Manga Mavericks EP. 173: Oumagadoki Zoo

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! Enjoy!
