On this episode of Manga Mavericks, it time once again to catch up on a ton of news!! Colton & Lum discuss the latest new serializations, licenses and anime news! Such stories include Togashi starting his own Twitter account to tease the latest manuscripts he’s been drawing, the now confirmed US theatrical release date for Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero and the ongoing unionization of the worker of Seven Seas!!
Note 1: Right in the middle of writing this post, we got an update from Eric letting us know that he found the manga he was looking for! For anyone who was curious, its Umisora Kaze ni Hana by Masaru Ooishi, which unfortunately isn’t out in English at the time of writing this, but maybe one day!
Note 2: We recorded this episode before it was confirmed that Hakusensha would continuing Berserk with the help of Kouji Mori and the people of Studio Gaga, but we will for sure be discussing that on our next episode!
