Episode #0136 of the podcast is available for download! We’re back into the swing of things this week with the “Manga Review of Awesomeness” as Jeff joins us for volume seventeen. If you are looking over at your collection of Viz manga and don’t see a “DB 17” over there, that is because in Japan the entire manga series is simply called DragonBall beginning to end, volume one to forty-two. The “Z”-distinction from the TV series was only applied to the manga by Viz when they began releasing it state-side so many years ago. Definitely check it out.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0136! VegettoEX, Meri, and Jeff finally hit the “Z”-era with volume seventeen of our “Manga Review of Awesomeness”. The innocence is lost as Goku discovers his true origin, and Toriyama’s story will never be the same. Julian rounds out the rest of the episode with us as we cover all of this week’s news, hit up the DBZ ABCs, read some e-mails, and start up a new contest!
