Black School Rules and the Special Part 1 with Ayumi

Friday Sep 30, 2022
We are FINALLY releasing a new episode. We sincerely apologize for the delay. We've had a lot on our plates lately. Now we know we said we would release the Korean Drama Her Private Life next but we got to recording and editing this one first. So please join Wathanya and Faith as they tackle the representation in the Japanese drama Black School Rules Part 1 with special guest Ayumi from the Sparkleside Chats with Magical Girl Ayu podcast. The audio quality is a bit lower than usual and the episode is quite long but we hope you all will still enjoy it!
