In this episode, we're starting our readthrough of Black Paradox! Also, we're so sorry Moon News in colossal this week, things like this happen when we don't record for three weeks and Taylor Swift is mothering behind the scenes. Anyway, back to Black Paradox. Four strangers meet up on a website that connects people who want to commit suicide so they can pass with someone else. And that's how we meet our four new characters: Taburo, who wants to pass because he's haunted by his doppelgänger. Piitan, who wants to pass because his colleagues built a robot replica of him that they prefer over him. Barrachi, who wants to pass because her mirror self wills her death and because of a birthmark over her face. And lastly, Maruso, who wants to pass because she fears something terrible will happen to her. After going to the middle of the woods with her new companions, Maruso notices that something is off with at least two of her new friends. Off enough to delay the suicide pact and try to figure out what's going on. But will the new friends catch on to her before she can? *** Podcast Patreon: patreon.com/sailormanga Podcast Twitter & Instagram: @sailormangapod Podcast Email: [email protected]
