Bulk-deleting or marking as read

Once you’ve selected multiple volumes, you can mark them all as completed or remove them from your collection in one action.

How to bulk-mark as read

  1. Long-press a manga to enter selection mode, then tap others to add to the selection.
  2. In the bulk actions bar, tap the Read icon (a checkmark or book icon).
  3. All selected volumes are marked as Completed with their finishedReadingAt set to the current time.

You’ll see a confirmation toast and selection mode exits.

This is great when you finish a long series in one sitting and don’t want to mark each volume individually.

How to bulk-delete

  1. Enter selection mode and select the volumes you want to remove.
  2. Tap the Delete icon in the bulk actions bar.
  3. A confirmation modal appears showing how many volumes you’re about to delete.
  4. Tap Delete to confirm, or Cancel to back out.

What gets deleted

When you delete a volume:

  • It’s removed from your collection (cloud + local).
  • Any reading progress, condition, custom value, and shelf assignments are lost.
  • It’s removed from any active lending records.
  • The deletion syncs across all your signed-in devices.

Deletion is permanent — there’s no undo. If you accidentally delete and you have an export of your data, you can re-import. Otherwise, you’d need to re-add by scanning.

What if I want to remove a volume from one shelf without deleting?

Deletion removes the volume from your collection entirely. To remove from just a shelf, open the manga detail page and tap the shelf badge to uncheck the shelf. The volume stays in your Library.

Bulk-mark as unread or reading?

The bulk actions bar only supports marking as Completed for now. To mark a batch as Unread or Reading, you’ll need to do it volume by volume from each manga detail page. We may add this in a future update.

Bulk actions and reading achievements

Marking volumes as Completed via bulk-mark does count toward reading achievements. Each marked volume increments your completed_count and contributes to series-completion achievements.

Tips

  • Filter before bulk-marking. If you’ve finished a whole series, filter to that series first, select all, then mark as read.
  • Be careful with bulk-delete. It’s irreversible. The confirmation modal asks for confirmation specifically because of how easy it is to mis-tap.
  • Bulk-delete is great for cleaning up Quick Scan mistakes. If you accidentally Quick-Scanned a stack and several were duplicates or wrong, bulk-delete is your fix.
