| Follow up to the 2023 version (boy, its been a long time since the last one, lol!). Rules below: For those who don't know what it is, traditional shiritori is a game where someone starts off by saying a word, and another person follows with a word that starts with the same syllable (in Japanese) or letter (in any country that uses phonetic alphabet) and the game continues that way. In this version of the game though we will be using the later. And finally to add some spiciness to the game, I will had three rules: 1. Has the title implies, the word used must be a manga title (one-shots are OK as long as the data for them is on MAL). In addition, novel, light novels, and manhwa titles are also OK as long as they are on MAL. 2. Players can't use words that end with the same syllable twice in a row (they can still do it every two words though). An exception to this rule is if the title as an alternate last character such as titles ending with a number or character (only applicable in the case where a title starts with the same character, for example user 1 uses title3, if 3 is a usable character for the start of next title, then user 2 can start with 3title or go with the same letter again without breaking the rules). 3. players are allowed to use titles that end with a capital letter, a number, or a symbol, but are required to make research in advance to see if there is another title that starts with the same letter, number or symbol beforehand (so for ex.: if player A starts off with "title3" they are required to make sure there is a manga that starts with the number 3 before posting or else it is invalid and the next player can choose any title they want instead) 4. Finally, players can't use the same title on the same page. For example if post 51 puts up "Edens Zero", then post 94 puts "Edens Zero" as well, that person is penalized and the next person can choose the letter that starts the next book title instead. Penalties for breaking the rules may be given depending on the number of infringement, like waiting x amount of turns before they can return to the game and play (but hey, it's not like I actually have the authority to ban people from thread games so if you feel shameless enough to go back and play before then, go ahead, lol~>:P) Remember to not double post, and have fun everyone!:) I'll start off following the last title: Undead Unluck |

| Yuusha ga Shinda!: Murabito no Ore ga Hotta Otoshiana ni Yuusha ga Ochita Kekka. (There are manga that begin with ".", but you can also choose one that begins with "a.") maybe it will go faster this time. |

|
| ^ Isn't that against the rules, or are we now allowed to end with the same syllable twice in a row? Aishiteru Game wo Owarasetai |
| (For this particular case scenario, since you told me in the past there were mangas that started with ! and users could choose whichever they wanted, I think its fine, but you're right, I should have specified it in the rules, I'll go fix that now).. Inda no Himekishi Janne @Mr_Libra Fixed it! Lmk if it makes sense to you. ^^3 |

| @Klefki_of_Awsome Makes sense to me, but the example is difficult. As far as I know, there's only one manga that begins with "!", but you can't use that because that's the full name of the manga. Here's the link so you can see what I mean: https://myanimelist.net/manga/85868/-?q=exclamation%20mark&cat=manga Ester De Valonia |
| @Mr_Libra Already then, let's just say you can choose the next title since I clearly broke a rule with no way of fixing it. And I'll keep the exception but change the example since there are also no titles that start with ? as far as I know (not that I could find any here on MAL)..^^'3 A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow. (w, . or the letter of your choice for @Mr_Libra) |
|
| Ok, then I'll choose the letter E just so I can use this manga. Exclamation Mark (the English name is fine if I remember correctly, right?) |
| Yes, it is! K-on! (feel free to use n for the next one, lol) |
|
| Lol, good one. Nihon e Youkoso Elf-san. (Should be allowed now.) |
| Yup, you got it! .hack//XXXX |

| I need to read more manga that start with "U"; my list is full of ones that start with "S" and "T." Umarekawatta "Kensei" wa Raku wo Shitai |
| ^Similar situation with I for me, lol, its usually something I but I still put them between my H and J manga in my shelves because its an article (a, the, an, le, l', la, los, etc.) which is usually not kept when talking about titles in library studies. To give an example below: (The) Ideal Sponger Life |
|
| Makes sense, I think my problem could simply be that my list is sorted by Japanese names, where a lot of them start with "S" and "T", and not by English names. Escape From the Daytime Drama |
| Ahh OK, sounds like a lot of work to remember all the Japanese names, lol.. I once had them by author name and even made a new clasisfication system for working with manga author and manga title names to make it easier to classify and find books. Maybe I should try including Japanese titles to the list, lol, but I'm afraid it would get too complex if I did..=v='3 Another (not a fan of this work tbh..) |
|
Another was ok, in my opinion, but I'm not the biggest fan of the horror genre. Rookies (This manga is on my PTR list, but deep down I know I'll never read it, but I like to think I'll read it someday, like most of the manga on my PTR list.) |
| Oh OK, that makes more sense, and regarding favorite series, I get what you mean, I ususally remember those one's Japanese names tbh, as well as those that got an anime since I watch them in JP with ENG Subs. :> I'm OK with some of it, but the scary thing about Another is how gory and traumatizing it is, but then the WORST PART is when you realize its based on a true story.. x'd Sayonara Football (Hahaha, yeah, I want to get through my PTW and PTR Lists but when I can't even catch up to the things I've already started, deep down, I keep thinking I will get to them but know i probably won't..) |
