"Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant" Looking at your manga list, I think you'll probably like some of these: Air Gear Fullmetal Alchemist Hellsing Jormungand Nurarihyon no Mago Thanks a lot ! I'll go with Nurarihyon no Mago then =D |
 |
| Aku no Hana was a weird one in general. I never watched the show(although I might, because rotoscoping) but I just felt the second half of the story was lacking. |
| Need a little help with this one: > Read a manga with a score of or below 7.0 in MyAnimeList |

Stark700 said: Need a little help with this one: > Read a manga with a score of or below 7.0 in MyAnimeList Well, this is indeed hard.. Iron Knight: Was alright, but I think it got axed Girl May Kill: I liked it, but I'd understand if someone else didn't Kansen Rettou: Interesting, short and made by the artist of Rainbow Ability Shop: Interesting one shot Sachiusu: Light-hearted comedy about a girl with extremely bad luck Gohan Shiyo!: Short manga about food and a girl living in a dorm Stealth Symphony: Interesting SJ manga from the author of Baccano! and Durarara!! Love Automation: I don't really remember but I think it was fine? |
| @Stark700 If you'd like yet another option, here's one by the author of Usagi Drop. It's short and I quite liked it when I read it. Not sure how you'd like it though. Sukima Suki @AudioTsunami The anime is incomplete, it just gets to a certain point and then stops, but it was enough to make me intrigued. I guess what I don't like in the manga vs. the anime is that the anime does a very good job at mood setting with slowing down and creating tension between one scene/happening and another through music and time. The manga feels like a very fast read, so there's less tension. |

Yeah, but you can do it several times as long as you finish your previous run and sign up again to the thread. The item list won't change if you always do the highest difficulty, but you would have to read other manga for the same items, so it'd still be new content to read. |

Just had to catch up to the seasonals, because it was either now, or I'd end up putting them off for at least a year. 'Kay. Don't worry, I'm on chapter 15, but I don't read every day lol so maybe I'll even have to catch up to you later, who knows.  Some of the stuff I saw coming because of the teaser they did at the end of the anime, but after that I got caught off guard with the direction it took. I think it fit in quite nicely though. It's a shame it never managed to fully capture the atmosphere of the anime though. |

| Question regarding this: » Choose a highly rated manga from another challenger who posted on the same page you signed up on i.e. A completed manga rated 10, 9 or 8; the best score So it basically means what they scored rather 8 or above rather than the MAL community? |

ReaperCreeper said: And now I've finished it. Ha! Now I'll have to catch up. I'll try to finish it today. @Stark700 That's right. If, let's say, the manga is rated 7.4 but the person gave it a 10, the 10 is what we're considering for that item. |

| I read a lot of short manga. Mainly oneshots are stuff that are like under 10 chapters. It's rare that I pick up a good lengthy manga. But I wanna try this challenge. Would oneshots and the like count as valid entries for most of the categories? |
notyourboyfriend said: No problem, a lot of people do so. I read a lot of short manga. Mainly oneshots are stuff that are like under 10 chapters. It's rare that I pick up a good lengthy manga.

Yeah, just as yazio said, as long as what you pick fit the categories, you can read 50 one-shots or one-volume manga and still do hard mode. It just have to be a challenge for you. The only item that requests long-running series is the bonus item that you don't have to do for any of the difficulties. |

I guess the list can be made from what users know is a series based on a one shot. So far, the ones that have been mentioned include Koe no Katachi, Haikyuu!, Naruto, Beelzebub, Tokyo Ghoul, Medaka Box, Cross Manage. Maybe someone else may mention some more? |

This list is superhelpful. I was kinda worried about trying to find something because I've read the ones that aren't really long, but I totally found something in Cross Manage and it seems like it is right up my alley. TY. |

| @ReaperCreeper I believe "not known" is defined as having not read anything by said author. Tsuyo could correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's how it is. |

Is it a manga that's not (yet) printed / published in any way ? No problem, hope you enjoy it as much as I did. And yes, I would think it's manga/manhwa that is primarily on the web, such as Naver Webtoon maybe? |

Yeah 4-koma is a 4 panel comic. Essentially it's in the style of what americans would call newspaper comics or comic strip. for 4-koma - Azumanga Daioh or One Week Friends My rec for the challenge - Kakukaku Shikajika Adults = Our Happy Hours or Solanin Edit: Yeah a webmanga is something that is release primarily online. if you want to use a webmanga instead of a 4-koma Annarasumanara qualifies. Just remember to read it left to right instead of right to left like most manga because it's Korean. |

| Yeah, it's really easy to recommend stuff for someone with only 30 or so series read/reading. Pretty much just give them well-regarded series from variety of genres and give them a good basis for building on. I highly recommend Kakukaku Shikajika to anyone with an attention span and a sense of empathy. It's tremendously good and easily related to. |

I guess you're right, I don't think I'm that good at recommending stuff to new readers because I don't know their preferences and pretty much would just recommend them my favorites, which I prefer not to do. I'll take that into account for future recommendations.. :) |
| @ReaperCreeper @AudioTsunami For the sake of the challenge, unknown is that you haven't read anything by them, even if you know of their works. @falken28 a webmanga is a manga/manhua/manhwa that was first published online, it would've been printed afterwards, but the first type of distribution must have been online. For Japanese manga, I know of Axis Powers Hetalia and One Punch Man, though there must be others. For manhwa, besides Annasumanara, there's one titled Nineteen, Twenty-one that I found quite good. |

Thanks. I've been planning to read both, but I'll read Kakukaku Shikajika for the challenge. |

| @TheRegi going over your PTR I'll obviously say Hikaru no Go since it's like my favorite manga ever (duh), but I know it's on the long side of chapter count, so I'll say that I also thought Pluto, Planetes and Onanie Master Kurosawa were enjoyable reads for me and stuff I can always recommend. Besides that, I thought Mirai Nikki and Deadman Wonderland were entertaining. |
