Manga Book Club discussion

Need to find a librarian for a literary emergency or a fix a Goodreads blunder? Here is the place to locate one in our very own group, or offer your librarian services to those in need.

I am a librarian. Willing to help, as I can.

Same here :)

Hi, I'm also a librarian and looking forward to help in the manga genre. :D

Konnichiwa! I'm a Librarian too!

I'm a librarian. :D

librarian desu

Is this Goodread blunders in general or specifically for this group? I recently got SGT Frog volume 21 and it has no cover on here. :)

I'm a librarian, too. :) I checked on the Sgt. Frog issue and it looks like someone fixed it. I think you can mention any discrepancies that you see on Goodreads here. :)

Sweet now if only we could get someone to license SGT Frog so we can get more.:)

Oh I found a new one. The cover art for Monster Musume volume 4 is actually of volume 5 which is not out until November.

I fixed 4 and 5. :)

Looks good. Maybe I should scan the covers of books I own that are not on the site for you. :)

I'm also a Goodreads Librarian.

The Sacred Blacksmith Vol. 8 Requires a proper cover please. Thanks. :)

Nurse Hitomi's Monster Infirmary Vol. 1 Here is another manga that needs an English Cover. Thanks:)

Done and done. :D That Sacred Blacksmith cover was surprisingly hard to find -- I could find volume 9 but even Amazon didn't have the English cover for vol. 8! Finally found it on the publisher's website. ;)

Thanks for your hard work.:)

Ian wrote: "Thanks for your hard work.:)"

Hehe, well I can't stand to see a book without its cover like that. :)

I am also a librarian. Willing to help in any way.

The Sacred Blacksmith Vol. 9 Found another that needs a cover. Now that I look back 8 was missing a cover too. :)

Can the Dragonar Academy ( Dragonar Academy Vol. 1 )series by fixed? Goodreads lists only 4 books in the series and there are at least 9.
Thanks :)

*raises librarian paw*

Dragonar Academy is fixed.

I'm a Librarian also.

Thanks Bookkitten!!! :)

I don't know if this is the place to go for help, but I'm searching for the Sakurako-san Investigation novel page on Goodreads. Assume it's under the Japanese language name. The series had an anime run last season.

I am not sure if this is it but I looked up the series on Amazon and used the ISBN found there to look it up here.

That's the one, thanks. I'll remember to search out the ISBN next time.

You're welcome. If not for ISBNs my collections would be harder to organize so I am glad they are of use to you as well. :)

Over 50? Are these professionally released or some kind of fan produced collections?

The reason I ask is the books although searchable by name are often searched for by ISBN (generally the 13 digit one) or the ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) for things like comics sold through Amazon owned Comixology. As such sometimes things are hard to find (due to misspelled tags) and/or might find themselves purged if they don't meet certain criteria.

Have you tried seeing if you can find your titles on Amazon (you might have to check out Amazon Japan since they are manga) first or are all your titles Webtoons which may or may not be acceptable to post on the site?

50 BL mangas or manga chapters?

So checked about it a bit with the Goodreads Librarian's official group and webtoons are not allowed unless they have a print edition. I know it is strange since blog-only short stories, and also fanfiction are allowed. No one is answering why, just stating that is the rules. Apparently if you see webtoons they aren't suppose to be here and whoever added them 'broke the rules.'

Thanks for looking into that Jamie.

I was concerned how something like that would be split up as an entry but that rule forbidding them simplifies such worries. :)
