267 - Random Readings 1 - The Pits of Hell

Due to technical difficulties we were unable to record the planned Guest Gaiden with Anne Lee this week. So instead Morgana, Darfox, and dakazu do a prolonged Whatcha Been Reading section to talk lots about Chainsaw Man, The Pits of Hell, Yasuko to Kenji, Shiyakusho, and other manga!!!
