"Princess Jellyfish" Vol. 1-3 by Akiko Higashimura

· 56:15

|
Robin, Jillian, and Scout visit a building called AMARS and the half-dozen wonderfully weird women who live there in today's episode on the first three volumes of "Princess Jellyfish" by Akiko Higashimura (or, if you're like us, the first 1.5 English-language omnibus volumes). With enthusiasm that nearly matches Banba's love of trains, the panelists discuss gender, neurodiversity, classism, fashion...and even their budding interest in Three Kingdoms-era China.
