These sites do not host or distribute unauthorised copies of primary literary works (e.g., full manga chapters, novel volumes, PDFs, or scanlations).
We utilise cloud storage and a global Content Delivery Network (CDN) to serve promotional assets (specifically cover art and banners). These images are stored on our infrastructure to ensure service stability and to prevent bandwidth abuse on external publisher servers. These assets are:
- Sourced Officially: Retrieved from public publisher listings or provided directly to us by rights holders for promotional purposes.
- Stored for Performance: Cached and served via our own infrastructure to ensure high availability without imposing load on the original sources.
- Used for Citation: Displayed solely for the purpose of identification, cataloguing, and detailed bibliographic reference.
All metadata published is curated and reviewed by our internal team and includes:
- Media type classification (manga, manhwa, novel, etc.)
- Licensing status in English and other languages
- Publisher information by region and language
- Official and unofficial title names
- Descriptions and tags generated by our team
- Links to third-party databases (e.g., MyAnimeList, MangaUpdates, AniList)
- Links to official retailers and publisher websites
- Cover images and banners sourced officially to aid in edition identification
- Related titles and news references
This information is compiled to aid in discovery, research, and cataloguing. We do not enable or promote piracy, nor do we mirror or distribute licensed content.
