| Hey tsuyokunaru. First off, thanks for running the Manga Reading Challenge. This is the first time I've seen this competition but I'm looking to try it out. I did have a question though: from the adaptations category "Read a manga adapted from a video game, original anime or light novel", are visual novels as original sources allowed as well or are only these 3 sources allowed? Edit: I originally posted this on your wall, but I found this thread immediately afterwards. Apologies about that. |

Also since you liked Slam Dunk you could try Real. Its by the same author however it is still ongoing. Thanks, I will read Akira then instead of watching the movie. CodingSession said: Fellow manga readers, please recommend me some titles for these challenges These are the remaining: [ ] Read a manga with a non-human main character: Beelzebub [ ] Read a manga based on a one-shot that got serialized: Haikyuu [ ] Read a manga that has not been adapted in any way: Kimi no Knife |

Visual novels could technically count as a videogame (at least in my opinion), so sure, you can use that. |

lequack said: Can someone please give me recommendations for a josei manga? there is nothing on my PTR btw so just recommend something that you liked I would prefer if the manga is not a tragedy and is complete (something similar to Nodame Cantabile) Ashita no Ousama is somewhat similar in terms of mood and it's not as long. |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
| Just a question. Let's consider this; I asked for manga recommendations some time ago (for the sake of the question, before this year's challenge started) and got some. One of the people who recommended me manga back then is participating in this year's challenge. Can I use one of his/her recommended manga from back then for the challenge "Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant"? EDIT: Actually forget it. Just recommend me something short, not focused on romance and has finished publishing. I'm thinking Sports or Mystery is what I'd like it to focus on, though anything's fine (except romance). |

| >>> Kakukaku Shikajika <<< Finished it at 2 a.m. even though I got work in the next morning because I just didn't feel like stopping, but it's worth it. 10/10. Why not? - Interesting characters (both the girl and her teacher, especially the teacher). - Amazing story. - Motivational. - The humor is funny. - No forced drama, at all, obviously. - Make me reflect on my life. T_T For everyone who haven't read it, fit this in in your challenge, be it for rating above 8.5, award winning, professional's life, demographic. Read it, just read it. I'm not even exaggerating just to please Dullboy. Read this, just read it, for humanity. |
FlameWingman21 said: hahaha . Well I'm glad you liked it that much . It's not easy to do an autobiography, but she managed to do it perfectly in my opinion . If you want to read more autobiographical manga , you might want to read "Gekiga Hyouryuu" .

Berserk said: The fact that your manga list is private make me unsure if you won't have already read what I'll propose you , but well I'll try :Oh, and can someone give me a rec - Planetes (same author as Vinland saga if you know it) . Very very good in my opinion . - Blame! (or Alabara . Something comming from the mangaka at least if you haven't read any of him , it's an experience to try I think) tsuyokunaru : if I recall correctly , you seemed to be interested in reading Yuureitou , so I thought I would tell you that the manga is finish now . If you try it , I'll be extremely interested in knowing your opinion about it , because it's really a strange and peculiar manga . I would recommend it to any other challenger that need a "horror" or "mystery" manga by the way . |

| recommend me a manga for the challenge please? something horror/psychological and not more than 100 chapters |

| Hey everyone - can I use manhwa instead of manga for a couple of the challenges? Also I'd like to get some ideas for the following please :)? » Read a manga that has a main character of gender opposite to the demographic » Read a manga that has not been adapted in any way » Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant |

| Hilfe! Onegai! Muchas gracias. » Read a manga based on a one-shot that got serialized. » Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant. It must not be a shounen or shoujo demographic, one-shot, and on-going. Thanks good men. |
| @sorafleurs Yes, you can use manhwa and it doesn't even have to be in the MAL database, no problem. As for recommendations: » Read a manga that has a main character of gender opposite to the demographic (Solanin, Sakamichi no Apollon) » Read a manga that has not been adapted in any way (from your PTR Bitter Virgin, Prunus Girl, Hana no Namae, as far as I know none of this have been adapted. » Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant No Color because it's my favorite BL manga... but you can take a rec from someone else if you don't want to read this lol @Monstrum Phew. The first one might be a little hard since all the one-shots to serialization stories I know of are shounen (Beelzebub, Koe no Katachi, Medaka Box, One Piece, Naruto, etc) but maybe someone else will have a rec that fits your criteria. |

Berserk said: FlameWingman21 said: >>> Kakukaku Shikajika <<< I'm definitely going to read it for this challenge, I haven't read any of the author's works yet. Apparently she has one of the highest page counts of all mangaka, or something like that, which I thought is pretty cool. There's a documentary about mangaka called Urasawa Naoki no Manben, and each episode focuses on a certain mangaka, and one of the episodes focuses on her. Here's the first episode. Thank you for that. Just watched it. Amazing. Wonder how she could have most page counts. The mangaka of Doraemon or Kochikame should have more, no? Most importantly, she's pretty. XD I see there's also Asano Inio's episode. Will definitely watch that later. I want to try Oyasumi Punpun once more. Hope by watching it, I feel more motivated. Couldn't handle it the first time.

Nothing I dislike about this manga at all, well, maybe except that she talked bad about herself too much. Added to plan to read. Will surely check that out. Thanks. |
| I'm still looking for: » Read a manga with a main cast mainly of one gender » Read a manga that focuses on non-romantic relationships » Read a manga with an archetype as a main character Anything that is safe for work would be great. I can read a little in my downtime. Thanks! |

| For the PTR list challenge I guess I need to actually use that feature and let it sit for awhile huh :| |

aemiliuz said: Could one of you be so kind and help me with this one please. Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant Since you like flat, I'd recommend My Girl, which has the same type of relaxing and heartwarming tone. You seem to like mystery/action too so you might find Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna enjoyable :) This one's a longer read though, that's why I suggest My Girl first. Take you pick, or neither at all if they don't interest you. |
lequack said: Brand said: I'm still looking for: » Read a manga with a main cast mainly of one gender » Read a manga that focuses on non-romantic relationships You could try One Outs (main cast consists mainly of males) and for the non romantic thing Ping Pong. I haven't read the manga for these but I liked the anime versions of both of them. While, these are good suggestions. I finished the Ping Pong anime a couple of weeks ago, so it is a bit to fresh in my mind to read. I like some time in-between when read/watching adaptions/original source materials. As for One-outs since it looks like I'd have to watch the anime that is out for now. I am doing the anime challenge also and I have everything picked out for that already so I couldn't squeeze it in, right now. |
