A manga about intelligent machines replacing humans in the work force sounds like something brand new to reflect today's headlines: but what if I told you that My Name is Shingo was originally published in 1982? This week, Mat is joined by the Lord of Shojo, Georgie (aka @Mainly.Manga) to talk about a classic manga from Kazuo Umezu.

Join us as we discuss how this book played with our expectations at every turn, how young love makes you walk into walls and why you should never let two graphic designers anywhere near a book cover this beautiful

For those interested, find the interviews with Kazuo Umezu mentioned in the podcast here and here.

Thanks to Juliano Zucareli for our theme music!
