| i havent thought abt joining this yr since i didnt participate it last yr and i wasnt sure if i might be complete it before the deadline. oyaoya said: Could someone recommend something for #60, please? I don't really mind what kind of manga it is, although I would like something on the shorter side because a lot of the manga I plan on reading are quite long. 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? I recommended this manga Aishiteru uso dakedo it has 4 chaps. |

| @CrashRHCP Since we seem to have a fairly similar taste in manga, I'd recommend Hoshi no Samidare, which is one of my favorites. |
CrashRHCP said: Anyone wants to gimme a rec for number 60? I'll rec back if anyone needs :D The only request I have it's that it's completed and (preferably) under 100 chapters. Sorry I only got one suggestion but judging from the manga we share i'll recommend Ran to Haiiro no Sekai If you would be kind enough as to recommend me something for number 60. |
| Uhh, three recs! :D Thanks guys! I'll keep them all in mind for other categories as well ^_^ As for recs for you guys: @nehnehneji - Oh damn! That's a lot of manga! And only 30 shared! I'll rec you Solanin. Anything by Inio Asano is worth checking out! @Aemiliuz - HOLY S-! O_O Okay, since you rated 20th Century Boys a 10 but you haven't read Billy Bat I'll rec you that one! |

| ^ Hahaha! Must all have been typing at the same time! ^^;;; Many thanks for the recommend @CrashRHCP - if you do get around to reading it, hope you enjoy My Girl :D |
|
| @CrashRHCP Thanks, i was thinking about reading Monster for another category so i'll go with 2 Urasawa this year btw My Girl was recommend to me for last year challenge and it's really good, you should try that one. |
| Hello! I was looking for some reccomendations for #43: read a manga that has a main character that is a professional in his field I'm looking for a series that's completed and not already on this list. Thank you :) I have a couple of ideas for this one myself, if anyone else needs: Monster, City Hunter, One Punch-Man, GTO, Detroit Metal City, Mushishi, Happy! I'm not using these because i've already read them ^^;;;;;;;;;;; |

| When posting the signup form, do I need to choose all the manga beforehand or fill them in as I go? This question also ties to the Anime Watching Challenge. I don't care much about the bingo aspect of the challenge, so I don't know if I'll sign up yet. Either way, reading all 70 will be fun. :3 28. If a manga was adapted into an anime then a live action will it count? |
  |
| @kitii7 thanks I missed that post. |
| Looking for a recommendation for 60. Don't have a preference other than something that's not already on my list. |
| I need help with the following :c 1) read a manga serialized in a shounen magazine --- would something from the manga tags that has the word shounen on it would work? like <shounen magazine (weekly)> 2) read a manga that has a main character of gender opposite to the demographic --- I read about this in the FAQ, but it still got me confused. :c 3) read a manga that is a collection of short stories 4) read a manga that deals with something related to japanese culture 5) read a manga that takes place outside of japan 6) read a manga that another user has read for this challenge 7) read a manga centered around folklore or mythology 8) read a manga recommended to you by another manga reading challenge participant in the discussion thread |
| I've got a question, can I use mangas which is not in the MAL database? I'm doing the challenge with lenght restriction and for #25 (Read a manga that started publishing last year) I found a long manhwa webtoon, but it's only in MangaUpdats database (is it because it's a webtoon?). |

| I am looking for a recommendation for number 60. |
| I don't think that the person that made challenge 32 is sane. I need a recommendation for challenge 06 - Read a gekiga manga. |

| @CreativeJustice You can fill them in as you go. :) For 28, I think it counts. @devilsparade_ 1) How about Deadman Wonderland or Mirai Nikki, both are fairly short. 2) Solanin for a short one, and Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou or Liar Game for long ones. 3) Bus Hashiru., Nickelodeon, Robot. 8) Hoshi no Samidare always. For the other one's I'd recommend looking through what other people have used, because I'm not that familiar with series like that. :s @Martinabjk Yes! MAL tends to have only manga or certain webtoons, but you can use them for the challenge as long as the other criteria are met. |

lady_freyja said: @shirokkuma How about a doctor? The number of readers and the rating are both a shame, it should have much more. People are ranting about BL being unrealistic and all, but when we get a good realistic story about being gay in the middle of the 80s decades with the AIDS crisis, it ends up like this… Oh: and it's a 2 volumes series really, there is no point in reading that manga without reading its sequel. It sounds right up my alley, actually. I tend to get enjoyment out of stories that have some realism to them or that have some historical research behind them. This will be an interesting read. Thank you! |

| Thank you to everyone who gave me recommendations. Those really helped me. devilsparade_ said: 3) read a manga that is a collection of short stories 5) read a manga that takes place outside of japan 7) read a manga centered around folklore or mythology 3. Shiki no Zenjitsu 5. Gunslinger Girl (Italy), GunSmith Cats (USA), Hellsing (UK), Jormungand (around the world), Monster (Central Europe) 7. Nurarihyon no Mago |
| Any manga recommendations someone can give me for #60? Mystery or Thriller would be swell. |
  |
| @lady_freyja Thank you for your explanation, it actually helped me understand :) @henrytg50 and @codingsession Thanks you for your suggestions. They really helped! |
lady_freyja said: devilsparade_ said: 1) read a manga serialized in a shounen magazine --- would something from the manga tags that has the word shounen on it would work? like <shounen magazine (weekly)> Yup. That, and/or every manga that have the "shounen" tag in the genre list. devilsparade_ said: 2) read a manga that has a main character of gender opposite to the demographic --- I read about this in the FAQ, but it still got me confused. :c Basically: When in the genre list you have one of those two tags ; "shounen" or "seinen", and that it uses a female character as the lead. Or when you have a manga with one of those two tags ; "shoujo" or "josei", and that it uses a male character as the lead. Like for example, for that item I plan to read Banana Fish, tagged as "shoujo", but using a male lead character. Does that mean if any of the MCs is of the opposite demographic it'll work or all of the MCs/the lead have to be of the opposite demographic? For example, would Ouran be applicable to this tag? @SilentEvil How about Kimi no Knife? |
  |
Oh, I think I keep starting to read that one before. Perfect for the challenge then haha. Thank you. :) |
|
I got the dreaded task #60 in my card... does anyone have manga recommendations for me? I haven't read many so feel free to recommend your favourite series. Thank you! |
| Any good manga centered around folklore or mythology ? |
 |
lady_freyja said: Kotoneko-chan said: Any good manga centered around folklore or mythology ? Dunno if it will be to to your liking, but for the fantasy/supernatural item, I'm currently reading Ao no Fuuin which is build around the oni yōkai folklore. I enjoy it, but I'm partial since I like the author. It seems good. Thanks a lot ^^ |

Hanzeon said: I don't think that the person that made challenge 32 is sane. I need a recommendation for challenge 06 - Read a gekiga manga. I wanted to make everyone suffer as much as I suffer. For gekiga, Abandon the Old in Tokyo would work. @kitii7 just as @lady_freyja said, I would consider the narrator or the one whose point of view the story is done, so Ouran wouldn't really count. |

| Question: Can I change my bingo pattern? I picked Top Hat because I wanted to read at least 35 manga before I knew about this challenge anyways (to reach the 200 manga milestone) and 39 manga sounded like a good challenge. But I also picked that one because I could easily turn that one into Jar, or even eventually the Full Card if I have enough time after I finish the 39 manga. But can I do that, or am I stuck in the Top Hat pattern? |

Yay! ^_^ pliisetsky said: I got the dreaded task #60 in my card... does anyone have manga recommendations for me? I haven't read many so feel free to recommend your favourite series. Thank you! I feel like reccomending you Solanin, because I think you'd like Inio Asano's works, but I don't want to recomend the same manga twice for two people, so... Koe no Katachi OmegaOtaku said: I have some ones I'll need help with. Preferably something short(ish) for these and translated to english. --#06. Read a gekiga manga --#60. Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant in the discussion thread --#51. Read a manga based on real event or person --#49. Read a manga centered around folklore or mythology --#46. Read a manga that takes place outside of Japan --#02. Read a manga that is a collection of short stories Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks. 51 AND 46 - I'd say Billy Bat, although it's not based in one single real life event, it connects with various, most importantly JFK's assassination, the trip to the Moon and 9/11, but also other stuff like feudal Japan, Michael Jackson's Triller, World War II, Einstein... There's also Adolf ni Tsugu which is based on... well, Adolf. I haven't read this one, though I'm planning for either the 80s or the one outside of Japan one. |

| @Hanzeon @MRC_mod Challenge 32 is not that bad. At least, you know what to expect. I need manga for "43. Read a manga that has a main character that is a professional in his field." Something at least 5 volumes long and preferably finished. |
| For #28 Read a manga that has been adapted to live action, I found one in the club linked to it but can't find any info on a live action version. Would it still count? If not could someone recommend one. |

Tiramisu said: Can someone recommend me something for #60? Preferably 5+ volumes, genre doesn't really matter. How about Tokyo Babylon? The art is quite beautiful. Especially the colored illustrations ;0; |
| |
| So a recommendation I have for people which fulfills having 2MCs of the same gender would be no.6. Its a brilliant story that's only 9 volumes (about 34 chapters j think) long so it wont take you long and I think people would really enjoy it. Note. I'm sure it will fill in other sections but I can't remember what most of them are XD |
