Never buy the same volume twice.

The manga collection app built for physical collectors. Scan at the register. Know your editions. See what's missing from every series you own.

Manga Vault on iOS — My Collection screen showing Continue Reading, Recently Added, and Releases sections with cover art for Demon Slayer, Spy x Family, Berserk, and My Hero Academia.

For the shelf you're building. The editions you're hunting. The duplicates you're done buying.

A working scanner. An edition-aware catalog. Available now on iOS and Android.
The switch

The spreadsheet lets you buy it twice.

The most-recommended manga tracker on Reddit is still a Google Sheet. It works at home. It's useless standing in the bookstore aisle.

Scan before you buy. An instant alert if you already own it.

Three things that matter

Built around how collectors actually shop.

A scanner that actually works

Point it at any barcode — TOKYOPOP, Viz, Yen Press, Kodansha, Seven Seas, Dark Horse. It reads it. Every time. That's the whole deal — and where every other app falls apart. Backed by a 22,000+ volume catalog covering every major English-language publisher.

Edition-aware, not just title-aware

Berserk Deluxe Vol. 3 and Berserk Vol. 7 aren't the same thing. Standard singles, omnibus editions, box sets, special editions — all tracked as distinct items with the correct volume counts per series.

See exactly what you're missing

Every series rendered as a grid of owned and missing volumes, with completion percentage. Your next-buy list writes itself. No more texting yourself from the manga aisle.

We tried them all

Every manga app has one fatal flaw.

We read every one-star review and every Reddit thread. The same gaps came up again and again — and nobody had fixed them.

MyAnimeList · AniList · Kenmei

Built for digital chapter progress. No concept of physical ownership, editions, or box sets.

CLZ Comics

Manga database stopped being maintained in late 2025. Paid subscription. Users are cancelling.

Yama

The features sound right — but the scanner locks the app, and reviewers "couldn't even find Naruto."

Libib

Generic library cataloging. You wait up to 48 hours for staff to fix wrong series data.

The plot twist

The most-recommended option on r/MangaCollectors is still a spreadsheet. That should tell you everything.

How it works

Designed for the moment you're in the store.

01

Scan before you buy.

At Barnes & Noble, Kinokuniya, Half Price Books, or a convention. Backed by a 22,000+ volume catalog covering every major publisher.

02

See exactly what you're holding.

Series, volume number, edition — standard single, omnibus, box set, special edition, all tracked distinctly. An instant alert if you already own it.

03

Then plan exactly what you're hunting.

Open the app at home. Your completion grid tells you which volumes are missing across every series. Make your next-buy list before you head out — not after you're already standing in the aisle.
