Trash Manga Friends

Sean is running the show more so than usual, as he provides his take on a classic 00s series in FLCL! But how on Earth do you adapt something so unique to manga? Is it even possible? We discuss the Fooly, the Cooly and everything inbetween!

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. Will this series pass the test? Or be the latest in a long line of failures? Listen in to find out!

Mike's taking charge this time and dragging us back two decades to a world of Linkin' Park and Evanescence when we cover the iconic manga Elfen Lied! Did its mature themes stand the test of time, or was it pure edgelord cringe widdling itself on the floor?

As surely as night follows day, does a romcom series follow an isekai one. But it's a classic, as we discuss The World God Only Knows, where one visual novel and dating sim god is tasked with translating those skills to the real world... or else! Did we enjoy this high stakes wooing, or did Mike once again get very mad at the mere concept of romantic comedy?

We're back to ol' inevitable this time, as we tackle yet another isekai manga in Kenja no Mago, aka Wise Man's Grandchild! Fantasy world? Check. Ridiculously overpowered protagonist? Check. But will it be checkmate once again for the genre, or is this actually one of the good'uns?

A long running detective manga? Yes, that's right, we're covering QED! ...what, did you think we meant something else? And boy does this redefine long, with the longest single chapter we've ever read, but was it packed full of content and goodness, or just a really, really long murder of the mind?

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?

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!
