What do Bridgerton and Les Lladres del Temps have in common?
They’re both premiering their 4th season. 

(00:01) Mandarake 

We’re back with new recommendations for manga, anime and video games. 

· The Netflix series Bridgerton. Links brings us a recommendation that’s a bit different from what’s usual at Can Lladres, but with all the drama, romance and addictive characters that have turned this series into a phenomenon. And yes, she used the 1% Asian connection as an excuse to sneak the show into Mandarake. 

· The video game JDM: Japanese Drift Master. Jinx takes the wheel to recommend this title focused on the world of Japanese drifting, with races, car culture and all the Initial D style. 

· The manga La boda de las luciérnagas (Milky Way Ediciones). Hang Wee returns to manga with a work that combines romance, drama and a very special atmosphere. 

(00:25) The Roundtable: Collecting and the concept of oshikatsu 

Collecting has evolved a lot: it’s no longer just about “having things”, but also a way of living fandom, building identity and even connecting with other fans. 

In this episode we talk about it from a modern perspective and connect it with the Japanese concept of oshikatsu: the idea of actively supporting your “oshi” (your favorite person/character/group), whether through merch, events, purchases, content or small everyday actions. 

We reflect on where the line lies between passion and pressure, what collecting means today, and how it fits into contemporary fan culture… with our usual mix of humor and curiosities. 

What kind of podcast would we be if we didn’t approach things with love, respect and humor?
