  Hello and welcome to your PCJ Pop for the week.
• 0:11
  My name is Shauna and I'm Olivia.
• 0:13
  And this week I am gonna pop something really nerdy
• 0:16
  but that's okay 'cause that's who I am as a person.
• 0:19
  I am popping an anime that I just finished
• 0:23
  the first season of called Marriagetoxin.
• 0:26
  So Marriagetoxin, yeah, it's a very funny name.
• 0:29
  Marriagetoxin is a Japanese web manga series
• 0:32
  written by Jomiyaku and illustrated by Mizuki Yoda.
• 0:37
  It's been in Shonen Jump and on the website in the app,
• 0:41
  Shonen Jump is like very popular in Japan.
• 0:44
  It's their weekly manga series that comes out.
• 0:48
  And then I guess it's an app on a website now too,
• 0:50
  but a lot of really popular like
• 0:52
  Manga's and anime is starting Shonen Jump.
• 0:55
  So the plot of this is that this young man named
• 0:59
  Kikaru Jaro is from the poison clan
• 1:03
  of professional assassins and he really wants to get married
• 1:08
  because in order to take over the clan,
• 1:11
  the poison clan, you have to be married, you have to have a spouse.
• 1:16
  Yes, you have to be doing it.
• 1:18
  His sister is technically next in line
• 1:22
  but she can't produce an heir to the poison clan thrown
• 1:26
  because she is a lesbian.
• 1:28
  She's married to a woman.
• 1:30
  And so they were like, all right.
• 1:31
  He could produce an heir but.
• 1:33
  Yeah, she could but they need like a blood heir, I don't know.
• 1:37
  So they're like, he could do you need to produce an heir
• 1:40
  and he's like, I'm really awkward.
• 1:42
  And all I know how to do is murder people.
• 1:44
  I don't know anything about women.
• 1:46
  So he hires a marriage coach named my Kino Saki.
• 1:51
  My originally is like, can I just marry you?
• 1:57
  'Cause she's this cute little girl.
• 1:59
  My is a guy.
• 2:02
  So you watch this anime and my sounds like a woman dresses
• 2:07
  like a woman uses she/her pronouns but also says,
• 2:15
  no, I can't marry, I'm a dude.
• 2:17
  Like your sister's gay so you need to marry a woman
• 2:20
  and produce an heir and he.
• 2:24
  Clameting to.
• 2:25
  Clameting to.
• 2:26
  I'm just so happy to see her Olivia.
• 2:28
  So are you giving me the whole plot?
• 2:30
  I mean, this is like the first episode
• 2:33
  that kind of hooks you.
• 2:34
  Okay, okay.
• 2:35
  Jero meets different women because he is hiring himself
• 2:39
  out as a bodyguard to protect them.
• 2:42
  And that's what his marriage advisor says to do.
• 2:44
  Go out and meet women, right?
• 2:46
  I'll teach you how to flirt.
• 2:47
  I'll teach you how to get to know women
• 2:50
  but you can do what you do best.
• 2:51
  It's just fighting bad guys, right?
• 2:53
  So he has to go from being an assassin
• 2:56
  to being a bodyguard, all while trying to meet a bride
• 2:59
  along the way.
• 3:01
  Okay.
• 3:02
  That's fun.
• 3:02
  It's really goofy and silly and I really enjoyed it.
• 3:06
  It's got good graphics.
• 3:08
  I really ship Jero and May.
• 3:11
  Like I think they're gonna just end up together at the end
• 3:14
  'cause the anime in the manga itself is very like
• 3:18
  progressive.
• 3:19
  They don't care if someone's gay, right?
• 3:20
  But he keeps saying like, I need to find a bride.
• 3:22
  I need to find a wife.
• 3:24
  I think he's getting it.
• 3:25
  I think he's gonna end up with May.
• 3:28
  But we don't know 'cause he's meeting lots of cute girls
• 3:30
  along the way.
• 3:31
  So that is marriage talks and what do you think?
• 3:35
  You know, I think I'm gonna sit this one out
• 3:37
  but I love that you love it.
• 3:39
  If you're wondering why I'm gonna sit it out,
• 3:41
  just listen to the Olivia tries like anime
• 3:45
  for the first time episode where I was like, okay.
• 3:49
  What's going on here?
• 3:50
  But I wish that you love it.
• 3:51
  You did.
• 3:52
  You did, yeah.
• 3:53
  So if you are an anime junkie like me,
• 3:57
  I'm gonna pop marriage talks in.
• 3:59
  I don't know if there'll be a second season,
• 4:02
  but the first one's very good
• 4:03
  and there is an ongoing manga.
• 4:05
