Trouble finding a specific series?

Double-check your spelling and try again, as some sources might use Japanese romanized titles instead of English ones.
Example: Boku no Hero Academia instead of My Hero Academia.
Some sources may use different spellings or wordings for titles.
Example: Bungo Stray Dogs instead of Bungou Stray Dogs
Example: 3-gatsu no Lion instead of Sangatsu no Lion.
