Leo didn't look up. "Define 'new.' Have you watched Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood ?"

"Seen it."

Leo grinned. " Delicious in Dungeon . Imagine Dungeons & Dragons , but instead of looting treasure, they cook and eat the monsters. It’s a cooking show. It’s a fantasy epic. It’s also a surprisingly deep meditation on ecology. The manga just ended, and the anime’s second season is coming."

He flipped a page in his notebook. "If you want the current king of the magazine, though? One Piece is still sailing. But for a quicker hit, Spy x Family . It’s a fake family: the dad’s a spy, the mom’s an assassin, the kid’s a telepath, and the dog sees the future. It’s the warm hug of the anime world."

"Seventeen years ago, Leo. I was in diapers."

"But I don't just want punches," Mira said, sitting down. "I want something that messes with my head."

Mira snatched his phone. "Okay, give me one manga to read tonight and one anime to stream."

Leo thought for a moment. "Manga: Chainsaw Man . Don’t look up spoilers. Just know it’s about a boy fused with a devil who can turn into a chainsaw. It’s violent, tragic, and hilarious. Read the first two volumes."
