Any manga adapted to CD drama and/or manga based on real person?


The only ones I can think of the top of my head that were Drama CDs are:
Issho ni Gohan - they did an anthology + two volumes.
Diabolik Lovers - It began as a Drama CD series.

@MRC_mod Thank you, after I posted I figured that was the case. I'll probably try to find something else, but I'll keep this option in mind just in case.

Two days ago (or was it yesterday?), I did an Excel to help myself with the Anime Watching Challenge and, since I think it turned up pretty useful, I offered @AWC_mod to share it. After seing that it was ok, they asked me to adapt it for the Manga Reading Challenge and post it here to see if @MRC_mod thinks the same way.

I wrote a complete pdf guide (which is only a page and a half, images included) to explain everything. It's made for the AWC, but the MRC sheets work exactly the same way, so there should be no confusion. I'll also post a quick use guide here if you don't feel like opening it.

With this Excel you'll be able to easily keep track of both your Anime and Manga Challenges, as well as semi-automatically write your posts for the challenge list.


Here's the link to the Excel file.

If you have some doubts about how to use it, you found something which could be improved/added (or you did it yourself), or want to give feedback of some kind, feel free to mention me in this thread. If someone is crazy enough to send me an Excel sheet with all the bingo cards available, I could be crazy enough to automatise the process.

Can anyone recommend me some manga for these challenges:
15. Read a manga serialized in a josei magazine
49. Read a manga centered around folklore or mythology
51. Read a manga based on real event or person

Also, I need confirmation about some of the challenges:
09. Read a manga by a female author/artist <- Is CLAMP eligible for this challenge?
61. Read a manga that another user has read for this challenge <- Does this mean I can pick any manga read by an MRC participant?

Mahoutsukai no Yome is the first folklore/mythology based manga that comes to mind.

Also, can anyone recommend any random manga, for 60? I'll read about anything, as long as it's good.

So excited to be participating in the challenge again, last year's was great! I'm getting my reading list started early, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a manga that's under 10 volumes to read. I'm open to all genres, but I typically read a lot of shoujo and josei because they're short, if that helps.

Thank you, and happy new year!

@Conde_Mohr That actually sounds pretty useful! I'll be adding it to the FAQ as a tool that participants can use. Thank you for sharing this. I may use it myself as well!

@CodingSession Yes, CLAMP would be eligible for the female author item from the challenge list.

My fav' gekiga author is Kazuo Kamimura.
His only manga available with a scan is Lady Snowblood. Well… he did the art, the story was done by someone else.
It's a good action gekiga.

If you're into samurai stuffs, there is the gekiga from Hiroshi Hirata. I know him from reputation, I have yet to read one of his works.

Still action-oriented, but more modern, you have Golgo 13, a cult classic. The scanlation is dropped, but it's episodic anyway.

If you want to try a social gekiga, there is Red Elegy.


Otherwise, Tezuka did some gekiga too, like Ayako, MW and some others.

Throwing out more options here:

Olimpos if you like Greek mythology + it's a quick read.
I wonder if Gugure! Kokkuri-san passes for folklore? It's a 4-koma that feels like a parody on japanese folklore using anime tropes.

I'd recommend to keep looking for it, it's available in manga sites, usually as chapter 0 in the main series page. Other examples are listed in the FAQ :)

I was also having trouble finding manga for #44 (related to Japanese culture) and #29 (not been adapted in any way), does anyone have any suggestions?
