Return of the ABC Challenge!

[Selena]

For this challenge, you will read one manga starting with each letter of the alphabet, for a grand total of 26 books!

Use this thread to keep track of what you've read and get ideas for letters you haven't filled in yet!

[Selena]

So I'll be giving this challenge a shot. :) I'll probably need some help near the end to complete it.

[Fai]

Sounds like a fun challenge! :D

How goes everyone's challenge? :D

[Samantha wickedshizuku]

Do you have to go in alphabetical order?
Or is random okay?

You're welcome to make it harder by going in alphabetical order, but I've just been reading to represent each letter :)

[Samantha wickedshizuku]

Oh okay. Thanks.

[Selena]

We're usually pretty loose on the challenge front. So long as you think it satisfies the challenge, you're good to go.

I forgot to ask if we can include Manhwa?

Whoops! I just saw this. Sorry about that.

Manwha counts if you think it does. I'm pretty laid back about this things. :)

[Selena]

I only need 6 more books. :D Though, now I'm on the letters I always have trouble finding things for. I guess I could reread a volume of xxxHolic for X, but any suggestions for my other missing letters?

[Selena]

Any recommendations for V or Z?

[Cindy III]

I don't have anything for Z either. For V I have Voice Over and Vampire Game as possible reads. For Q I might read QQ sweeper or Queen's Quality. Anybody got anything for U.

[Selena]

Z could be Zero's Familiar, but I wasn't that big on the anime for that one.

Another V is Vampire Knight, but again, wasn't fond of that one. ^^;;;

You could do Umineko or Uzumaki for U.

[Cindy III]

Thanks for the suggestions.

[Selena]

We're getting to the end of the challenge, and I just need 3 more books! :)

How is everyone else doing on their challenge?

Also, does anyone have a good recommendation for Z? I found a list of them here, but other than ones I recognize as having read already, I don't know which one's are any good. ^^;;;

[Cindy III]

I was trying to read only shojo/josei manga, but I will have to include shonen.

@Selena - I've read Zombie-Loan, which I did like. Been a while since I've read it though. I like the Legend of Zelda books too because I played some of the games. I just read the Ocarina of Time ones and some of Wind Waker.

I read the first two volumes of Zombie-Loan. They were okay. As proven by the fact I totally forgot about them until you brought them up. :p

[Selena]

How did this challenge go for you guys? Did you have fun? Were you able to complete it? :)

[Tiffany]

I had fun but I'm not sure I can complete it. xD Fun is what matters though.

Ha ha, yeah. Some of the letters are really, really hard to fill in because of Japanese lacking our letters. :)

Hi Amber, this challenge ended a while ago. You could enter our current bi-monthly challenge or our current yearly challenge by following the links, or you can sit tight and wait for our next bi-monthly challenge. :)

[Amber]

Sorry. I thought this was an anytime Challenge. Didn't know that they were bimonthly and yearly challenges.
