Trouble finding a specific series?

If you encounter difficulties while searching for a specific series, consider the following points:

• Double-check your spelling and try again, as some sources might use Japanese romanized titles instead of English ones.

  Example: Boku no Hero Academia instead of My Hero Academia.

• Some sources may use different spellings or wordings for titles.

  Example: Bungo Stray Dogs instead of Bungou Stray Dogs

  Example: 3-gatsu no Lion instead of Sangatsu no Lion.
