From the website: "Mangasplaining is a collaborative, multi-prong project, first expressed as a weekly podcast, and conceived by comics workers and friends Deb Aoki, David Brothers, Christopher Butcher, and Chip Zdarsky. It emerged from their appreciation of Japanese manga culture and the realization that some people (Chip, mostly) were avid comics readers but didn't know how to start reading manga. This is not as uncommon as you might think: though the Anglosphere boasts millions of manga fans, mainstream manga publishing caters mostly to teen readers, and it can be difficult to know where to start if you're outside of that demographic.
Luckily, some of us (Deb, David, and Chris, mostly) decided to induct our illustrious colleague Chip into the joys and pleasures of manga, one book at a time. Thus, the Mangasplaining Podcast was born! The podcast is a great way to discover classics, exciting new works and to get a broad overview of manga in all its varieties!"
