Kagurabachi is the manga for anyone who's read Jujutsu Kaisen and wished it was good. It's a cinematic pastiche. A rush of styles and influences exploding onto the page by super-talented newcomer Takeru Hokazono that all just barely manages to hang together, like a dirt bike humming along at full throttle, as long as you never stop to think about it.

This may not be news to you, but one of Alex's secret missions throughout the history of Mangaroos has been to get Mark and Jayson to read a BL manga. Well, it's finally happened! And all three of us have nothing but good things to say about the experience. The Summer Hikaru Died isn't only a BL story, though. It's also an extremely effective tale of eldritch horror and creeping dread. What would you do if your best friend came back, and you knew they were dead, but you still loved them enough to keep hanging out with them anyway? Get in touch with us!Email: [email protected] else: @mangaroos

Coming to you live from the Saizeriya in the heart of beautiful downtown Gunma! We're talking about one of the behemoths of Japanese pop culture, Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken), and yes we make all the requisite "you wa shock" jokes and "a-ta-ta-ta-ta" sound effects - don't worry. Also discussed: post-apocalypse bondage gear, Mad Max and its availability in 1980s Japan, and more surprising Alex origin story lore.

Magi is an endearing shonen adventure story with a charming little protagonist. It's got magical creatures, dungeon exploration straight out of a classic JRPG, and best-in-class reaction shots. It is also, somewhat inexplicably, the second flute-centric manga we've covered for the show. How did that happen? Get in touch with us!Email: [email protected] else: @mangaroos

With all the classic sports manga series that have come and gone over the years, it's a wonder that it's taken this long for a really great hockey series to hit the ice. And since Mangaroos is one-third Canadian, we're legally obligated to talk about it! We're giving Dogsred, by Satoru Noda, a five minute major penalty... for stealing our hearts! There's no crazier sport than hockey, so who better to tell the tale of a rogue former figure skater turned curious hockey-liker than Satoru Noda, creator of the uniquely crazy Golden Kamuy?Join us as we try and understand whether hockey is in fact a real sport, and if it is, whether it can work in manga form. Also, stay tuned to the end to hear us flaunt our expansive K-pop knowledge.Go Leafs!!Get in touch with us!Email: [email protected] else: @mangaroos
