Episode 242

Crunchyroll's giving us some sneak peeks for the upcoming Fall season, and boy oh boy does Frankfurtter have some thoughts on the event. Spoiler alert, he goes old man Frankfurtter on some attendees (yikes!).

Also, Tokypop is nearing the end of its public stock share offer for fans to invest in the company! A cool yet odd endeavor, this comes off the aftermath of a somewhat rocky 2025 year.

Lastly, a webtoon app is closing down in North America. What does this mean for the digital manhwa market??

Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage have plenty to dive into in this week's episode!!
