New episodes drop every fortnight, where our trio of Sean, Mike and Phil read the first two volumes (or equivalent) of a manga, webtoon, manhua or manhwa, analysing every little thing to discuss what's good, what's bad, but mostly, what's trash.

It's Chriiisssstmaaaas! And this year, more than any other, we're on brand, as we discuss Sanda! No, I've not misspelt that, it's the seasonal tale of a boy called Sanda who has the power to turn into Santa Claus. Set in a world where Christmas doesn't exist anymore and the kids can do literally no wrong. All done by the Beastars mangaka. Intrigued? So were we...

We've had a time as of late, but is now when our trio finally gets on the same page? Kemono Jihen is up to the plate in this episode, a supernatural mystery shounen involving tanukis, kitsunes, vampires and more besides!
