I have some suggestions that may make a nice new feature.
One could be a new category, sort of like an extended description that people can submit. I was thinking that the description could involve key words, that further define what is in the manga. The secondary description could be "Whats in it?" or something simmiler.
One example would be:
Dragonball
Description [Edit]
It is divided in 3 parts : Dragon Ball (Son Goku's story), followed by Dragon Ball Z (his son Son Gohan's story) and Dragon Ball GT (his second son Son Goten's story).
Bulma is searching for the legendary 7 dragon balls, which, when reunited, allow the spell caster to realize a wish. On her journey, she encounters a strange little boy with an ape's tail...
Whats in it?
Super-powered characters. [A Lot]
Flying.
Energy (Ki) blasts.
Big Explosions.
Medium amount of blood.
another example could be
Ai-Ren
Description [Edit]
Taken from Solaris-svu:
Ikuru is a boy who doesn't have long to live. Grown up question the purpose of his life and the reason for his death, he's grown up constantly confused and lonely. Now, learning that he hasn't long to live, he requests that a special "girl" called a AGH-RMS be given to him. These people are genetically made so that they help heal and ease the mental burdens of someone who hasn't long to live. This manga is cute, sad and ultimately a story about life , death and humanity.
Whats in it?
Touching story.
Love.
Sadness.
A Lot of Nudity. (M and F)
my final example would be
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Description [Edit]
Series co-creator Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's personal interpretation of the Evangelion characters and story is sure to intrigue new and old fans alike.
The human race nearly ended with the century: in 2000 A. D., a top-secret encounter between an Antarctic expeditionary team and an entity code-named "The Angel" triggers a global catastrophe. Now, in 2015, the Angels have returned, and Shinji Ikari, a fourteen year-old child of the new Earth is summoned to pilot the monstrous biomechanical weapon "Evangelion" to match the fearsome power of the Angels.
Whats in it?
Based off of an anime (of the same name).
Giant mecha (Robots).
Psychologicaly unstable characters.
Big explosions.
Some Nudity (M and F)
Some blood.
What do you think? Is it possible or a good idea? It would really help people find out what they like in a series before downloading it.
Also maybe for the difference between the same catagories could be seperated like:
Explosions (Big) (Small)
Blood (Small amount) (Medium amount) (A Lot) (Gore)
Swords (western based) (eastern based) (Super-powered)
Magic (Frequent) (Infrequent) (Healing) (Destructive)

perhaps let everyone make their own "tags" for a series, and then match them up some how and show the most numerous?

here's a suggestion that would vastly improve the site in my opinion. A lot of the series have more than one genre so it would help if you could search for series that come under more than one genre.
EG.
You can search for Shounen, romance and ecchi
and it could come up with series like sakura diaries, love hina, toshiue no hito etc

Hey Manick, don't you think too many people have asked this question? How about adding that search thing you already have for genres onto the genre page?
