| I've got a challenge 60 to do so, well, tell me to read a manga that you like! Preferably Shoujo or Shounen, but don't really mind. |
 |
| Thank you, lady_freyja! Karakuri Odette looks like it will be great... |

FireyAmber said: lady_freyja said: You seem to be more or less into adventury stuffs? Terra e being a shōnen is decently paced. Marginal and Z being shōjo are "slower" by being more focused on the plot and characters rather than raw action. (Z is a spin-off, but should be fine even without reading the main story) Thanks for the recommendations, I just haven't read a lot of manga in general (Main reason I am doing this challenge) Claudine... is a good short one if you don't want to read all of terra e... |
Rebe92 said: Read a manga centered around folklore or mythology :Can I use Aria for this entry? (they talk a lot about Italian traditions) If not, what would you suggest me? (something not long) I've never read it, but reading over the Wikipedia article, yeah, I'll accept it since the setting involves Venice-related inspiration and some of the concepts can be traced back to Italian culture. |

| Need a recommendation for #60 Something that is relatively recent (2010+). For genres preferably sci-fi psychological, seinen and action. Completed and less than 30 chapters please. |

| so for 46. Read a manga that takes place outside of Japan - A different country or geographical place do fantasy manga count too? since they're usually not in Japan? Or does it have to be a real place. Also, does it have to be modern day? |

SkyFullOfStars said: so for 46. Read a manga that takes place outside of Japan - A different country or geographical place do fantasy manga count too? since they're usually not in Japan? Or does it have to be a real place. Also, does it have to be modern day? I'm actually surprised there isn't more clarification because I know the anime challenge has that same challenge and specifically says that it must be a real place. So i think leaving out that clause probably makes it fair game to use fantasy places that at least not based on Japan. hamaon said: Quick question: I know we can use webcomics listed on MU and that sequels count as separate entries for the challenge if they're listed separately on MAL, but what should we do for series like Cheese in the Trap where it's an ongoing webcomic, but only the first part that got published is listed on MAL? Count the season that's on here and the rest of comic as separate entries? Use each season separately? Or just count the whole thing as one entry? Also for #30: read a manga adapted from a video game, original anime or light novel, can we use series based off books that MAL doesnt count as light novels (like Welcome to the NHK, Shin Sekai Yori, etc) but are in MU's database? They're just listed as "novels" there without the whole LN distinction so idk of you'd count them or not. For 30, I think you'd have to find it listed as a light novel somewhere otherwise it's just a straight novel. Like if wikipedia makes the distinction or something similar. As for the first question, I definitely used something that was in a similar situation as that last year, and I just counted it as a finished piece because that's what it said on MAL. |
hamaon said: @AudioTsunami Alright thanks In that case, could I get some ideas for 30: read a manga adapted from a video game, original anime or light novel? Preferably finished and not isekai or ecchi/harem. I'm drawing a blank on any good ones I still need to check out that would count ^^; Speed Grapher, Hoshi No Koe, Suisei no Gargantia, Mononoke. |

| @AudioTsunami @SkyFullOfStars I didn't add clarification on #46 because I didn't think it needed it since it says 'country or geographical place' I thought people would assume I meant this world, but I'll add a note clarifying it. No, fantasy places cannot be used, it has to be a real place and not Japan. It doesn't have to be modern times, it can be a historical setting. @hamaon For your question about webcomics, the situation is a little complicated, so it would depend a bit on how much you want to read. You can read just the length the MAL entry covers and count it as one entry or you can catch up to the latest chapter and treat it as ongoing and link to MU. I would prefer if you didn't treat the MAL entry and then the rest as 2 separate things though. As for the novels, it has to be tagged as a light novel, as the challenge item says. |

| @FireyAmber Sure, manga magazines and the process of publication can be considered part of Japanese culture |

| Can someone recommend me something to read for challenge #44 and 60? Also, for challenge #51, would Gekiga Hyouryuu satisfy it? |
nerfsunnyJun 8, 2017 11:20 PM
  |
| @nerfsunny Yes, Gekiga Hyouryuu would count for #51 since it says it's partially autobiographical. As for recs, since you like Hikaru no Go (thumbs up on the favorite) you might like 3-gatsu no Lion? It's shogi, so it's related to Japanese culture. It's still ongoing though, not sure how you feel about that. As for a general rec, Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan |

I don't think 25 is gonna have 5+volume stuff and very few completed stuff(and is excluded from the 5+ volume clause for the "Prodigious.." title) 21 Touch but that's REAL long. You could use Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 1. 24 Ao Haru Ride, Orange, Koe no katachi all work for this. 44 Ran and The Grey World 60 Kokou no Hitou 25. Fureru to Kikoeru, Good Night World, and Shounen Shoujo are all completed and Good Night World actually does meet the 5 volume minimum |

Could anyone recommend me anything (though, preferably completed) for either of these:
Also, I have Tomie on 49, but i'm not sure if it really counts as a manga about folklore or mythology. I only chose it in particular because it's a collection of horror stories. But again, not sure if it counts. Here's a link to my challenge list so you can see if anything you want to recommend is already there. Thanks in advance. |
Copy_BatJun 13, 2017 2:27 PM
| A suggestion to any further Prodigious users looking for a manga for 25. Read a manga published between the 1980s and the 1990s. https://myanimelist.net/manga/664/Akira |
|
| @ColdNobility Thank you very much! I look forward to reading these! |
| @Copy_Bat Tomie is a great read, but it isn't really about folklore or mythology. I'd recommend something like Matantei Loki or Binbougami ga! for #49. |
BrainpanSonataJun 15, 2017 6:46 PM
   |
| @BrainpanSonata Oh, alright. Thank you very much! I really appreciate the help! |
| Decided once was not enough, took another card after turn-in, and got #60 again. Recc me something. I like horror, mysteries, action, sci-fi, psychological thrillers, and supernatural stuff. |
BrainpanSonataJun 18, 2017 12:09 PM
|
| Try Freesia. It seems to your taste |
| Hey guys, looking for a recc for #60. Big fan of historical, mythological, urban fantasy/magical realism and horror although I'll read most things. |
