I wanted to make everyone suffer as much as I suffer. For gekiga, Abandon the Old in Tokyo would work. @kitii7 just as @lady_freyja said, I would consider the narrator or the one whose point of view the story is done, so Ouran wouldn't really count. Couldn't find MAL entry. Will it count anyway? lubryka said: @Hanzeon @MRC_mod Challenge 32 is not that bad. At least, you know what to expect. I need manga for "43. Read a manga that has a main character that is a professional in his field." Something at least 5 volumes long and preferably finished. Even if you know it's going to be bad, you'll probably still won't like the manga. Still, it's not THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT bad, but it's kind of sadistic by the @MRC_mod part and masochist by the challenger's part. |

| Hello, folks! I need a recommendation for the item 60, so if you could suggest me any manga I'd be very thankful. I'm open to anything, preferably already ended. |
| Hello, everyone. If I could get a manga recommendation for item 60, that would be appreciated. I would prefer anything as long as it over 5+ volumes and has already ended. |

It's still only one volume - most of the titles with the score below 6 are very short and I think I even saw some oneshots among them. The challenge is unpleasant but doable. And THIS is masochistic. |

lady_freyja said: @Hanzeon @lubryka Yeah, there is a tons of one-shot rated bellow 6, at least on the shōjo/josei side. And Zannen nagara Chigaimasu is a solid value; 15 pages, and definitely horrendous, to the point that some people manage to get enjoyment from it. Thanks for the recommendation. Do you have any good gekiga manga to recommend? The one that @MRC_mod recommend didn't have an entry on MAL. |

i forgot to @ the mod. whoops! @MRC_mod |

lady_freyja said: It's not on MAL, but it's on BU so it does count for the challenge. Honestly, almost all the gekiga I read so far, I read physical copies, and most of them aren't scanlated anyway. The only one I read online was Lady Snowblood. Which is, while still pretty enjoyable, is in my eyes the least good gekiga from Kamimura. But Kamimura usually did social chronicles, which I enjoy, while LS is an action gekiga (but still with a nice historical perspective), and I'm less receptive to that kind of works. But, Kamimura is my second fav' author after Hagio and LS is his only work scanlated, so of course I would recommend it anyway. へへ Especially if you liked the movie Kill Bill, that was inspired by Snowblood. I'm not the good person to ask for gekiga, except if you're French with access to a library in order to loan them. へへ Thank you both for the recommendation, I'll read Lady Snowblood soon. Also, unfortunately, I'm not French, I'm Brazilian, so it's even harder to have physical manga, since there aren't many publishers here (and the ones that we have, are actually worst than American scanlation, curse you, JBC) |

| Can someone recommend me a manga that is less than 100 chapters? No yaoi please. |
| Deliveries go here pls <3 Candy Kingdom (∩^o^)⊃━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ |
| @afro80 You have Tsukasa Hojo's City Hunter on Plan to read, so how about trying F. Compo? It's completed in 102 chapters but so much fun and heart-warming. I hope you will enjoy ;) @Enrico45 You seem to like a lot of detective/mystery series so maybe Shibatora? @Hinaaa Are you a fan of yuri manga too? :D If that's the case, I'll give you one of my yuri favorite: Kimi Koi Limit. It's only 9 chapters long. If anyone could give me a nice recommendation too I'd be thankful. I need a series with 5 volumes up that isn't already on the list thanks :) |

| Hello~ Can anyone recommend me a manga for #60? Anythings works, but if possible I'd like something historical/fantasy ( and it has already ended). |
  |
| @gingermoon Try Pandora Hearts :D |
Thanks! But I have it on my "on hold" list so I don't know if I can use it... unless I re-start from the beginning? |
|
lady_freyja said: Yup, in that situation you must restart it from zero if you want to use it for the challenge. In absolute, you can even re-read something you already read(completed) in the past. Although it's not really the point of that challenge, which is meant to "force" you to explore manga. Thanks! Then I'll just do that! |

I recommend to you to read Ansatsu Kyoushitsu, I think it's very funny and it gets pretty interesting when the plot needs to be that way. Also, if doesn't seem charming to you, Chobits is a romance story about if a person can fall in love with an artificial intelligence, though I don't like it as much as Ansatsu Kyoshitsu. I hope you like some of my purposes :) |

| Coming in late, but this'll be my first year trying it. I want to get my MAL updated a lot, and I'll be rereading a few series. Anyone have any recs for #60? Similarly, anyone have any general recommendations for year 24 manga? Reading up to current in an ongoing counts, right? Assuming the fact that it's ongoing doesn't ignore the conditions of the request, that is. And a final question: Do doujin count if they're on MAL? |

| @romiress for 60: Kakukaku Shikajika Ran and the grey world Lucifer and Biscuit hammer Slam dunk Year 24: I have not read either work but I've heard that Terra e... and Heart of Thomas are certified classics. Not only do you need to catch up on ongoing but you must STAY caught up until you turn your challenge in. I don't know doujin specific rules, but I know anything on MAL counts, and I know that in the case of webtoons(this is especially the case for korean categories) that linking to bakaupdates is totally acceptable. |

| Hey guys, Can someone recommend me a manga? I like the most seinen and psychological genre :) And I'd prefer an completed manga. Thanks :) |
 |
| @Nanashi_x3 Some great ones: Monster, 20th Century Boys, Liar Game, Homunculus, Akumetsu, Oyasumi Punpun. |
| @HeNrYTG50 Thanks! They all seem really good :D |

| I have a question about the prodigious title for the challenge - is there a series that fits this but has more than 5 volumes? 25. Read a manga that started publishing last year: Additionally, I'm looking for suggestions for item # 60 :) |

Thanks, added all three and I'll definitely grab one of them. lady_freyja said: AudioTsunami said: Year 24: I have not read either work but I've heard that Terra e... and Heart of Thomas are certified classics. I concur. @Romiress, another "certified classic" would be Versailles no Bara. There is other great works, but those 3 are the "big 3" for what is fully scanlated. Because otherwise, Poe no Ichizoku, Kaze to Ki no Uta or Hi Izuru Tokoro no Tenshi are other examples of "certified classics", but sadly not fully scanlated. And something of easy access would be 11-nin Iru!: short an compelling. EDIT: oh Romiress, I see you choose Zankoku? Yup it's great, it's my fav' manga and it wasn't highly prized for nothing. But its subject is so touchy, it's a really heavy work and it's quite long, so if I recommend it to people who like dark/heavy/psychological stuffs, it's certainly not a "general recommendation". へへ’ But I hope you'll enjoy it. :) I am definitely into the psychological stuff, but I'm not sure if I'll grab it! At this point I'm throwing recommended things onto my plan to read to check over more closely. Terra e... and Versailles no Bara both look interesting to me!

Conde_Mohr said: Two days ago (or was it yesterday?), I did an Excel to help myself with the Anime Watching Challenge and, since I think it turned up pretty useful, I offered @AWC_mod to share it. After seing that it was ok, they asked me to adapt it for the Manga Reading Challenge and post it here to see if @MRC_mod thinks the same way. I wrote a complete pdf guide (which is only a page and a half, images included) to explain everything. It's made for the AWC, but the MRC sheets work exactly the same way, so there should be no confusion. I'll also post a quick use guide here if you don't feel like opening it. With this Excel you'll be able to easily keep track of both your Anime and Manga Challenges, as well as semi-automatically write your posts for the challenge list. Here's the link to the Excel file. If you have some doubts about how to use it, you found something which could be improved/added (or you did it yourself), or want to give feedback of some kind, feel free to mention me in this thread. If someone is crazy enough to send me an Excel sheet with all the bingo cards available, I could be crazy enough to automatise the process. Changelog: Any chance of this being reuploaded? Looks like it's down for me. |

| @Conde_Mohr Weird bug that popped up. If I put my bingo number in as 67, it overwrites No. 66 on the Bingo Card (Manga) page. My card is 118, if it helps, and I'm going for a full card. |
|
| @RulenneClarissa @Romiress Good catch, I'll include that as exempt from the title. Also @Romiress would you mind being more specific with the bug? When you say you "put my bingo number in as 67, it overwrites No. 66 on the Bingo Card (Manga) page" do you mean you're manually using 67 as your free item or something else? I'm not sure I understand the issue and @Conde_Mohr may not either. Sorry for the bother! @JonStark Any preference in terms of length or genre? I'm guessing you're asking for a recommendation that could fit this item. Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna, Death Note and Bakuman would work, but they're kind of long, if you want something shorter, let me know. |

I'm not sure I understand the issue and @Count_Mohr may not either. Sorry for the bother! Sorry, I'm not super familiar with the way the spreadsheet works so I'm having a hard time explaining it. In general terms, you fill out the free space challenge on the pink square of your bingo card. When I put in, say, #48, the first listing on the same page changes to read '48 Free: Read a manga about food, music, or art'. When I fill in the pink square as 67, the first listing changes (correctly) to '67 Free: Read a manga that starts with the same second letter of your username'. However, farther down the list, where it previously listed out 65-66-69, it now lists out 65-67-69. My listing for 66 is overwritten by a second listing for 67. Hopefully that clarifies things a bit. In more general terms, I'd love come recommendations for 02 (short story collection), 44 (related to Japanese culture), and 49 (Folklore or Mythology) if anyone has any suggestions. |
