A dated volume carries a day-precision release date. A release line is one edition in one market — a Japanese manga and its English and French editions are three lines of one work. Lines by market and medium:
| market | manga | light novel | manhwa | novel | manhua | other | total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Japanese | 5,878 | 848 | 5 | 143 | 2 | 7 | 6,883 |
| English | 2,566 | 387 | 77 | 45 | 8 | 2 | 3,085 |
| German | 1,440 | 18 | 241 | 4 | 80 | · | 1,783 |
| French | 1,428 | 31 | 175 | 4 | · | · | 1,638 |
| Korean | 2 | · | 55 | 6 | · | · | 63 |
| other markets | 2 | · | · | · | 7 | · | 9 |
| total | 11,316 | 1,284 | 553 | 202 | 97 | 9 | 13,461 |

What it is, and is not
- In: every volume of every line — release date, ISBN and page count where a source carries them — under a stable id (
tome_id, never reused, never re-keyed), across markets, so one work's Japanese, English and French volumes line up. English lines carry the AniList id where one can be placed. - Not in: cover art. The file holds no images; some volumes carry a
cover_urlpointing at the source's own copy. - Not in: anything from the Grand Comics Database. The catalogue is built from Wikipedia facts, openBD, Open Library and BnF; DNB (CC0, the German primary source) is not yet wired in; AniList ids are looked up for the English lines. The pipeline records the source and licence of every value it takes.
