"You might also like" recommendation tab

Currently, it feels like the scoring system & tags do not do a good job of helping you find series you might like, partially because tags are used so liberally. for example One Piece has 12 tags, Berserk has 15 tags, Fullmetal Alchemist has 19(!) tags. I'd love to see a recommendation tab for each manga, that suggests series that people who have liked this series also have liked.

(Algo should probably be weighted with some Bayesian inference towards more niche titles - having the algo for a dark fantasy series recommend Fullmetal Alchemist because it is the most popular fantasy series is not very helpful, instead it should recommend some fantasy series that might not have huge amount of fans, but many who like the original series also like the other one too)

Yeah, this would be really nice, and obviously it's come up before. I believe we've done a bit of testing on recommendation algorithms in the past (must've been during the v3 days) but I don't remember if there was anything we could've realistically implemented. Probably not.

Even if we had a working solution, it'd have to take an amount of computation power that I have no idea if we can or can't afford.
