Fun's over, we're back to abject misery, as we cover Ijousha no Ai, aka An Abnormal Person's Love. And by abnormal, we mean yandere. And by yandere, we don't mean happy go lucky streaming antics or Yuno Gasai facial expressions, we mean oh god help us. Did we find joy in the darkness, or just yet more despair?

Happy Pokémon Day! Finally the stars have aligned and we get to talk about the #1 franchise of all time, Pocket Monsters! We discuss all three volumes of the Red Green Blue arc of Pokémon Adventures aka Special, alongside plenty of games chat and memories as we reflect on the greatest of 'em all, and why it was Sean's destiny to be a Pokémaniac.

You want another romcom for our Valentines special? It's like we read your mind! Which is exactly the theme of the manga this time, a 4koma where our hapless heroine can hear everyone's thoughts, including those of our very horny, very into her lead. Did we love it? Or did National Singles Awareness Day win out once again.

Back to back webtoons? Well I never! This time it's Revenge of the Baskerville Bloodhound, a series that has nothing really to do with Sherlock Holmes or bloodhounds. But it is a, and stop me if you've heard this before, power trip fantasy series with art by Redice Studio! Was it another regression for this well worn genre, or could this count itself among the Solo Leveling's of the world?

Christmas is almost here, and so is the second half of our Secret Santa Specials! Sean and Mike are competing for Phil's affections to win a chance to screw the other over in Trashtacular 5 in 2025, and this time, Mike's gone for the jugular, picking a manga adaptation of critically acclaimed game The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past! Will Phil love this as much as he loves Zelda? Or was it best left on the SNES?

The phrase "do you need a hand" has never been more twisted as we tackle Don't Mind Me, Sensei! Give Yourself A Hand! A lovely manga about drawing manga. Y'know, like iconic series Look Back and Bakuman. Except this time, with more masturbation. What will those mangakas think of next...
