 |
* If the manga is only 1 volume, it is not eligible for the event. Telework Yotabanashi Volumes: 1 Now what? BTW this one looks interesting for me. |
 |
| Hm there's a few I planned on reading, decisions decisions |
 |
| Hell Yeah!!! One my selections made to the Manga Challenge Stack for 2025. There are so many options in my PTR list and some of the titles I'm reading already. I think I'm going to go with my selection Madan no Ichi or Ichi The Witch. I also might start on Mayonaka Heart Tune(Harem) and Beat & Motion. |
 |
| Time to get the reading glasses on, some long nights of reading await! |
 |
| @Horizon248 chad spotted! Damn there is a lot in this years challenge. I got my eyes heavy on Tokyo Higoro, Mahou Shoujo Jihen, and Lonely Girl ni Sakaraenai. Tower Dungeon I fully plan on reading because Nihei but will likely hold off till the physicals drop. <3 |
Kineta said: See Final List ( •̀ᴗ•́ )✧ Anyone else having trouble loading this page? Nice to see 100 Ghost Stories made it though - good kick in the pants to pick up the couple volumes that are out, and have that earn my badge for two birds in one stone 👍 |

| @divlyfein o/ What's good my brother! I read 2 chapters of Suicide Girl last night, a little test drive if you would. Almost caught my attention, but I think I'm gonna look in another direction. Mahou Shoujo Jihen and Lonely Girl ni Sakaraenai are probably the two I'm most interested in otherwise. Look forward to seeing what you choose! |
| So exciting. I see some pretty great titles there! Thank you so much for putting it together. |

Telework Yotabanashi

| @junpet It's probably disqualified because it's being used as a joker in the yearly Manga Reading Challenge. But don't let that stop you from reading it, with or without using it as a excuse to sign up for the MRC. |
   |
| Really glad to see Tokyo These Days in the list so I have the opportunity to read something I own! Home Office Romance also looks like a cute one volume series I'll plan to keep an eye out for at my library. |
  |
| let's begin. Gokurakugai seems good |
| going with the summer hikaru died |
| I really thought I missed this one. Good thing I was wrong. |
| Love the profile badges satisfied face xD |
 |
| The recommendations this year are superb, I like quite a few of them. Suddenly I have a lot more stuff to read, thanks! |

| Nice So happy to see Centuria on the list. I wanted to recommend it myself but tbh I felt someone else would do that, and I was RIGHT! Though next year, I won't let the opportunity pass me by. I wish there were more completed items on the list too, I always try to avoid reading publishing manga but it seems I have no choice lol. |

| @ihn Yep! Just make sure you click the "Restack" button, like the gif shows in the first post :) |

| @junpet You're still welcome to read that manga. It just doesn't count for the badge challenge. So if you would like the badge, then you need to read another title, too. @BrainpanSonata MRC isn't related to this. Must be a happy coincidence :) We also had one title that was 1 volume long on the 2023 and 2024 lists. |

| Thank you! Please don't put such titles on the list, which does not give the badge. |
|
| I was too distracted by the April Fools chatbot to notice this had already started but it looks like there's no rush. I'm thinking of reading Witch Hat Atelier for this years challenge as I've heard a lot of good things about it. Oh right I was also happy to see Otome Kaijuu Caramelizer here as I really liked that one. |
