Same month and year. :) Speaking of this challenge, I'm having trouble getting the manga search tool to actually filter my results to the correct month. I've selected the desired month and year for the start date in advanced search, but I'm getting a ton of results that didn't start at that time. How can I force the search tool to only show results that started in the month I want? Also, for the entry to read a Doujinshi, can I read something that doesn't have a MAL database entry? Cause I found this which looks cool as heck. Would I just link to the place where I read it? |

How can I force the search tool to only show results that started in the month I want? The search is a bit tricky. But this will do: https://myanimelist.net/manga.php?q=&type=0&score=0&status=2&mid=0&sm=1&sd=0&sy=2015&em=0&ed=0&ey=0&c[0]=b&c[1]=g&c[2]=c&c[3]=d&gx=0&o=2&w=1&o=2&w=2 If you go back to advanced settings, you can filter for genres you want/don't want, type and status. But keep the start date as a filter/showing option activated! Click on search and double click on the start date tab, so it will show you the entries sorted by date starting from jan 1st, 2015. Also, for the entry to read a Doujinshi, can I read something that doesn't have a MAL database entry? Cause I found this which looks cool as heck. Would I just link to the place where I read it? You can use it. Just do as you said and link to it. |
| About this application: "(ap.09) read a manga serialized in a seinen magazine." I'm interested in using a manga with the seinen tag, but it's published in young jump. As far as I know, Jump is shounen and "young" to me seems like a younger demographic than shounen (which would be... kids? I guess?) But according to wikipedia (yeah ok not much of a credible source but anyway) most "young" magazines are seinen magazines. So I just wanted to make sure... is this okay? |

We usually go with wikipedia for the demographics. And if we are unsure, we check the series if they are (majorly) tagged with the needed demographic. So yes, Young Jump will be regarded as a seinen-magazine. You can go on with it. :) |

| Ok I have a question about ongoing manga: To show that I am properly caught up to the most recently translated chapter when turning in a section, I've been linking to the series update pages on bakaupdates (example), which seemed like the best way to show I was in fact on the most recent chapter without linking to any manga reading sites and breaking forum rules. For a couple series though, either bakaupdates isn't, well, updated, or I read the series in another language. Is it ok to use screenshots to show the most recent chapter as long as they don't reveal the site used (example), or should I just not bother with "proof" for these? |

If you could provide screenshots like you offered, that would be enough (esp. when read in another language). @Horkus After a short discussion, it is enough if you leave a note somewhere in case the dates on mangaupdates arent coinciding with your reading material. No screenshots needed! |

Archoxys said: For 'Read a manga that has a main character that is a professional in their field.', would this or this be accepted? Beck, sure. It's basically that the main character has a job that they get paid for. I haven't read Piano no Mori, but if the mc gets paid to play the piano (for most of the manga), then that too. |
| Hello! I had a few new questions come up as I work on my Apprentice level and prepare for Intermediate: -I feel like I've read this somewhere already, but I can't find it and wanted to confirm. It's okay to read something up to the current release in whatever form you're reading it as long as you "finish" it during the level that it's in, right? Specifically for my sign-up, I have Gakkougurashi! being used for an item in my current Apprentice level. I'm reading the physical English releases by Yen Press and volume 11 isn't scheduled to come out until 29 Oct 2019. I have a note stating such for the item. So if, say, I finish the Apprentice level in mid-July, I can move on and put my "Finished" date for Gakkougurashi! as the date when I finished volume 10, right? Just wanted to make sure. -Would Chicchana Yukitsukai Sugar work for item I.19, reading something that takes place outside of Japan but still in the "real world"? The bulk of the series takes place in Germany, but in a fictional town (based on Rothenburg ob der Tauber). And then it also has a parallel fairy world. So would that work? -Would Boogiepop wa Warawanai work for item I.11, reading something adapted from a light novel? It's listed as an "alternative version" of the Boogiepop Series, so I wasn't sure if this would count or not. Edit: Actually, after seeing that the manga version of All You Need Is Kill is also listed as an "alternative version" to the original novel, and seeing the same thing with Toaru Majutsu no Index, it looks like that is just how manga adaptations of light novels are listed on here. Sorry! -Alternatively, if Boobiepop doesn't work for the above, does it have to be a LIGHT novel adaptation to fit item I.11? I might be interested in reading Jumyou wo Kaitotte Moratta. Ichinen ni Tsuki, Ichimanen de. for this, but as far as I can tell this is based on a "regular" novel. There doesn't seem to be any items that specify non-light novel adaptations, so I didn't know if this could fit here. If not, that might be a nice idea for an item in a future year's Challenge! And that's all that's really hanging me up at the moment. I only plan to go through Intermediate level, so this should do it for me after I get this nailed down. Thanks in advance and have a great day! ^_^ |

| Hello and back here with another question! About I.03 (first or earliest work of your favorite creator), I'm looking through this person and I'm a bit torn. This is the earliest work supposedly, but it's basically 5 different oneshots released at different years and then collected in one volume. This on the other hand started 2 years later, but had stable releases and finished a year before before the oneshot volume was released, so can I count that instead of the oneshot volume as her true earliest work? |

Note how a "fictional town" isn't really a real place, even if it's based on one. /: Yeah, bakaupdates https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=4028 has it as adapted from the LN. Hmm, it does say "Read a manga adapted from light novel, video game or original anime.", so I don't think it would count. I'll mention it to the staff, to see what they think for the future. :) |

Thanks for confirming! Since Snow Fairy Sugar is classified as shounen, I can put it into the "demo that doesn't apply to me" item instead, since I'm old. =P I'm trying to get as much of my physical books read for the first time as possible with this Challenge and I've had that one for MANY years (the old ADV release; got it back in the mid-2000s). Thanks again and have a great one! ^_^ |

This on the other hand started 2 years later, but had stable releases and finished a year before before the oneshot volume was released, so can I count that instead of the oneshot volume as her true earliest work? Personally, I'd say that the collected oneshot volume doesn't count since the book itself was published in '98 at the earliest and the oneshots didn't have anything to do with each other prior to that. However, the more info page lists when each oneshot was published, with Ding Dong being the earliest, and it's older than anything else I can find from her. So if you want to use her for that item you'll need to use Ding Dong specifically and then link to the more info page of the volume (here) instead of the main page |
| @Ironclad_Cobra It sucks, but I understand, thank you for the help! I assumed only entire entries would count, hence my initial dilemma, haha. I'll just have to avoid that item. Have fun o7 |

| I have another question about Advanced 08. I'm starting a second run of the challenge and the post directly above it is my turn-in post from the previous run. How does that affect Advanced 08? Can I refer to the user above my turn-in post (given that anything I've rated 9 or 10 is something I've already read, some of them for previous MRCs) or can I only refer to the user that posts below me for that entry? EDIT: And now both the post above and below me are turn-ins. Is it okay to use the turn-in post of another user for Advanced 08? |

Frostbytes said: Just to make sure- read a manga with only one English letter in the title, this counts right? @Schlopsi Hi! We don't think this counts because the letters in question aren't English letters, but Japanese. :P We're looking for stuff like this: https://myanimelist.net/manga/1926/Nazo_no_Kanojo_X https://myanimelist.net/manga/375/Initial_D https://myanimelist.net/manga/69045/Investor_Z https://myanimelist.net/manga/6132/Yu%E2%98%86Gi%E2%98%86Oh_R https://myanimelist.net/manga/24417/Kono_S_wo_Mi_yo_-_Cupid_no_Itazura https://myanimelist.net/manga/27/X Vowels that are romanized may appear like they're single English letters, but that's usually not the case. :) There are, of course, other options for this item, but these were the first I found. |
| @MRC_mod Just wondering when the list of users that completed the challenge is gonna be updated. I been done for like 4 months now lol. |

| For Intermediate challenge #29 (Read a manga with a one word title), would βl@ck★OUT work? It has a star in the middle of it so I don't know if it's considered one word or two. In the Background section of this title's MAL page, it says "The series was simultaneously published in Japanese, Chinese and English (as BLACKOUT: The Enigmatic Game)". In that instance, the Blackout part is written as one word, so I'm hoping I can use it. Thanks |

| Question: if we read something, but then found outt he last chapter wasn't translated as we caught up, would it count as having 'caught up' to the 'latest chapter'... or does catching up to the latest chapter always mean the 'latest published chapter' |
Claptrap said: Question: if we read something, but then found outt he last chapter wasn't translated as we caught up, would it count as having 'caught up' to the 'latest chapter'... or does catching up to the latest chapter always mean the 'latest published chapter' We usually check for the latest chapter available, which is translated into english (or another language you read it). I.e. Boku no Hero Academia latest chapters. If you read from another source, like physical - which isn't usually caught up with the latest chapters, that's okay, too of course. |
| @Schlopsi Thank you very much for the clarification! |
