Content Warning: This episode and the series it covers (What It Means to Be You) goes into discussion about sensitive topics such as suicide and suicidal ideation, depression/mental illness, domestic abuse, emotional abuse, abortion/miscarriages, and alcoholism. This month we're joined by a new friend: Witlash, mod over at r/OtomeIsekai on Reddit! She brings us some great perspective as a veteran manhwa/webtoon reader who loves romance fantasy! A series like "What It Means To Be You" deserves a finely-toothed comb to go over every just how impactful and engaging it is. The premise? A couple discovers they swap bodies whenever one of them commits suicide. For people concerned about how the heavy subjects are handled, we do have good news. Everything is handled with the proper level of empathy and weight, with the darker events informing the emotional/psychological development of its characters--like an Inio Asano or Shuzo Oshimi manga. Join us for one of our longest convos yet as we discover the power of empathy and surviving! 988 is the Suicide & Crisis Prevention Hotline.
