Description
Covers volumes 10–18 of Takane and Hana by Yuki Shiwasu (that's the second half of the series).Takane is 27. Hana is 17. They're arranged marriage partners, and they're finally read to admit that they're in love. Shojo & Tell host Ashley and librarian Kelly are back to discuss how this age-gap romance wrapped up its story with a blissfully minimal amount of squick but still a high amount of disappointment. That's what the drama was between Takane and his mom and the whole Takaba corporation? Takane and Hana have to get married right now? Hana ends up just as a housewife? But we did get something great in the end: a possible OT3 with Yukari, Kirigasaki, and Rino.REFERENCESTakane and Hana is available from Viz Media's Shojo Beat lineKelly used to host a podcast called One Panel LaterKelly has been on to discuss House of the Sun and Waiting for SpringThere are some Maid-Sama vibes in Shiwasu's seriesOther manga mentions:Tokyo GhoulDemon SlayerNarutoA Silent VoicePrincess JellyfishFullmetal AlchemistKelly said she got Breaking Dawn vibes from this endingAren't we all hikikomori now?Outro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USKelly on Twitter: @kellyquteShe says her Twitter is now a danmei/MXTX fan accountShojo & Tell on Twitter, Tumblr, and InstagramAshley on Twitter: @AshMcD00

Cardcaptor Sakura Part 1 (with Jess Tan): Kyahhhh! It’s time to release the first episode about one of the most iconic shojo series ever! Ashley and Jess cover volumes 1-6 of “Cardcaptor Sakura” and discuss who is the best character (hint: Toya, but also maybe all of them?), how CCS represents every type of love you could think of (for better or worse), and come up with an excellent marketing plan to help CLAMP’s iconic series take advantage of the collectible card genre. by Shojo & Tell: A Manga Podcast
