I've been thinking that for over a decade but i guess nobody's ever bothered to change it despite no GT manga existing.

Actually there IS a Dragon Ball GT manga, but it came out later on.

Even if it's an original storyline, it's one that was created from the Dragon Ball Manga. MAL treats all its entries like that.

@unn4meless There was an anime comic released. It was based on Dragon Ball GT anime. Technically, it wasn't a manga, but an anime comic. ;p

Funfact: there is a doujinshi adapting DBGT storyline by emulating the Toriyama-sensei's style. It's fun and really well-done.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes has its source as 'Game', which is correct, but it's also a part of DB like GT. So why would they be treated differently?

Super Dragon Ball Heroes is a direct adaptation of the game, which itself was created from the Dragon Ball Manga. That does seems inconsistent indeed, but i guess they prioritize such relations instead of the "Original" tag, which was meant to be used for works not created from established franchises.

Ahh fair enough. I guess it makes sense that 'Original' would be exclusive to anime that are not based on existing franchises and thus are truly original. Meanwhile for things like GT they pick the next best thing, which would be the original manga in this case since that's what it's a continuation of.

Thanks, I think I understand the logic a bit more now.

It's not that simple, yes is based on a story which its original source is a comic, but GT isn't based on Akira Toriyama's original work, but instead its premises come from Toei's Dragon Ball Z.
It could be both, it depends on what you feel. I would say it's an original work.

In that case it should be the comic having its source as the animated series ๐Ÿ˜‚

the story is a spin off based on Dragon Ball manga so that is why the source is manga
