releases multiple genre highlighting suggestions

I don't know how difficult these would be, but for the issues of conflicting genre colors for the releases page, here are a few suggestions:
-
have a priorities list for highlighted genres. Say, if I have both Romance and Horror highlighted, I could choose which color I want to be shown over the other (say, romance over horror), so that any manga with both would be highlighted as romance.
-
instead of highlighting the whole line on the releases page, have a little circle or something off to the side of the title that is like a pie chart that shows all the colors in wedges. (I fear this may be really complex.)
-
similar to #2 but probably easier, next to the title, have multiple boxes of colors for the genres. For example, there would be a title that has Romance (red), fantasy (yellow), and shoujo (blue). there would be a red box, then a yellow box, and then a blue box.
-
if the manga were somehow categorized into main genres and sub-genres, that could also solve the problem. There could be a poll for each page where the readers vote on which genre they think is the main genre of the series, which could provide a sort of ranking/relevance order for the genres. Whichever highlighted genre is listed as higher or more relevant would then take precedence over the other highlighted genres attributed.
I think 1 and 4 would be easier, but they also introduce more problems than 2 and 3. I know there are some manga that only a few people have read and would therefore only have a few who could vote, and some where two genres are equally the forefront genre for a series.
Again, I have no idea how difficult or complex these features would be, but they are only suggestions. 😕
Feel free to add more suggestions or list problems/fixes you see regarding my suggestions! I'm all about constructive criticism 😀
