Thanks but already in my PTR list. I want to read something that I still haven't heard of as much as possible. |

| How strict are you guys with the form format? Currently the form is looking a bit clunky for me, in part due to long item descriptions, others due to long-ish series titles, and I'd like to play around with the format a bit to adjust it. Can I use a different format for the start/finish date? I'd like to try changing it to something like [<start date>/<end date>] in pace of the current [Started: <date>][Finished: <date>] ... Or rephrasing the longer item descriptions, would that be ok (since titles should be as they appear in the database)? |

It's formatted for you for a reason - people turned in some really ugly/fucked up forms the last two years. Use it as formatted. And definitely don't re-word anything. Use as intended or risk having to edit it all back the correct way. EmperorBlitz said: Thanks but already in my PTR list. I want to read something that I still haven't heard of as much as possible.

If you're gonna do what you want regardless of the answer, don't ask the question. Just do you, like those people did. If you want an opinion of someone who's been helping out with the challenge for two years, I already gave it to you. Also, none of those people changed the wording, just for the record. |

If you want an opinion of someone who's been helping out with the challenge for two years, I already gave it to you. I only made the follow-up because I wasn't sure if you and I were talking of the same thing - I don't want to change the post to 'something unreadable' for the sake of it; I'm merely asking how much freedom I have with the post's format/structure/etc for the submission. AudioTsunami said: Those were examples of people who modified the format, not examples of people paraphrasing.Also, none of those people changed the wording, just for the record. Thank you for your input on this, I'm not looking for an argument here, just an answer to a question. |

| Can I use in 'Read a manga with a non-human main character' a manga where there aren't any characters listed? Like this one -> https://myanimelist.net/manga/95121/23_45?q=23%3A45 |
| @RulenneClarissa I'm somewhat strict with it now in the sense that we want to have all the information visible and that's what the form requires. The change you would like to make with the dates is acceptable for the manga challenge, but if you're doing the anime challenge as well it won't work there, I think. @AudioTsunami 's point is that we tried to make the form as easy to read and useful for us because the last 2 years we've had people who used horrible formatting and we had to message back and forth to understand what they had finished, so that's why we're being more strict, but as long as you don't delete the date and keep it at the beginning, you can modify it a little bit. As for rephrasing the items list... hmm you can do it temporarily until you finish if it's a pain to look at your post now, but you should fix it before turn in because if you didn't, then I'd have to do a bunch of cross-referencing with the main list while checking and it would be time consuming. |

AudioTsunami said: Hoshi no Samidare Otoyomegatari Kakukaku Shikajika Kokou no Hito Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan Seems good ones. I'll be using them for my another entry challenges. Thanks for the recommendation. |
Rielf said: I need a recomendation, i would prefer something psychological or mystery but i'm fine with any genre (except ecchi). Monster Erased Solanin Oyasumi Punpun |
| Solanin is Asano's best work. It's not really psychological tho. But psychological tag mostly sucks anyway. |
| @MRC_mod I've recently found out that Oumagadoki Doubutsuen is based on a oneshot. Also, the more-info page mentions a prototype chapter of Boku no Hero Academia, so maybe this manga can also be added to the list (I've read neither this oneshot nor the manga, so I don't really know). |
ditto said: Please help me with - 60. Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant in the discussion thread almost any will manga - but no ecchi and I would like it to be finished. Thanks :D Try reading Koe no Katachi or Suiiki |
ditto said: Please help me with - 60. Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant in the discussion thread almost any will manga - but no ecchi and I would like it to be finished. Thanks :D Your To-Read list is looong, but I'll try to find something new: Liar Game - Long, but completed and impossible to put down. Raiden 18 - Hiromu Arakawa, 'nuff said. Ghost Hunt - excellent ghost/mystery stories. Honey and Clover - very funny, in a subdued way Saiunkoku Monogatari - stunning art, great and ambitious leads. Sukima Shiki - cute, fluffy shoujo one-shots. Ritshiro said: Can I use in 'Read a manga with a non-human main character' a manga where there aren't any characters listed?

| Need help with #60 - the recommendation one. I have three restrictions though: 1. less than 30 volumes (have mercy!!) 2. Not in my MAL 3. Must be licensed/released in the US Thank you for your recs! |

Are ongoing managas allowed for this challenge? yup From the FAQ: "'Can I use webtoons and/or ongoing manga?'-- Sure, just remember that if they are ongoing, you must be up-to-date with the latest chapter (either raws, released through scanlation or print depending on what you are using) when you declare your challenge complete." |

| --my heart's a hieroglyph, it speaks in tongues |
| @aemiliuz Hmm, to me the ghost of a human is still a ghost. That said, even what you said under the spoiler that counts as non-human to me because it falls under a supernatural category. |

| @Lionesscre Thank you very much! |

| I lost the screencap that prooved the keyword i got for this challenge "65. Choose a manga from the predictive search using a generated random word". Should I do the challenge again with another word? |
| I need a manga rec for #60. I'm doing an only yuri/shoujo ai challenge, so make sure that your rec is from one of the genres. Also, don't recommend me anything in my Plan to Read list (most if not all of them are planned items for other challenges), or something in the top 1000 manga (there are literally 5 that I can use, and I don't want to run out of options). Oh and, although I may accept them anyway, I'd prefer that it's not on-going. Also, what can I do with #66 Read something recommended by MAL or Manga+? Next month, I'll probably reach the point where I have read more manga being shoujo-ai/yuri genre than not being of that genre, but I still don't have even one valid recommendation for my challenge :/ MRC_mod said: The change you would like to make with the dates is acceptable for the manga challenge, but if you're doing the anime challenge as well it won't work there, I think. @RulenneClarissa I don't know about the rest of the examples she gave, but the first one shouldn't prove a problem in the anime challenge, since it's the one in the Excel. Also, I don't think the others would get rejected, the structure is the same and it's readable. Also, keep in mind colours and spacing. Something like this is unreadable in my opinion. And about paraphrasing... I wouldn't do that, it must be a pain to correct later. |

Thanks! EDIT: It seems that the manga is a continuation of the anime, so it's even better for me :D |

| Hey! I'd highly appreciate recommendations for challenge #60 Complete Romance(or)Thing Similar to Liar game would be preferred. I'll also accept your favorite manga. Thanks for the help, and happy manga reading! |

| Hello~ Looking for a recommendation for #60 (recommended to you by another participant). I'm looking for a light read. If possible not longer than 30 chapters. As for the theme/genres I'm pretty open to anything. I do dislike horror and I'm fond of my nonsensical BLs... weirdly I also enjoy some teen-school-romance (just read Strobe Edge and greatly enjoyed it). So pretty much give me something you previously enjoyed and it's not that well know. If you have a hentai that I can find online then trow that too. Really, looking for something different and easy to read. If you check my plan to read list, then nothing from there. It would be also great if I get several recommendations (just in case) from different people ♥ Oh right, if someone could give me an idea of one of the Gekigas (short one) to read online I will be grateful~ FHunterxFHunter said: Hey!

All You Need is Kill is an easy and short read. It's a big dumb action manga. The first story of Shibatte Nabutte♥ is very good. |

But really, if you're willing to go just a tad beyond the 30-chapter limit, you should read some Aya Nakahara, either Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai or Lovely Complex. |

lady_freyja said: Ajisaitea said: Hello Everyone, I'm looking for recs for #60. I'm completely open to anything as long as the series has been completed. You have Please Save My Earth in your favorites? 11-nin Iru is a manga that influenced the creation Please Save My Earth. And Tsuki no Ko is another manga influenced by 11-nin Iru. Thus I tend to put those 3 manga in the same bag, since they share some similar thematics and atmospheric elements, character development too maybe. Although I personally think that Please Save My Earth was the weakest of the 3 (mostly because it drags out), so maybe you'll have the exact opposite reaction of mine, dunno. Yes I love PSME. I saw the OVA first and became attached. Thank you for these, I'll read both of them. |
