| Hello! I just finished preparing my sign-up post. I look forward to completing the challenge along with earning the banner for completion. :) |

I began in February and now I have only seven more to read to complete the challenge. The thing is, during these three months, I managed to complete just one anime film and two, maybe three medium-length games. If I were to spend more time on things unrelated to the chalenge, the number of finished titles would have been much smaller. Either way, good luck on your journey! |
| Just finished my first entry yesterday. Kinda regret not having started this months ago. Looking forward to reading some great manga. :) EDIT: anyone have a recommendation for the "read a recommendation" category? |

I really need that good luck considering I also participate in Anime Watching Challenge and have only finished one. How nice you can take it easy now. |
| ...and I just realized I didn't read the rules correctly and didn't have only 25 categories. Oops. Let's try that again. |
FlameWingman21 said: I have read Medaka Box until chapter 21. It's quite boring so far. Can someone convince me to go on? I'm also reading Medaka Box. Only the male character's cute design is making me go on, but it's so dialogue heavy that 20 pages feel like 50! I'm reading Nodame Cantabile at the same time and breezing through it sob. I'm just holding on because my sister told me there are awesome fights in it. @sddsdd good you noticed the rule, otherwise I would've messaged you about it. |

Bad news for me if the redeeming quality it has is only the fights. Bleach has many epic fights in it and I still feel bored with it. I guess I'll read another stuff at the same time, too. |

Hello, everyone. I signed up for themanga challenge a couple of days ago, it's a nice way to motivate yourself to read new titles. The thing is, I'm not really into older titles even though I've read a few in the past so I'd like some help with this category➤Read a manga published before the 90s Recommend anything you like :) |

| Hey, does anyone have a rec for 1. a manga about non romantic relationships 2. a manga focusing on kids (i know it says with children in it, but it feels cheap to have anything less than a child protag) 3. a manga about food I've taken this challenge as kind of a way to read some longer manga, so I'm open to longer suggestions, and would prefer to get some though I'd prefer if they were finished publishing (if they aren't finished publishing you can still chuck them in for when I'm done the challenge though). |
| 3: Bambino! It's finished. It is 15 volumes long but I plowed through it in a couple of nights. Very entertaining. |
| Thank you for the suggestions. I'll take a look at Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou and Bambino, they both look pretty interesting. Yotsuba... I'll have to think about whether I'm going to read it for the challenge (I very well might), but I'll definitely read it at some point. |
| Anybody would care to tell his/her advancement in reading ? If some hidden gem or very good manga were found ? Some little "short review" to share ? I know I completed the challenge already , but most peoples that come here are interesting persons so I would like to see more post to read ^^ . (what about you , tsuyokunaru ?) |

➤Read a manga that starts with the same first letter as your username (A) http://myanimelist.net/manga/1695/Adolf_ni_Tsugu Read a horror, sci-fi OR fantasy manga http://myanimelist.net/manga/11694/Jigoku_no_Komoriuta http://myanimelist.net/manga/7404/Panorama_of_Hell ➤Read a manga about music http://myanimelist.net/manga/145/Beck ➤Read an award-winning work http://myanimelist.net/manga/745/Pluto Hope I helped. |

| I am not signed to the challenge, but I visit this thread for recommendations a lot, and I've noticed that some people were looking for a manga that is based on a work of another medium. I'd highly recommend Tsumi to Batsu - A Falsified Romance, based on "Crime and Punishment" by Dostoyevsky. It's good but not too well-known. Just, you know, maybe it'll help someone with this tricky entry. |
| So I have a question. I'm currently reading Higurashi Tsumihoroboshi Hen, and after that I'll read the only one left for me - Matsuribayashi Hen. Can I add both of them in my list for different challenges or should I treat them as a one series? |

Just as Dullboy says, the rules are not supposed to be that strict, but if it has two separate entries, I think it's safe to call them two separate manga and therefore you can use them in two different items. Thanks Dullboy for helping out! I was a little away due to work and school stuff, but I'm less busy now. I'll keep better track of things. I've been a little bad at keeping up with my own challenge. Actually I still need to pick some stuff, so I might drop by to ask for some recs soon. |

| ^ Nice MatijaxD (what did you think of Sumire by the way ?) say , I looked at some of the manga you readed for the challenge , some looks quite interesting but I would like to have your opinion and overall feel about them , to really decide if I should read them , maybe . I'm thinking about those : "Kamisama no Iutoori" , "Saikyou Densetsu Kurosawa" and "Dragon Head" |

| Hello, I just saw the sign-up thread yesterday and I feel like this challenge will motivate me to read more manga and thus I'll make my sign-up form in the evening. I got 1 question - do I add titles I've finished before I sign-up ? (of course started after 1st of January) |

If you want to read more, and have time, you could also start from scratch.. :) |
aqualiv said: Hi, I have a question. I just found a manwha that fits the "Read a manga that you can relate to yourself" category, but since it's a manwha, will it count? Or will I have to put it in the "read a manwha" category? Manhwa can be used for other categories, but only for one at a time.. :) |
| wow thanks a lot MatijaxD , I didn't intended to make you write that much , I hope it wasn't a bother , I don't know how much time it took you to write . MatijaxD said: I think the same .I enjoyed Sumire it was a really fun manga. But I think it would be better if it was a little shorter, it was a bit repetitive at times and some characters where slightly annoying. The ending was nice ;~; what you said is really helpfull , I think I'll read the first two , it does look good and it would fit for me (especially Kurosawa) . On the other hand I was planning to read Dragon head but now I think I wont ^^ . I trust what you say about this , and characters like that are a huge turn off for me , so it's a no (maybe I'll still check out of curiosity , but it's definitly not a priority now) About Annarasumanara , well the thing is I tried it for the challenge in fact (up to chapter 8 , if I recall)...but I didn't liked it and stopped . I think I'm going to look like a sad person and very harsh (but don't think too much about it) , but I felt like it was demagogic , that it tried to "please the reader" . And that's something I really can't deal with and make me feel annoyed and a little angry . It's the same feeling I have while reading "Koe no katashi" (and I know a lot of people like it a lot , gonna make enemy ^^) or "Onani master Kurosawa" (but less , I still like that one) . Maybe I'm the one at fault , or it's my personality but it really is a "no" for me . MatijaxD said: As a matter of fact , I just happened to read the first volume of "Sunny" today , and it was great . I consider Taiyou Matsumoto to be "the master of the melancolic feel" , and this manga is typicall him in every way , but it had a brightness , a sort of warm feeling that didn't showed that much in his other work . I heavily recommend it .I need to read some Taiyou Matsumoto's manga MatijaxD said: For me it's definitly "Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou", "Gunslinger Girl" and "Homonculus" (but I really liked "Sakamichi no Apollon" too) .Which manga stand out from the ones you read for the challenge? - Yokohama is the most relaxing and calm manga on this planete earth, but it never felt boring . It was like settle down a little , and watching what's around , all the sensation , feeling and thoughts . - Gunslinger Girl was a big surprise , and if it wasn't for the fact that the last volumes were bellow , I would have considered giving it a 9 . It's hard to explain it , but it's also a very unique manga by the fact that it took place in Italia and there is zero japanese character or reference (as far as I recall) . It have some really interesting thoughts about what is a relationship between two people . Who is the master or the slave/servant ? what define them ? Can feelings and affection that were manipulated to exist turn "real" ? How to know ? What is the difference between a terrorist that work for a cause and a governement agency that kill ? Who is "good" or "bad " ? And so on... - I already talked about Homunculus in the thread not so long ago , but just so you know , I readed the 15 volumes in one day , so , I think I might have liked it at least a little ^^ |
