Manga Mavericks EP. 114: Pre and Post Quarantine News Roundup

On this episode of Manga Mavericks, Colton and Lum have a lot of news to catch up on! So much, that they had to add even more to the podcast later! As the title indicates, we record a whole bunch of news that we had been meaning to get to, with even more news that came up afterwards that we decided to include with the episode, which is why this episode is a few days late, but despite the shape the world is in with the current COVID-19 pandemic, the manga/anime industry hasn't completely stopped yet! We have everything from new series, to even more new licenses, as well as our thoughts on the recent announcement of the upcoming interview with Nobuhiro Watsuki and Eiichiro Oda, plus the return of Tite Kubo and the unfortunate exit of Masashi Kishimoto. All that and more on this week's podcast! Remember to stay inside if you can and wash your hands!!
