We read through all of your great submissions and tried to pick one comment that we thought showcased the manga well for a potential reader. It was really hard! Some of your texts were quite long so you may notice that we snipped them in a few places to make the page easier to read (シ_ _)シ |

| Wow, a lot of great selections; I have no idea what I want to read! Also surprised that we have another Stack Challenge as we are currently wrapping up a couple. Thank goodness we only need to read 2 volumes min. |

| I'm not a manga Fan but after finishing Shadows House Anime i got a bit sad as i wished i could've lived in that Shadowy World for more choudo-yokatta looks like it's a great chance to start that manga! |

AZX said: when I finished season 2 there was a similar feeling. shadows house is the first manga I've read, and it is definitely worth it. besides exploring a lot of fascinating facets of the society, aspects on ways they wield power over the human populace on the island, how the main protagonists are connected, and showcasing kate's backstory, it's also a rare thing in the repertoire – story told in beautiful full color with some of the most astounding art style in the medium.

| Wow finally a reason to read the takopi manga that I bought like a month ago |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I have started reading four of the mangas on the list before March 28, so it's about time to read Blue Lock. ^^ |
 |
| I guess i'll read Sousou no Frieren. The anime is on it's way anyway. |
 |
| Lots of manga on my PTR list is here, guess I'll go with Oshi no Ko. Saving Frieren for later. |

For recommendations you have to give a sufficient reason why to read or watch something for each entry and not only provide information that is already available on MAL. If a normal user made this stack it would get taken down immediately. The fun part is my stack got unlisted for absolutely no reason, then made public again without any change after consulting another mod, then unlisted AGAIN from the same first mod, made public again, then deleted completely from the first mod and then recovered from another mod. All of this without any change to the stack. Mind explaining me who exactly here is struggling with how to interpret the guidelines? And no your stack here does certainly NOT meet the requirements for a public interest stack according to your own guidelines. Public interest stacks... Should NOT: - be based solely on personal opinion (e.g. Must Watch Romance) unless it is an article stack with sufficient persuasion given for each item explaining why it was included. - be based solely on information already available on the anime/manga page. What's the matter Kineta? Getting a taste of your own poison? |
| Do I have to read 2 volumes in each category? |
Rissio said: Nope. The stack contains manga from all categories, so you just need to pick one title from the stack.Do I have to read 2 volumes in each category? Frostwork said: A few of the titles you nominated are on the list :) If you can't remember which they are, you can PM me.Although I see a couple of entries I might have voted for, but I don't think I nominated them. Oh well. |
KinetaMar 29, 2023 1:53 PM
| Well, picking one title to read will be pretty hard, I already see about twenty I'm interested in, and that's just from a quick glance. Seems like a really nice selection ^^ |
 |
| I didn't participate in the voting, but I'm glad to see Ojisama to Neko made the list! If you want something truly wholesome and healing, READ THIS MANGA!!! Some other cool picks here that were on my radar and some that I'd never heard of - I'll have to check out which titles my library has in stock. |

| amazing choices! I bet I'll end up reading like 5. |
My Candies:              |
| I've already read about 40% of the list before the challenge, but I think the choice of manga on the list makes a lot of sense. It's also nice to know that if you read two books, you get a badge. I'm looking forward to trying some of the ones I haven't read yet. |
     |
| This challenge will be interesting, there are many stack titles i haven't read. |
| The 2 volumes requirement, makes me not want to complain about the selection but I have a question: Is dropping fine after reading 2 or more volumes to get the badge? |

Yeah, you can drop it. I really hope you'll find something you like so that you won't need to drop it though orz |
| I'm glad The Fable and Rebuild World are in here, both definitely need adaptation. Now i need to read Oshi no Ko since i have the physical |
| Oh nice, looks like a solid list. I've been meaning to read some of these, like Record of Ragnarok, Kieta Hatsukoi, The Fable, Sasayaku You ni Koi wo Utau, and Raise wa Tanin ga Ii, so I guess I'll start with one of those. Also want to read Dungeon Meshi, Insomniacs After School, and Skip to Loafer but I'll probably wait for their anime adaptations first before doing so. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
You Should Watch This Anime 2023 when??? btw great stack. so many interesting and familiar entries to chose from. |
| Love to to see the inclusion of Witch Hat Atelier! It’s an amazing gem of a manga that I encourage you all to try ^.^ |
 |
| Nice! Some great stuff there. The layout is very pleasing, too. I've had my eyes on Oshimi's new series for a while, sounds like I should jump in. Wish there were a few more entries per category (bring each total to maybe 25 or 30) as some overlap/feature in multiple lists and I'm sad Youkaku no Majoromi didn't make the cut. I will continue to champion Abe Youichi — his manga is totally unique! |
| Did Sousou no Frieren recieve the most votes since it is listed first? I think I'll check that one out, I've been thinking of reading it anyways. |

Yeah, you can drop it. I really hope you'll find something you like so that you won't need to drop it though orz Actually there are more than enough manga that I'm interested, it's just that I rarely read ongoing manga nowadays so my no-brainer choices (=completed manga) may not be that good, though "Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction" is probably really great |
| This stacks is actually some manga that I want to read this year |
 |
| Some of the mangas listed in this challenge stack are already listed in my PTR list. I guess I can't use Akane-banashi since I started reading it a few weeks ago, so that leaves me with Blue Box, 100 Girlfriends, The Fable, Kaiju #8, or Tomodachi Game. I think I'll start with either 100 Girlfriends or Kaiju #8 since those anime adaptations don't have a release date yet. |

kizumi91 said: Basically: Everyone on MAL. Seems like a fun challenge but I have a small question. We asked passionate readers which manga you need to read now—and here are the results! @Kineta Who's passionate readers here?There was a nomination thread a while ago: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2073310 |
  I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
