Field notes
Entries pair creator names with short plot descriptions and format or volume counts; some works appear with separate novel and comic editions. Navigation divides the catalog by country, trope, completion status, and whether an English edition is available. The homepage also includes a dated “Out soon” list and invites readers to suggest missing titles. Its claim that listings point only to official, licensed sources is stated on the page, not independently verified here.
