(looks like it's even on my PTR already though I didn't know it won an award)fuyuki said: Does anyone happen to know any award-wining yaoi (or shounen-ai) manga? Lol I need to make some progress with the challenge but I really don't feel like reading anything other than BL. Try Zankoku na Kami ga Shihai suru, just finished it and it was decent. It won the osamu tezuka award and has a ton of shounen ai in it. |

| Alright, I'm 1 manga away from completion. Just need #60. Recommend me something short, please (1 or 2 volumes will be fine). |
| Hi, quick question, do you guys think nr 44 (44.Read a manga that deals with something related to Japanese culture - Make a note of what cultural aspect is being represented) applies to Usagi Drop |

| @Helvian494743 I rec you: About Death - you can read it free on line webtoon (Manhwa, 27 chapters) Ibitsu - 15 chapters Solanin |

12. Read a manga written by someone from the Year 24 Group Anyone have good recommendations from any of the authors? Not familiar with any of their work and it's a lot to choose from. 51. Read a manga based on real event or person Not sure what to pick for this either say a few selections but the scanlations were terrible. 60. Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge Something not super long preferably and completed? I'm not picky. 50. Read a manga that has a main character of gender opposite to the demographic This one sounds kind of obvious but anything I can think of is dual protagonists (boy and girl) and I wouldn't think that would count. Anyone have an idea or use for this? Thank in advance. |

| Hi, I'd like something for #60 as well, it would be nice it it's pretty short, finished, has a clean art style, and is something unique. It could be a different character, a plot you haven't seen before, a new twist to a cliché. Something that at one point made you think "hm, that's new". It's a bonus it it's good as well ;) It'd be a bonus-bonus if you say what part of it is special in a short and concise way. I hope I get something, the challenge would be pretty hard to complete otherwise :) |
| @ColdNobility Oh boy that was an experience... It certainly was... different... Anyway, I have something to put in number 60 now so thanks for that :D |
| @AudioTsunami @lady_freyja Thank you both, they all look like great picks and add them to my list. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ |
|
| I need something for 60. Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge I'd like to have something that's rather short (not more than 3 or 4 volumes) and it should be completed. Otherwise I'm pretty open :) |
 |
Yeah, there's a clear reason why the manga is ranked low and the anime is ranked very high. I'm actually surprised that the manga has even held a 7. |

| i've finally finished the manga challenge (will finish the anime challenge probably later this month)^^ after posting my turn-in form i noticed that 1. the order in the user / completed challenge list is wrong (at "Turn-In Form || Sign-Up Form") 2. the list hasn't been "updated" for more than 5 weeks is there a reason for that, @MRC_mod ? i am patient and wouldn't really have a problem with waiting for a while but there haven't been that many turn-ins after the last successful try and 5 weeks is a pretty long time. |
| She might just be busy. Also could just be saving it until deadline. @tsuyokunaru @mrc_mod if you need help, pm me. I can check entries. also for 60, can you use any manga that's been recommended to you or does it have to be specifically for 60? Example: If a user recommends me something for category 16, but i decide to use something else for 16, can I then use that title for 60, despite it being recommended as 16 and not 60? |
| Alrighty! I need a recommendation for nr. 60! Please not from my Plan To Read list, cause they're series Im planning on physically buying in the future and dont want to read beforehand <3 |
| @Simar Thanks for calling to my attention the turn in/sign up form thing. I copied the code from Shey and didn't notice she prefers to have the turn in form first. I prefer to list the sign up form first, so I'll just change the text order. As for the waiting, I'm not really sure why you think you've waited too long? You turned in your form yesterday. Some people have waited for 2 months, 5 weeks is nothing in comparison. You may not like that there's such a long waiting period, but unlike the anime challenge, the manga challenge doesn't get lots of turn-ins, so I usually do a bunch at once. Besides, the challenge thread says you can go and grab your completed banner if you finished, if you're confident there's nothing wrong with your form, then you shouldn't worry too much about when it's going to be checked. @AudioTsunami Nah, I'm not saving those for the December deadline, I just got really busy and I'm already working on something for next year's challenge so I've been giving that a bit more priority. I got someone to help me yesterday, I think they'll get around to some forms in the next couple of days, but I'm sure it'll get busy soon too, so I'll definitely take you up on the offer and PM you as soon as possible with some instructions. As for your question, it's a bit of a very specific case, but since you can prove that it was recommended to you by someone else in the discussion thread through a link, sure, it counts. @Nissy I couldn't really gauge out what kind of stuff you like, but what about Cousin ? |

| @tsuyokunaru i wasn't trying to imply that i've waited too long (as you said: i posted my turn-in the day before commenting in this thread) i was just curious why it has been so long since the last successful challenger (and waiting 8 weeks doesn't make waiting 5 weeks shorter) getting a completed banner doesn't feel right if the challenge technically isn't over yet so i'd rather wait a couple of weeks^^ |

Thanks! |

| Uuumm... So I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to find manga for nr 31 (manga that has inspired or been adapted to cd drama) Can anyone recommend me somehting? Just something short, thanks |

| Hi everyone. There is such a magazine: Zipper, a girls fashion magazine (junior high and high school). (c)wiki Is that josei or not? |
lady_freyja said: MAL says that it is a « josei » because… well, because. Well. I'll mark Paradise Kiss, that I randomly read this year as #15 Read a manga serialized in a josei magazine lady_freyja said: Anyway, the issue with the item about « josei manga » is that MAL is totally inconsistent with the shōjo/josei tags. The real typical « josei » magazines would be the You variations (main, Young or Office), Feel Young, Kiss and Chorus. Those ones are the major ones. There is also Cocohana and… hum… err… Zero-Sum Ward if you're into bishōnen-fest with video-games-like plots. But if i'll have time this year, i'll read something from the true josei) Thank u for the explanations. |
ColdNobility said: I recommend Adolf ni Tsugu, its only 4 volumes and I really liked it. Thanks! I was looking at this before and was wondering if I should use it for the challenge. AudioTsunami said: I rec Inai Boku wa Hotarumachi ni Iru in case you don't want to read about Hitler. This sounds pretty interesting and I probably would have missed it without this rec.... thanks a lot for it :) |

| @hamaon yes, samurai manga would definitely count for #44. |

| I FINALLY FINISHED. Gosh, one of the easiest items on paper gave me a headache, because there are not lot of Shoujo Ai manga in the top 1000. In the end, I had to pick something that's still publishing: Bloom Into You. I really liked it. I just hope that not completely scanlated manga is also valid. Simar said: is it okay to edit the turn-in form? i'd like to add another link (/replace the "completed" link?) since i'm using a tag for the challenge. this is the link i'd like to add As long as it's not checked yet, I think it's fine (at least in the anime challenge you can do that). |
 |
| Hi! Anyone can recommend me a manga? I Like Seinen/Psychological/Drama! Thanks :3 |
| @Simar Yes, of course. you can edit it as many times as you need. @Conde_Mohr ongoing manga is valid as long as you're up to date with scanlations, yes. |

44: Read a manga that deals with something related to Japanese culture I'm finishing up my list, or at least trying to lol. This is the last one I haven't picked for, I was going back in the discussion to see if anyone had already gotten one for this but I already had them for other sections, if anyone has a preferably small one for me to knock out? Here is my challenge post so there won't be any double picks. |
|
| @Stripesu hmm since you mentioned you prefer something short I'm having a bit of trouble thinking up something to recommend and only Jisatsu Circle comes to mind right now (it might not be up your alley) but anything Yakuza-related could work, or stuff with yankees, gyaru... I just thought of Thermae Romae too. |

Here is my challenge post so there won't be any double picks. Yeah as Tsuyo said, it's a pretty open category, but the stuff I typically recommend for it are things you have already down in your list. Crows works for Deliquent/Yankee culture. Hot Road as well. Shigurui is a samurai manga(very gorey) |
