So, back in 2015, mangaka Himura Kiseki (Twitter) started posting the now infamous Monday morning offerings of Tawawa: one illustration every monday.
Featuring mostly the concerns and lives of multiple big-breasted female characters, this series is noticeable for its blue colored images and its female characters (and their male partners who don't really have actual faces)

The author started releasing Doujinshi Volumes that collected these illustrations into Volumes along with some extra stories.
These are blue colored and has a MangaDex entry: Getsuyoubi no Tawawa (Twitter Webcomic) [1]

It got its first short anime adaptation in 2016

Later, fans picked it up and started releasing Fan Colored version of the Doujin Volumes. This also has a MangaDex entry: Getsuyoubi no Tawawa (Twitter Webcomic) (Fan Colored) [2]

In 2020, there was a collab featuring Kouhai-chan from Tawawa series and Douki-chan from Ganbare Douki-chan series. MangaDex Entry: Douki and Tawawa
Douki-chan fans rejoice: it has its own cursed thread dw

On Nov 2020, Kodansha's Young Magazine started the serialization of the manga with the same manga. MangaDex entry: Getsuyoubi no Tawawa [3]

Acknowledging its "Blue" origins, Young Magazine also releases the manga volumes in a Blue version as well. This used to be in the same entry as [3] using the alt.ver grp to differentiate between the blue ver from conventional b&w version.

Also a second season regular episode anime adaptation in 2021

As of yesterday (2023/01/07), there's a new MangaDex entry for the Blue Serialized Version: Getsuyoubi no Tawawa (Blue) [4]

Things to do

  • [Mostly Complete, need to verify] - Appropriate Tags for each entry
  • [Need to verify] - Check whether each chapter belongs to its correct entry
  • [Unknown] - Relation between each entry. In particular, the ?? above
  • [Complete but unsatisfied] - Descriptions for each entry
  • [Undecided] - Volume Cover Numbering and descriptions
  • [Undecided] - Doujinshi Chapter ordering and splitting. Refer Wikia
Questions

  • Does the doujinshi need an Adaptation tag
  • Should Franchise relation be used between entries?
  • Usage of Colored/Monochrome be used between serialized and serialized blue?
  • Can any of these be considered for Full Color tag?
  • Is there a main entry where everything needs to be linked to? Should there be an entry for the Twitter release which just has external links to every Monday (please, god, no)
  • [maybe more questions by others]

Ideas for Question 4 : Make a linktree, carrd or something similar dedicated to listing the Twitter links for every chapters. Then add it to the mangadex entry.

Will the existing Blue chapters of the serialization be reuploaded to the separate blue ver? If yes, will they also be left on the black version? Today's ch 65 was uploaded in the old fashion with an alt.ver (Blue)...

As for the colored tag, what is the blue version if not the very definition of monochrome?
Edit: To clarify, I don't believe one ought to use "colored" when something is printed on a tinted ink, but still all in one color. The shades of blue don't represent the content's "real colors" any more than black and grey do.
