| Yeah that works. It has a cast that is mostly male. ~~~~~ Can someone(or everyone) do me the world's hugest favor and tell me what to read for my list? I've been too caught up in the anime challenge and various other weird life stuff to pick out what I need to read. Only caveats are no ongoing and preferably not overly long, but some long stuff is fine. As long as they meet each challenge it's cool. Manga list is here |

I tried to pick things I think you might like (looking at your fav to help me) , but of course maybe it won't be to your taste , you tell me . If you read any of those , feel free to talk about it after with me in the thread , I'll be happy to discuss about it . By the way , hello everyone ^^ . How is the challenge going ? I wish I would have read more already, but I guess I take it slower this year . I plan to do a massive "review" for most of the things I'll have read for the challenge and think it's worth mentioning (in a good or bad way) when I'll be done . |

| @AudioTsunami Some suggestions » Read a one-shot Umwelt » Read a manga by an author/artist you don't know Kiseijuu » Read a manga with a main cast mainly of one gender Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2: Battle Tendency I liked this part more that the first one. » Read a manga about food, music or art Sakamichi no Apollon » Watch a Sci-Fi, Space or Mecha manga Planetes » Read a Mystery, Thriller or Psychological manga Pluto » Read a manga that has not been adapted in any way Nijigahara Holograph This was kind of weird, but I found it interesting. It seems you don't like Asano Inio much though, so you can skip this one if you'd like. @Dullboy I was surprised I hadn't seen you around! I'm pacing myself a bit this year too, but I'm trying to read a bit every day so it won't be like last year (rushing through a bunch of unplanned manga in the last 2 weeks). I'll look forward to your impressions! |

| Hello I have a question about this item: » Read a manga with a non-human main character I readed Baketeriya 3 of the 5 main characters are spirits. This manga counts for this item? Thanks |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| @brenees Well, I'd say it doesn't because Naoya, the actual MC is human. It is true that the spirits are also considered main in the manga database, but the story revolves around him. Edit: Actually, I changed my mind. If it's identified as a main in the characters, I'll accept it, so yeah it counts! |

| I need some help to find a manga that I forgot the name.. I was searching for a manga about art , and that one came to mind but impossible to remember the name of it : it's about a young woman painter , it's kind of historical I think , because it take place in the Italia of the past (or is it France ?) . Anyway , it focus on a young woman artist trying to live of her art even with the difficulty , sexism and all . I'm pretty sure it's a recent thing and ongoing , at least I know it's publishing here in french , but maybe not in english , I don't know . Hope somebody will know , thanks in advance |

Hope somebody will know , thanks in advance Are you talking about Arte? Definitely sounds like what you're talking about. Looks like it has been licensed digitally in English. Looks like a really interesting series, I might give it a look. |
| Nice ! it's this manga yes . Thanks a lot Horkus . I'll see if I can find it book in hand (in french) , since the translations don't seems to be too advanced on the internet yet . |

| i've just read the latest chapter of Somali to Mori no Kamisama. there are two MCs: a golem and a human girl. would that be okay for » Read a manga with a non-human main character ? and would toriko be okay for » Start and catch up to an on-going long-running (300+) series ? there are more than 300 chapters but it could end this year (rumors based on rankings and pacing).. |
| thanks, i guess i'll wait with toriko until i've made some progress^^ while working on my challenge list i got some new questions: -» Read a manga that focuses on non-romantic relationships: <- would Rainbow be okay? -» Read a manga that focuses on a couple with a romantic relationship: <- Akagami no Shirayuki-hime? -» Read a manga adapted from a video game, original anime or light novel: <- is this limited to LNs or is a novel okay? -» Read a light novel: <- is something like "No Game No Life v3" okay? -target demographic: does it matter if i choose shounen or seinen? (i'm 21) -should i mark which genre etc i chose? e.g.: » Read a manga about food, music or art: Arte » Read a manga about food, music or art: Arte (art) » Read a manga about food, music or art: Arte » Read a manga about art: Arte |
| @Simar yes, onRainbow but just know that it hasn't been completely translated and at the rate the chapters are being released currently, it's gonna take 2+ years. That doesn't effect eligibility for the challenge, but it might effect your enjoyment in that you won't get a full story for a fairly long time if you ever do. Yes on Shirayuki LNs only since it is specified. Idk what you mean by NGNL v3. If you mean just the 3rd volume then no. You have to read a series. Seinen only since you're 21 You can specify the genre if you want to, it's not required. I just bold the genre i used. Ex: » Read a manga about food, music or art: Arte |
| Actually @AudioTsunami @Simar for the bonus challenge Read a Light Novel just any volume is OK, you don't have to read the whole series, so V3 of that series works towards the bonus. I agree you should choose Seinen. |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
| in this case i'll simply choose whichever LN i finish first^^ (NGNL or Toaru Hikuushi e no Tsuioku) (there will be many volumes i'll read this year. too bad i can only use one for one challenge :/ ) |
| @Simar well, a few people have mentioned interest in including light novels, so maybe you could see if people would be interested in a light novel challenge? It doesn't have to be as big as this, maybe just 5, 10 or 15 items. If you're interested in running one, I recommend you contact Kineta. If not, forget I suggested it XD |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
| I don't really see the point of a LN-specific challenge. With few exceptions, most of them could easily be done using Light Novels if desired. That'd be like having Movie, OVA, or ONA challenges too. |

yazio said: I don't really see the point of a LN-specific challenge. With few exceptions, most of them could easily be done using Light Novels if desired. That'd be like having Movie, OVA, or ONA challenges too. This challenge doesn't include LNs. Movies, OVAs, and ONAs are included in the anime challenge. That is why there is interest for an LN challenge. |
lady_freyja said: Are you sure? Since it is in the "Creators" category, I was assuming that the "favorite" stood for "mangaka" and not "manga". I think the reason is, a lot of mangaka publish in multiple magazines. For example, if my favorite mangaka were Kazurou Inoue (Which he isn't but whatever), which magazine would I use? That dude's work has been published in Shounen Sunday, Shounen Sunday Super, Young Animal, Young Animal Island, Young Animal Densi, and Gekkan! Sprits. With "favorite manga", I'll 100% be limited to a single mag. Also, your favorite mangaka doesn't necessarily have to be the one who wrote your favorite manga. So since we already have a challenge for "one of your favorite mangaka", this adds more diversity, I think. |
| But 10 is less than 10 + additional magazines those mangakas were published in. |
Horkus said: With "favorite manga", I'll 100% be limited to a single mag. not always. if a manga like d.gray-man would be your fav manga you could choose between the Weekly Shounen Jump, Jump SQ and Jump SQ.Crown^^ |
| @lady_freyja The second item you mention does have to do with the magazine your favorite manga was published in. If you don't have just one favorite, but a bunch of them, you just have to handpick one from that list and then check which magazine it is. The reason why magazines are included under Creators is because the content of a magazine will be influenced by its editors. It is true that the mangaka creates, but editors and magazines also play a role on what a mangaka's work is like. Some magazines, such a Weekly Shonen Jump, usually feature the same type of manga over and over, so if you liked something features in that magazine, maybe there will be some other manga that you will also like. Hentai is excluded because it features explicit content and this could be a problem for underage participants. @yazio It's like AudioTsunami said. You can only read a LN as a bonus for this challenge and it's supposed to be just one volume. Although the are listed in the database as a manga type, I consider them different and many manga readers are not interested. It is true that they could be allowed for whoever wanted to read them, but I decided not to and that's part of the rules. Which is why I suggested creating another challenge separately for people who were interested. |

| @tsuyokunaru question: what happen when there is a difference between mal and b-u database? akoya tsutaya is tagged horror in baka updates, and i didn't noticed how is tagged here in mal until this moment. |

yurkin said: @tsuyokunaru question: what happen when there is a difference between mal and b-u database? akoya tsutaya is tagged horror in baka updates, and i didn't noticed how is tagged here in mal until this moment. You can make a note of it. For example adding "I'll be using B-U instead of MAL tags" at the beginning of your form or just writing next to the item "tagged horror in B-U" and I'll know what you mean. |

tsuyokunaru said: Does that mean that manhua, manhwa, webmanga, and one-shots are also limited to their specific challenges? If so, it'd be nice to mention it so that people don't make that mistake. @yazio It's like AudioTsunami said. You can only read a LN as a bonus for this challenge and it's supposed to be just one volume.

Which is why I suggested creating another challenge separately for people who were interested. If they aren't, I don't see why stop people from fulfilling a challenge with a LN if they feel like it. After all, even if many people are not interested in LNs, it's not like they are being forced to read them (appart from the bonus challenge). |

| @yazio tsuyokunaru said: 3. "Can I use manhua/manwha instead of manga for regular items too?" -- Yes, you can. 4. "Can I use webtoons and/or ongoing manga?" -- Sure, just remember that if they are ongoing, you must be up-to-date with the latest chapter (either raws, released through scanlation or print depending on what you are using) when you declare your challenge complete. manhua, manhwa, manga, webmanga, comics etc are basically the same (art combined with text) while LNs(/novels) and manga are two different media |
| Is "tomboy" an archetype? |

yurkin said: Is "tomboy" an archetype? Yes ................................................................ |
| So my question is, can 'manhua/manhwa' be uploaded in any of the criteria, or does it have to be a 'manga' ? |
lady_freyja said: Yep, you can use them for any item. That's the Light Novels which are limited to the dedicated item. Thank you very much! (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ |

BACK UP ACCOUNT TILL GOD KNOWS WHEN |
| Hi! I've got some questions regarding the challenge, and I would sure love it if someone could help me out aswering them: -Firstly, is it possible to use a series started before 2016, from which I only read a couple chapters before putting it on hold? For example, I only read 4 chapters out of 32 for Illegal Rare or 17 out of 181 for Sun Ken-Rock. Could they count? -What demographics apply to a 18-years-old guy? Is it still shounen or rather it starts being seinen? -What qualifies for "an author/artist you don't know"? And while I'm at it, can I ask for some recommendations? That would be really nice! |
| @Rokusaru You have to restart the series from the beginning if you are continuing something dropped prior to 2016. I believe it's primarily shounen but 18-19 area I think can choose either demo. I know 21 has to go seinen. For the "don't know" challenge, you have to have not read any work of the mangaka. What do you specifically need recommendations for? I would definitely suggest Crows for any challenge it would fit under though. |
| Thanks for the reply @AudioTsunami AudioTsunami said: What do you specifically need recommendations for? I would definitely suggest Crows for any challenge it would fit under though. I'll definitely check Crows, looks really interesting! As for recommendations I'm definitelly not picky, I'm open to anything. Though I would appreciate help with "a manga adapted from a video game, original anime or light novel" (one that is not merely a watered-down version of the original, if not better), and "a manga that has a main character of gender opposite to the demographic" (not good with these things). Thanks again! |
| @Rokusaru Depending on length you're willing to read those are both p easy. Recs are in order from shortest to longest adapted from video game, original anime, or light novel: Hakushaku to Yousei , Full Metal Panic!, Shingetsutan Tsukihime Female character in Male demographic: Battle Angel Alita,Claymore, Liar Game Male Character in female demo: Donten ni Warau, NG Life, X/1999 |
