Xan saddles up for Buffalo 5 Girls by Moyoco Anno—a short-lived but explosive josei manga about a band of women fleeing oppression on stolen motorcycles across the Wild West. Was this bold, feminist tale from the creator of Sugar Sugar Rune worth the ride despite its premature cancellation? We dive into its themes of freedom, sisterhood, and what could have been.

In This Episode:

• 
  

  Analyzing Moyoco Anno's unique take on female empowerment and rebellion.

  
  


• 
  

  Why this Azuki Manga series ended too soon and its lasting impact.

  
  


•
