The index / Data notes
Sources & methodology.
Where the numbers come from, what they mean, and what stays on your device.
The wider library combines separately licensed comic and anime indexes. Each has its own download, capture date, and attribution on the library page.
Profiles distinguish publisher information, observed scenes, and original ideas for games.
MangaBaka
Live opt-in search and dated chart snapshots use the MangaBaka API. MangaBaka-original data is available for noncommercial use under its data license and attribution rules. Upstream records have their own terms. The prototype shows a narrow set of bibliographic facts and MangaBaka popularity ranks, with source links.
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 applies to the MangaBaka-original data reproduced here. Title profiles show the provider’s aggregate rating on its 100-point scale, popularity ranks, and reader-overlap suggestions where matched. The suggestions come from MangaBaka reader activity.
MangaUpdates
Weekly rank and Bayesian rating come from the MangaUpdates API for manually matched titles. An average, its vote count, and a ranking position are separate pieces of information. Written reviews stay on the source site.
Publisher editions
Curated profiles link to publishers or licensed platforms. Original start year refers to the comic, and edition dates refer to the named platform and language. Availability, free chapters and purchase options depend on region and publisher.
The Japanese print editions pair records from theJapanese National Bibliographyand the Media Arts Database dataset. Atlas checks the ISBN and edition, and formats the dates at their recorded precision.
Atlas title cards and the homepage illustration are original graphics. They are decorative, rather than official covers.
Wikidata work relationships
A small set of reviewed profiles links comics to their source novels or anime adaptations. Each link pairs a publisher or studio source with a directionalWikidata statement.Wikidata structured data is CC0.
