Two suggestions
-
Many times an author will be known by more than one name, i.e. doujinshi penname, or different romanization of their name. Could a field "Associated Names" be added to Mangaka like there is for series and publishers?

Sometimes I know a magazine name but not who published it. Could there be added a link back to the publisher on each magazine's page? Alternatively, some sort of search function for magazines? Like if you forget the name of a certain magazine, and you are thinking "I remember the magazine name begins with 'Weekly', but ....?"

there is such link already under the magazine name, look for "by", if it's absent, it probably means that someone added the magazine under the wrong publisher on one (or more) of the listed titles, exception being the magazines that were initially published by Biblos as they are now published by Libre.
edit: oh, there is also case where there is no title currently under the magazine you want to input so it won't be associated with any name.
Alternatively, some sort of search function for magazines?
That would be nice, but currently and correct me if i'm wrong, the way magazines are entered into database makes them unsearchable and the magazine pages are created on the fly, not sure why it is the way it is. It would be nice to remake the magazine pages altogether and make them similar to publishers, with alternative names, comments, demographic, year of circulation, etc., but i imagine it being quite a bit of work.
