A Raven for All Seasons and The Elusive Samurai

The Chicago White Sox have fired their fail-manager Pedro Grifol, who was hired by their previous fail-regime, and backed up during hiring by the current fail-regime. They'll be looking outside the organization for a new manager, and I have almost zero hope. I love this team.

This episode, we're talking about Chisato Abe (story) and Natsumi Matsuzaki's (manga) A Raven for All Seasons available on K Manga and Yusei Matsui's The Elusive Samurai published by Viz through Shonen Jump.
