Description
Covers both volumes of SP Baby by Maki Enjoji.We're back with another Enjoji title! This time, it's a classic bodyguard romance, full of tragic backstories and sexual harassment. Tamaki joins the Security Police for Kagetora, the prime minster's nephew, against her better judgment (she really needs this job) and of course, romance ensues whether the heroine wants it or not. Ashley and Asher discuss how Tamaki's extreme form of accountability is actually refreshing, while Kagetora manages to avoid landing at the very bottom of the barrel for romantic heroes. We've seen worse. We've also seen way better.REFERENCESSP Baby is available from Viz MediaListen to our House of the Sun episodesListen to our Princess Jellyfish episodesKagetora is Anti-Everything, but he loves TamakiRemember The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?

The Key to the Kingdom (with Megan DeYarman): Covers all 6 volumes of THE KEY TO THE KINGDOM by Kyoko Shitou Megan and Ashley discuss a very underappreciated title published by the now-defunct CMX. Many comparisons to “The Vision of Escaflowne” are made as discussions about dragons and fate ensue. Are the dragons a metaphor for nuclear weapons? Do Gaius and Badd have a thing for each other? Just what kind of leader is Asta, anyway? Why the heck did you never hear about this gorgeous manga?! All your pressing questions about just what the heck the Key to the Kingdom even is will be answered here. by Shojo & Tell: A Manga Podcast
