This episode discusses volumes 8–15 of Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts by Yu Tomofuji.Sariphi has gone from ritual sacrifice to acting queen, but she's still working to gain the respect of members of beastkind. In this episode about the back half of Tomofuji's series, Mackenzie from Mac Loves Manga and Shojo and Tell host Ashley break down the highlights. We get to talk more about our favorite hyena boy, Lante, and his heartwarming worldviews; crotchety Anubis and the amazing journey he went on (where he got stabbed at least twice); the power of Sariphi, particularly in the arc with Fenrir; plus, we finally find out why the king is partially human, and meet some of the best side characters who should definitely have their own series.Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts is available from Yen Press in EnglishThere's a spinoff that's not licensed yet, The White Rabbit and the Beast PrinceBe sure to check out Shoujo Sundae, Colleen's Manga Recs, and Basic BoiOther anime/manga mentionedVampire KnightOne PieceRequiem of the Rose KingMy Happy MarriageOokuTokyo GhoulDragon Ball ZHunter x HunterFullmetal AlchemistThe World is Still BeautifulDub actors lobbying for better payMad MaxAvengers: EndgameOutro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USMackenzie on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, TumblrMackenzie's YouTube channelShojo & Tell on Bluesky, Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter
