Episode 138 - Boys Over Flowers (Hana Yori Dango)
For our final Year 5 series, Mike has dived into his childhood once more, to pick the award winning, best selling, shoujo megahit Boys Over Flowers! Can this classic reverse harem of a poor girl in a rich person's school overcoming bullying, making friends and finding romance end the year with a beautiful bouquet, or wilt under our scorn?

Welcome to That Time I Started A Podcast To Read Trash Manga With My Friends And Actually Most Of Them Were Trash But Some Of Them Weren't!
Or The Trash Manga Friends Podcast, for short.
Each fortnight, our trio of Sean, Mike and Phil read the first two volumes (or equivalent) of a manga, webtoon, manhua or manhwa, analysing every little detail to discuss what's good, what's bad, and what's trash. And believe us, half a decade in, there's a lot of trash to discuss. So come listen to our book club slash neverending existential nightmare!
