What would be the justification for it ?

Manhuas and Manhwas are allowed because they are asian.
If you add ManFra , you'll also have to add every Western cartoon , which is something MAL absolutely does not want to.

And the Anime adaptation of Radiant is on MAL because it's a 100% Japanese production.
It simply adapts a foreigner source (which is nothing new as you can see with Romeo x Juliet or Ninja Batman).

They are allowed because they are Chinese and Korean, not because they are Asian. They could similarly add works from France without allowing other western countries. The rules are arbitrary and up to the whims of the website's owners.

If any western animated or comic region should be included, its the French. They hit quite different compared to America. In some examples they Japanese harder than the Chinese and Korean.

To this day I don't understand that either. Manfras are french comics in the same or very similar format to mangas. It's a very specific style and any regular manga reader can see that it doesn't follow the Western style. So it would be perfectly possible to allow the addition of French works in this format and not allow the addition of production from other Western countries.

Including, I've been reading Radiant for a long time and I always see other users who also read it raise this issue. It's really terrible not to be able to add information to track your own reading progress, or discuss the chapters in progress.

I sincerely hope that one day this can change.
