LIVE @ Hibanacon 2019 - The £100 Manga Library!

Recorded LIVE at Hibanacon 2019, Elliot and Andy are joined by Laura Watton as they each make a pitch for what titles they would select to make up a (hypothetical!) Manga Library of Undeniable Quality for the mere sum of £100. I think we had a dang good discussion!

Please note that there are some unavoidable dips in audio quality - the recording had to be reconstructed from multiple sources as it was initially a blown out mess! The final result is listenable, but has some rough patches. Apologies!

You can view the slides for the panel here in PDF format!

Many, Many thanks to Laura for bringing her talents to the panel, and special thanks to Dead Rat Pizza for his assistance in cleaning up the AWFUL audio recorded by my dictaphone!
