## Resource

We’re back in Mike’s childhood once more. But this time, after the Tokyo Underground’s and Boys Over Flowers’s, we’re guaranteed to have a banger, as we tackle the iconic Trigun. The anime might’ve been one of the pillars of Adult Swim, but how fares the original manga? Yeah, about that... ~ Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Read Trash Manga With My Friends And Actually Most Of Them Were Trash But Some Of Them Weren’t! Or The Trash Manga Friends Podcast, for short. New episodes drop every fortnight, where our trio of Sean, Mike and Phil read the first two volumes (or equivalent) of a manga, webtoon, manhua or manhwa, analysing every little thing to discuss what’s good, what’s bad, but mostly, what’s trash. Five years in, we’re just getting started, as trash never ends, and neither do we. So please, come join us and listen to our book club slash never-ending existential nightmare! ~ Follow us on social media!
