Related manga

A row of similar titles on the manga details page, so finishing something leads somewhere.

Suggestions come from the source you are reading, from public tracker recommendations, and, once you are signed in to a tracker, from what you have already read. The row is then reordered toward your taste, and can hide things you have already seen.

Base feature ported from Komikku; the taste profile, the extra suggestion streams and the reordering are Reikai's.

Manga only

Light novels have no equivalent yet.

Where it appears

By default the row sits on the details page, below the description. While it loads, a placeholder holds its place so the page does not jump; if nothing comes back, the row hides itself rather than sitting empty.

Prefer it out of the way? Related manga placement On the details page in More→Settings→Library→Recommendations, under Sources, moves it into the three-dot menu instead.

Results are kept for about half an hour. Switching source with the chip row fetches again for the new source.

Where the suggestions come from

Sources

The source itself. Sources that publish a "related" list contribute it directly. Ones that do not simply add nothing.

A search on the title. The title is broken into keywords and each is searched on the current source, so the row fills in as results arrive.

Public tracker recommendations, from AniList, MyAnimeList, MangaUpdates and Shikimori. No sign-in needed, and no account of yours is read.

Two more streams need you signed in to AniList, MyAnimeList, MangaUpdates or Shikimori, and only fire on a manga that is itself tracked there. Both live in More→Settings→Library→Recommendations, under Suggestions from your tracking, a section that only appears once you are signed in to one of those four.

• Because you're reading… On takes titles you rated highly, keeps the ones your tracker also links to the manga you have open, and pulls in what those are compared to. Narrow, and usually the best of the bunch.
• Matching your taste On searches the current source for the genres you read most. It needs a source that supports genre search; on a title-only source it adds nothing.

Turn off Tracker recommendations On in Sources and every tracker-backed stream stops, leaving the source's own suggestions. Each of the four trackers also has its own switch under it.

Your taste profile

The two streams above, and the reordering below, read a taste profile: the genres you read, weighted by how you rated and what you did with each series. Completed and Reading count for a genre, Dropped counts against it, and Plan to read counts for nothing either way.

Building it needs your tracker library, which is private, so nothing is pulled until you opt in per tracker.

How to build a taste profile

1. Go to More→Settings→Library→Recommendations and find Taste profile.
2. Turn on the trackers you want pulled. AniList, MyAnimeList, Kitsu, Shikimori and Bangumi are offered, and each appears only once you are signed in to it.
3. Tap Refresh now.

Your library is then cached locally, so the row does not call out to every tracker each time you open a page. It updates in place when you add or change a track entry in the app, and Auto-refresh library Off can also re-pull it weekly or monthly. Refresh now shows when each tracker was last pulled, and has a short cooldown between presses.

The cache is included in your backups.

Reordering the row

With Rerank by taste On the source's suggestions are reordered toward your taste. Tracker recommendations keep the order they arrived in, since they are already personal.

Two sliders shape it, and both are disabled while reranking is off.

• Recommendation style 25% weighs your taste against plain popularity. At 0% the row is ordered as the sources returned it; at 100% it is ordered almost entirely by taste.
• Serendipity 20% decides how much weight unfamiliar genres get, and reserves a share of the row that keeps popularity order no matter what. That reservation is what stops a high style setting from showing you the same five genres forever.

No more than two of the taste-ranked picks may share a dominant genre; the rest are pushed to the end, so one genre cannot take over the row.

With no taste profile built, the reordering is skipped and the row arrives as the sources returned it.

Hiding things you have seen

Every filter is off by default, so nothing is hidden until you say so. They apply whether or not reranking is on.

All five live in More→Settings→Library→Recommendations, under Filters.

• Hide manga already in my library, matched by title across sources and trackers.
• Hide reading & completed, by tracker status.
• Hide dropped.
• Hide on-hold.
• Hide plan-to-read.

Opening a suggestion

A suggestion from a source opens its details page on that source, ready to read.

A suggestion from a tracker opens global search with the title filled in, so you can pick a source you actually have installed. Tracker links do not belong to any extension, so opening one directly would leave you with a library entry nothing can fetch.

Seeing all of them

The row shows a slice. Several sources plus tracker fan-out routinely produce far more, and when there is more than the row can hold, See all (N) appears beside the Related heading.

That opens a full grid with the same ordering and filters and no cap, on as many columns as the screen fits.

Two icons sit in its toolbar, each only when it has something to do:

• Group by source splits the grid into labelled sections, so you can see what came from where: From <source>, From your <tracker> recommendations, Because you're reading <title>, Matching your taste: <genre>. It appears once the suggestions come from more than one place.
• Show hidden brings back whatever your filters removed, without changing the filters. It appears only when something is actually hidden.

How to add several at once

1. Long-press a cover to start selecting, or tap Select in the toolbar.
2. Tap the others you want, or Select all.
3. Tap Add to library.

Everything selected goes into one set of categories, following your Default category setting. Tracker suggestions are skipped, since they map to no installed source, and the toast tells you how many: Added 5 to library, skipped 2.

Bulk add does not check for duplicates

Adding one at a time asks whether a match already in your library should be migrated or grouped. Adding in bulk does not, because the point of the grid is speed.
