Episode 16: Why do we stop reading Manga?
Even though we love Manga, why is it that sometimes we just can't bring ourselves to pick one up? For everyone dealing with that lingering frustration, we invite you to a lighthearted conversation about reconnecting with Manga. This episode of 'Manga Mogura' features a special project brought to us by Asakura-san.
It all started with Asakura-san reading every volume of Chibi Maruko-chan.
Asakura-san recently finished reading the entire series of Chibi Maruko-chan. While the work used to have a strong image as a story for children, re-engaging with it as an adult allowed for a completely different appreciation. The two hosts discuss why our approach to reading Manga shifts from childhood to adulthood, sharing an intriguing perspective on how Manga serves as a 'medium that celebrates the journey.'
Thinking deeply about those moments when we stop reading.
Why do books end up in our backlog (tsundoku), or why do we buy them only to leave them unfinished? The two hosts share their personal experiences regarding that common 'pulling away from Manga' phase. In particular, Asakura-san shares an episode about a book from the past that changed their reading pace and style. Please listen to the full episode for the rest of the discussion.
