    Developing tools for manga research is one of the main objectives of the Let's Manga project, and the tool we're most proud of is our online bibliography. There are nearly four thousand entries in the knowledge base at present. The vast majority of items center on manga, but we also bookmark interesting references to work on other Japanese popular media (such as anime) when we stumble upon them. We bookmark anything that may be useful for manga research, academic articles and books as well as non-academic news articles, blog posts, etc. that are insightful or fascinating enough to warrant a second look by researchers. Academic sources have the default tag 'academic', non-academic sources are tagged 'non-academic'. We bookmark items in any language we can read, meaning that the vast majority of entries are in English, followed by Japanese, plus a smattering of entries of German, French, Dutch, and other European languages.

    We recommend first browsing the tag list for the subject you need, then doing a full-text database search to make sure you find every reference (you can do both on the right-hand side of the 'bookmarks' page).

    Please let us know how useful the knowledge base was to you -we're always on the lookout for ways to improve on what we have. Suggestions for entries are of course very welcome. If you're interested in contributing entries to the database directly, just join the Diigo group and bookmark away.
