Lately everyone would have noticed that it starts to get difficult to find which manga is English printed.
So with this I want to put up a little suggestion.
Would it be possible to get a new option at the series page, called "Availability in English"
The following things are possible:

  • as print (the printed versions)
  • simulpub (crunchyroll, DeNa, etc.)
  • digital (digital volumes like DMG likes a lot)
  • unavailable ( out of print in English)
  • not out yet (to be released in future)

Combinations are possible.

A lot of people would be thankful for this, certainly if you're searching something to buy.
Put those options also in the search options, so that we can search for stuff that still is available.

You can already do/see almost all of these things in the Licensed in English/Published in English fields.

But it won't work with the search engine, that is the issue.

The only thing I can say is ... there is an "Out of Print in English" tag.

So in the advance search by genres page you can put

  • Out of Print in English (Where the tags go. Make sure to add the - in front to exclude it from your search)
    select show only licensed manga.

Which will give you a list of manga that are licensed excluding the out of print in English ones

  • Seeing as that tag is only used a bit over 100 times, and there's over 3,000 manga that show up as licensed ... So that tag is probably either new, or underused. (Which you can make a post in the Tag(s) awareness thread so others know such a tag exist, and to add it where needed)

Yeah it's not everything you want, but at least it a little bit of what you suggested that you can do now. (For the time being)
