Potter_Arrthur said: Hello fellow participants :) I have came here to ask kindly of you to recommend me a manga/mahua, etc which is already completed and I can find full scanlations for it for the following challenge: Read a manga with children as the main cast Also for this challenge, if possible I want a series on a shorter lenght. Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant And this little bonus challenge : Read a manga based on real event or person Please don't say Mercenary Pierre, I'm already reading that for another challenge. :D Thank you all in advance! Children: Ikoku Meiro no Croisée @tsuyokunaru - this counts right? Recommended by participant: Shigurui Real Person: Innocent isn't fully translated yet, but probably will be before the year is out. This is obviously an alternative |
| @AudioTsunami @Potter_Arrthur Well, this one says that it's on hiatus, so it doesn't seem to be completed. I'm not sure if teenagers can be seen as children. I wouldn't be against someone using it though. Something like Gakuen Alice or Bokurano would work, too but they're longer. As for real person Sayonara Sorcier could work as well. |

| @Berserk I think Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan counts, but I have no idea if you've read it before or not. |

| My list is still looking pretty empty, if anyone could help me fill it up, that'd be great |
| @AyaMiu Takemitsu Zamurai Though i'm not sure if you like historical manga but this one is really worth reading. |
 |
| @ReaperCreeper Thank you for your recommendations! I'll check these out. @yurkin I don't mind it. In fact, I quite enjoy historical manga (at least those that I've read). Thank you! |
|
| So...one-shots actually count?! |
 |
| Just throwing a few titles, not sure if they align with your tastes. AudioTsunami said: My list is still looking pretty empty, if anyone could help me fill it up, that'd be great |

Annuvin said: tsuyokunaru said: So, just wondering but does this apply to series or is every entry in the database considered a separate manga?Each manga can be used once within the challenge. Basically, can I use 8 Umineko titles for 8 different categories? (I know, I know, not very imaginative.) Yes, it works that way for the Anime challenge as well. I used Major for like 9 categories. @lequack I'll check out the mangwha's but I can't read nausica on my phone. The details are just too small and I refuse to get a physical copy. @sooru I'll peak around at the stuff you gave me. |
AudioTsunami said: My list is still looking pretty empty, if anyone could help me fill it up, that'd be great I'm not sure if all of these are to your liking. Some of them can count for other challenges too. |
| hi! can someone recommend a completed (if possible) manga based on a serialized one-shot? thanks <3 (i already read Koe no Katachi) |

| Hey, quick question: How would I know what a webmanga or a 4-koma is just by looking at it in the general manga search, as opposed to going to an individual manga's page and looking there? (The latter is more time consuming and inconvenient...) |
 |
| i don't know how/where you read your manga, but batoto has a nifty search function for both of those. |

| » Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant 10-15 volumes would be nice. » Read a manga that another user has read for this challenge Feel free to recommend the best stuff you've read so far (in this challenge). I know this sounds rather baffling, but does re-reading a manga (the ones I've read 2-3 years ago) count as a new one for the challenge? Basically a lazy way to kill two birds with one stone... |
Kagami_Hiiragi said: Idc if you think its weird, I have a life and friends and an income of money. |
| @Skyz_ You're allowed to re-read stuff for the challenge but the point of the challenge itself is to introduce you to new stuff. So take that for what it's worth. (also there is a re-read category of the challenge). » Read a manga that another user has read for this challenge So far I've read Zero, Innocent(not fully translated yet but should be soon), Jojo part 1(reading part 2 right now and it's better than part 1, Goshiki no Fune, Giganto Makhia, and Virgin na Kankei. None were bad, mostly average. Innocent and Zero were both p good. » Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant Bambino!(15 vol), Bokurano(11 vol), Kokou no Hito(17 vol but worth the extra 2 vol), Ran to Haiiro no Sekai(7 vol) Edit: It's both ongoing and only 7 volumes currently but Amanchu! is excellent and it's by the same girl that did Aria and Aqua which you read, so that might be something that you'd be interested in. |

| @The_Misanthrope Yes. Different DB entries of a franchise can count towards different challenges. This can be sequels or spin offs. You ask for a rec, but do you mean a one shot with less than 100 pages or a manga with less than 100 chapters? |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
The_Misanthrope said: Yes sorry my bad, i meant less than 100 chapters. OK! I'd recommend Marie no Kanaderu Ongaku or Pluto |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
The_Misanthrope said: Thank you, i think i'll go for Marie no Kanaderu Ongaku since i am a fan of romance. Just a warning, it's not really a romance and certainly not a traditional one. I think it is mistagged. It's real real good tho. |
| I was wondering... About the " Read a manga that has a main character that is a professional in his field" challenge, exactly what kind of professions should be considered valid? I mean, what if the protagonist is a "magical law executor"? Of course there's no such thing in the real world, but in the universe of that manga the MC would be considered a professional with his own business. I'm asking this because the examples provided in the form are all actually existing professions like teacher, scientist and artist, but there's this manga about a "magical law executor" that I really want to read for this challenge, since I've already planned out almost all of the others :D |

Usually an expert is a person with a lot of experience and/or some kind license. To be sure, it's better if you ask to the one who made up the challenge. The MC has his own business and office, and the co-protagonist is his assistant. They deal with magic/demon/spirit-related issues. I think it's similar to Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, but maybe not exactly the same thing. The point is: is "magical law executor" (or "magic lawyer", or whatever they call him) considered a valid profession even if it's not existing in the real world? :P |
tsuyokunaru said: @Kella it counts as long as he makes money or receives some kind of payment which makes him a professional in the field. It doesn't matter if the profession doesn't exist outside of the manga. Okay, thank you for the clarification! I'll start reading and see what to do with it ahah |
| A general post to announce that the FAQ at the start of the discussion post has been updated with more questions and with an explanation on how to use Baka-Updates. Thank you @AudioTsunami for the help! Anyone may answer questions using the FAQ answers or you can direct participants to the FAQ. If you think anything else should be added, please suggest! Also, I want to apologize for being so slow to get to the completed turn in posts in the last month, but a few stuff has come up. I'll try to get to all the pending ones this weekend. |

| i still have problems with some challenges hence i'm looking forward to your recommendations :) » Read a manga that started serialization the year you joined MAL: » Read a manga that focuses on non-romantic relationships: » Read a manga with children as the main cast: » Read a manga that is tagged with a genre you dislike: i don't rly have a genre i dislike... depending on the (ability of) the mangaka/author i could like/hate every manga but i won't judge the genre itself. the only possibilities i can think of would be certain combinations of genre (like school+magic <- i usually don't read manga with these genre since most of them just copy each other (seemingly) but even in this case there are exceptions like mahouka..) or genre that are listed in DB but which i wouldn't count as genre (like shounen, dementia,..) » Read a manga with an archetype as a main character: » Read a manga that has been adapted to live action: i'd like to use Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso for this challenge but the live action movie will air in september.. does it have to have an (aired) adaption when i start/finish the challenge or when i submit the turn-in form? » Read a manga from the recently reviewed list: similar question: could i simply choose a recently reviewed manga (, include the permalink to the review) and submit my participation in december? » Read a manga series you can finish in one day: any limit to the length? » Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant: just to be sure: if i get more recommendations than i need for the asked challenges, could i use one of the other suggestions for this challenge or do i have to specifically ask for this challenge? tsuyokunaru said: If you think anything else should be added, please suggest! how about adding "Can I use one-shots for the challenge?" |

You can use anything recommended to you by a challenge participant I would think. tsuyokunaru said: If you think anything else should be added, please suggest! how about adding "Can I use one-shots for the challenge?" One-shots are looped into everything beside LNs. |
| @AudioTsunami thanks a lot! now i've almost completely planned everything^^ |
| Hello hello! I was wondering if someone really nice could recommend me a manga to read... As long as it is completed, everything is fine! (In exchange I also can help someone if needed) |

| I'm lacking motivation to catch up on manga I barely started at the end of last year, if I restart them from chapter 1 can they count towards the challenge? I was only about one volume into both mob psycho 100 and nanatsu no taizai and forgot what was happening in them really, so restarting them might give me more incentive. |

"Is re-reading allowed?" -- Yes, you may re-read a manga you previously read but we invite you to use that time to read something you haven't read yet. Re-reading is mandatory if you want to pick up something again that you started last year or before and didn't finish. Hazuru said: Hello hello!

| one "old" question: » Read a manga that has been adapted to live action: i'd like to use Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso for this challenge but the live action movie will air in september.. does it have to have an (aired) adaption when i start/finish the challenge or when i submit the turn-in form? @tsuyokunaru and one new question: » Read a manga adapted from a video game, original anime or light novel: i'd like to read this manga but it's based on a web novel. there is a LN as well but it was released only about a month earlier. is it still okay to use the manga for this challenge? |
| @Simar the live-action must have aired before you can declare the challenge completed (with the turn-in form) otherwise it won't count towards the item. As for the web novel, I think it can count as a light novel (and it was published as one) so sure, you can read that. |
