Oh, looks fun! Thank you, I look forward to reading this (': |
| Just to be sure, we can use Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! for the Start and catch up to an on-going long-running (300+) series item, right? Since it's a bonus challenge, we can interpret it a bit looser, I hope. Also, can someone recommend me a manga please? I'd prefer it if it's something shorter, somewhere around 30 chapters. |
| >>> Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant Maybe something not too long XD stuff with around 50-100 chapters. Thanks! |
 |
| @Hershel_Layton How about LifE? @yu6 How about Otaku no Musume-san? |
| This will be the second Life manga for this challenge. Added to the list, thanks for the recommendation. |
Thank you, seems an interesting manga ^^ I will start to read it asap! |
| |
| @Hershel_Layton That's right. It totally counts. |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
| That's it, I finally completed the 2016 Challenge ! It took me longer than expected, to be honest, but I guess that's because I decided to take it slower and not force myself to read when I didn't wanted to. Well that was interesting, and definitly more difficult than doing (twice) the 25 items challenge of last year. I feel like I want to talk a lot about all the stuff I read, like doing some kind of reviews here for all the things I read and left enought impression, positively or negatively, that I want to share my view on it in the thread. But that will make the message a wall of text and take so much time.. Ok then, let's see.. I'll scroll in my challenge list, and take the significant manga I find and feel like talking about, then I'll categorise them (like good read ; disappointing ; best read ; etc..) before giving a (relatively) short impression of them. Here we go: That's it. It took me around 4 hours to write that message (I think), but it was nice comming back and reflecting about the things I've read over time for the challenge. With this, I'm done for this year challenge, but hey, I'll be back for the next one, most likely ^^. And I'll still be looking the thread here, and I'll gladly help people with recommendation if need, or simply discuss about manga, which is always nice. Thanks again, tsuyokunaru, for all the work you did and you're still doing for the challenge. |

| Great comment above lol ^ Quick question guys, manga that adapted from video games can be adapted from visual novels too right? as it is some kind of a video game, don't know if it counts though. |
| If you love sport especially basketball, i recommend Ahiru no Sora... IMO its on par with Slam Dunk, it got: - Well Written Drama - Lovable and unique Characters - Realistic (unlike Kuroshit noshit bashitke it doesnt have goddamn unrealistic skill) - And of course good storyline |
 Kininarimasu! Kininarimasu! Kininarimasu! Kininarimasu! Kininarimasu! |
| It's also only a third or so translated and hasn't been touched in almost 2 years. |
NapkinTheElf said: Anyone care to recommend me anything? Completed list here Preferably something of the Psychological/Horror genre, that has been finished. Thanks :) Punpun and 20th Century Boys are on your PTR. So read one of those. |
| @Dullboy Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to write all that and congratulations on finishing! Hopefully I'll be able to catch up on the forms next week (I've been going through RL stuff lately). So, looking over your list there's tons of stuff I don't really know, but I'm actually interested in them now! You always make the discussion aspect fun. I still have some spaces left over so I will check out some of the stuff you mentioned. |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
| @firefel - How about Ode to Kirihito? Art style might be a little old but the story still holds up really well. |
| I've been trying to read manga lately but nothing really caught my interest, I end up dropping them after 2-3 chapters so I was wondering if you could recommend me something addictive (preferably completed but if it's something really good I do not mind ongoing series) fo any of these items: - Read a manga with a main cast mostly of one gender - Read a manga with a non-human main character - Read a manga about food, music or art - Read a manga with an archetype as a main character - Read a manga that has been adapted to live action - Read a manga that has a main character of gender opposite to the demographic and since I'll need one for this eventually... - Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant |

| @Sooru Here are some suggestions: - Read a manga with a non-human main character: Hoshi Mamoru Inu - Read a manga about food, music or art: Gokinjo Monogatari - Read a manga that has been adapted to live action: Oooku - Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant: Litchi☆Hikari Club |
| Thanks @Brand. I've watched Hoshi Mamoru Inu's live action adaptation and liked it very much but never really checked if the manga was translated. I actually read 5-6 chapters of Ooku in the past, I think it was when VIZ Sig still posted chapters of their series online but since they stopped I thought that noone scanlated the series. Did they start scanlating it after all? I'd really like to buy the official release since I like Yoshinaga's works but it's not gonna happen anytime soon. |
|
| @Sooru My bad. I assumed that, uh, since a print exist that scans of that must exist. But searching online just turned up nothing. |
| Ah, nah it's okay. I thought that maybe they've scanned the official release and uploaded on a personal blog or something, since I too was asked a lot and had to refuse multiple times to scan my 'Afterschool Charisma' volumes because it's not available online through scanlations. Though I'd be surprised if they've had scan them to be honest, it's not OOP and not a very old title, I'd never risk to damage the comics while scanning them while the title is still available for purchase. |
|
| Yeah was gonna say last night, but yeah, only way to get Ooku physical copies. And it's on going.(tbf, I think march story has not been scanned either, but it's only 4 or 5 volumes and fairly cheap on american amazon. ) Maybe try... - Read a manga with a non-human main character: Gunnm fits here and you can go with maybe All you need is kill, which is also action girl - Read a manga that has been adapted to live action: Densha otoko |
| I've got two questions: 1. Can I use the following manga for these challenges: » Read a manga about food, music or art: Genkaku Picasso » Read a manga based on real event or person: Innocents Shounen Juujigun 2. When I was completing my fist challenge, I got this recommendation. Can I use it again (I want to read Slam Dunk this time) or do I have to ask for another one? |
| @lubryka 1. Yes 2. I think yes. If not, I (still) recommend that you read slam dunk =) |
| @Yenzi, I tried to find something that might be to your taste : I think you should take a look at The Gods Lie. And then maybe My Heart Is Beating (you could use it for the Manhwa item, if you don't have filled the slot already) |
DullboySep 30, 2016 9:51 AM
|
| I second Gods Lie. I couldn't find anything else in my list that was short and SoL. I mostly read stuff that is long as fuck. Which is why I am SOOOOO far behind. |
| @Sooru I was reading Ooku but it was scanlated up to like chapter 30 and then stopped. I haven't found more since though I really liked how it was going. It was probably dropped due to licensing. I need help with the following, suggestions appreciated: » Read a manga that focuses on non-romantic relationships » Read a manga that focuses on a couple with a romantic relationship » Read a manga that has a main character that is a professional in his field » Read a manga with an archetype as a main character » Read a manga that has a main character of gender opposite to the demographic » Read a manga that has not been adapted in any way » Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant » Read a manga based on real event or person It would be best if it was less than 50 chapters, but if it's really good, I'm willing to read a hundred. |

| @HeNrYTG50 Except for Shigeshoushi and Saishuu Heiki Kanojo, I'll read the rest! Actually, now that I remember I already have one for professional in his field, so I'll just be missing the archetype. |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
| @tsuyokunaru Aww, Saishuu Heiki Kanojo is really good! But it's great that you'll give the rest a chance. :D Be sure to tell me what you think about them. :P |

It was probably dropped due to licensing. They must be the chapters posted by Viz Sig, they used to have a system similar to Chrunchyrolls, but they ripped their translations and they stopped. After School Charisma stopped around 27 chapters, and I remember that I started to read Ooku when they announced that they'd stopped thus I stopped reading it, which was a pity because I really liked the first 7 chapters. tsuyokunaru said: I need help with the following, suggestions appreciated: » Read a manga that focuses on non-romantic relationships Yoningurashi (Maybe this could work, since it's about a family) » Read a manga that focuses on a couple with a romantic relationship Yonensei » Read a manga that has a main character that is a professional in his field Viking » Read a manga that has a main character of gender opposite to the demographic: Ludwig Kakumei » Read a manga that has not been adapted in any way: Donten Prism Solar Car » Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant: About Death . Hope it helps. |

| I come back from the read of National Quiz and it was pretty great, I enjoyed reading it very much. If you are searching for something with a distinctive art style, and if you like the idea of an absurd dystopia were the japanese nation is ruled by a crazy TV quiz emission, then look no further. ^^ Beside, I also recommend to read Baka to Gogh from the same drawing artist, which is a great story about friendship (one of the best I have read in the departement). |

| Hey, can someone recommend a manga to the "» Read a manga recommended to you by another Manga Reading Challenge participant"? I'm into drama/seinen/psychological, something like Kokou no Hito and Oyasumi Punpun. |
