    Making Janessa Read Manga: Why Manga is Important
    Apr 8 2025
    Shaylee introduced Janessa to a different kind of storytelling: manga! We briefly discuss the history of manga as a storytelling medium and highlight Osamu Tezuka as an author and artist. We also discuss some roadblocks to getting into manga as a beginner. Janessa talks about her first impressions of Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note, and A Sign of Affection. We also touch on some downsides to manga and its influence on Japanese culture. *Please note that our discussion of the drawbacks and negative influence that some aspects of manga create is not comprehensive or complete; it's just a brief mention of a much broader and sensitive topic. Zack Barnson created the music for our episode.
