We're covering maybe the defacto fanservice series this time around, as Ikkitousen aka Battle Vixens is our latest manga. Did we unearth yet another fragment of Mike's illicit past? And was it as trash as pretty much every other series he's dragged us kicking and screaming through? Yes. But maybe not for the reason you'd expect...

We had so much fun the last time we did a manga on marriage, so why not do it again! We discuss 365 Days To The Wedding, a romCON manga (this joke gets funnier every time I make it) where our two not lovebirds set up a fake marriage to avoid being transferred to Siberia! Were we in on it with them, or dobbing this series in the first chance we got?

We're discussing one of the biggest webtoons of the moment this time, as we analyse Onmiscient Reader's Viewpoint! As Earth and all of humanity become caught up in the world's largest Twitch stream survival game, will this tale of not one but two protagonists win us over? Or just make us stumble over identifying them through the episode...?

Before isekai, there was moeblob! And we're tackling the king of the genre, K-On, this time on the show. There's music, there's comedy and there's fluffy fun galore in this 4koma manga... well, unless you're a certain member of our trio...

Summer's here, so time to watch some anime and pack on the pounds! And what better manga to do that with than Plus-Sized Elf which gets it adaptation this season? Were we feasting in this sort of reverse isekai, or running for the treadmill to get away from it all?

A whole term of trash is in the books, which can only mean it's time for the Trashtacular Forunament Arc! Of the 24 series we've covered this year, which series will be crowned Not Actually Trash?
