EP. 246: Alternative[Self Liner Note]

On this episode of Manga Mavericks, we're spotlighting the first of our upcoming Manga Mavericks Books releases with Chiaki Yagura's Alternative[Self Liner Note]! A short story about a young artist trying to leave her mark on the world while struggling through a creative slump. Varun (aka VlordGTZ) discusses the process of finding and bringing over this wonderful story, while Sakaki (Weekly Shogakukan Edition) discusses what it was like translating something that resonated with him very personally. Enjoy!

Alternative[Self Liner Note] will be released on July 16th and is currently available for pre-order on our store!

Check out our Alternative themed Spotify playlist featuring songs from the book!
