On this episode of Manga Mavericks, its time once again (as much as we try and avoid it) for another news episode, but to spice things up, we’re joined once again by our lovable, chicken hating friend from Friendship Effort Victory, Maxy Barnard, as we discuss GANGSTA. author Kohske’s recent outcry on Twitter against scanlations of her work and how we feel about people’s responses to her tweets, as well as manga piracy in general.

Other topics and news pieces we discuss on this episode include Maxy’s excitement over new things coming from Grand Jump, the new Goku balloon being featured in this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, and the announcement of a live action Hollywood Attack on Titan movie! Enjoy!!

About The Author Colton

Colton is just your regular glasses wearing nerd residing in Saint Louis, Misery (that's a joke) who loves reading and collecting manga as a hobby and also records too many podcasts! He started off his podcasting escapades in 2013 when he created Life Lessons: The Gintama Manga Cast, which was a show dedicated to Gintama and its past English release of the manga. From there he became the co-host of shows such as the Manga Corner from Anime3000, Heavenly Kings, One Podcast Prevails and many more. Colton first discovered manga back in 2006 when he bought his first issue of Shonen Jump, and ever since then, his love and passion for manga took off from there! His favorite titles include Sket Dance, Eyeshield 21, My Hero Academia and much, much more. Colton can be found frequenting sites such as Anilist and Twitter under the handle of sniperking323.
