Editorial policy
How we check facts, identify examples and correct the guides you read here.
Research and sources
We prefer official publishers, creator or studio statements, public institutions and original datasets. Secondary reporting is used when it adds context. Reviewed guides show their main references and review date. A translation release date is not presented as the start of the original series. Sales, circulation and market figures include their dates and scope: they are not interchangeable measurements.
Recommendations and reviews
We do not claim hands-on testing unless the article identifies what was tested and how. Rankings explain their criteria. Product availability and prices can change; affiliate links do not determine editorial inclusion.
AI-assisted work
Automated tools may assist with outlining, translation, consistency checks or technical formatting. The named editor remains responsible for factual review, source selection, final wording and corrections. Unverified generated claims are not an acceptable source. AI-generated illustrations are identified in their captions. Original scripts and exercises are editorial examples, not reproductions of commercial manga.
Corrections
Readers can report an error through the contact page. Include the URL, the claim you think is wrong and, if available, a source we can compare it against. We check the cited evidence, update material errors and add an updated date when a correction changes the substance of an article.
These standards in practice
The statistics guide distinguishes market value and circulation. The writing exercise labels its original fiction and AI-generated illustration. The editor profile explains who takes responsibility for review. Return to the manga guides to explore other examples.
