Fushigi Yugi Part 1 (with Caitlin Moore and Jess Tan): Covers volumes 1-9 of FUSHIGI YUGI by Yu Watase Watase’s classic stirs up a lot of feelings in this first Shojo & Tell episode to have three people voicing their opinions. The nostalgia goggles are definitely on for Ashley, Caitlin, and Jessica as they debate who the best celestial warrior is (NURIKO IS THE GREATEST! NO! TASUKI!), ponder the strange choice to have the Seiryu warriors be evil, and discuss how the isekai genre has evolved over the years since FUSHIGI YUGI (ugh, SWORD ART ONLINE). Other questions answered: Should FY get a new anime adaptation? Do luck and privilege intersect? Is GENBU KAIDEN the superior FY? Is love really war? by Shojo & Tell: A Manga Podcast

Alice 19th (with Chika and Giana from Shoujo Sundae): This episode discusses all seven volumes of ALICE 19TH by Yuu Watase. Sisters Alice Seno and Mayura Seno end up falling for the same handsome boy, Kyo, and their fight for his affection threatens to destroy the whole world. That's a bit of an oversimplification, but the general gist of Watase's ALICE 19TH. Chika and Giana from the podcast Shoujo Sundae join Shojo and Tell host Ashley to talk about the battle between the Lotis Masters and Maram Masters, where words are turned into magical but very deadly violence. We discuss the influences of September 11, 2001, on the story, Watase's efforts at diversity and inclusion, whether we consider Alice a magical girl or not, and more. by Shojo & Tell: A Manga Podcast
