Episode 158 - Guard Pass

Our first webtoon of 2026, and it's all about mixed martial arts fighting! Surely with an ex-martial artist, a wrestling stan and a shounen fan amongst our trio, Guard Pass must have been set to go down a treat. It's even got a female lead kicking butt and an atypical mountain of a male protagonist! There's no way we would hard pass on Guard Pass, right? ~ 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. New episodes drop every fortnight, where our trio of Sean, Mike and Phil read the first two volumes (or equivalent) of a manga, webtoon, manhua or manhwa, analysing every little thing to discuss what's good, what's bad, but mostly, what's trash. Five years in, we're just getting started, as trash never ends, and neither do we. So please, come join us and listen to our book club slash never-ending existential nightmare! ~ Follow us on social media!
