Description
Covers all 3 volumes of Love in Focus by Yoko NogiriLove in Focus is a very cute and subtly subversive series about a high school love triangle between Mako, Kei, and Mitsuru and their experiences with a photography club. Shojo & Tell host Ashley and her boytoy Asher heap tons of praise on this highly aware manga. Ashley rants about why Kei is too relatable and therefore is aggravating, there's debate about the state of photography in the modern day, and there are revelations about what makes Mako a refreshing shojo manga protagonist. In the end, this episode turns into a relationship advice podcast.REFERENCESLove in Focus is available physically and digitally from KodanshaIf you like Love in Focus, you may also like these series: Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty, Waiting for Spring, and Daytime Shooting StarOther manga mentions: Magic Knight Rayearth, SP Baby, Ouran High School Host Club, Kimi ni Todoke, Maid-SamaYoko Nogiri's other series is That Wolf-Boy is Mine!Kei reminds Ashley of Kento from Kimi ni TodokeOutro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USAsher on Archive of Our Own: dasheryShojo & Tell on Twitter, Tumblr, and InstagramAshley on Twitter: @AshMcD00

Japan Trip 2018 Special: We’re going on a Japan trip! Ashley’s been on vacation in Japan for the past two weeks, and has gone on some manga-related adventures (and many non-manga-related adventures). She and her romantic partner/Viz Media employee/travel companion Jeff Ruberg discuss the Kimi ni Todoke exhibit at Tokyo Anime Center, how it compares to the ongoing Shonen Jump exhibit, what it’s like seeing the cherry blossoms and going to themed cafes, and generally what their favorite activity on this trip has been. by Shojo & Tell: A Manga Podcast
