    Ep. 43 - Kagurabachi vol. 1, by Takeru Hokazono

    Kagurabachi is the manga for anyone who's read Jujutsu Kaisen and wished it was good. It's a cinematic pastiche. A rush of styles and influences exploding onto the page by super-talented newcomer Takeru Hokazono that all just barely manages to hang together, like a dirt bike humming along at full throttle, as long as you never stop to think about it.

    Ep. 42 - The Summer Hikaru Died vol. 1, by Mokumokuren

    This may not be news to you, but one of Alex's secret missions throughout the history of Mangaroos has been to get Mark and Jayson to read a BL manga. Well, it's finally happened! And all three of us have nothing but good things to say about the experience.  The Summer Hikaru Died isn't only a BL story, though. It's also an extremely effective tale of eldritch horror and creeping dread. What would you do if your best friend came back, and you knew they were dead, but you still loved them enough to keep hanging out with them anyway?  Get in touch with us!
