It will get denied , just like how it was for multiples times now : https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=60908&show=1650
The problem , is that it never got printed. It's only sold as an e-book.

Kibook is a Spanish publisher.

MAL takes into account only the original release , so in Japanese.
It doesn't matter if it's publisher in foreign countries , if it's not in Japan , it'll not get added.

Ohh I see, I thought that what mattered the most was that it was a pure japanese manga. But I will try anyway even if it won't work.

Nothing changed since the last time it was submitted and denied, so by submitting it again you're adding extra work not only for yourself, but also for the database mods. The manga approval queue is already huge enough.

That's interesting, do you know who's the publisher ?
If it's a professionnal company, mods should be able to approve it.

Kinda, but MAL keep their rules to a strict threshold of professionnalism. Otherwise, the database would be filled with the works of amateurs. After all, everyone can improvise themselves Authors and write something, but only few actually officially become one.

MAL do accepts works that does not have a physical print tho; as long as they are published by a well known professional company. That's why Mangas from the Shounen Jump + are there, or the Manhwas from Naver. Meanwhile, Bibliomania was published in Manga Hack, by Creative Entertainment... so two completely unknown names, doing almost nothing in the industry.
