For example: http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=4970 http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=5706 http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=4971 this is novels, but from info what we have can you tell that this is not manga? ________________ I never ever learn English...

But it seems that wasn't exactly what you had in mind when thinking of this! Anyway I fully agree, a Novel genre might be needed but the Artbook, not so sure about it... Aren't Artbook always related to a series, like an Omake or something?

Anyway, it's nice to see a fellow Lithuanian around here, so welcome and enjoy your stay. ________________ Don't waste your time or time will waste you.

I think the genre section is getting used a bit too much for non-genre specific categories. Perhaps i should add a categorization field to series, such that they can get the categorization of "Manga, manwha, doujinshi, novel, artbook"...
