MV Manga Vault Help

Adding a friend’s manga to your wishlist

When browsing a friend’s collection (specifically the Unique tab on their profile), you can add their volumes to your own wishlist with a single tap.

How to do it

  1. Open a friend’s profile (Social tab → Friends → tap a friend).
  2. Tap the Unique tab.
  3. Scroll to the “Only in their collection” section.
  4. Tap any volume that interests you.
  5. A bottom sheet appears with the volume’s details (cover, title, author, publisher, ISBN, MSRP, page count, release date).
  6. Tap Add to Wishlist.

The volume is added to your wishlist immediately. The bottom sheet closes.

Adding to your collection (not just wishlist)

The bottom sheet only offers Add to Wishlist for friend’s-collection volumes. To add it as Owned (because you also have it), you’d typically scan it yourself instead — that captures your specific copy’s condition and metadata.

If you genuinely want to mark it as Owned without a scan:

  1. Add to wishlist first (using the steps above).
  2. Open it from your Library (filter to Wishlist).
  3. Tap Owned on the manga detail page.

What if I already own it?

If you already own the volume, the bottom sheet shows a notice (“You already own this volume”) instead of an Add button. No action is needed — you have it already.

What if it’s already on my wishlist?

Same — the sheet notes that and skips the Add button.

Privacy considerations

Adding from a friend’s Unique tab is subject to their privacy settings. If their Allow Comparison is off, you can’t see their Unique tab in the first place, so this flow doesn’t apply.

Why use this flow?

The biggest reason: it’s frictionless. If you spot a series in a friend’s collection that piques your interest, one tap adds it to your watchlist for later. No need to remember the title, search later, etc.

What it doesn’t do

  • It doesn’t notify the friend that you wishlisted from their collection.
  • It doesn’t share the wishlist back to them.
  • It doesn’t suggest the volume to anyone else.

It’s purely a personal action.

Tip: Use this for gift coordination

If you’re a gift-giver and your friend has a wishlist visible to you, the comparison view is a great way to see what they want vs already have.
