On this episode of Manga Mavericks, Colton and Lum catch up on the four newest series to debut in Shonen Jump, including the long awaited return of Masashi Kishimoto and his newest series 2 years in the making, Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru! The other batch of series discussed on the show include shogi manga Double Taisei by Kentaro Fukuda, rugby manga Beast Children by Kento Terasaka, and controversial dystopian manga Tokyo Shinobi Squad by Yuki Tanaka and Kento Matsuura! Which of these new series will the Mavericks take a liking to the most (and why is it Samurai 8)!? Listen to the episode and find out!

Join us next week as we interview longtime member of the comics industry, David Brothers, as well as manga translator, Caleb Cook the week after that! Or you can listen to both interviews in full ahead of time by becoming a patron!
