And as stuff in the hentai tag can't be substituted for ecchi, I'm gonna say you can't substitute the other 2 either. |

Hey there! I signed up for a medium challenge but life intervened. Could I possibly switch to an Easy challenge? |

Just edit the difficulty and complete just the number of categories required for easy. My advice would be to leave all the categories open as if you were doing hard, then once you fill 20, just delete all the excess. And who knows, there is still 5 months left so you could still take a shot at medium if you read shorter series. Good Luck! |

Thanks! I prefer it's not a oneshot. Hmm.. well I can still think of two things : - I saw "I am a hero" in your "plan to read", so maybe you could try reading the spin-off I am a Hero in Osaka ? It could give you a sort of preview of the original manga and the overal "mood" of it (the characters are not the same, so no risk of spoiling). - I know it's a one-shot (and very short), but still, there is Bakemono Recchan (I saw it's in your plan to read aswell). Asano always deliver after all. Good luck with your manga searching. |

Dhaldot no Akujiki Musume is a uh,,,"two-shot" But other than what the guy above named and Dhaldot, all I can suggest is going to mangaupdates.com, picking a genre you like, sorting by year, going to wherever 2015 starts and just checking every title to see if it's completed and sounds interesting and is translated. It's an ardous task, but sometimes that's the price we pay for working against so many factors to find something(time, availability, translation, ect) |

When I came to the forum searching for this thread, I looked back and forth, scrolling the page, only to see that it wasn't there, but on the second page.. I don't understand why this thread isn't in the sticky section. It kind of made me sad to be honest, because I think here is quite a wonderful place to exchange about manga and our reading progress and all. It shouldn't be only to ask for recommendation but also to have a little reading community enjoying the challenge together, or something. I really value this place for that. (Maybe it's because nobody read manga in summer vacation ? ^^ who know..) So, I come back from finishing reading Subaru, and it was an extremely enjoyable read. Really. I thought about doing a review of it, but I know it would be very exausting to do considering the amount of stuff that could be said about it. So, in short (not so short, but well..) - when I started it and was reading the first volumes, the manga gave me the feeling like if it was a sort of "Naoki Urasawa do a Shoujo manga" (huhu), both in art style and way of doing the story and the characters. But the more it went, the more I felt the distinctive style of the author (Masahito Soda), and especially in his mastering of panelling and composition, working hand in hand with a very well crafter rythm (I would dare to say that the mangaka even kind of surpass Urasawa in those peculiar points). - Without spoiling, the manga start as a real tragedy, and use it as the power-driving for the all manga after, launching it, while in other manga it would have typically be used as a middle or final difficulty to overcome for the main character or something like that. I thought this was very clever and impactful to do it the way it was done in this manga. - Subaru is a perfect "sport manga in disguise" , it gave me the same kind of vibe than when I was reading Bambino for the challenge last year. It have the specificity of the genre, would it be the ridiculously over the top reactions of people looking at the amazing skill of the main characters, or the furious intensity of certain moment, depicted like if there was a true "mind battle" going on. - I like atypic characters, and Subaru is a very interesting one. She isn't made to be the perfect earnest super-hero-like character. She is selfish, annoying and act like a brat, she is emotional but cold as ice with most people... in one word : an interesting and difficult to grasp character, and that too make the manga woth reading. - the ending is completely flat, but that's because it's only the first part of the actual manga serie, continuing with MOON (and I will surely read it in the future, if possible soon). But the travel in itself is completly worth reading, so it's clearly not a big problem. - I don't have any affinity with classical dance/ballet (and I still don't.. but I do like to go see contemporary dance sometime), yet it didn't had any impact on my appreciation of this manga. That's when you recognize a sport manga done right: no matter the subject, it manage to be fully enjoyable, entertaining and engaging, giving you that "what will happen next; will she/he be able to do it" feeling. I usualy dislike any kind of competition in real life, but when I read a sport manga that make me bypass that, I know it's doing what it does the right way. Anyway, I hope we'll see more comment in the thread during this summer, because it kind of is the only real place to have civilized conversation about manga, here in the forum of MyAnimeList. huhu |

I'm finally back. Sorry for the wait to everyone who's had their completed challenge for review. I had a computer problem and couldn't be back until now. Lots of thanks to @AudioTsunami for doing such a wonderful job helping out with the discussion questions. @Dullboy This year it was decided to be left without sticky because the sticky posts are usually rules and the challenges don't fall into that category. Since the challenge posts are more popular this year, they're usually on the first page anyway and you can go to the discussion thread by the link on the challenge thread if you can't find it anywhere else. The manga discussion thread is way more quiet than the anime counterpart. Subaru sounds interesting! I had never heard about it or seen it before. I'll try to check it out. |

Slightly odd question: Can i add a category like epic poem or something similar for the Read a manga adapted from a video game, original anime or light novel challenge? While browsing for some new manga I found Dante Shinkyoku, which is, as you might have guess, a manga adaptation of Dante Alighieri's classic work The Divine Comedy. I'm asking this only because we can use novels for the anime challenge and it's not that often that you have such a highly regarded work as the source material. |

@AudioTsunami, @dream_eater1012 Thank you both! So, I think I'll read Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan for this challenge (looks like every manga-reader on this site has already read it except me..), and Kamisama ga Uso wo Tsuku for another challenge I still have to complete. Thanks~ |

If I recall correctly, if you started a manga before you posted the challenge, it may be used to fill the item, but only if it was in 2016. If you started them in 2015, they can't be used. In the LN department, one volume is enough. |

Hey I have a question about the bonus challenge stuff. It might sound stupid but one of them was to catch up to a long running manga with 300+ chapters. I read bleach, is it still count? because the manga finished. |
Aug 29, 2016 4:44 AM
#735
Did you catch up before or after it finished? |

I don't really know, but I thought it had to be ongoing by the time you finished the challenge. |

So for "Start and catch up to an on-going long-running (300+) series" I was planing on reading Magi. But it might end before I end up "catching up" with it. Would it still count for this challenge? |
Aug 30, 2016 7:59 PM
#740
@TakeruChan @Brand Well, it was supposed to be on-going until the time you finished the challenge, not necessarily until the end of the year. I'll only count it if it's still being scanlated. It's just a bonus challenge, but I know there are completionists out there. Let me think about it for a little longer to see if there's a way to get around it. I guess using dates would help, but I'm not sure... Let me think about it for a couple of days. Sorry. @momokusheila they're pushing the chapter count, but what about Sakamichi no Apollon or Prunus Girl? |

@tsuyokunaru Thanks. I guess I should have started on that one sooner rather than later. But it was my only real pick for this one when I choose my reading material in the beginning of the year, and did not know it was going to end. LOL. Of course I choose the one that is going to end this year. I was hoping to actually get through the whole manga challenge twice this year. Ha ha, that isn't going to happen. >_> I've been busy really! Though I think I took on both longer anime and manga this year then I did last year. @JankesS You really liked another Usamaru Furuya so my rec would be Genkaku Picasso. I loved it and it is only three volumes long. |

@Brand Yeah, I've been crazy busy lately and also have tried to tackle longer stuff and has taken me so long! By the way, is Genkaku Picasso completely scanlated? I've been trying to find that and Usamaru's version of No Longer Human but I have only found incomplete versions. @5shin What about Hoshi no Samidare? |

@tsuyokunaru Not sure, but both of those series got an English releases. Genkaku Picasso from Viz and it is still pretty much cover price. No Longer Human is sadly OOP and expensive (though I think it still shows up at that one discount booth at anime cons sometimes). I lucked out, I bought it when I still bought when it was new. At a time when I pretty much bought everything Vertical released. I just didn't get around to reading it till this year. |
