#Lum Squad #06: "Ryunosuke 1/2" Nov 03, 2021

Show notes

Hello darlings! Welcome back to #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! Rising up like a tidal wave and roaring like a dragon, Ryuunosuke Fujinami has finally arrived! At long last, english manga fans finally get to meet the last and arguably most important member of Urusei Yatsura's main cast - a manly girl who yearns to be feminine whose character and stories bear no small resemblance to Rumiko Takahashi's later work, Ranma 1/2! We discuss Ryuunosuke's significance as an early gender non-conforming female character in Rumiko Takahashi's work, as well as the trans-feminine and queer subtext in her characterization and storylines. We debate both the positive and negatives of Ryuunosuke as queer representation and how she fares against queer rep and subtext in Takahashi's later works. We also dig into what makes her a compelling character and why Takahashi seemed particularly fond of her, to the point she overtakes an entire volume of the series immediately upon her introduction and becomes the third most storied character in the series from there on out! Her stories give us a lot of feels, so listen to us gush about what makes her such a special character! But this volume doesn't just feature Ryuunosuke! We've also got the introduction of Ten's zealous firefighting mom, return appearances by Kurama and Benten, Onsen-Mark's last-ditch attempt at revenge, and so much more! So listen to us ride the rocky waves of this eclectic volume and sink in all this classic Urusei Yatsura weirdness!

Manga Mavericks EP. 179: Dororo Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

On this episode of Manga Mavericks, Colton & Lum are joined by John from the MercuryFalcon Youtube channel, as well as Karleen & Malia from Coherent Cats, to discuss Osamu Tezuka's original Dororo manga! A story about a wandering samurai named Hyakkimaru and his rambunctious thief sidekick, Dororo, as they hunt down and slay all kinds of evil spirits and yokai in order for Hyakkimaru to regain all 48 of his missing body parts (and also hunt for treasure, I guess...). We're excited to finally cover our first Tezuka manga as we discuss how feel about Dororo compared to some of his other works, as well as how we feel about Tezuka's handling of Hyakkimaru's physical disabilities and Dororo's gender identity.

Manga Mavericks EP. 177: "LGBTQ Manga" Oct 17, 2021

Show notes

Queer manga should be read and celebrated all year round, and thanks to the growing efforts of publishers to bring more great LGBTQ titles over west, it’s easier than ever to find works that speak to you! We’ve taken pride in covering many great LGBTQ manga on our show over the years, and for the longest time I’ve wanted to do a broader topic discussion centered around queer manga. So I decided to take our exploration through the world of queer manga in steps and start from a personal place; what queer manga means to us as queer readers, and our evolving histories with them. Joining me for this discussion are some wonderful guests who’ve specialized in exploring media through a queer lens, examing representation in media and spotlighting queer media in their work - Trevor & Alex from the Queering the Guilotine podcast and Karleen from the blog CoherentCats! We discuss the works that we feel helped us discover ourselves, best represent the queer community, and are promising signs of progress in the ways queer characters and stories are told. We also discuss tropes we’re not fond of, the give-and-take of finding value in imperfect or problematic works, and underserved areas of representation we want to see more of. We had a gay old time recording this podcast, and we hope you’ll join us over the rainbow!

Manga Mavericks EP. 175: My Hero Academia: SMASH!! Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

On this episode of Manga Mavericks, we invite on Kendra from the My Hero Academia Podcast, as well as Luke from Hero Notes and the Weird Science Manga & Anime Podcast to discuss My Hero Academia: SMASH!! A 4 panel gag comedy spin off of My Hero Academia where almost anything can happen! Like Shigaraki and the League of Villains kidnaping Bakugo to play board games, or Iida playing Gacha games in order to teach his fellow classmates the horrors of gambling addiction, or even introducing a character with a quirk called Isekai that causes the world to stay stuck in time forever (yes, that actually happens). We discuss this mixed bag of gags and goofs and how its a good avenue to give some characters more screen time, but also how some strips and jokes just absolutely do not land or are just plain gross. Is this the worst thing we've ever read on Manga Mavericks!? Tune in and find out!

Manga Mavericks EP. 174: Barrage Sep 20, 2021

Show notes

On this episode of Manga Mavericks, we invite on Chris & Nik from Weekly Manga Recap for our next Jump Stop podcast where we discuss Kohei Horikoshi's second ever Weekly Shonen Jump manga, Barrage (or Sensei no Baruji)! A sci-fi adventure take on the classic Prince and the Pauper type of story about an orphan boy named Barrage, who works for whatever little food he can give to his family, until one night where he runs into and witnesses the death of the prince of the kingdom and ends up being mistaken for said prince, which leads him into taking on his responsibilities as peacemaker going from village to village to protect those who need it most! We discuss how we feel about the series in particular as a transitionary point in Horikohi's career and what he improves on from Oumagadoki Zoo, but also what aspects he will later eventually execute better with My Hero Academia afterwards.

Manga Mavericks EP. 173: Oumagadoki Zoo Sep 14, 2021

Show notes

On this episode of Manga Mavericks, not only do we have another Jump Stop series to talk about, but we also kick off the start of our Kohei Horikoshi month by talking about his first series to run in Weekly Shonen Jump, Oumagadoki Zoo! A story about clumsy high school girl, Aoi Hana, and her attempt to better herself by applying for a part time job as a zookeeper, but she ends up biting more then she can chew as the zoo turns out to be run by a crazy, magical rabbit man cursed with the task of turning his zoo into the most popular one in the world in order to become human again. We once again have returning guests such as cancelled Shonen Jump comic expert, Maxy Barnard, and manga letterer, Ace Christman, as well as new guest and artist extraordinaire, Sai, to discuss why Oumagadoki Zoo is a fun read despite how Horikoshi still has a long way to go as a mangaka until his eventual rise to success with My Hero Academia!
