Spooky season is upon us. Or at least it was at the time of recording. We may or may not have picked manga that corresponds with the time of year of pumpkins and costumes. Because we have the planning abilities of a local city council that keeps getting voted out every six months.

What do you do with a drunken sailor? You could fine him and send him off with his purse a little lighter. Or, hear me out, you could give him a podcast wherein he talks about manga.
