We and our guest Official Series’ Letterer Sabrina Heep discuss Shonen Jump manga The Comiq from the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh!

MAL Description:

Starring "an unlikely love for two," Pendulum of Love is the latest series to be serialized in the popular magazine Shoujo Jump. This serialization is also the debut of Ryota Sakamaki. Through his editor, the shy rookie manga artist receives some help in the form of complex background artwork from a mysterious person. Though the pair frequently work with one another, Ryota has never once met his assistant, leading to his curiosity about the person's identity.

Upon further investigation, Ryota learns that his background illustrator is Katsuo Baba, a prisoner convicted of the infamous "Halloween Murder"—a crime committed within the local park three years ago that his own work seems to reference. While hesitant to work with a criminal at first, Ryota quickly picks up on Katsuo's desperation, and after meeting him face-to-face, Ryota becomes determined to set him free with the power of their manga!

We're taking a small summer break so enjoy this previously Patreon-only episode on H Kamen featuring KC Green of Gunshow and Anime Club fame! We'll be back on 9/15 with our first thoughts on Get Away Matsumoto! - 100 Days Escape.

MAL Description: 

In the year 2030, the secrets of the universe have been unraveled and visitors from various planets have appeared on Earth. In order to avoid sudden contact with other world civilizations, the Earth Alliance limited the area of trade and built a huge populated island called "Dejima" in the southern part of Okinawa, Japan, bordering Taiwan.

The aliens are prohibited from stopping at ports other than Dejima, but various crimes began to occur frequently on Dejima, where different civilizations and values were mixed.

In order to protect the security of the area, the Dejima Police of the Earth Alliance, the Federation Police of the Space Alliance, and a mixed force of aliens and earthlings were established. This was the "Gundragon".

Gundragon's investigator, Sigma, stopped a runaway truck carrying smugglers. On the back of the truck, a Mumerian from a water planet, who commits suicide to protect its secret. Sigma sneaks into a tavern in search of his friends, where he finds a Mumerian and a small black hole, which is forbidden by the United Space Federation...
