On this episode of Manga Mavericks, its time once again to go over the latest news from the past month as we discuss the latest serialization, licensing and anime news! Plus we finally get to some Shonen Jump popularity polls we haven't had the time to go over! Other topics of discussion include our thoughts on Blood Blockade Battlefront, Kodansha finally making GTO available digitally, and how we feel about Manga Plus's new reading campaign and whether its a ploy just to compete with Viz's Shonen Jump app. Be sure to take our annual podcast survey by Sunday, February 13th, for a chance to win some free manga: https://s.surveyplanet.com/1m409qcf For a complete list of links and Shout-Outs included in this episode, check out this podcast's webpage at: http://all-comic.com/2022/manga-mavericks-ep-188-february-2022-news-roundup/ PODCAST BREAKDOWN: 00:00 - RIP Shinji Mizushima 03:36 - Intro/Manga Mavericks Survey 08:46 - NYT List for January 2022 10:24 - Bookscan list for December 2021 20:45 - UQ Holder ends Feb 9th 22:01 - Fire Force ends in a few chapters, about 2 volumes 24:55 - Blood Blockade Battlefront ending in next issue of Jump SQ RISE 33:04 - Satoshi Mizukami plans to end Planet With before summer 34:30- Space Brothers plans to start its final arc this year 35:04 - Yakuza Lover approaches climax 35:27 - New manga coming from both Yuki Kodama and Canno 37:04 - Akira Toriyama’s Manga Theater & JoJo Part 6 on now on Shonen Jump app 42:09 - Manga Plus Read Free First campaign 51:54 - Azuki adds more Glacier Bay & Star Fruit Books titles 52:32 - Kodansha releases all of GTO & 14 Days in Shonan digitally 58:15 - Kodansha to release Blue Lock in print this summer 59:21 - Lum's Licensing Highlights 1:14:33 - Colton's Licensing Highlights 1:27:40 - Anime Streaming Acquisitions 1:32:36 - Piracy Updates 1:37:00 - Tetsuya Chiba’s heart surgery was successful 1:38:44 - Attack on Titan was world’s most in-demand show in 2021 1:41:16 - Scott Pilgrim anime coming to Netflix from Science Saru 1:43:05 - Belle's North American box office 1:44:10 - Jujutsu Kaisen 0 coming to US/Canadian theaters on March 18th 1:49:45 - My Broken Mariko live action movie coming 1:50:34 - Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer anime coming this summer 1:55:10 - New Mamoru Oshii show 1:57:19 - Vote in the Mashle Popularity Poll, open until Feb 23rd 1:59:30 - Magu-chan Popularity Poll 2:08:19 - My Hero Academia 7th Popularity Poll 2:14:16 - Mission: Yozakura Family Popularity Poll 2:24:41 - Jujustu Kaisen 2nd Popularity Poll 2:30:25- Community Shout-outs! 2:45:52 - Wrap up Enjoy the show, and follow us on twitter at @manga_mavericks, on tumblr at mangamavericks.tumblr.com, and on Youtube!
