Holy crap, formatting my post took much more time than I thought it would, and I have no idea why I chose watermelons as a theme, lol. Gonna use grapes for the anime one because why not.

Anyway, can someone recommend me a (very) good finished manhua? I always only read japanese manga, guess I got a bit of, I dunno, 'prejudice' against manga from other countries... but I need one for challenge 22 so there's nowhere to run. Only manhua, please, not manhwa.

Also, where can I search this? "43 Read a manga with a cast mostly of one gender"

You are allowed to change one item from the list for another as long as it's from the same tier to comply with difficulty requirements ^^

I'm not sure if I can or not, but can I still read things if they aren't on the MAL database?

Yes, you can as long as it's considered manga/manhwa or manhua. Webtoons count as well, just link to its page on another site like baka-updates for example so I can check it counts.

I see, thank you! I actually changed one on my anime challenge list (one that said I had to watch a dropped anime, I only have dropped one and don't want to watch it), but I'll keep the manga list as is, as getting out of our comfort zone is one of the points of this. :)

Dumb question but I want to make sure I do this right. I've finished a couple things already this year and am starting my challenge going from January 1st. For the "Completed manga at sign-up" part do I put what the number was on the 1st instead of what it is today?

Also could I get a rec from a staff member and another participant please? Would prefer something in the 3-7 volume range but I'm up for anything.

Let's see. If you're starting your challenge from January 1st, then all the manga you finished before that counts as completed manga at sign-up. :)

I feel like recommending Isshuukan Friends. to you, hope you like it.

In this case, it means from MAL's staff members, not the challenge.
So you can go into any of the profiles here and choose a manga from their favorite to read. :)
Either way, I'd recommend you Kineta's Tomodachi no Hanashi, or any one of Touka's favorites. :P

I saw you rated the Cross Game anime highly, so I would be incredibly remiss to not recommend Touch, by the same artist and my favorite manga of all time.

Since that one is kind of long, however, and I saw Koe no Katachi on your plan to read list I would recommend that 1000%. I haven't finished Monster but I often see it recommended alongside MW, which I have read and enjoyed and if you're looking for something on the more adult-oriented side I'd recommend that as well.

So, I actually dont know how to find or identify a Manga as a "collection of short stories"

(02) Read an award-winning manga
Same here, dont really know which manga did win an award.

Guess, there will be more items, where I wont know how to find a manga for that catergory. So, any Tips for me? :/ (also taking recommendations)

It's linked in the explanations list in the signup thread, but you can also find the articles in question in the drop down menu Industry -> Featured Articles. Any manga listed in a given article counts. You'll also need to link the article where the manga was mentioned in your signup form.

Billy Bat and 20th Century Boys are by the same author as Monster. Judge is the sequel to Doubt. Aria and Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou some nice SoLs if you don't want to go full on battle manga with your shounen or seinen. And if you do want to go full on battle manga, Tokyo ESP and Fullmetal Alchemist are good reads.
