In this episode, we, and our very own Tucker Whatley discuss Hirohiko Araki’s Shonen Jump manga Cool Shock B.T. Araki is best known for creating JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure so it’s exciting to see where he started from as this was his first major serialized work. Cool Shock B.T. is the tale of B.T. a mysterious boy who uses his wits to go on capers (including stealing a dinosaur skull) with his trusty sidekick Koichi.

In this episode we, and our guest Hassan from The Nerd Alternative discuss Naoshi Komi's (creator of Nisekoi) Shonen Jump manga Double Arts. In a world stricken by a disease that’s killed over a billion people, protagonists Elraine and Kiri have to navigate the harsh world to try and find a cure. Beyond the dangers of the disease, they also have to survive attacks from the evil organization Gazelle, who’s trying to prevent a cure for the disease. They have nothing but their wits, dance moves, and superpowers Kiri has that aren’t well explained because this series ends really abruptly.
