| I'd like to remind all participants that this year the challenge doesn't run until the 31st! Turn-in forms will be received until the 24th of December. The deadline has been fixed on the challenge since January. This year we also wanted to have a few days to check all the forms before diving headfirst into posting next year's challenge, so that's why the deadline ends earlier. |

AudioTsunami said: rika713 said: Regarding #69, reading a related manga, is it fine if it's related to something I also read in 2017? Or does it have to be something I read prior to this year's challenge? the manga you read has to be 2017, the manga it's related to can be anytime. Example: I used Wallman, I read it 3 months ago, it's related to Sun-Ken Rock which I started a couple years ago Katzze said: Any recommendation of the romantic genre? If it were a one-shot, even better Please, I am very late tokidoki Thanks a lot! The example quite helped too :) Here's an another question though Choose a highly rated manga from another challenger who posted on the same page you signed up on For this one, does it mean it's highly rated by the challenger themselves or by MAL? |
"Hateful feelings. Hurtful feelings. Unforgivable feelings. To face one's own feelings is akin to throwing oneself into a bottomless pit, or setting sail on an endless sea. You must not look there. You must not think about it. Though you search your soul on the dark, heaving waves, you must never look in that place." - Kusuriuri |
| 'ello, for #41 Read a manga with a child MC, do the characters have to be listed on MAL's page? I found and read the manga Danshi Koukouseiteki Kazoku Keikaku! with a baby, but unfortunately MAL hasn't listed any characters. I've used anidb's childcare category for this and totally forgot to check it here. Can I still use it or nah? --- rika713 said: Choose a highly rated manga from another challenger who posted on the same page you signed up on For this one, does it mean it's highly rated by the challenger themselves or by MAL? Highly rated by the challenger. |

| @rika713 it means how the challenger rated it, not the average rating on the site @AudioTsunami congrats! I saw your form :D and yeah, I will be assigning more to you soon. With 4 days left I've been more concerned with finishing my own though lol (also, I had an username change!) @NaineLIEz Please include a note for that on your form so we will be aware the characters are not listed but that there is a baby MC |

| hallo it's me again was about to turn in my challenge (woo finally done \o/), that's why I checked over my entries before turning in and noticed something was off q.q So my IPN is #102 and I chose for the requirement 37. (Choose a highly rated manga from another challenger who posted on the same page you signed up on) a manhwa highly rated by abystoma2 (IPN #106), but due to some participants who deleted their sign ups, I ended up on the second page with post #99, while abystoma is still on the third Can I leave this entry how it is, or do I have to pick up another manga? |
"Happy Unbirthday." set by ani ♥ |
| Thank you! 43. Read a manga that has a main character that is a professional in his field Any suggestions for this? I had put 07-ghost for not finding another option, but I do not think it is the most appropriate hahaha |
| @NaineLIEz @omakase Oh, does it have to be rated the highest then? Or any is good as long as it's rated 8+? For example, they rated some manga 8, 9, and 10 respectively but I chose to read, let's say, the one rated 9. That's fine right? |

| Hi everyone! I know this is a bit late, but I need help completing item #60 for the manga challenge, which is to read a manga recommended to me from another participant. I'd like the manga to: - be a completed series (not currently publishing) - be 30 chapters or less in total - be a shounen or seinen series - be published in the year 2000 or later I know this is being a little picky but I'd really appreciate any suggestions! |

密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
| Apologies for the last minute question, I just really want to try to get this one finished this time. I was originally going to read a different series for this, but I don't think I'll be able to start & finish the full series in time, so I'd like to check if I can use a different manga for this item: 37. Choose a highly rated manga from another challenger who posted on the same page you signed up on what I alas do not remember, if the series must have an 8+ MAL rating, or 8+ given for the title by the user reading it? I want to read Totally Captivated, which has an 8.44 on MAL but a 7 by neekoneko Would that be ok to use for this challenge? And speaking of time, has the time the thread will be closed been announced/given? |
  |
| @RulenneClarissa The manga must be highly rated by the participant, not overall MAL score, so that wouldn't count unfortunately. The threads will be closed after the site maintenance that was recently announced. |

Thank you for going through all of those posts AudioTsunami *bows* |
|
| OOOO I didn't know you were doing length restriction holy crap, I just assumed you were trying to sneak under the deadline with a 1 shot or a 1 volume or something give me a sec @RulenneClarissa QTblader has Kakukaku shikajika Neekoneko has Hapi Mari and Hirunaka no Ryuusei Time has Mixed Vegetables, Koe no Katachi, and No.6 RavenSkye has Heart no Kuni no Alice: Wonderful Wonder World PurpleHaze has JoJo Part 1, Pluto, and Devilman Kotoneko-chan has Paradise Kiss and Georgie |
| @omakase The group scanlating Mix just dropped a chapter today, is it imperative I read it before 1am or whenever my list gets checked? |

I've already read a bunch of these (for this year's challenge too ^^;) but will see what I can finish tonight o7 |
|
| @AudioTsunami before your form is checked yo (it won't be today lmao) |

I didn't check the very top or very bottom of the page tho, I was trying to be quick because time is of the essence. |
Ok, let's all hope they don't drop the rest of the volume between now and new years  |
AudioTsunami said: Ok, let's all hope they don't drop the rest of the volume between now and new years I will pray along with you. May the manga gods be kind to us for what remains of this year! And I think I'll try the Alice one - it's been a while since I read a shoujo series that I liked. Time to take another dive into the genre!! |
|
| I have to read 11 volumes until the year is over. lol |

nnnicolas said: stay strong my friend, we shall get through this!I have to read 11 volumes until the year is over. lol |
|
| (new post bc ti's been a while and this is a different question) First of all, thank you to all of the staff for doing this - from organizing to checking to making sure everything goes smoothly in between. My question is in hopes of making the checking part easier (at least with just this one user here) I've been reading the titles for the challenge pretty much up until the thread closed, but my MAL is set to my time zone, so it was early morning of the 25th my time when I last updated, and my MAL entries reflect that (+it had just turned to the 25th in the US at the time or just after I believe). Would those titles not count then? I'd like to know because if so, I would like to downgrade my challenge from Pro and adjust the pattern accordingly (if that's allowed at this point). |
|
| I missed the last date, I had only 2 short mangas left rofl and I thought I was on time, oh well the point for me was to read more and different manga ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :D But nice made challenge, good job to all who did it and thank you ;] |
 |
| @RulenneClarissa they will count, no worries. @Zaiko0 glad you participated! Too bad you couldn't make it in time to turn it. We'll still organize one for next year, so you're invited to participate again. |

|
| In the end, because my friend told me to take up the hardest difficulty and believed him telling me that it was gonna be easy, I lost. It was still very fun and I'll do it again next year https://xss.now.cc/forum/?topicid=1582478&show=550#msg49664587 Out of 20 manga read, 3/10 : 3 5/10 : 2 6/10 : 1 7/10 : 3 8/10 : 6 9/10 : 2 10/10 : 2 1 unnoted |

| I'm devastated. :( I didn't notice that the challenge ended on the 24th and I finish reading TODAY. i.i.i.i.i.i.i |
|
| Rest in peace my turn in dream. </3 I'M SO DUMB URGHHH. ★ Start Date: January 7, 2017 ★ Finish Date: December 31, 2017 ★ Link to your completed manga list: HERE! ★ Completed Manga (at sign-up): 28 ★ Completed Manga (at turn-in): 47 ★ Link to your sign up form: #12 ★ Bingo Card: #109 ★ Difficulty: NOVICE ★ Pattern Bingo Card: ASTERISK, 19 At least, I read some amazing mangá. <3 |
|
| I guess for anyone who's finished and hasn't been checked, if we fail we won't be able to fix it :/ Will this affect the 2018 challenge? Will it not be started until all turn ins have been checked? |
| Quick question: If I were to start with the 2018 challenge (which starts at the 01. January 2018 aka today where I live), can I use the same challenge list posted in the sign-up chat from the 2017 challenge? Or are there major changes to be expected? |
  |
| Well even under this system, you'd have to re-roll your bingo board, but even if major changes do take place I'd expect many categories to be the same, just maybe not you to have the same exact ones. I'd recommend reading something that covers a broad spectrum of the categories listed. |
Shuichi2 said: I guess for anyone who's finished and hasn't been checked, if we fail we won't be able to fix it :/ Will this affect the 2018 challenge? Will it not be started until all turn ins have been checked? I'm assuming you won't be able to read new stuff but substitute stuff that you did read within that year. @omakase, sorry I've been out of town for a week, I'll check everything when I get home. |
| Excited for the 2018 challenge. That said, here's my results for 2017: Out of 49 manga read, 1/10 : 1 2/10 : 0 3/10 : 0 4/10 : 2 5/10 : 2 6/10 : 15 7/10 : 7 8/10 : 16 9/10 : 6 10/10 : 0 The clustering is pretty interesting. |
  |
| Résumé of last years challenge: Manga read: 98 (+1) | Currently reading: 2 Chapters: 1074 (+76), Volumes: 149, Days: 17.30, Mean Score: 6.1 1/10: 2 2/10: 4 3/10: 6 4/10: 7 5/10: 14 6/10: 16 7/10: 25 (+1) 8/10: 14 9/10: 5 10/10: 4 *(+) covers two manga I had to put on hold because the scanlation is still ongoing. Pretty happy with what I've read that year. Probably going for a harder level this year, since I've finished the challenge in september already. |
| I'll also do the summary, though there's not much to summarize cause I was doing the 'Novice' level of difficulty unscored - 2 1/10 - 0 yay 2/10 - 1 3/10 - 1 4/10 - 0 5/10 - 2 6/10 - 0 7/10 - 4 8/10 - 7 9/10 - 1 10/10 - 1 yay re-read: 4 new manga read: 15 @Schlopsi I've read Sorenari ni Shinken Nan desu from your favorites for the "37 - Choose a highly rated manga from another challenger who posted on the same page you signed up on", it was really great ^^ Turned out to be the best yaoi I've read so far. |
 |
| @fuyuki Ha, I am happy to hear that! It is quite a mature/grown up story and not as clichéd as typical Yaoi-stories. Glad you liked it. :) |
| Did the full card. Summary is Unscored(not on MAL) - 3 2/10 - 6 4/10 - 9 6/10 - 15 8/10 - 11 10/10 - 0 =( Ongoing - 5 The stuff that's not on MAL was a mixed bag. 2 one shots, 1 was real good the other was not good. The other was a Korean Webtoon that was decent enough. The ongoing stuff was probably the closest to being 10s (dungeon meshi and my hero academy, specifically). I feel that if I was willing to dedicate more time to reading I could of had a more enjoyable year instead of slogging through short bad stuff. |
