Episode 28 - Trashtacular Tournament Arc (Part 2)

The epic conclusion! We celebrate one year of Trash Manga Friends with our Trashtacular Tournament Arc to crown the first ever Not Actually Trash series, and the Trashiest Manga, Friends. This time we're down to the Last 16, as we blast our way through the second round, quarters, semis and the final to crown our favourite series of the past year. Can the ten victors from Round 1 hold a candle to the six we buy-ed through, including top seeds Solo Leveling and Apothecary Diaries? And which manga took home the honour of being the worst of the worst?

Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Read Trash Manga With My Friends And Actually Most Of Them Were Trash But Some Of Them Weren't!

Or The Trash Manga Friends Podcast, for short.

Every fortnight, Sean, Mike and Phil cover a manga (or sometimes webtoon!), and discuss the first two volumes, looking at the good, the bad... but mostly, the trash. Will we find some gems amongst the junk? Or just slip further into the trash pile?
