Episode 24 - An Invitation From A Crab by Panpanya

On this week's episode, Mat is joined by Maria Salgado to talk about the closest thing we'll likely ever get to an 'indie manga' in English: An Invitation From a Crab by Panpanya, published by Denpa!
Join us as we talk about Panpanya's focus on vibes over story, how they create breath taking comics with mixed medium, and more importantly, how they create comics that are full of whimsey, nostalgia and maybe even a little loneliness!
Find the Mangasplaining episode on the same book (including an interview with the book's English Translator, Ko Ransom) here!
