On this episode of Manga Mavericks, its time once again to go over the latest news from the past month as we discuss the latest serialization, licensing and anime news! Plus we finally get to some Shonen Jump popularity polls we haven't had the time to go over! Other topics of discussion include our thoughts on Blood Blockade Battlefront, Kodansha finally making GTO available digitally, and how we feel about Manga Plus's new reading campaign and whether its a ploy just to compete with Viz's Shonen Jump app.
