The Comfortable Spot with Briana Lawrence

from The Comfortable Spot Hosted by The Comfortable Spot

Today, my guest is writer Briana Lawrence. Briana is the Senior Features Editor at Crunchyroll—an industry-leading, award-winning online platform that brings fans the latest news and features from across the anime world. I was eager to explore the world of Japanese animation, or "anime," which has experienced a remarkable surge in global popularity over the past decade. With the enthusiastic support of my daughter Lidia—an avid fan of all things Japanese—I invited Briana onto the podcast for a conversation about her book, The Essential Manga Guide: 50 Series Every Manga Fan Should Know, and the broader evolution of anime and manga culture. This episode also marks a first for The Comfortable Spot, as Lidia joined me in co-hosting our conversation with Briana so I hope you are sitting comfortably and happy to stay with us.
