Manga Library

Your manga library is the personal collection of every series you track — the central hub of any manga tracker. Where a casual reader might keep a few bookmarks, an active reader's library can hold hundreds of titles, each with its own progress and status. The library is what turns scattered reading into an organized, searchable whole.

How a Library Is Organized

A manga library sorts your titles by reading status, the universal system every tracker uses:

• Currently Reading — series you're actively following
• Plan to Read — your backlog and wishlist
• Completed — series you've finished
• On Hold — paused, but not abandoned
• Dropped — series you've stopped reading

Library vs. Reading List

People often use the terms interchangeably, but a manga reading list is typically just the planned portion — a queue of what to read next. The library is the complete picture, including everything you've already finished or set aside.

Building Your Library

You can build a library one title at a time, or use library import to bring over an existing collection from another platform. Once it's populated, features like reading stats draw on the whole library to show how much you've read, your favorite genres, and your pace over time. In MangaTime, your library syncs across devices, so the same organized collection is available wherever you read.
