About

Mangainfo is a release database for English manga. It lists every English volume of a series with its release date, its ISBN, its publisher and its edition. Each English volume is matched to the Japanese volume it holds, so you can see how far English is behind Japan.

What it covers

Every series with a page shows its English editions in one table. The paperback, the digital edition, the omnibus and the box set of a volume each get a label. The page answers the questions readers ask most: how many volumes there are, whether the story is finished in Japan, how far it is in English and when the next English volume comes out.

The homepage and the releases page show the English volumes of this week and next week. The license tracker lists series that get their first English edition. The English Manga Report counts the year in figures. For series with an anime, a page says where the anime ends in the manga and which English volume to read on from. You can follow a series in your browser without an account, or get the week by mail every Monday.

Mangainfo covers English editions of Japanese manga. It has no reading online, no downloads and no links to scanlations. There are no ads and no tracking cookies.

Where the data comes from

Every value keeps a record of its source and the day it was fetched. When no source states a value the field stays empty. Nothing is guessed. The data sources page lists every source in full.

• English editions come from ISBNdb and Google Books, and from publisher calendars an editor imports.
• Japanese volumes and their dates come from the National Diet Library of Japan through NDL Search, licensed CC BY. openBD confirms them.
• Series, their status, popularity and the readers' recommendations behind "More like this" come from AniList.
• The chapters of each Japanese volume and the chapters an anime season adapts come from the chapter lists of English Wikipedia, by its contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0. Mangainfo takes only the numbers, never the text. Wikidata links a series to its Wikipedia pages.

Creators are named as the English editions print them. Covers show only where the source allows it. Every other series gets a plain tinted panel with its initial.

How the text is checked

Series descriptions are written for Mangainfo. They are never copied from AniList, Wikipedia or a publisher. A description goes live only after a separate check reads every claim against Wikipedia, the English publisher's page and Anime News Network, and against the text of the publisher's blurb so the wording stays our own. A description that fails the check is rewritten or left out.

An anime range shows only after an editor has read it next to its source and approved it. Readers can suggest a correction on any series or volume. An editor checks each one before it changes anything.

For other sites

Release dates can go on your own site, blog or Discord with the free badges, widgets and RSS feeds. The open dataset holds every English edition with its Japanese volumes in CSV and JSON under CC BY 4.0, with a new version every month.

Developers can use the free JSON API, and AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can read the dates through the MCP server. Neither needs a key.

Who runs it

Mangainfo is run by a sole proprietorship in Denmark. The imprint has the details. Questions, corrections and requests for data go to kontakt@mangaverden.dk.
