Baka-Updates Manga VS NovelUpdates

Great info! To add on, MangaUpdates has a ton of info about series including which jp publisher and magazine they are from (magazines are helpful to know because they often have a similar art style or tone of story, so knowing you like multiple series from, say, Hana to Yume, is a good clue you may enjoy other series from that magazine).

We have mangaupdates.com to find the mangas of a certain author, but I am trying to find smaller works of authors I enjoy (such as a one-shot on Shounen Jump, for instance) and I find that our western databases are quite lacking. Do you guys know of a more comprehensive source of information (possibly a japanese website)? Source: about 1 year ago

If it's a manga adaptation, you can look it up on mangaupdates.com and look at the Anime Start/End Chapter section. It will tell you the last chapter adapted by the anime (among other things). You can then check to see if that is the last chapter of the manga. Source: over 1 year ago

You can go to mangaupdates.com and there they have a list of names, but more importantly known scanlations. If you click Search for all releases for this series it'll show what the fan name actually being used is. The link to official translations and English, will show you what the official English name is, but they also update the title on the page to show the official English name. Source: over 1 year ago

I got bored of "slow" updates on some isekai manga so I ended up finding novelupdates.com to read the light novel versions of them. Later on I ended up finding wuxia.

Also the stories are quite unique in that there's almost no end to the adventure so you'll always have some expectations on what's to come. Source: 4 months ago

P.S. I've just found out that there are many novels from different paid apps that are actually originally chinese. I don't know what's the deal about it. They only change the names of the characters and also the places. But sometimes, it doesn't just make sense. I usually read from novelupdates.com so I was surprised by it. Source: 8 months ago

Personally, I've only gotten around to angel next door. If you are looking for a place to find more based on tags I would recommend novelupdates.com. Source: 11 months ago

Novel translation community tends to dislike aggregator sites, so most novel groups host them themselves and link it in novelupdates.com . If you really don't want to spend money, google docs kind of works. Carrd is a little more time consuming but is pretty easy and free (with limitations). Source: 11 months ago
