Report Katayone's Profile Manga DB Moderator

Hey, I had a couple of Manga DB questions:

1. For Honnou Switch, is there a reason why it's listed as completed at eight volumes? JP Kodansha
   
2. Is Manga Time Kirara MAX considered a seinen magazine? There are a few entries that are tagged as 'seinen', however, most of the more recent entries are not tagged as such.
   

Also, I noticed that you have a few interest stacks for 'Full Color Manga.' If you ever decide to make a third one, here's a list of manga are, well, in full color:

hello, somebody else contributed things for your stack, doin time, and i also have a contribution. it is Gokuchuu!

hello !!! sorry for the random comment, needed some help on a manhwa !!

so this manhwa Existence is officially 72 chapters but in MAL database it is marked with 16 chapters, is there any error on MAL's end or that is just how it is ?

Hi,

I noticed your Interest Stack, Doin' Time. I think these manga might fit in if you would like to add them:

* Cake no Kirenai Hikou Shounen-tachi
* Gokudou no Shokutaku: Gokuchuu-hen
* Keimusho no Mae

Hello, sorry to bother but can these get approved?

that is spooky 😨but be warned the real danger is the 2nd half of the book, bc you might go insane from boredom xD

OMG I LOVE THE KING IN YELLOW

Awesome, thanks!

Ohh thanks. I don't really know anything about manhwa publishers, I've only read several titles published by the likes of Drawn and Quarterly (war memoirs and such), so thanks for the heads up.

Oof, the good ol' censorship sailing the seas. I'd love to see what else out there is censored. It took me years to realize how bad the "editing" was for Viz's Pokemon manga. I think it was called The Electric Tale of Pikachu? They wiped out every sign of cleavage with some awful ink work. It was definitely a wake up call in my younger years😆 But best of luck, I'll def be checking it out!

Thanks for sending the request! That's true about the stacks being public, but it'd be easier for me to click through your list to find things (I'm not lazy or anything, ehehe😅). And yeah, I noticed not all of them were made by you after the fact lol, but they're just as interesting, so it's a bonus curated list~👍 Don't worry, I won't be spamming ya.

And yep; I was lucky to not have been part of that, but I saw others complain in waves about it.😔 I hope Dark Horse improves on their work, especially now that manga/anime is all the rage now. Only time can tell on that one. Their localizations are top-notch, so it'd be a waste not to.

can you approve this light novel pls :)

I see, thanks. Are there any notifications for it, like the ones you get if your manga submission gets approved or denied?

No problem, glad I could help!👍

I think you definitely hit it on the nose with that info, and I feel exactly the same. I always go "ohno" when a decent series gets licensed by them, haha. They even botched the Berserk manga reprints, taking sooo long after the Golden Age movies; it was embarrassing! Udon's definitely worse. These companies take on more than they can chew, or don't know their audience/are not aware of how to market or whatnot. But no company, big or small, is exempt from axing a series, unfortunately, as proven by your stack.

The Ninja Slayer fiasco is such a shame because the manga is so much different from the anime (although I enjoyed that, too😆), but I can understand the reluctance of a reader who isn't about taking a dive like that, esp. when money is involved. Ahh, if only relicensing wasn't so complicated...

Anyway, there's plenty of stories to tell, and I think it's important to remember these misfortunes in the industry. So thanks for all the info and the cool stack. I noticed you've made a ton, so is it okay if I send you a friend request so I can lurk them? Teehee.
