Trash Manga Friends

Anime tie-in time has arrived once again! And the spooks are out early this year as we tackle Dark Gathering, a supernatural horror manga about one lil' girl's quest to catch 'em all to help save her family and friends from eternal damnation. But did we need to perform an exorcism on this series as well?

Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Read Trash Manga With My Friends And Actually Most Of Them Were Trash But Some Of Them Weren't!

Or The Trash Manga Friends Podcast, for short.

Every fortnight, our trio of Sean, Mike and Phil discuss a manga, webtoon, manhua or manhwa, reviewing the first two volumes and breaking down what's good, what's bad, but mainly, what's Trash with a capital T.

Imagine taking a pill that could take you back 10 years? Not in time thankfully, who wants to relive the past decade, but back to your youthful good looks and high school banter. That's the premise of webtoon ReLife, but were our trio ready to go back to school, or happy to have left those days and this series behind?

Year 4 is here and we're kicking off with a banger - the legendary, crticially acclaimed and super successful shonen manga Fairy Tail! Will our trio love Hiro Mashima's magnum opus, or be rebuffed by its zany antics and off-the-wall comedy?

The group stages are over, it's time to whittle our remaining 15 series 1v1 until only one remains! Which will join Solo Leveling and Look Back as Not Actually Trash? And what will be thrown into the slurry pit of Trashest Manga, Friends like Minamoto's Story and Redo of Healer? All those answers and more as Trashtacular Tournament Three concludes!

It's a Year 3 climax of AAA Hollywood blockbuster scale as we tackle the all action thrill ride that is The Last Exorcist: Ender Geister! But beyond the endless film references, did we close out the year with a bang or twenty, or just morb out at what a flop this manga was?

We're delving back into the world of kinks on main for our penultimate Year 3 series, as we discuss Ore no Himekutsu wo Haitekure, or Help Me Put On My Princess Shoes, a story about cobbling, feet, and one guy's incontrollable leg fetish. Definitely legs. Honest.

So you reincarnate and wait come back it's not an isekai! Instead we're reborn on good old Earth as your favourite idol's kids, with a second shot at life and happiness. But there's lies behind those smiles, as we discuss the award-winning anime-adaptation receiving Oshi no Ko! There's no way Mike could hate this one, right?

Our annual April Fools special is back, as we turn to visual novels for fresh trash-spiration. And bug-ger me did we find one, in the form of Creature Romances: Kokonoe Kokoro, where our romance protag dumb dumb is just trying to get with his girl. His grasshopper girl. Did this VN lean into it's insanity, or somehow play it blander than bland.

Plus! Sean and Phil talk about their VN recommendations, while Mike... is also there.

We're the cult of isekainality! Which makes no sense, as our isekai manga this time takes place on a world without religion, gods or cults. Bar the religion, god and cult the series is about. But will we end up worshipping our latest anime tie-in, KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World?
