The spooks are upon us for another year, and what could be more horrifying than kids fighting to the death in an all-out battle royale in... Battle Royale! We discuss the manga version of this household name, and how it compares to it’s famous cinematic cousin and the many, many series that have followed in its wake. ~ 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. Every fortnight, our trio of Sean, Mike and Phil discuss a manga, webtoon, manhua or manhwa, reviewing the first two volumes and breaking down what’s good, what’s bad, but mainly, what’s Trash with a capital T. Will this series pass the test? Or be the latest in a long line of failures? Listen in to find out! ~ Follow us on social media!
