Is there any reason why Himitsu Sentai Goranger doesn't have a page?
Manga DB mods are more qualified to answer you than what I am, so I suggest you check with them.

What? Is that it? You cant be serious.

Now I may be misinterpreting what you said but if you’re wondering if that all there is they announced then I’m here to let you know that no this is just the beginning and when more announcements comes out the lists gets updated more, these get a new page every time a new anime season starts and it will keep being updated with whatever manga or anime licensing businesses announce later on

Well I know for sure that itll be updated n stuff, but I dont think I have ever seen manga licences being so barebones at the time it being posted, and when Q4 is right around the corner as well.
