, you know, they
• 4:47
  use blood to summon basically like a Camaros in different
• 4:52
  creatures and stuff. And so traditionally, you know,
• 4:58
  when the young ladies will be cool, come of age, they would
• 5:02
  kind of like, get to go into like this, like secluded forest
• 5:05
  or whatever the kind of like train where there's nobody that
• 5:08
  they get hurt or whatever, but because she's been kept in the
• 5:10
  council It's kind of hard to hide all the random damages
• 5:15
  around the castle and all this different stuff, whatever.
• 5:17
  But something just very interesting, which it makes me
• 5:23
  kind of thing back to other series than might have blood
• 5:25
  involved with stuff is and per part in this part.
• 5:30
  But she mentions because because during like, it's like, like,
• 5:36
  when they're kind of, they kind of meet this group of people,
• 5:41
  Ooh, kind of basically in secret worship, the summoner's
• 5:46
  basically, just like kind of keep their legacy alive through
• 5:51
  folktales and different things like that.
• 5:53
  And so they end up kind of like talking to her about this
• 5:57
  different stuff whatever. And so as the stuff is going on,
• 6:00
  tolly mentions, like yes. So you know how our thing is is
• 6:06
  that you know, we use our blood to summon well.
• 6:10
  She's a woman or a young lady and when that time of month
• 6:16
  comes in these two problems it leads to unexpected.
• 6:21
  Summons are so I was like Never would have crossed my mind that.
• 6:28
  That would be a thing but it makes sense.
• 6:31
  It legit makes sense, you know, like I said, like if you think
• 6:35
  about like the reality of, you know, People using that, as a
• 6:41
  way to summon or, whatever, or blood, benefactor whatever.
• 6:44
  Well, then it's like, oh, of course this might be a thing.
• 6:49
  So anyways, I'm not going to dive into that too much.
• 6:51
  We're blessed. Yeah, that was just, they're
• 6:52
  just like a very interesting like point of contention of hey,
• 6:57
  this is something I have no control over my body when this
• 7:01
  happens. And so I really need to get the
• 7:05
  training and figure out how to control this stuff whatever.
• 7:08
  So, But like I mentioned earlier the the art and stuff in this
• 7:14
  looks pretty cool and pretty dope like so I don't know.
• 7:18
  Like I just really like the look and style of it of how the
• 7:25
  characters in these different shots and stuff look.
• 7:28
  Oh and one other thing I'll say about this volume that I really
• 7:36
  enjoyed is I enjoy When you know that you kind of get to the, to
• 7:40
  the, to the end of a volume and it's kind of the hey learn about
• 7:44
  the author or about this series or whatever.
• 7:47
  And so the very back of the of the of the volume has a little
• 7:52
  section called the making of thali which is pretty dope.
• 7:56
  And so kind of talks about how the Arthur originally started
• 8:01
  planning for the series back in 2012, which is basically 10
• 8:06
  years ago from now while they were working on.
• 8:09
  On a different project but different things happened,
• 8:13
  whatever it was kind of cool seeing like some some early
• 8:17
  sketches from 2013 of how some of the characters and stuff
• 8:23
  looked beforehand. So they kind of like make note
• 8:25
  of my oh, this character was previously bald.
• 8:28
  He was the little boy, was a redhead and so on and so forth.
• 8:32
  So just kind of getting these kind of like behind-the-scenes
• 8:35
  stories and details of how this Arthur went on a Journey to
• 8:40
  First thinking of the idea. The different iterations kind of
• 8:44
  putting it on the shelf for many years and they coming back to it
• 8:48
  and then finally, okay. Hey making a pitch for it.
• 8:50
  And you're now here we are. I have it.
• 8:53
  I'm holding it in my hand but but but I really appreciate just
• 8:56
  like behind the scenes behind the curtain.
• 8:58
  Look at this author's journey. And one very, very, very dope
• 9:05
  thing that I liked which may pull it up.
• 9:09
  So the don't thing is that the author has a freaking twist
• 9:12
  Channel and so, okay, so towards, where's the back of the
• 9:16
  volume? He mentioned Yeah, create
• 9:21
  entirely also coincided with me starting my live streams on
• 9:25
  Twitch. Since I work at home it can be
• 9:28
  easy to lose my focus into field all alone.
• 9:31
  That's why I decided to start streaming on Twitch.
• 9:34
  And if you haven't heard of it, it's a site that allows people
• 9:36
  to live stream videos, yada yada yada.
• 9:39
  And it shows is, like, very cute imagery of just like his setup
• 9:44
  and stuff. And then, yeah, you can,
• 9:46
  literally, watch this twist Channel, where he will.
• 9:50
  Just be drawing some of his panels and stuff whatever.
• 9:53
  And so I felt like that that like this is just like a very
• 9:56
  awesome and cool way to kind of wrap up this volume to just kind
• 10:02
  of get like that. Like I said, just that behind
• 10:04
  this behind the curtain peek at the creator of this story that I
• 10:09
  enjoyed reading. This first volume of and just
• 10:11
  know, like, hey, no, he's normal.
• 10:13
  Do like the rest of us, you know, has had some struggles
• 10:17
  feels lonely as from time to time whatever but Is doing this
• 10:20
  awesome thing connecting with the community and stuff whatever
• 10:23
  while doing what they love. And so yeah.
• 10:27
  So tolly daughter of the moon is out.
• 10:30
  Now, like I said from you and from our only press almost got
• 10:34
  the wrong, from Oni press. And like I said, I definitely
• 10:39
  highly recommend it. Like I said, just something
• 10:41
  little bit different likes especially with the band from a
• 10:44
  French Laotian Arthur which is like set aside from writing it.
• 10:50
  But I haven't really got to read too many other stories from or
• 10:53
  Manga I should say that are specifically in Japan.
• 10:58
