Detour Quarry 8 - The Good, the Bad, the Forked Ezo Wormwood and the Shiraishi (Golden Kamuy vol 7-11)

Covering: Golden Kamuy volumes 7 to 11

Another lengthy episode this time, as we are truly past the set up phase of the manga and begin to consider what the manga is trying to do, meet some more eccentric guys and also ponder what the series' relationship to queerness is. Also we figure out who the Shinsengumi even are.
