Yeah what they mean by "English release only" is that it wasn't published in Japan. It is an OEL title and thus isn't included in the database. Doesn't matter what other places it go published in.

Call me a dumb-dumb, but shouldn't the series still be included? I mean the manga guidelines don't mention anything about EOL releases far as I know. Either that or I'm missing something...

In the case of In These Words that was never published in Japan (at least to my knowledge), it never met database guidelines.

Basically, if you read the guidelines carefully only Japanese, Koren, and Chinese manga are allowed in the DB.

i get what you're saying. the ironic thing though, is that the series was actually picked up by Japanese publishers and is, to this day, being published as a manga in Japan (specifically, by Libre, with individual chapters published in Be-Boy Gold)

Basically this.
Te manga is serialized in a Japanese magazine from an actual Japanese editor.

The facts that the mangaka are American citizens and that the manga started as an English dōjinshi are that relevant to ignore it?

That's too bad. I'm rather late to this but I was hoping to add it to my list.
