Whoever's in charge of the encyclopedia should know that Fantagraphics Books dropped the "Books" from their name and goes by just Fantagraphics. https://www.gamesradar.com/fantagraphics-books-gets-new-logo-shorter-name/

I had to do some googling to figure out why in the heck there's a publishing company called "Mangasplaining," and apparently it's a spinoff of a podcast where they, well, explain manga. So that at least makes some degree of sense. But I still think it's an awful pun unless the subject matter has something to do with the neologism it's based on, which as far as I can tell, it does not.

It's just a jokey reference. The podcast began with the premise that 3 of the hosts are longtime manga readers (reviewer/journalist, editor for a US publisher, comic shop manager), while one has spent his career more western comics focused, so there's an element of "explaining" manga-specific things to him, getting him to try series, and just generally making it more approachable for someone outside of manga to figure out what it's all about. They're a fun bunch to listen to and they cover a pretty decent array of genres/titles. |

I absolutely LOVE the 2018 adaptation, so perhaps this one will be for someone else. I only have place for 1 Dororo in my heart.
