    Episode 20: Baku-Man I Wish I was Playing Magic (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Blade of the Moon Princess joins the ranks of the manga we’ve actually read to completion (now numbering two). And the climax was… pretty good, actually. But was it really about the destination, or, as Cyrus the Poet says, is it the climb? Also, we still really like Bakuman.

    Episode 19: Shut Up, Dave-kun! (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    This week continues our trend of willingness to discuss anything OTHER than Blade of the Moon Princess. It’s not that we hate it, but we ARE still quite enjoying Bakuman, and Tim Curry just died, and… One Piece? What are you doing here?

    Episode 18: Talk no Jutsu (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    After what feels like a lengthy hiatus, we’re back to continue our journey through Bakuman and Blade of the Moon Princess. Both stories reveal big plot swerves, but which of those twists lands with a bang and which with a thud?

    Fill-in Issue: The Great Heist Draft (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    It’s moving day for Aldo, so John and Stephen fill in the schedule with a fun little game: robbery! We draft expert criminals, petty crooks, and the most obnoxious characters from movies, TV, and comics to see who can rob a fictional bank. Crime is bad. Don’t crime.

    Episode 17: Cup of the Tainted World (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    The Blade of the Moon Princess develops its world. The stakes rise, the cast expands, and the boys of the Make Mine Manga podcast find themselves questioning: do we even LIKE these people? Meanwhile, Bakuman continues to be good, in case you were wondering.
