Duklyon: CLAMP School Defenders (with Asher Sofman) [Shonen Exception #4]

Shojo & Tell: A Manga Podcast

A discussion about the two-volume series Duklyon: CLAMP School Defenders by CLAMP.

Another two-volume shonen gag manga from CLAMP, an even sillier and shorter Shojo & Tell episode than usual. The CLAMP School Defenders Kentarou Higashikunimaru and Takeshi Shukaido are trying to protect the institution from the Imonoyama Shopping District Association. From there, an alien romance commences. Duklyon is strange, comedic, and a loving send up to tokusatsu shows. Most of this episode is just Asher and Ashley trying to say "Higashikunimaru" 10 times fast. (No, it's not. That's only part of the episode. We promise.)
