On this episode of Manga Mavericks, Colton & Lum once again go over the last months worth of news! We start off with a few depressing items such as the passing of Dubu, the artist behind Solo Leveling, as well as some updates on a few series that are currently on hiatus due to a variety of health issues caused by the general harsh workload of the manga industry. Despite that, there’s also a lot to look forward to, such as a ton of new manga licenses like always, some new upcoming anime films coming to theaters in the US and even new takes on Death Note coming up from both the creators of Stranger Things and also…The Simpsons!? All this more on this episode of the podcast! Enjoy!!
