Just in case people need a place to map out their progress outside of the comment section, I wanted to set up this topic. Call out for letters you are having issues with, recommend good reads (haha), keep track of the letters you have already done, etc. Enjoy!

I need to read more too! I should really get to updating my list! I'm always excited to see people trying out the challenges!

I'm also in! I'm a bit late, but I'm sure I can finish the challenge before school begins or, at the very least, before 2014. d: Also, I'm personally counting re-reads since I sorta stopped reading manga for quite a while and want to rediscover my love for it through the use of some favorites. Hope that's okay for the challenge~ ^-^

Okay peeps! I need some ideas for the letters E, R and X (for this second round of the ABC challenge). I tried Eureka Seven but the library doesn't have the first volume and I read Eternal Sabbath for the first ABC Challenge.

I tried Rave Master and Rozen Maiden for R but once again, library doesn't have the series or has random volumes (like 3,5,6). Last time I read Red River.

Tried x/1999 and Mixed Vegetables, same problem as above :( Last time I read xxxHolic.

Anyone got any title suggestions for those letters? For X, I'm just looking for the letter X anywhere in the title because that's what it'll probably come down to. Let me know!

Hmm. I used Emma and Rurouni Kenshin last time. Using Rosario Vampire this time for R (and Eternal Sabbath for E, which doesn't help you). No idea on X. Will be struggling on that one myself.

Yeah, I might have to go with Rurouni Kenshin, though I don't have much desire to read it -_- I've already read Rosario + Vampire. Eternal Sabbath is awesome! So I hope you enjoy it!

I might just cave and buy volume 1 of Mixed Vegetables cuz I've wanted to read it for a while and it's pretty cheap used on Amazon.

I was also thinking about cheating a bit and going to Battle Royale for R cuz I really want to read that and I also really want to read Bride of the Water God so I figured I'd use Bride for B and Battle Royale for R ;)

The library doesn't have Emma either :( They had Eureka Seven last time we did the challenge because I almost read that instead of Eternal Sabbath but now they only have volumes 3 and 6. Wtf? Ugh I don't know what it is about the people who read manga in our library system but the poor library is constantly losing volumes. It really ticks me off these people are so irresponsible. But that's a whole different topic :p

Thanks for the suggestions Mike!

You're welcome! Hope you find some good stuff to read.

Eternal Sabbath and Rosario Vampire are actually both rereads for me. It's been a couple years on each and I've wanted to read both again from the beginning (as I loved both) so using them here. I've read so much manga and really like rereading things so if I didn't count rereads I'd never manage any challenges.

Let me know how Battle Royale is. Loved the novel but a little unsure if I could handle visual depictions of the violence so have stayed away from the manga & movie.

Will do! I also love to re-read series (don't even ask me how many times I've read the Saiyuki series :p) but because I keep the original date listed as to when I read them, they won't count for the new challenges ;)

Gotcha. I update the date an increase the "read count."

Yesss for Library Wars and Yotsuba!! Two of my favorite series

I've been wanting to read Library Wars for quite some time! So figured I might as well do it! Lol

Are you planning on reading it online?

No. Luckily I live in a big metro area with a giant library system, so I'll get it from the library. I do not read manga online for a multitude of reasons.

I am lucky enough to have two really good library systems near me however I do read manga online sometimes although not very often. Usually when I read manga online it is because the series has stopped being published in the USA.

The ABC Challenge is still open and does not end until December 31, 2015. This section is not where to join the challenge though. I added the link for that in this comment though. To add a book so it is clickable you just have to click on the add book / author across from where it says comment on top of your writing box. After that you just look up your book and click add. I hope this helps you. Good Luck in the ABC Challenge.
