As such My Taste is Better Than Yours shifts to an omnibus format for a look at the comings and goings – a check-in as we reach the midway point of 2026. Tune in and see where Samu and I weigh in on the state of manga’s undisputed commercial king – and the challenges the magazine is grappling with, not always successfully.
