Field notes
Entries pair English titles with Japanese titles or transliterations, creator names, short plot descriptions, and volume counts. The visible shelves let readers browse by language availability, completion, and tropes including contemporary, comedy, fantasy, and slice of life. The homepage says its links are official and licensed; that claim is not independently verified by the extracted page.
