Frequently Asked Questions about Upcoming Updates

Manga only

The calendar is built from predicted release dates, which novel sources do not publish, so light novels never appear on it.

What is this Calendar?

The Upcoming Updates page does not consult with external trackers, publishers, or otherwise claim that a chapter update will be released on a particular day.

What it does do is allow users of Reikai to visually plot their upcoming smart updates, as well as get a feel for when new chapters are expected to be released.

What are Smart Updates?

In order to reduce strain on sources and save user bandwidth, Reikai tries to estimate when chapter updates will be available, and only once that time has passed, include that series in automatic updates.

Why are my chapter updates on the wrong day?

Smart updates determine time of chapter updates based on the time between currently released chapters. Sources that provide incorrect update dates, periods of hiatus, or update in batches may result in the estimate seeming off. As more chapters are released, the schedule should become more accurate.
