What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Been listening almost since they started, they’re great for getting a gist of what’s going on in the manga world, a perfect show for the kind of weirdo that likes keeping up with all the manga at once. They do a good job at touching on new series in Jump and getting a pulse on the ongoing series. It’s a relax show without lots of effects or editing or gimmicks, it’s just good manga discussions, and the humor is silly and wholesome, even the hardcore fanfic porn readings. I look forward to the year end discussion episode every year, thank you two for being the best.

While a podcast firmly in the genre of two dudes (and occasionally guests) talking to each other, Weekly Manga Recap is a standout in that crowded field for its hosts’ genuine rapport, digressions, and enthusiastic love of manga as an art form and storytelling medium. Chris and Nik make listening & reading a joy; even when they suffer.

You guys are super hilarious listen to you guys at work and sometimes I need to step away from my desk because I can’t control my laughter. I really enjoy that you guys go deep into each chapter keep the good work.

WMR succeeds where most other manga podcasts fail. No hints of pretentiousness, animosity or awkward, uninteresting discussion between strangers here; just two good friends who are as likely to come up with convoluted theories on recent chapters as they are to go on wild tangents about wrestling or bizarre school memories. Nick and Chris have a real knack for describing and commenting on the series they read, making the worst series or even a manga you might have never touched an enjoyable ride. The two are likely to get a laugh out of you even if they do not share your opinion on a given series. Each episode feels less like a podcast and more like listening in on the conversation between two very funny friends. A real gem.
