Detour Quarry 7 - A Fistful of Yen (Golden Kamuy vol 1-6)
•
Covering: Golden Kamuy volumes 1 to 6
On this beefy first episode of this new season of Detour Quarry, Red and Mel dive into the first few volumes of the manga Golden Kamuy with enthusiasm. With much to discuss between colonialism, a diversity of guys and a strange number of coincidences, the winding road ahead is looking promising. Which is good because we will be walking it for a while.
