No, there's no limit. I think you should be fine, as long as it is a complete volume. :)

@Shomiji could you be a little more specific? By book do you mean light novel or manga tankoubon?

@Shomiji Some items have a length requirement, if the item doesn't not explicitly say read a manga with x number of chapters, then anything from a one-shot to Detective Conan levels of long-running counts as long as it fits the item you're trying to use it for.

Hello! :)

I'm unsure as to what should be "creepy" enough for you... xD
But let me try something.

Would something like this sound creepy?
K no Souretsu | v2.ch22 | (josei, mystery, psychological)

Found some others:
Mouryou no Yurikago | v6.ch41 | (seinen, horror, action)
The survival situation and art leans more towards a horror, if you like.

Blame! | v10.ch66 | (seinen, horror, sci-fi)
The story per se is not necessarily creepy, but the environment and the art have a great chance of creeping ones out. :P

13 Club | v2.ch11 | (seinen, mystery)
It's short and has a number of stories that are quite dark.

Bokurano | v11.ch66 | (seinen, drama, mecha, psychological)
This one is also very good. :)

I see you like some yaoi, so...
Itou-san | v1.ch07 | (yaoi)
Aka no Theatre | v1.ch06 | (yaoi, psychological)
Jigoku Meguri | v2.ch10 | (yaoi, supernatural, drama, romance)

Hope you find something to your liking.

I've started reading Kokou no Hito and would like to know if it fits challenge no. 74,
Read a manga based on real event or person

It says in Wikipedia that it is "partially based on real-life mountain climber Buntarō Katō". So I wonder if it is okay for it to be only loosely based?

I guess nobody saw my post so I'm quoting it...

Also to clarify, the character name in the manga is Mori Buntarou and not the same as the real person Katou Buntarou. So I'm not really sure if that is acceptable.
Would really like some help with this!

I'm not sure if there's BL gekiga though?? @lady_freyja do you know any?

There's a change you can use MW by Osamu Tezuka for this item, it depicts a homosexual relationship (though it's not tagged as BL in MAL) and I'd say it counts a gekiga as it was published in the second half of the 70's when Gekiga was still going strong.

Not scanlated ones beside MW, no.
Suehiro Maruo did some of them: there is two in this anthology. But I've read it in French, and doesn't seem to be scanlated.

Same way with the gekiga I know that without being real BL do contain gay relationships aren't scanlated.

Mid challenge, yes; Post completion, no. :P
