In this episode, we’re focusing on one of the most incredible writers in Japan – Okada Mari.

If you’re an avid anime watcher, you’ve likely come across her work in some shape or form over the years – from Anohana and Toradora to Maquia and A Whisker Away.

Okada has an incredible focus on the human connection in her work, and it’s part of the reason we love her series and movies so much!
