Show overview
Manga Machinations has been publishing since 2014, and across the 12 years since has built a catalogue of 603 episodes. That works out to roughly 900 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 10m and 1h 47m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Leisure show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 1 weeks ago, with 27 episodes already out so far this year. Published by David Rodriguez.
