[edit] Publisher field

I copied the licensed titles from List of manga to create this article, as it's easier to maintain than a list of all manga. I think it would be useful to add a 'publisher' or 'licensor' field to the table, to indicate the English publisher/licensor. Any objections? Ninja neko 13:56, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

None from me. I recommend Licensor, since Publisher sounds like the Japanese publisher. Actually, thinking about it, actually, I don't think that's a very useful field. That information should be contained in the articles themselves. The rest of the information IS stuff J. Random Browser might use to look up a series, but the English publisher is not. —Quasirandom 00:58, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Another task, best handled by someone commanding the power of regular expressions, is to de-bold all the titles. —Quasirandom 19:11, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Easy enough. Copypaste to Microsoft word and replace all ''''' with ''.--SeizureDog 01:22, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

But -- ! but -- ! that would too easy! —Quasirandom 04:19, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possible source

The recently published Manga: The Complete Guide by Jason Thompson attempts to give potted ratings of ever manga licensed in English as of the time it went to press, mid-2007. Using it to fill out this list does look like a possibility. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:25, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
