SOURCEBOOK
We use official publisher, distributor and anime references for publication facts. Research imports are candidates, not automatic publication approvals. Each checked edition records its language, market, volume or range, format, source and review date.
Reading advice is labeled as an editorial recommendation. Anime continuation pointers name the completed season, cite checked sources and explain their limits. We publish a specific episode, chapter or ending volume only when that detail has been verified; otherwise the pointer gives a cautious starting volume or named part.
We review corrections against their cited sources and keep image rights separate from factual metadata. A publisher page does not grant cover-image reuse permission.
