Description

A discussion about the two-volume series Man of Many Faces by CLAMP.This is a two-volume gag manga about a gentleman thief who's in elementary school named Akira. He has two moms who look identical to each other. He's part of the Clamp School Detectives. He's in love with a kindergartener named Utako. It might be one of the best romantic relationships in any Clamp manga. Wait, what? Shojo and Tell host Ashley and her husband do their best to crack the case as to why this strange, should-be-problematic short series is actually endearing and wholesome.Man of Many Faces is available from Viz Media digitallyOther CLAMP manga mentioned:RG VedaClamp School DetectivesTsubasaCardcaptor SakuraChobitsTokyo BabylonMagic Knight RayearthAngelic LayerWishOther manga/anime mentioned:Bungo Stray DogsCowboy BebopYuYu HakushoFushigi YuugiD.N.AngelSailor MoonPersona 5Edogawa RanpoPretty WomanSome Like It HotBuzzfeed Quiz: You Know How Old You Are Literally, But How Old Are You Mentally?You should probably just listen to the CLAMPcast in Wonderland episodes about this manga insteadOutro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USAsher on Archive of Our Own: @dasheryShojo & Tell on Twitter, Tumblr, and InstagramAshley's Tales of Xillia fanfic: Well Suited

Titles in the series (100)

A manga discussion podcast focusing on shojo (and josei!) series that make your heart go doki-doki. Covering classics like CLAMP’s “Cardcaptor Sakura” and Yuu Watase’s “Fushigi Yuugi” to newer favorites like Kazune Kawahara’s “My Love Story!!” and Hiro Fujiwara’s “Maid Sama!” Shojo & Tell host Ashley McDonnell discusses one series per episode with a rotating shojo superfan. (And sometimes, a shoujo superfan.) Shojo [or shoujo] manga: Japanese comics made for young women. A breath of fresh air after reading 72 volumes of “Naruto.” The underappreciated sibling of all those same-y never-ending shonen titles.
