Angela and Kelly dive into slice of life as a genre--or rather, Kelly goes to great lengths to explain to Angela why slice of life might be at all appealing. Why isn't slice of life a thing in the western market outside web comics, and could a slice of life story ever succeed here? Can Angela's cold, hardened fossil of a heart ever be healed by fluffy slice of life manga? Plus, Kelly goes over some of the recent manga license announcements from the recent Anime Expo.
