Were we so in love with it we’d hunt down all other fans? Did we just find this fine? Or did our now two streamers lament yet another disappointing streaming manga? What do you think, dear show notes reader, what do you think. ~ Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Read Trash Manga With My Friends And Actually Most Of Them Were Trash But Some Of Them Weren’t! Or The Trash Manga Friends Podcast, for short. Each fortnight, our trio of Sean, Mike and Phil read the first two volumes (or equivalent) of a manga, webtoon, manhua or manhwa, analysing every little detail to discuss what’s good, what’s bad, and what’s trash. And believe us, half a decade in, there’s a lot of trash to discuss. So come listen to our book club slash neverending existential nightmare! ~ Follow us on social media!
