• 0:03
  What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
• 0:06
  talk, I'm your host Robert. And today today, I am taking a
• 0:11
  look at a series called marriage toxin.
• 0:16
  Now, this is a series that is still fairly new.
• 0:21
  It's not even a year old yet but it currently has 36 chapters
• 0:26
  out. Available to read for free on
• 0:33
  the Manga Plus website, as well as the Manga Plus app.
• 0:38
  So both of them are international or internationally
• 0:41
  available for free. Like I said, as of today, when
• 0:45
  I'm recording this, there are 36 chapters and I read them all
• 0:49
  today. Now, of course, I got to give a
• 0:53
  quick little. Shout out to Jim and Luke the
• 0:58
  homies. Over at the Weird Science manga
• 1:01
  podcast. Because while, you know, I have
• 1:04
  seen marriage toxin mentioned here and there around, it wasn't
• 1:10
  really until the end of last year 2022, they had did their
• 1:20
  manga of the, your episode. And I can remember it was either
• 1:23
  one of the hosts are both of the host had mesh toxin as their
• 1:27
  favorite series that they Last year and saw my, whoa.
• 1:31
  Okay, you know I like a lot of the series that they like as
• 1:35
  well. So I am I okay, maybe there's
• 1:37
  something there and so you're not kind of let it pass a little
• 1:39
  bit and so Recently this week or the knife fight.
• 1:44
  Today, when I'm recording this both gag, a from the author of
• 1:51
  Jiu-Jitsu Kaizen. And a while back, the Arthur of
• 1:54
  demonslayer both recommended this series.
• 1:58
  And so I'm like, what? Better time than as we get ready
• 2:02
  to kick off, February the month of Love different, me to jump
• 2:06
  into marriage toxins. So this series is done by the
• 2:13
  story is done by zhoumi Aku and the art is done by Mizuki Yoda.
• 2:20
  Now the Arthur, they haven't done too many things before
• 2:25
  this, they had like a couple of one shots back in 2021, but this
• 2:30
  is their first serialization. Now, the artist The artist has
• 2:37
  done a few things, most notably though they were assistants on
• 2:48
  Jujutsu Kaizen, and, and Demon Slayers well, and the past.
• 2:54
  So, yeah. So, there's a connection there
• 2:59
  and out the gay. I will immediately say that if
• 3:02
  you are a fan, Of stuff like psychomotor days like I am.
• 3:08
  Then this series is going to be for you.
• 3:10
  So this series basically follows our MC Hikaru Garrow, who is
• 3:21
  basically, he is the heir to one of the big five families in this
• 3:25
  world. He is an assassin who
• 3:28
  specializes in Poison now. Going into the series.
• 3:34
  Like I said, of course, about the name.
• 3:36
  I was okay. Something to do with a marriage
• 3:38
  and poisonous stuff, whatever, but this series was so much more
• 3:42
  than what I expected. Because it is, basically, it is
• 3:45
  a action with a little bit of comedy, with some romance
• 3:51
  sprinkled in as well, because the main Crux of this story is
• 3:55
  that our main character is try to find love.
• 4:01
  Basically, he's trying to find somebody to marry.
• 4:04
  But he does that the way, the only way he knows by, you know,
• 4:09
  doing various jobs and contracts and stuff, and then summer, a
• 4:13
  lot of the ladies that he's meeting along the way forming
• 4:16
  connections and bars and stuff with them.
• 4:18
  And so that completely caught me off guard, because the way this
• 4:23
  series kicked off. Which let me show y'all.
• 4:28
  Like those of y'all that read, Psychomotor days.
• 4:36
  Y'all know some of those those historic double-page spreads.
• 4:44
  This shot right here. For those of you watching the
• 4:46
  video of this, where he uses this freaking, like liquid to
• 4:52
  slice this bus in half. That is such a claim panel
• 4:58
  hours, like, and this was the first in the first chapter, I
• 5:01
  was like, huh? Wait, let me set up and get us
• 5:04
  some more attention. And just to show just a couple
• 5:07
  more, just a really quick panels.
• 5:09
  This beautiful one of this chick riding this shark, These crazy
• 5:15
  looking dues. Now this panel kind of gives is
• 5:18
  giving me some some Dandy Dan vibes from from some of those
• 5:23
  early panels in that series and then this panel to show off some
• 5:28
  of the brutality of this guy got hit with like there's like
• 5:31
  poison dark and I guess freaking hand melted off.
• 5:37
  So yeah. So did this series?
• 5:41
  Like I said, just immediately grabs your attention and Just
• 5:44
  let you know. Hey, we're here to play no
• 5:46
  games. We're here for some seriousness.
• 5:50
  And so like I said, along the way or I should back up and say
• 5:55
  the other kind of main character of the story to, as a character
• 5:59
  named May kinosaki who, who kind of specializes in, I think it
• 6:08
  was kind of like, specializing in marriage related stuff,
• 6:12
  whatever. Cuz they, And of alter, their
• 6:15
  appearance appearance between man and woman depending on what
• 6:21
  the situation calls for, but may is basically helping Garrow
• 6:30
  tried to find love. And so, there's also funny
• 6:34
  mamasan along the way, because this guy, he has lived his whole
• 6:38
  life more or less kind of isolated.
• 6:41
  He never went to public. He never went to the general
• 6:43
  public school or whatever. However, none of that and I
• 6:46
  believe, if I remember correctly, I think he is in his
• 6:49
  mid to late 20s. If I remember correctly, I can't
• 6:54
  find information about, but I'm pretty sure he's like, he's like
• 6:56
  he's like mid-20s or something like that.
• 7:01
  And one count, one of the other kind of like key factors with
• 7:04
  the story of why he's kind of on this search for marriage.
• 7:09
  Is that his grandmother is basically wanting the family
• 7:14
  lineage to continue and so it's just him and his younger sister
• 7:19
  as so initially you know he was like no I'm not going to do it
• 7:23
  and his sister is a calling him one day and basically is told
• 7:27
  that like okay I have your brother want to do it, then the
• 7:30
  sisters going to be forced to Do it.
• 7:32
  But the sister didn't want to live a life because the sister
• 7:36
  has a girlfriend, but she was like, you know what?
• 7:40
  If it's know if this is what needs to be done because my
• 7:44
  brother does all the work and stuff for the family.
• 7:46
  So I can at least do this much to help.
• 7:49
  And so his, the brother ghetto he doesn't want, you know, his
• 7:53
  sister to ruin her life for her happiness.
• 7:56
  So he's like, no, hey, you go be with your love, your girlfriend
• 8:00
  and all I figure it out. I'll try to find love and so
• 8:04
  that is kind of how that part of the story kicks off.
• 8:08
  And I would say this story this series.
• 8:11
  Like like I said, it has like a really good mix of freaking
• 8:14
  action and stuff. But it also has some really
• 8:18
  great heartfelt moments with these characters because early
• 8:22
  on you meet his best friend and this is kind of where I start to
• 8:28
  like open up and show you the like, okay.
• 8:31
  Him being a poison user. That's just one of a lot of
• 8:35
  stuff that's going on in this world where there's people that
• 8:37
  specialize in so many different things.
• 8:40
  One of his closest friends is a bug user who controls bugs and
• 8:45
  stuff, and he has this like really cool nor are they kind of
• 8:48
  like centipede scar, whatever kind of like or tattoo and ever
• 8:52
  going across his face or like one of like his eyes or whatever
• 8:57
  and he ends up telling him, he's like, he's like, hey, you know,
• 9:00
  I just Let you know, I found the love of my life and I'm getting
• 9:03
  married soon and so that kind of gave Garrow just a sign of like
• 9:09
  man. Okay.
• 9:11
  If if my homie this this bug dude if he can find love then
• 9:18
  maybe there's hope out there for me.
• 9:20
  Maybe there's somebody out there for me as well as so it is just
• 9:24
  like so dope along the way. You see, all these different
• 9:28
  ability users and stuff like You know, with that giving it too
• 9:32
  much water, but it's like there's like a dope Comfort
• 9:35
  touch with a water user. This person that uses sound and
• 9:41
  where things are currently in the story, they're dealing with
• 9:43
  this freaking, like a beast Kingdom with these people,
• 9:45
  controlling and have partners that are like various animals
• 9:49
  and stuff. And so it is just so freaking
• 9:52
  dope. And speaking of which I gotta
• 9:56
  show off this panel because it is just like, Just another
• 10:02
  example of just like have fun and how crazy the series is.
• 10:09
  This freaking bear wearing a black belt.
• 10:14
  That's a pretty frightening image to see.
• 10:18
  But but yeah, so along the way, like I said, just just all these
• 10:23
  various women that he meet along the way he is.
• 10:28
  You know helping them out with various situations and stuff
• 10:31
  because that's kind of like a suggestion.
• 10:33
  Because of course, no, he's super awkward likes and he is
• 10:35
  like little to no actual people and social skills.
• 10:38
  Has and stuff. So going to like a mixer and
• 10:41
  like traditional stuff to meet people.
• 10:43
  That's not going to work for him.
• 10:45
  And so they have this job posting site called indeed,
• 10:53
  which is a very funny, just like mix of the word.
• 10:55
  Indeed, they were using the number word normal world for job
• 10:59
  hunting, but to where he kind of helps over to where he finds
• 11:05
  various tasks and missions and stuff to do.
• 11:09
  And so that's kind of how he ends up going to these various
• 11:12
  missions meeting these various ladies and these various
• 11:15
  situations and then helping them out.
• 11:20
  But also along the way, discover more about himself and kind of
• 11:23
  like opening up becoming more human and stuff and just showing
• 11:27
  their know, he's not just a cold-blooded assassin and stuff
• 11:30
  like that. So but but but yeah, that this
• 11:32
  series is just super fun. Like I said it was just a a
• 11:38
  action. Packed yet heartfelt Journey
• 11:43
  along the way with this series. And like I said, it's one that I
• 11:46
  definitely had to make sure I was like, I got to put this on
• 11:49
  more people's radar because like I said it's something that's
• 11:51
  been floating around my timeline and stuff here and there.
• 11:55
  But after like I said, after that little thing earlier today,
• 11:59
  whatever and the we're science manga guys talking about it.
• 12:03
  I was like, okay All right, if if they're, if people are
• 12:07
  mentioning this in the same vein as series that I love, like I
• 12:11
  said earlier like, Sakamoto days and stuff like that.
• 12:16
  Then I'm like, okay, I need at least see for myself.
• 12:20
  What this is, like I said in one day, I read all 36 chapters and
• 12:26
  I want more. Now I got to wait every week for
• 12:29
  more chapters and stuff. But yeah.
• 12:32
  So anybody else out there that is checked out the series Let me
• 12:35
  know what y'all think. Like, say this is a very Dublin
• 12:39
  and if you haven't checked it out that heyco read it.
• 12:42
  Like I said, it's available for free, all Manga Plus and very
• 12:47
  briefly. I want to touch on just like
• 12:49
  some of the other kind of like specific situations and stuff
• 12:53
  along the way. So there's my drivers like a
• 12:55
  little bit of spoilers. Of course put like a little
• 12:57
  spoiler warning here but I won't dive too deep into stuff but so
• 13:03
  far each of the different missions and stuff that he's
• 13:05
  gone. Going on have had just like some
• 13:08
  really cool moments, like, where he went with the, the, to help
• 13:13
  the the art, Thief chick, who that I showed earlier there was
• 13:18
  freaking right in the shark which that's super dope.
• 13:20
  I want to know more about that situation.
• 13:22
  But but yeah, but just seeing that she know she had this
• 13:27
  opportunity to become the sole heir to this giant Fortune.
• 13:31
  Like this, this guy who was on his deathbed who had no other
• 13:35
  family. Nothing would ever just adopted
• 13:38
  her randomly from orphanage and left his entire Fortune to her,
• 13:43
  but she chose to free, all the art that he had the head, of
• 13:48
  course, obtained through nefarious needs.
• 13:51
  And that is how she has chose to live her life of recovering.
• 13:54
  These lost art pieces and stuff, and giving them back to the
• 13:58
  actual people and places that they belong to.
• 14:02
  So, that was a super dope situation.
• 14:05
  As same thing, when he went on the, on the camping trip way,
• 14:09
  where they encounter their the sound guy and stuff like that,
• 14:13
  just like the the Mind Games that that situation led to.
• 14:19
  But that's another one for like this young girl was kind of like
• 14:23
  next in line to take over this company like her.
• 14:25
  Aunt is sending this Assassin after her but just seeing both
• 14:30
  him and this young lady both, you know, kind of fun.
• 14:35
  And kinship in each other. But also like I said, like
• 14:39
  exploring things and I just love just the, the funniest of like
• 14:44
  how in a way. It kind of reminds me a little
• 14:47
  bit of like a coming, can't communicate where she's trying
• 14:50
  to get 100 friends and that series to wear like after each
• 14:53
  Mission and he has up getting another lady's phone number.
• 14:59
  And so, as a series goes on useless, will start to see where
• 15:02
  he went from just having. Met that he met, In the first
• 15:06
  chapter as the only friend his phone to oh, he's got to now
• 15:10
  three contacts whatever. And so that part is just been
• 15:14
  just so, so awesome to see. Just seeing his circle of
• 15:18
  friends continue to build and grow.
• 15:21
  And I also enjoy these kind of like extra little like just like
• 15:25
  quick like 12-page extra chapters that we can like every
• 15:29
  like 10 or so chapters where we kind of circled back to some of
• 15:34
  the previous Ladies that he's met with and they've gone out on
• 15:38
  little dates and stuff, you know, which we just some of the
• 15:41
