Episode 140 - Trashtacular Tournament Arc-V Part 2

An off week episode!? That can only mean it's the climax of Trashtacular Tournament Arc-V! With the chaff eliminated, we're into the knockout rounds, as we take the 16 survivors and 1v1 them down to find this year's Not Actually Trash series! Will a big name like Naruto or Pokémon win? Can the gays Girl Friends and I Think Our Son is Gay triumph? Or will the hentai Metamorphosis beat 'em all? Let the wars begin! ~ Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Read Trash Manga With My Friends And Actually Most Of Them Were Trash But Some Of Them Weren't! Or The Trash Manga Friends Podcast, for short. Each fortnight, our trio of Sean, Mike and Phil read the first two volumes (or equivalent) of a manga, webtoon, manhua or manhwa, analysing every little detail to discuss what's good, what's bad, and what's trash. And believe us, half a decade in, there's a lot of trash to discuss. So come listen to our book club slash neverending existential nightmare! ~ Follow us on social media!
