| @lubryka Good question, although I think there are multi-volume compilations out there, I'm not sure what the availability of them is and I don't want to make that item impossible so no, the length restriction won't apply to that one. I'll make a note of which ones it won't apply to on the challenge list later. |

So recommend me any manga for #60, since I probably haven't read it. :( Since you seem to like Dragon Ball and Fullmetal Alchemist, I'd recommend stuff like Hoshi no Samidare, Hunter x Hunter, Yuu Yuu Hakusho, which are all adventure manga that I really like. Ah, thank you. I think I'll go with Hoshi no Samidare. Any manga adapted to CD drama and/or manga based on real person? |

| hi ! I need a recommendation for #60 please ! ; _ ; also, I wanna donate some banner for anime & manga challenge, how can i do it ? |
  |
| @lady_freyja Jesus Christ, 17 volumes of trap one-shots. I think I'll pass. Definitely. Actually, there's another manga that could apply for this challenge (MAL treats each volume as a separate title): Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection. 16 volumes. Also completely scanlated. There's also Zero-Sum Original Anthology Series Arcana - 16 volumes. However, it's again separated into 16 different manga titles and it's not completely scanlated. |
| @lady_freyja @lubryka The only ones I know are Robot and Gelatin and some BL one I can't remember the name of and I'm not sure if they are available in scanlations or print or what haha, so yeah I think it's safe to still keep it outside of the length requirement. Also thanks for looking over the short description. |

I don't really know your opinion about Comedy, Slice of Life, etc., so here are two manga I know were adapted to CD drama: Prunus Girl and Waratte! Sotomura-san, maybe one of them will be to your liking. :) Astia said: hi !

Based on a quick look at your manga list, I'd recommend reading Isshuukan Friends. For donating banners, I think you just post them here and tag MRC_mod. Same in the anime challenge, just tag AWC_mod in that discussion thread. :) |

It was a quick read for me because, while I'm not too into mysteries, the nature of the manga being of a dark psychological crime story really sucked me in. |

| @Astia Thank you very much for the banners! They have been added to the banner collection on the sign up thread. |

| Another question/ issue: When looking for a title for "32. Read a manga with a score of or below 6.0 in MyAnimeList" I've discovered that there are only 3 titles (well, practically 2) that meet the length restriction: 0/6 (completely translated), Sayuri Hime (ongoing sccanlation), and Flag Fighter (untranslated). Could it be possible to exclude this challenge from the length restriction, too? |
| @lady_freyja wow Zankoku na kami storyline sounds really interesting! Thanks for the recommendation! |
 |
| For #50, I found these lists of manga that aim towards the Female Demographic with a Male Lead and the Male Demographic with a Female Lead if anyone needs suggestions for that challenge (._.) |

It would have been a great suggestion if I hadn't already read it, I do agree though it is a really great manga. I really enjoyed it. |

I'll make a note of which ones it won't apply to on the challenge list later. These are the scanlated multi-volume short story compilations I know, if anyone - for some reason - wants to do the challenge with as many volumes as possible. Josou Shounen Anthology Comic (17 vols) K-On! Anthology Comic (5 vols) Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch Koushiki Comic Anthology For Boys - Queen (5 vols) Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch Koushiki Comic Anthology For Girls - Knight (5 vols) <5 Nickelodeon (3 vols) Cigarette Anthology (2 vols) [es] - Eternal Sisters (2 vols) Haruhi Comic Anthology (3 vols) Ameiro Kouchakan Souwa: Lilyca (3 vols) |
| @lubryka I think I may just raise it from 6.0 to 6.5 for that item. Hopefully people will try to check back on the list as time goes on since there might be some changes. I added it like that originally to match the anime challenge, but I think the ratings in manga are somewhat different. Would you mind checking if there's more titles available with 5+ volumes after that 0.5 score difference? Sorry for the trouble. |

| Can someone give me a few recommendations for Nr. 60? No Romance or Slice of Life and under 30 chapters. Aside from that, hook me up with whatever you've got. |
  |
| Hello everyone ! Happy to participate in the challenge again. I was quite surprised at that new "Bingo" formula thing, but even if doing the list feel a little more tedious than last years, it's a refreshing idea. I already started doing my "plan to read for the challenge list" on my profile, but there is a lot left to fill, so I'm sure I'll be comming here to ask for some helps. And I'll also be very happy to help for recommendations, while posting time to time when I'll have read a very good manga I would like to talk about (and suggest to others for specific items, for exemple). |

| @Dullboy that's really what we were going for, trying to refresh the system a little. We know it can be daunting at first and overwhelming to fill out the forms, but hopefully people will feel a tiny bit more accomplished once they're done. @MemeAlchemist what do you mean with the case with ongoing manga? If you're curious as to being able to use it for the challenge, yes you can use it as long as you're up to date with the latest released chapter of that manga once you turn in your challenge as completed. |

| Anyone have any idea if these cursed half human half animal character in Totsukuni no shoujo part of any mythology? That cursed half-humans seem to be most fitted with Irirsh mythology of "formorians." What do you guys think? Formorian : Formorians were extremely strange and grotesque looking. Some accounts describe them as being a mixture of various animal heads and body parts. They are often portrayed as hostile and monstrous beings who come from the sea or underground. similarities: they are really weird looking with head of baphomet,lion's hair on back of the head,face of crow,tail of lizard,body of baphomet but bird-feathers etc.  |

| Joining a manga challenge for the first time... :D I got #60, too. Fellow participants, any recommendations? |
 |
| My first challenge it's the #8 (Read a manga by one of your favorite authors/artists),and i've read ''Wanted'' from Eiichiro Oda,but i do have too the challenge #2 (Read a manga that is a collection of short stories),so...i've read this 'cause it was from one of my fave authors,but only after that i realized that was a short-stories collection,so it's that a problem if i catalog this on the challenge #8? |
 |
| @SaneSavantElla 1. Akatsuki no Yona - romance/action 2. Annarasumanara - psychological 3. Onanie Master Kurosawa - psychological/school 4. Suiiki - seinen/slice of life 5. Ore to Akuma no Blues - psychological 6. Horimiya - romance/comedy |

You can choose whatever manga for the challenges as long as it fits the criteria, for example, if you read a shounen manga intending to use it for the shounen challenge, and later you realize it also has been adapted to a CD drama, you could use it for either one. |

| |
| I got #2 (read a manga that is a collection of short stories) as one of mine and was wondering if I could read Massive (NSFW-ish link) for that one? It's not in the MAL database but it is a collection of short stories. If not I have other things I could read too, but I really wanted to ask about this one. Sorry, this is my first challenge so please forgive me if this is a dumb question. |
  |
| @Nekoutsu You should put something like "Seemingly inspired by Formorians from Irish Folklore" next to your entry and I'll count it. The explanation/evidence you gave above is very convincing. @letsgomeisei It's not a dumb question at all. I'm just on the fence because the book you're liking to is listed as English-language anthology so I wonder if I should count it or not, but then there are indeed manga shorts inside by Japanese creators. Well, I just found it on Baka-Updates [link] so link to that on your form and I'll count it. @lubryka I checked myself a bit ago and even with the 0.5 difference the availability of completely scanlated/published series is very scarce, so I followed your previous suggestion and made it exempt from the restriction. I also took it back down to 6.0 |

| I have a question about something on the challenge list. #20 says: Read a manga published between the 1970s and the 1980s - For this and the next three items the manga must have been completely published during the decade. What does it mean by "items?" Is it saying the next three manga I choose for the challenge need to have been published in the 70s? Or is it something else? It's probably really obvious, I should get more sleep haha |

deideiblueeyez said: Need a rec for a manga. Gimme something--anything--psychological and messed up. Preferably not hentai, but I'm willing to read yaoi, yuri, het, or non-romantic things, but people have to suffer and I'd prefer it be more focused on the inside than the outside, you dig? How about MPD Psycho? That's quite fucked up. https://myanimelist.net/manga/740/Tajuu_Jinkaku_Tantei_Psycho?q=mpd%20py |

lady_freyja said: @ClavisM Maybe you could check Baptism. It's an "inverted mystery/crime", since it's an unhealthy creepy thriller where you follow the criminal. Thanks I'll check it out! |
|
| Any recommendations for Challenge #60 (Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant in the discussion thread)? It's okay if you just give me one of your favorite ones as long as it isn't flat out BL, aside from that I'm pretty much open for everything. I'd highly prefer if it is not longer than around 100 chapters, thanks! |
| I'm feeling thank you |
| I don't want to spam but could someone recommend something for #60? Anything, seriously. |

| @yuugen The note that says "For this and the next three items the manga must have been completely published during the decade." Basically means that the rule applies to number 20, 21, 22 and 23 of the list. And it's like it was said above, the manga for each of those must be completed between the decades listed. There's a question in the FAQ that explains the decades as well. @lady_freyja What about Ashita no Ousama? It's Josei @Mayumi Thank you for your donation! I'll add it to the banners now. @Domi What about Nijigahara Holograph? |
