As we ARE a site about a very important type of Eastern entertainment, we should celebrate a little bit with the holidays over there too! It's the New Year based on the Lunar Calendar (Chinese New Year to most people). I believe it's the year of the rat...
PS: For the record, I AM Cantonese (a type of Chinese)
Issue 11 of Weekly Shonen Jump, which will go on sale February 9th, will come with a special chapter of Death Note, written by Tsugumi Ohba and drawn by Takeshi Obata. The one-shot will take place after the events from the original Death Note manga.
Due to some requests, we have added the Harem genre to the database! This includes the traditional definition of harem and also the reverse-harem. Our current description of it is as follows:
A series involving one male character and many female characters (usually attracted to the male character). A Reverse Harem is when the genders are reversed.
If you have a better description, go ahead and post it for us in the news comments, and we'll consider changing it to yours!
Last but not least, if you know of any series that fits the Harem genre (by our definition), please edit that series to include the new genre. Thank you all for helping us complete the best manga database on the internet!
PS: This also does mean you can now filter or highlight series with the harem genre

It is a sad day as the group Tenshi-Tachi shuts down. Based on their site, they are not able to continue scanlating manga due to "real life issues". Furthermore, there is a plea for other groups to continue their projects.
We wish you well, Tenshi-Tachi.
