On this very spooky episode of Manga Mavericks, we're joined by both Casey (MinovskyArticle) and ANN Guest Writer, Adeline, to spiral into madness as we discuss the Junji Ito magnum opus,Uzumaki! A horrifying story of a teenage couple who live in a small village that is being overrun by spirals everywhere they turn! Including twisted, contorted middle aged men, snail people, even giant curly hair! Listen as we discuss some classic Ito comics and the many underlying themes and ideas within that you may not have thought about before. Enjoy!

New York City. A veritable melting pot of people, living record of historical events, and... a coven of underground subway witches? Run by different gangs of birds?! The Ravenblack Court is an original Webtoon canvas series created in English by ⁠Adorabirb⁠, comics artist and journalist, and friend of the show! With the manhwa/Webtoon industry growing, more and more original series created in English are being published by these platforms.
