| @sp0i13rx - it's on there. Perhaps you made a typo while searching? But the reason why it isn't added is because it's OEL (Original English Language [manga]), and thus doesn't meet MAL's criteria: I. Manga Additions Additions to MyAnimeList's Manga DB must fit within the following scope: I.1 Country of Origin Works must be created: in Japan for the Japanese market (Manga) in Korea/China for the Korean/Chinese market (Manhwa/Manhua) See https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=141104 for the full criteria for eligibility. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| The Beginning After the End is an original English-language web comic, which means that it doesn't meet MAL's Database Guidelines. Only comics from Japan, Korea, and China are included in MAL's database. |

| Hi MAL team, Is it possible to create a new category under manga type for "Original English Language" mangas and improve the MAL's criteria accordingly ? I think that there will be more and more creations from countries that are not Japan, Korea or China and it's a pity to not let MAL users to add their favorites mangas in their list. |

There a quite a few popular mangas/webtoons that are OEL and a lot of us here read them. There's quite a bit of content that cannot be added to MAL because they don't originate from three countries. |
| Thirded. Please add webtoons to this site, I'm tired of maintaining two lists on different sites. |
| Fourthed (wtf), Please add this webtoon on this website. ......... |

recycled_content said: if you want it make your own site that has everything in it. otherwise keep seething, the site won't bend backwards for your needs. This, it's not a manga and it's not a manhwa, and they aren't going to add it simply because some whiney people on the forums are fans of it. |

Tsushiko said: But rwby's manga still appear's here. Rwby is produced by rooster teeth which is a English company. The Serie is produced by Rooster Teeth (That's why it's not on MAL) , but it doesn't change the fact that the Manga is done by a professional Japanese Author (Shirow Miwa) & is published in a professional Japanese Magazine. (Ultra Jump) There is probably a deal that was done with Rooster Teeth to create the Manga , but it's still a Japanese Manga and thus should be allowed in the database. The Beginning After The End on the other hand is 100% English & not published , it's just an English webcomic that took the style of a Manhwa. |

Tsushiko said: Thx for the clarification but what about the rwby's anthology tho , I think that it has a lot of various artists behind it, some are japanese, does that affect it somehow? (sry for being annoying). I don't know how anthologies works on this point , but if it's on MAL , there is probably something like : "There is enough Japanese Author involved to be considered as globally Japanese Anthology" ... ? I'm not a Modo , maybe one would be able to provide explanations about it. |

MAL actually had an OEL category at start, but it was later removed. As it should be, considering this is not a database of western comics - even if they simulate a manga artstyle. If those users want to have a list of these, there are other global comics databases that can be used for that. |

| That's a little sad. I know that it doesn't meet the criteria but... |
| Yen Press are also gonna license The beginning after the end, and will publish it in print... Will it come to the DB after that? |
Mahdhi1235 said: Yen Press are also gonna license The beginning after the end, and will publish it in print... Will it come to the DB after that? Nope , MAL doesn't allow OEL at all in the database. If you want to keep track of it , i suggest you to use your "About Me" section , or use another site such as Anime-Planet. |

| As I understand it, MAL originally allowed OEL, but restricted it because the quantity of entries was too high and the quality was too low. The fact Chinese and Korean works are allowed is just an arbitrary exception though, presumably resulting from the personal bias of someone at the top of the site. It's hard to justify not allowing OEL using whatever logic allows Chinese and Korean works. |
