These addresses always give the newest month. A fixed month lives under its own address, such as https://mangainfo.com/data/2026-10/series.csv. The last twelve months stay online. The files are UTF-8. CSV files use commas and a header row.

Join the tables on the series slug. An English edition names the Japanese volumes it holds in its japanese_volumes column: 1, or 4;5;6 for an omnibus. Dates are as exact as the sources: 2026-11-03 is a day, 2026-11 a month and 2026 a year. The precision column says which. Mangainfo never guesses a day.

Data: Mangainfo (https://mangainfo.com/data)

English edition data comes largely from ISBNdb, used with permission. Japanese volume data comes from the NDL Search API of the National Diet Library (CC BY, Public Data License 1.0), edited and matched by Mangainfo. AniList ids are bare identifiers for joins. Every source is on the data sources page.

Left out: cover images, prices, descriptions, MyAnimeList ids, AniList titles, popularity, tags, genres and recommendations, and values that only openBD or Google Books states. Adult series are left out too. So are editions that repeat another edition of the same volume.
