| I have a few questions... 1) I don't know where to find a mange for #27 Read a manga one-shot that became a prototype for a longer series. Any suggestions? 2) Does Koizora count for #51 Read a manga based on real event or person ? I heard it's a biography of the author (or rather the original novel is) 3) I would appreciate a suggestion for #42 Read a manga that has a main character that is a professional in their field. I'd love to read a medical manga or sth about racing... Basically anything but war, mecha or sports is okay with me. 4) Please suggest sth for #66. Please no war, mecha or sports manga. I really like ecchi, shoujo, yuri and moe. Thanks for helping me out in advance :) |
I wanted to enjoy every second, but time went by too fast. As time has long run out, we grow more distant with every heartbeat. You're so close, yet so far... Memories are fading and my heart's breaking. Please be happy. Because I can't. I will never forget you. |
| What can I do if I'm doing a particular challenge inside the MRC and I don't have any recs that meet the criteria for #66: Watch something recommended by MAL or MALgraph?

Thanks for helping me out in advance :) 1- You can read the FAQ. @MRC_mod said that she would update that to add some more items, but there are a few already. I'm using a yuri (Shinigami Alice), for that item. 2- If it's a biography, then it should be valid. 3- Probably someone can rec you something better, but Gun-Jou is a short SoL about someone who runs semi-professionally. The other main character is a teacher, just in case it doesn't count. 4- I'm doing a yuri-only challenge, but I've not read a lot of them (30 completed manga, so you can guess). Fragtime is a nice an easy read. Only 18 chapters, though. If you're looking for something longer, maybe a relatively mainstream anime like Octave is ok for you. |

Kino_no_Tabi said: txnca said: So, what the heck is a CD Drama? It's from #31 on the manga challenge. Thanks for the help! @txnca A CD Drama is an audio drama. Basically, you're listening to voice actors/actresses act out a scene or a story. Kind of like the radio shows of older times when they used to broadcast voice-dramatized stories. For the challenge, since it's asking for a manga that has been adapted to drama cd, I recommend checking out this site; it lists many of them: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?category=Adapted+to+Drama+CD Thank you very much! I had looked at that site earlier and clicked on the CD Drama in advanced search but it only brought up 6 or so. Figured there had to be more just wasn't sure how to show them. Your link shows pages of them! I certainly appreciate it! |

| @zetsubouhime Hmm unfortunately there's just too much of it published in the 90s, so I won't count it. @Conde_Mohr Wait it out, maybe after you read a bunch of a particular genre the suggestions will default to that genre more often. @Sweey Yes, Koizora counts for the real person item. |

Selphie64 said: Zenit said: Can I have a recommendation for challenge #60? If you liked Monster and Death Note, you could give Liar Game a chance, or maybe ES: Eternal Sabbath or Pandora Hearts. TimeToRepent said: I'm looking for a manga suggestion, for the task #60. Preferably something not too long, with some action and drama. ES: Eternal Sabbath, Boku dake ga Inai Machi or Kimi no Knife. For a shorter read, Shinrei Tantei Yakumo: Akai Hitomi wa Shitteiru and Hoshi no Ponko to Toufuya Reiko. Though they are none of them typical shounen style action... Thanks. I'll pick up Boku Dake ga Inai Machi.. |

lady_freyja said: Kassitero said: Well i need recs for number 60, some not generics manga should be ok. Well, « not generic » is relative. Palepoli is what I call « not generic ». But if it's too much « not generic » for you, then try… I dunno, Tsuki no Ko for example. More conventional, but pretty good. Thanks for your recs, i don't know them, so i will read it. |
Twili-Arsis said: Hi! Could I please get some good manga recommendations for these 2 challenges? 56. Read a Sports, Martial Arts, Cars or Games manga 67. Read a manga that starts with the same second letter of your username I don't usually read sports manga so I would prefer games for #56. I read Liar Game and it is one of my favorite manga, so I would love to read something similar. But no more than 100 chapters long please XD And for #67 the letter would be "w". I don't know many titles like such besides Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan which I'm already reading for #23. Any suggestions? 56. Welcome to the Ballroom if you want something on-going. The problem with "Game" genre is a large number of them just aren't translated. You can try Hikari no Go or Bus Game. 67. Wild Adapter but it's on like indefinite hiatus. |

So is Kokou no Hito |

| Hi, I have a question about this challenge: Read a manga that started serialization the year you joined MAL I have the length restriction, and since there aren't manga with +5 volumes which started in 2016, what do I do? xD |
 |
| Hi, can someone recommend me a manga for #60 too? Also, I need a manga based on a real event/person (#51) I would prefer something not too long , but not too short either (min 5 vol). I usually read shoujo/romance, but I wouldn't mind other genres. Thank you!! |

I usually read shoujo/romance, but I wouldn't mind other genres. Thank you!! For #51, both Kakukaku Shikajika and Ito Junji no Neko Nikki: Yon & Mu (if you're a cat lover) are both good reads. For #60, a superb shoujo series is Koi dano Ai dano, but then one should really read the shorter prequel Warau Kanoko-sama as well. Or you could try some cute, non-romance-but-nevertheless-smile-inducing fluff like Gokicha or Yotsuba! |

| @Meiyiing Densha Otoko and Natsu no Zenjitsu are both romance and exceptional. |
| Need a recommendation for 60, thank you ^^ |
| @Selphie64 Thanks for your recommendations!! I'll go check Koi dano Ai dano and Gokicha ^^ I already used Kakukaku Shikajika for ''a main character that is a professional in his field'' (#43) Does anyone else have recs for #51 (a manga based on a real event/person)? Or a manga that has a main character that is a professional in his field? |

NeonAlchsmith said: KenApplepi said: Need a recommendation for 60, thank you ^^ @KenApplepi Based in your favorites (I'm sorry if my rec. sucks..., I'm terrible at recommending titles): How about Kanshinkan Tsunemori Akane? Status: Completed Length: vol.6, ch.27 Tags: Sci-Fi, Psychological, Action, Mystery Mouryou no Yurikago Status: Completed Length: vol.6, ch.41 Tags: Action, Mystery, Horror, Ecchi, Drama Boku Dake ga Inai Machi Status: Completed Length: vol.9, ch.49 Tags: Mystery, Supernatural, Psychological Thank you very much, all three seem interesting ^^ |
NeonAlchsmith said: Hello! :) Could anyone be so kind as to help me recommending a manga title? I am providing my Manga List here so you won't recommend something I have already read. If possible I would like to ask you to follow these restrictions: Status: completed Length: short (no longer than 4~5 volumes) I see you've liked these mangaka before, so I'll go with Beast Master, a cute read, or Raiden 18. Else, Warau Kanoko-sama, +α no Tachiichi, Sukima-Shiki and Kamisama no Iutoori are all fun, short and completely scanlated reads. |

| Going to do Manga Challenge 60 which means I have to take a recommendation from one of you guys. Any genre will do but I would prefer it to be under 10 volumes because college just started. I'll read the first to reply. |

| i just sign up for this challenge today, can i use manga that i completed week ago ? also can someone recommend me some manga for #60 :) here is my list thanks in advance |

| @lounge23 You can use whatever manga you want as long as you started reading it on 2017. If you completed it a week ago but started reading it on December 31, it's not valid. As for recommendations, I'd suggest Akumetsu, Chikan Otoko, Kiseijuu, Planetes, Battle Royale, I hope you like one of them. :) |
| @HeNrYTG50 Thank you, i read solanin last week. Months after i read punpun because im not ready yet for another asano inio manga haha i'll take chikan otoko or planetes for the challenge whichever comes first and i also interested in akumetsu so ill put it in my plan-to-read list. thanks again |

| Hi! Can somebody help me with #12? It's to read a manga written by someone from the Year 24 Group. Most mangaka doesn't tell their actual age so I'd appreciate the help! |

lady_freyja said: I was about to ask this too. Thank you for the Q&A!makotoed said: Hi! Can somebody help me with #12? It's to read a manga written by someone from the Year 24 Group. Most mangaka doesn't tell their actual age so I'd appreciate the help! It's explained in the FAQ in the first post. It's not actually about the age of the mangaka, it's just the name given to a group of mangaka. For the lack of better word, they represent an "artistic movement" of the manga (like the gekiga of the challenge #6) that heavily influenced shōjo and josei manga. Here the mangaka valid for the challenge: — Moto Hagio — Keiko Takemiya — Yumiko Ōshima — Ryōko Yamagishi — Shio Satō — Yasuko Aoike — Riyoko Ikeda (and some unscanlated ones) Since you said on your profile that you enjoy BL manga, the Year 24 are the progenitors of that genre. 3 of their seminal BL works: — From Eroica With Love: a comedy BL. (an episodic manga) — Heart of Thomas: a serious and platonic BL. — Kaze to Ki no Uta: a serious and erotic BL. (warning: on-going scanlation) Of course they did far more BL, like Marginal which is actually an hard sci-fi work with BL. And of course, they also did non-BL works (historical fiction, horror, fantasy, sci-fi et cætera…), they even introduced yuri into manga. I was also looking to read some more BL manga, so this is perfect for me ^~^ |
