For June, I'm discussing one of my favorite shoujo manga:
CLAMP's Tokyo Babylon! So of course, I had to recruit Lucy
& Robin of the wonderful CLAMPcast in
Wonderland to help me do an extra long deep dive of this
bold & stylish, supernatural queer cult classic: What makes
it so special, why it being "problematic" is actually
important, how it's themes & story elements are still
relevant over 30 years later, and most importantly: THE
FASHION! We discuss the basics of the characters and story up
until the SPOILERS, which start around 1:50:00. Enjoy!
