| From what I can tell, Pulse is an OEL/OFL and therefore it will not be added into MAL's database. It was originally published as an English/Foreign language (besides Japanese/Korean/Chinese) webtoon which was then translated into the Korean language. Furthermore, Pulse does not appear to be professionally published in Korea, which further rules out its eligibility in MAL's database. The author of this webtoon is independently selling printed copies; however, it is not affiliated with a reputable publishing company of its respective market (i.e., Korea). Also, don't get confused as Lezhin is not a publishing company. Hope that helps you understand why it might have been denied. |

| It's being released officially in the US by Seven Seas. Anything officially published by a reputable company should be in the database. What's the point of a data base if it doesn't have things that can be legally purchased and read. |

What's the point of a data base if it doesn't have things that can be legally purchased and read. A database is bound to have strict rules to maintain some consistency. MAL has choosen to limit its own to Japanese , Chinese & Korean works. Here , we are talking about a Thai Webcomics , so it's denied by default. You just have to go to a database who specialize in such works , or have less stricter rules. (Like MangaUpdates , or you can simply use your About Me on MAL to list it.) Note that your argument of "Anything officially published by a reputable company should be in the database" would also apply to Marvel Comics. Do we want them on here ? No. |

No. Comics aren't manga, so that's kinda obvious. Alexioos95 said: razisgosu said: It's being released officially in the US by Seven Seas.

No. Well obvious we don't want american comics on here. They're not even remotely related to manga. Far as I can tell this should satisfy the database requirements. This thread is from 2018 and the rules were updated in 2022, maybe someone just needs to try again to submit. I.1 Country of Origin Works must be created: in Japan for the Japanese market (Manga) in Korea for the Korean market (Manhwa) in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan for their respective markets (Manhua) On Web (digitally) via: 1.2.7 Web manga platform owned by a print publisher Manga and one-shots released on a digital manga platform owned by a print publisher. Includes series released in digital magazines. Includes official publisher pages on other digital platforms (e.g. Gene pixiv, Niconico Yuri Hime). Excludes digital platforms primarily containing user-generated content (e.g. Shounen Jump Rookie, Days Neo). I.2.8 Webcomic platform owned by a digital publisher Series released on webcomic/webtoon platforms by digital publishing companies may be allowed if the platform is deemed to meet professional standards after internal review. Whitelist as of July 2022: Cycomics, GANMA!, KakaoPage, Lezhin Comics Webtoon, Naver Webtoon For now, the series must be exclusive to the whitelisted platform when it begins serialization. Please refrain from submitting series that are not translated in English. This will help us process high-priority entries that many members want to add to their lists. Submissions of untranslated webtoons may be denied to improve queue visibility. |

If it was a Japan , Korean or Chinese comics , it would indeed be added , as it was published on Lezhin. You can always try to submit it , but i'm confident it'll get denied anyway. I'd personally just track it with the About Me , or MangaUpdates. |
