    Episode 13 - The Ravenblack Court (ft. Interview with series creator @Adorabirb!)

    New York City. A veritable melting pot of people, living record of historical events, and... a coven of underground subway witches? Run by different gangs of birds?! The Ravenblack Court is an original Webtoon canvas series created in English by Adorabirb, comics artist and journalist, and friend of the show! With the manhwa/Webtoon industry growing, more and more original series created in English are being published by these platforms. Want to learn more about how the process works? Dive into this series with us as we discuss historically significant events, how a creator can draw inspiration for their work, and gleam insight on the Webtoon/digital comics industry with someone who has lived it! Plus, we have industry news, more recent reading recs, and a teaser at the end of the episode! Here are Adorabirb's recs: What are the Chances OMNIPRESENCE Winged --- Edited by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ademola⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Logo by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TonytoonArt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AmpRen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Hosts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Amber⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Marion⁠⁠⁠ Follow us on Twitter! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SojuManhwaPod⁠⁠

    Episode 12 - Your Throne (ft. Witlash from R/OtomeIsekai)

    What's more dangerous than a psychopathic narcissist prince with a god-complex? How about a a bodyswapping villainess and saintess duo with heavy yuri undertones? What if we mix in some Greek mythos as well? ⁠Your Throne⁠ is one of the darkest, politically rife series we've covered so far, and with us this time we have the return of our guest Wit, moderator from the ⁠R/OtomeIsekai subreddit⁠! Join us as we dive deep into one of the first Webtoons that sucked Marion down the rabbit hole of Romantasy. Though we might have to call it Tragentasy with how dark it gets... Content warning for this series: physical and emotional trauma, suicidal ideations, assassination attempts, human trafficking, manipulation, gaslighting, self-harm, torture, graphic violence and murder, severe depression, bombing, and guns. --- Edited by ⁠⁠⁠⁠Ademola⁠⁠⁠⁠ Logo by ⁠⁠⁠⁠TonytoonArt⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠AmpRen⁠⁠⁠⁠ Hosts: ⁠⁠⁠Amber⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠Marion⁠⁠ Follow us on Twitter! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SojuManhwaPod⁠⁠

    Episode 11.5 - New York Comic Con 2024

    We’re back with a special content episode! Covering our time at New York Comic Con 2024, we talk about the manhwa-centric booths, signings, panels, creators, and experiences.

    Episode 11 - Jungle Juice

    Is your shed carapace feeling especially lost and empty after the ending of My Hero Academia? Soju has you covered, as JUDER and Hyeong Eun's smash hit Webtoon, "Jungle Juice" flies onto the scene with its iridescent dragonfly wings! Together with special guest Darfox of Manga Machinations, Amber and Marion scuttle into a venomous discussion about super-powered bug-humans fighting to protect society while trying to preserving their own humanity... Actually, it wasn't *that* toxic but we couldn't help but pile on the bug puns, because it's actually quite informative about insects! Tune in with your antennae to see whether or this series could stand on its own six legs (or thousand--there *are* quite a lot of bugs in it!) --- Edited by ⁠⁠⁠Ademola⁠⁠⁠ Logo by ⁠⁠⁠TonytoonArt⁠⁠⁠ Music by ⁠⁠⁠AmpRen⁠⁠⁠ Hosts: ⁠⁠Amber⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠Marion⁠ Follow us on Twitter! ⁠⁠⁠⁠@SojuManhwaPod⁠⁠

  5. Episode 8 - What It Means To Be You

    07/30/2024

    Episode 8 - What It Means To Be You

    Content Warning: This episode and the series it covers (What It Means to Be You) goes into discussion about sensitive topics such as suicide and suicidal ideation, depression/mental illness, domestic abuse, emotional abuse, abortion/miscarriages, and alcoholism. --- This month we're joined by a new friend: Witlash, mod over at r/OtomeIsekai on Reddit! She brings us some great perspective as a veteran manhwa/webtoon reader who loves romance fantasy! A series like "What It Means To Be You" deserves a finely-toothed comb to go over every just how impactful and engaging it is. The premise? A couple discovers they swap bodies whenever one of them commits suicide. For people concerned about how the heavy subjects are handled, we do have good news. Everything is handled with the proper level of empathy and weight, with the darker events informing the emotional/psychological development of its characters--like an Inio Asano or Shuzo Oshimi manga. Join us for one of our longest convos yet as we discover the power of empathy and surviving! Edited by ⁠⁠Ademola⁠⁠ Logo by ⁠⁠TonytoonArt⁠⁠ Music by ⁠⁠AmpRen⁠⁠ Hosts: ⁠Amber⁠ and ⁠Marion⁠ Follow us on Twitter! ⁠⁠⁠⁠@SojuManhwaPod⁠⁠ --- 988 is the Suicide & Crisis Prevention Hotline. If you're struggling, please know there will always be someone around that can listen.

  6. Episode 10 - Semantic Error

    07/30/2024

    Episode 10 - Semantic Error

    It's our first BL! It might have taken 10 episodes, but I don't think it'll take 10 more for the next one! "Semantic Error" is a fun romance story about a guy who excels within rules and boundaries falling in love with the world's pettiest fusion of drama and libido. Making good on their promise to Deb Aoki from episode 3, Amber and Marion finally understand the hype behind the hit manhwa that was also adapted to live action! Read the series on Manta and preorder the physical edition by Ize Press before artist Angy comes to New York Comic Con this October! --- Edited by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ademola⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Logo by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TonytoonArt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AmpRen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Hosts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Amber⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Marion⁠⁠ Follow us on Twitter! ⁠⁠⁠⁠@SojuManhwaPod⁠⁠⁠

  7. Episode 9 - SSS-Class Revival Hunter

    05/28/2024

    Episode 9 - SSS-Class Revival Hunter

    Content Warning: This episode and the series it covers (SSS-Class Revival Hunter) goes into discussion about sensitive topics such as suicide and child starvation. --- Hunter assemble! This month we're bringing to you an action series jam-packed with some of the most emotional peaks and valleys we've ever experienced in the Returner/Tower Fantasy genre -- "SSS-Class Revival Hunter!" What starts as a typical story with a setup akin to Re:Zero ends up unraveling into a masterfully written story about self-actualization, and reining in a Jesus complex before it completely breaks our ML, Confucius Kim. By all means, there were so many things that could have gone wrong in this series, but much like "What It Means To Be You," the level of tact and emotional intelligence in the writing displays a deep understanding and empathy toward the human condition. Join Marion and Amber as they break down what made this Tapas series so special! --- Edited by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ademola⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Logo by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TonytoonArt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AmpRen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Hosts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Amber⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Marion⁠⁠ Follow us on Twitter! ⁠⁠⁠⁠@SojuManhwaPod⁠⁠⁠ --- 988 is the Suicide & Crisis Prevention Hotline.

    Episode 7 - The Adventures of Stabby McStabberson (The World After The Fall)

    It's Spring, and we are sooo back! After reading "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint," we were curious about singNsong's other work, "The World After The Fall." Did it manage to live up to expectations? Not quite, but there's still a lot to dissect about it! In this delirious episode, we have some strong feelings about storytelling and the reader experience. If you enjoyed the discussion, go ahead and give us a like or a rating, or reach out to us on socials!
