It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of September in Shonen Jump! This month we discuss the somewhat new "Dandadan," the completely new (and, frankly, awful) "PPPPPP," plus some recent ("Candy Flurry"), impending ("Dr. Stone"), and potential ("Red Hood?" "Neru: Way of the Martial Artist?") series endings. Join us two weeks as One Piece Club, our ongoing reread of "One Piece," continues, covering chapters 603-632, roughly the first half of the Fishman Island arc. As always you can tweet along with us with the #OnePieceClub hashtag.

Episode 74: May 2021 in Shonen Jump

It's the middle of the month, so you know what that means: time for more "One Piece Club," our ongoing catch-up of "One Piece!" Or, well, it would be, but with Zach out on paternity leave Emily and Walt doing a special episode to discuss the One Piece film Strong World. Technically not a manga, and not even based on an arc in the manga, but who cares! We talk both the good (the very good character and monster designs) and the bad (Toei's seeming disregard for the visual quality of their most prestigious properties) of this perfectly cromulent animated action flick. Zach will be back with us next month to talk chapters 525-550, covering the entire Impel Down arc and beginning the momentous Marineford arc. If you want to tweet through it with us, be sure to use the #OnePieceClub hashtag! Meanwhile, Emily and Walt will be back in a couple weeks to talk about May 2021's Shonen Jump offerings.

Episode 72: April 2021 in Shonen Jump

In this we cover chapters 501-525, finishing up the Sabaody Archipelago arc as well as the Amazon Lily arc (if you want to be picky Amazon Lily is part of Sabaody, but who cares?). Zach is going to be out for a bit, so next month Walter and Emily will be watching the One Piece film Strong World for something a little different. If you want to tweet through it with us, be sure to use the #OnePieceClub hashtag! Meanwhile, Emily and Walt will be back in a couple weeks to talk about April 2021's Shonen Jump offerings.

It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of March in Shonen Jump! For those who haven't heard yet, "My Hero Academia" is entering its final "act" (whether that means we've got a dozen more chapters left or a hundred, who knows), so we spend most of this episode talking about where things are and how we expect things to play out. Join us two weeks from now as our "One Piece" book club continues with chapters 501-525, finishing the Sabaody Archipelago arc (including the Amazon Lily "sub-arc").

It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of February in Shonen Jump! Four new series started recently: "The Elusive Spoiler," "i tell c," "Witch Watch," and "Nine Dragons' Ball Parade." Spoilers: we more or less liked all of them, with this being one of the best new batches in recent memory.
