May 13, 2019 84: Airate (Kaguya-Sama)

All is fair in love and war, especially psychological manipulation, mind games, and peepee jokes. The brothers get all that and more with Kaguya-Sama: Love is War. Kaguya and Miyuki, the top two students at a prestigious academy and leaders of the student council have fallen for one another, but their massive egos refuse to allow them to be the first to confess to the other. Thus begins their battle to make the other wilt before them. Also featuring: Steins;Gate, One Punch Man, and Detective Pikachu.

April 22, 2019 83: Unlimited Ero-Works (Denki-gai no Honya-san)

We are the bone of our horse, or something to that effect. The brothers hang out in a comic book shop with a bunch of adorable degenerates in Denki-gai no Honya-san. Set in a doujinshi shop in fake-Akihabara, Denki-gai no Honya-san follows the everyday life of the diverse staff. From “naive” Hio-tan to the all-knowing Sommelier who can tell at a glance what special-interest literature will bring joy to your pathetic soul, there’s something for everyone at the Umanohone. Also featuring: Fairy Gone, Demon Slayer, One Punch Man 2, and the Promised Neverland.
