I AM HERE! And our never-ending fight to discuss great manga continues with another Shonen Jump series discussion! This week we’re talking My Hero Academia with Doctor of the Ass Backwards Anime Podcast. We talk the good, the bad, the ugly, the all right and All Might – every quirky detail we could extrapolate from the series for the sake of doing it justice! It’s all for one great all-encompassing MHA podcast, one for all you MHA fans to enjoy!

But before we get to that, we’ve got some news to cover! We round off our discussion of the recent Jump Starts by going over Tadatoshi Fujimaki’s Robot X Laserbeam, a golfing manga featuring a protagonist who’s as excited about the sport as most readers! Then, we wish Makoto Raiku well after his heartbreaking decision to cancel Vector Ball, eulogize the passing of the High School of the Dead mangaka, and speculate about the upcoming Blazing Transfer Student show on Netflix! Finally, we round off the show with a dozen of MHA Q&As from one seriously dedicated MHA superfan! Plus Ultra!
