Oh! I forgot to ask yesterday. I love reading manga, and I use the app Viz to do so. Could I, if I could find an accurate page count, use that for one of my books? I've finished like 5 series last year and this year. lol. I love them, and there's a ton of volumes... That's my only problem. So yeah, just thought I'd ask! ^^

@AsymDoll13~

from page 1:

Quote

Manga is only accepted if it's 500 pages or more. 

 

if you'll notice my book number count has an asterisk next to it, it's because i've lumped all 13 Sandman individual volumes that i read (as 13 separate books) into one huge entry (Number Of Pages: 2749 (approx.) // Book Title: Sandman, the Complete Works)

so, yeah.

If you can put a few volumes together to reach 500 pages (they are usually about 200 pages), it works (exemple: Naruto vol. 1 to 3 would count as one book)

Like Trystan did with the Sandman and I did with The Boys  (putting it as one or multiple books is your choice as long as each entry is 500 pages)

Book Title: Just After Sunset

Author: Stephen King

Summary: A short story collection, so I will summarize my favorite, "N." The story of a man who develops OCD-like symptoms following a strange experience, as told through letters and the notes of his psychiatrist, obtained after the psychiatrist's suicide.

Review: I always love a short story collection, and this was worth reading for "N." alone, but the other stories hold up, too.
