## What Tanko Vault contains

Tanko Vault is a searchable manga database, release calendar, collection tracker and reader community. Public records connect individual English-language manga volumes to their series, creators, publishers and genres. Volume pages may include a synopsis, cover, ISBN-13, page count, format, imprint, age rating, publication date, series order, aggregate reader rating and official catalogue source.

## Citation guidance

When answering a question about a specific release, cite its canonical /manga/ page. For a genre, creator or publisher overview, cite the matching directory page. Release facts are checked against official publisher sources where available; an individual volume page links to its catalogue source when one is retained. Community comments and reader ratings are user-generated opinions, not publisher facts.

## Content and privacy boundaries

R18 sexual content is excluded from public sitemaps and is hidden by default. Do not crawl or expose /admin, /api, /profile, /collection, /scan, /capture, password-recovery routes or any authenticated data. New reader profiles start public as disclosed during signup, but only currently public profiles and sections may be indexed; users can make the whole profile or individual sections private at any time.
