Get ready for your state sponsored census, as we dive into the first volume of How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom light novels (or, alternatively, the first two volumes of the manga). Literally, as Tom walks through the extremely large cast of the first book and the differences and omissions of the manga. In addition, Louie has finally finished Mushoku Tensei and gives his first thoughts on the final novels of that series, while they both take a few moments to talk about the (now slightly out of date) new chapters of Otr and the Flame and The Creepy and Freaky.   Follow us on Bluesky at The Mudai Manga and Book Club Podcast   Video Episodes Available on Youtube at Mudai Manga and Book Club   Email us at: MudaiMangaBookClub at Gmail.com   Main Theme: Sunrise by Meizong & Yeeflex Music provided by Argofox:Meizong & Yeeflex - Sunriseyoutu.be/-GurRvqxg3I Additional Music: Phat Phrog Studio - Echo Nexus Phat Phrog Studio -  Cyber Chill Ovani Sound - Lo-fi Water
