One 26 year old man with a giant ego and one 16 year old girl with a backbone leads to a recipe of a long-winded, comedic cat and mouse chase. Shoujo mangas are one of my greatest guilty pleasures of all time. Next to Korean dramas, I love the tropes of a good shoujo manga and this one did a decent job of creating its spin with unlikely, fun characters.

Weed Magic #1 is set on the date 4/20. That tells you a majority of what you need to know in regards to this book, but I’ll set the stage as vividly as I can. On the “420 of 420’s”, a wannabe film star and his law clerk roommate are desperate for weed. They visit their guy, the mysterious alley shaman known as My$tic, and are given a bag of weed described as a strain “fertilized with the manure of 50 virgins and hand misted three times a day with the sweat of 100 Thai ladyboys.” This weed, which they are given for free under a grave warning of its power, gives the men (Bunny and Moe) special powers. After a brief intermission of goofing off, Bunny and Moe decide to use their powers for good. After all, with great weed comes great responsibility- right?

I’ve always been a fan of the multiverse theory. The idea that that multiple universes always made me curious to the possibilities that exist beyond certain boundaries.  While the idea of universes created by various timelines irks me, I am always wondering what could lie beyond our universe and space. (I still get nightmares of seeing a version of myself.) Discord happens to be one such comic that helps me to wrap my head around the concept of various universes beyond everything I know that is logical.

The staff at Konohatei live by one belief: no matter who one may truly be, no matter what, anyone who is a guest is a god. Of course, that includes you. Let the hospitality of Yuzu and the Konohatei heal your tired soul.

Otherwise, you're probably going to think Netflix sponsored this episode, which they didn't. I wish they did, but they didn't. Enjoy the show, listen in two parts if you must and we'll see you in the comments!
