Covering classics like CLAMP’s “Cardcaptor Sakura” and Yuu Watase’s “Fushigi Yuugi” to newer favorites like Kazune Kawahara’s “My Love Story!!” and Hiro Fujiwara’s “Maid Sama!” Shojo & Tell host Ashley McDonnell discusses one series per episode with a rotating shojo superfan. We're recreating all those impassioned rants you'd have with your friends about your favorite series, just in podcast form. Shojo [or shoujo] manga: Japanese comics made for young women. A breath of fresh air after reading over 100 volumes of “One Piece.” The underappreciated sibling of all those same-y never-ending shonen titles.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-19T18:19:29.671320+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shojo-tell-a-manga-podcast-853461"},"episode":{"title":"Legal Drug (with Asher Sofman)","slug":"legal-drug-with-asher-sofman","published_at":"2024-03-27T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shojo-tell-a-manga-podcast-853461/legal-drug-with-asher-sofman","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shojo-tell-a-manga-podcast-853461","url":"http://www.shojoandtell.com","audio_url":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/audio/706ddcd0-783e-4f14-a97e-525bf411d090/episodes/44d2dc11-0be8-48d9-b3bd-4751f7b981e1/audio/2f2ff63c-da50-4817-a803-93c826677bf3/default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=Iz9u2z_M","summary":"Covers all three volumes of LEGAL DRUG by Clamp Get ready to get high. And horny. And gay. And paid. Okay, to be honest, we're not sure what the drug is, or that it's legal, but hey, we're here to talk about it anyway. Shojo & Tell host Ashley and her husband Asher continue their Clamp journey with LEGAL DRUG, which is technically complete, in the same way that QQ SWEEPER is complete (which is to say: Not at all, because there's a sequel, DRUG & DROP, and it's been on hiatus for forever). None of the central mysteries of LEGAL DRUG is solved within the confines of the volumes. Well, whatever. We're all just here for Kazahaya and Rikuo being in provocative poses, right? The biggest question of the episode is: Is this queerbaiting? Get ready to hear our thoughts about Clamp's fiftymillionth JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE fanfic (this one is basically the crappier version of XXXHOLIC).","meta_description":"Covers all three volumes of LEGAL DRUG by Clamp Get ready to get high.
