Marking a volume “Owned” or moving to your Wishlist

Every volume in your Library has a status: either Owned or Wishlist. The two have different roles and different rules.

What “Owned” means

Owned volumes are physical (or digital) volumes you have. They:

• Count toward your collection total.
• Count toward the FREE tier 50-volume cap.
• Show up in collection value calculations (PRO).
• Trigger achievements like “First Volume Owned”, “100 Volumes Owned”, etc.
• Appear in the Owned filter and on the Home tab’s Recently Added section.
• Can be marked as Reading or Completed (reading progress).

What “Wishlist” means

Wishlist volumes are things you want but don’t yet have. They:

• Don’t count toward the 50-volume FREE cap.
• Don’t show up in collection value.
• Don’t unlock collection achievements.
• Show up in the Wishlist filter and on the Home tab’s Wishlist section.
• Can’t have reading progress (you don’t own them yet).

Wishlist is unlimited for everyone — FREE and PRO alike.

How to switch between Owned and Wishlist

On the manga detail page, you’ll see two status toggles:

• Tap Owned to mark the volume as owned.
• Tap Wishlist to mark it as wishlisted.

Switching is instant. Status syncs across all your devices.

Adding directly as Wishlist

When you scan a volume or find it via Browse, the result modal lets you choose Add to Collection (Owned) or Add to Wishlist before adding. Pick whichever fits.

Moving from Wishlist to Owned

This is the most common transition — when you finally buy a volume from your wishlist:

1. Find the volume in your Library (filter by Wishlist).
2. Tap to open its detail page.
3. Tap Owned — done.

Or, if you scan the same ISBN, the duplicate detection kicks in and gives you the option to mark as Owned.

Moving from Owned to Wishlist

Less common, but useful if you sold or gave away a volume but want to keep tracking it as something to maybe re-acquire:

1. Tap the volume in your Library.
2. Tap Wishlist — done.

This frees up a slot under the FREE 50-volume cap.

Wishlist size

There’s no cap on wishlist items, even on FREE. Some collectors maintain wishlists of hundreds of volumes (often series they want to start, or upcoming releases they’re anticipating).

What about deleted volumes?

If you delete a volume entirely (not move to Wishlist), it’s removed from your collection completely. To get it back, you’d need to re-add by scanning or manual entry. See Bulk-deleting.

Wishlist on friend’s profiles

When friends view your profile, they can see your wishlist (subject to your privacy settings). This is a great way to coordinate gift-giving — birthday or holiday wishlists are a big use case.
