Thanks to Spangar for introducing comic books it was only a matter of time before Danny was allowed to break his silence on the manga genre. He goes through his history and introduction to the media and why his love for the Japanese product is a little more conflicting than his other loves. He then goes through his history with the review material and why it was so important to the person he was at the time and why he can't wait to challenge himself with a return to the product. Not only an engaging look at the genre, but also a conversation on art and chapter structure, Danny doesn't let his nostalgia blind him but also he can praise the mangaka for the talent he once misunderstood. A nice introspective at something that means something totally different in a genre he has long wanted to explore.
