More linking on series pages

[happypurple]

add linking/relations to sites like MAL/ect for anime/LN adaptations/ect
(also allow linking for merch like nendroids or LINE stickers)
Melonbooks & Toranoana linking as retail sites (no icons rn)
a field or tab for Publisher + serialization information like on MU (e.g. kodansha published this in XYZ weekly for 1-69 chapters) (English licensing info as well)
More info about status in country of origin (E.g. published weekly/monthly/yearly/ect has 5 volumes and 51 chapters)

are reviews still a planned feature, btw?

Link rework is planned to allow essentially any link and amount of links.

are reviews still a planned feature, btw?

not sure what that refers to exactly, but if you mean user reviews then not that I'm aware of (but why not eventually, though)

 

[happypurple]

sounds great!

reviews as in writing some sort of critical appraisal to accompany manga ratings

Right then yeah I don’t remember the topic ever coming up seriously internally, but it sounds like potentially a good idea to at least discuss further 👍

We did talk about adding sections for manga reviews, reactions and other social interaction stuff like that back during the v3 times, just never got around to actually finalizing proposals, let alone implementing them as features.

Google Play, iTunes, Target, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart all sell manga.

Any changes to external links are waiting on the link rework so we can add language tags/content types to links and filter appropriately, it'll get way too cluttered otherwise.

So, "planed feature"?

Are you going to change the system to allow arbitrary links or add more defined types of links (such as bookwalker/ebookjapan fields)?

More defined options.

Pretty much yes. Maybe not infinitely so (to avoid people putting random stuff in there), but greatly expanding the options at least

Adding retail links for the other most common manga languages. Examples: Ridibooks and Aladin for Korean manhwa.

This suggestion is specifically for Amazon. Have the ability to post multiple Amazon links. Example: amazon.com should be treated separately from amazon.co.jp and therefore both links should show.

Besides updating retail links for other languages, Japanese retail sites can be updated as well, CMOA.jp is a good place where you can find a number of Japanese titles, even those really obscure ones.

The title explains it. https://www.cmoa.jp/ has some manga that are not found on ebook, book walker or kindle so adding this option to the retail site list would be beneficial. Also, cmoa is the only of the mentioned that doesn't require a Japanese address or phone number to buy manga on it. And signing up for cmoa is as easy as having google account.
