Mangas with no chapters

[Mallinka]

Why is there so many manga that have no chapters?
It's really irritating to see a name on a list, reading the description, getting interested to read it, only to find out that there are NO CHAPTERS. Why even have them to be searched for if they can't be read? I found I think over 10 mangas on a list that had no chapters to read. And that is 10 in a row.

I could understand if this was just a site that only had information about different series but no way to read them (like mangaupdates.org), but this is not that kind of site, right?
So why???

You’re honestly not wrong at all. Nothing kills the vibe faster than finding a manga with a sick title and an interesting summary, getting excited… and then opening it to see no chapters whatsoever. Like cool, thanks for the emotional setup with zero payoff 😭 I get that these sites double as databases, but at least throw a warning label on it before I get invested.

Honestly the best way to fix this would be better filtering and clearer labels. Like, let people toggle “has readable chapters” or “has English releases” so we don’t get our hopes up for nothing. Even a small tag like metadata only or no chapters available would save a lot of frustration.

I get that the site works as both a reader and a database, but right now it feels like emotional clickbait — cool title, interesting summary, then surprise: absolutely nothing to read. A little transparency would go a long way (and spare our sanity).

It could be many reasons:

• It has translations in a language you have filtered out (or a group/translator you blocked)
• The entry could be made to stir interest if any translators see it
• The manga has been DMCA
• The translator has pulled their chapters from said manga

But like @undeed said, you are able to make it so only manga translated in your language shows up if you do so in the advanced search.

This doesn't show up in the great "random manga" button...

Only thing that doesn't work is it if has DMCA chapters like this.
