| Can anyone recommend me good and preferably short (30 chapters or less) manga with female lead? And manga which focuses on non romantic relationships? |

| I too would like some "non romantic relationships stories" recommendation . It's something I was always kind of looking for : I would be very interested if it could be a story about a group of people , not "blood related", becoming a familly . I find those stories to be very touching and heartwarming . I can't really find good exemple of what I mean by that in manga...but for anime , think about this feel looking at the characters of "Cowboy bebop" or "Samurai Champloo" as the story progress : it's not a "strong friendship" that you can feel in their interaction , but truly a "family bond" one (If you have watched those anime , you'll understand what I mean) . Now if this could be the focus of said manga (in the slice of life department I guess then) , That would make it . |

mayukachan said: Honey and Clover ha yes , this one...but isn't it focused on the romance aspect more , isn't the "love triangles" and complicate "Friend/Lover" problems (If there is some in the manga , that is) the main focus ? If no then yes I should consider reading it . |

tsuyokunaru said: thx for the recommendation, i just finished and it was awsomeI read All You Need is Kill for Favorite Artist (no regrets, the art is awesome!) but I wonder if someone else has read it? I found out there is a movie based on the same concept (because of the LN). Also I'll be taking recommendations for the "Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant" now so help me out! My list so far! |

FlameWingman21 said: I would like to recommend Ashita no Joe for anyone that wants old, shounen, sports, and good manga. I don't even like boxing in real life. I found it really boring but the fights in this manga are amazing. I haven't finished it yet but it won't be very long before I finish it since it's that awesome. I've finished it. Glad I picked it. Everything's perfect. I order everyone here to read it. |

Sounds tempting enough to be my "Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant" or "➤Read a manga that another user has read for this challenge", I think I'll steal make Ashita no Joe part of my list den -3- Plus, Ohba Tsugumi and Obata Takeshi openly said it's a masterpiece.

Ana- said: It was one of the first manga I've listed in what I would read, then I got spoilt. HARD. I got interested in it when it as mentioned in Bakuman, so I'll definitely read it some day, but I also got spoiled because of a reference in a video game so I'm in no rush now. @5000man I'm glad you enjoyed it! Did you ever see the movie? I didn't and I probably won't but I asked because |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
| @FlameWingman21 I'll be a fangirl and admit that I only cared about Dragon Ball and Ashita no Joe after I read Bakuman! I can definitely see the appeal of masculine manga now. Otoko no Roman can be very touching. High five, fellow One Piece & Bakuman fan :D |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
| Ana- : consider the following : the author of Ashita no Joe himself didn't gave a clear answer about the ending , which is done in a way that it is a ambiguous one , left to interpretation (it was changed a lot of time before becoming this one also , so I heard) . Beside , what matter a lot more is the travel to that point , and if you haven't been spoiled about some of the major even that come around the middle of the manga , you really should think about reading it . I'm about to finish "Angel Densetsu" (I took it for "comedy manga") , and to that point I liked it more than Claymore (not the same genre I know , but still same author) . It is the first work of the author and you can feel it (very interesting to see how his style progressed through the volumes also) , it have some flaws for sure , but the funny situations and characters make up for it . I would recommend it for a "shonen type" comedy manga . |

Otoko no Roman is always good. Watching men in sweat fighting for their lives increased a good amount of our adrenaline. |

I can think of Barajou no Kiss and Ouran High School Host Club but I haven't read either one so I wouldn't be able to say how good they are. Also the challenge isn't really only for people who are starting out, it's pretty much for anyone who would like to participate and complete it. |

Well I'm not sure about completed ones, but Akatsuki no Yona and Oresama Teacher are pretty good. They're still ongoing. I guess Beauty Pop could count as a reverse harem. Maybe. |

| So question, I've read almost everything from my favorite author and all that remains are one shots/doujinshi. Can those count for "➤Read a manga by your favorite author/artist"? Or is it supposed to be a multi-chapter thing? If the latter is the case, can I change that challenge with something else? |

Yeah, any work by that author (as long as it's a manga and not illustrations for something) can count, though I'd prefer if you didn't use doujinshi unless they're 'officially' associated with a series, so they should have a MAL entry, for example. Multi-chaptered manga is not a requirement for any item. |

tsuyokunaru said: you should really watch the movie, its completely different from the manga, but i hated the way the movie ended, i''m not gonna spoil it for you but the manga ending was better, i also agree that the romance in the movie made no sense, but it's still a good movie with great action scenesI'm glad you enjoyed it! Did you ever see the movie? I didn't and I probably won't but I asked because many people criticized how the romantic sub-plot was dealt with in the manga in opposition with the movie. A posted in another forum said that he couldn't justify Keiji's feelings for Petra since they didn't know each other enough for romantic feelings to exist. Do you have an opinion on this? Since I didn't see the movie, I can't compare, but I think that these feelings are possible even in such short development. Also what do you think it's the center theme in the story? |

I think I'll use it for "manga that has a main character of gender opposite to the demographic" , since it's tagged shounen and it have female leads...it can work like this , right ? ( *tsuyokunaru bell ringing* ^^) . |

mayukachan said: Thanks how is it compared to the anime? Didn't watch it and also not planning to watch it. Me and old anime don't suit with each other. |
| reading Pluto counts for the "Read a manga that has a main character that is a professional in his field (doctor, detective, embalmer, etc)" since the robot is a detective right? |
 Look alive sunshine! The future is bulletproof The aftermath is secondary Its time to do it now and do it loud Killjoys! Make some noise! |
| "Read a manga with children in it" Does Hourou Musuko count? |
mayukachan said: "Read a manga with children in it" Does Hourou Musuko count? That's the one I'm planning to read LOL so yes |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |

| Actually I just realized I don't have the children item, I am planning to use it for non-romantic relationships, but it would still count for you. |

That's the one I'm planning to read LOL so yes tsuyokunaru said: Actually I just realized I don't have the children item, I am planning to use it for non-romantic relationships, but it would still count for you. But...Hourou Musuko is about romantic relationships...or at least it hold a great importance in it...(very complicate ones because of the issues and questionning about gender identity , that's the main point) . You should just replace one of your item with "Read a manga with children in it" , I don't see the problem with that as long as you'll have 25 item for your list , president tsuyokunaru ^^ . In any case , it's a very good choice , I can only talk for the anime version , but it impressed me with how it was talking about difficult subjects with a lot of delicacy . |

| I thought Hourou Musuko is more focused on gender identity and friendship. At least, that's the impression I got from the three volumes I've read from it so far. |

Yeah, I'll have to agree with mayukachan, I read a few volumes of it before (I'll be re-starting) and although romantic feelings or yearn for them was present, to me it was about friendship moreso than romantic relationships. |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
| I have a question, could I use NOiSE for "read a debut manga"? Also if anyone has any general recommendations, I have that item as well, thanks. :) |
