No, sorry. What seems like a small "o" is a "・" separating the two words from each other.

Hello, everyone!

Quick message regarding (Ad.02) Read a manga that started publishing the same month as one of your listed favorites.

The original intent of this item was same month, same year, but since some people have already read something that is only the same month, we'll let those challenges pass.

For next year's challenge, we'll clarify all items that were worded confusingly. As such, we'll start implementing those changes next year.

Of course, if you want to apply these clarifications to this year's challenge, that is also valid.

Thank you for your comprehension, and good luck on your challenges!

It can, but I had a hard time making it work. I wasn't adding the Start Date column. .-.

Something like this, where you just change the start date and whatever you want to include/exclude. :) And click the Start Date column a few times.

Hey guys, I need help with two things.

I'm looking for a manga for I.16 (Read a manga about otaku.), anything is fine but I'd prefer something with less than 10 volumes.
And, for I.11 (Read a manga adapted from light novel, video game or original anime.) can I use this one?

Thanks in advance!

I think the I.11 is a mod discretion question, tbh. Because it's not like..a direct adaptation of a video game but it's an original manga using video game characters, so yeah.. Edit: MangaUpdates says it's adapted from the anime so probably nah.

Oh I get it. I thought it was going to be easy to find a manga for that one hhhh
Thanks for the recomendation also, I'll look onto it!

It's not hard to find one for that item, it's just that the manga you chose isn't the easiest example. :P
There are tons of manga that are based on light novels, video games, and original anime.

I can give you a few!

  • If you want a classic, try Sanctuary, I find it really engaging, and Ikegami has a super distinctive art style.
  • If you want something more actiony, you could try Teppuu. Or you've got the Breaker on your PTR list, that works too.
  • If you want something more serious, Adolf ni Tsugu is a must-read IMO.
  • March Story is really great, but only the first couple chapters are available online, scanlators dropped it when it got licensed by Viz. It's only 5 volumes, so if it looks interesting, consider either adding it to your collection or checking your local library.
  • If you just want something short, some manga that I read for the challenge and enjoyed were Crimsons: Akai Koukaishatachi, Hanakaku, and Suiiki.
  • Finally, on the off chance you happen to speak French, I absolutely adore Zi Bu Yu, but while it has been fully released in French, only the first couple chapters have been translated in English.

Feel free to check out whatever looks interesting to you!

Can relate. Haven't read much this year and now I need to put some effort into it. There wasn't much outstanding in my choices, either. Though, I can recommend
Lip Smoke for some steamy shoujo,
Yuureitou for fast paced historical mystery and
500-nen no Itonami, as well as Udagawachou de Mattete yo. for surprisingly sensitive shounen ai/bl.

Beast Children looks cool, indeed! Might give it a try when the story has a little bit more progressed on MangaPlus. Also I stumbled across Hisakata no Oto, which I'll read in the near future. The cover looks great, hopefully the story can keep up with it. Guess some seinen-stories is all that's needed for me right now, lol.

Sound of skies looks decent and fits a category I need. Lip Smoke sounds too steamy for me, lol.

I think most of what bummed me out is a read Boys on the Run and really wasn't a fan and it just really was a downer of a series. I've been keeping up with OUT too, which has been fun if oyu like yankee stuff.

It's been fun! I completed my challenge already, but I had a great time checking out a bunch of new series!
Here's some of the highlights for stuff I didn't know I would like beforehand:

  • I thought Zai x 10 was absolutely hilarious, the comedy was on point for me, and the series didn't go on for long enough for the jokes to start getting stale.
  • I knew nothing about Crimsons: Akai Koukaishatachi but it was a great time. It has everything you could want in a classic shounen. It's got drama, it's got comedy, it's just a complete package all around! Big recommend.
  • I think Suiiki was the series I scored the highest that I didn't already know I was going to love before I started. It's a really interesting little drama. I found the unfolding mystery of the town to be extremely engaging. It's not too long either, so easy for folks to check out if you still need to fill in a challenge somewhere.
  • I had a good time with Hanakaku. The art style is cute and I always like a good martial arts series. The villain is a little bit overdone, and I wish it were longer overall, but it was still a thoroughly enjoyable read.
  • I thought the original manga version of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso was substantially better than the anime, which I watched when it first aired. I feel like the manga does a better job of capturing the emotive power of the music, which I think is probably easier to do in visual form (since you don't have to actually play the music and make it sound as good as the characters think it is lol).
  • Nickelodeon is absolutely bizarre, but I think it's something that everyone should try. I didn't love it, but I don't think I've read anything else quite like it, and I'm glad I checked it out.
  • If you need a historical manga, check Hawkwood out! It's really cool and I think it deserves way more than the paltry 300 people who are reading it!
  • Lastly I want to shout out the manga version of Youjo Senki. I love how the original novel, manga, and anime are all such different takes on the story. It really lets you enjoy all three in their own ways. I think the art style in the manga is really well done, I love how it uses simpler, more cartoony looks in places to add comedy and lighten the mood. If you already like the anime or novel definitely check it out!

It's always a lot of fun doing the challenge every year, it's such a great way to check out a whole bunch of stuff I'd probably never get exposed to otherwise!

Maniac Road was really good. The last few chapters left me wanting more... but sadly the sequel hasn't been scanslated. QQ

Dengeki Daisy has become my point of comparison for "is this romance manga worth the time".

Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou was great. Some of the gags made me laugh so hard...

FLCL was interesting, but I think the anime has better pacing and comprehension.

Plus I read my first ever light novel.

Maybe you'll like Vassalord, Yuureitou, Necromancer, LifE
This one doesn't fit your prefered genres directly, but might still be something of interest: Wolf Guy: Ookami no Monshou
---

@Horkus: Great to hear! This is exactly what the challenge aims at. :) Suiiki was read by a lot of people last year, too, and it picked my interest ever since. Zai x 10 sounds like a quick read, might have to save that one for the challenge? :D Hawkwood looks really good! I'll wait for the complete translation, the cover looks pretty straight forward. Have you read Wolfsmund? It might fit your taste.

@BrainpanSonata: Maniac Road sounds like fun. Does it end with a cliffhanger? The adaption for Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou is already on my ptw, might check that out before diving into the manga. Hmm. And is Dengeki Daisy that bad? I got hyped about it recently and need some romance in my life (this sounds so wrong, obviously). Still want to read it, though.

@Schlopsi Dengeki Daisy is that good, actually. I don't read many manga that are primarily romance and the ones I've done before for previous challenges were... varying levels of schmaltzy or downright strange. *has Barairo My Honey flashbacks* But Dengeki Daisy has an interesting plot and a well-grounded romance. Nary an eye was rolled while reading it, which is far more than I can say for other romcoms/romdramas.
