Record creative, translation and production credits from title and copyright pages, preserving names and edition scope beyond a bookshelf author field.
English translation of the [Chinese original](), translated on 2026-11-04. Original publication dates, attribution, code and version notes are retained.
A bookshelf author field may not describe the full creative and production team. Before discussing panels, dialogue or translation, inspect the work’s credits to avoid misattribution. Use an authorised file with complete credits in ManYue to make a short role record. Do not infer unpublished divisions of labour or treat a website uploader as the creator.
## Locate the credits included in this edition
Look around title pages, contents and end matter, recording page and chapter identity. A cover may name only two principal contributors, and one bookshelf name should not end the search. Confirm edition, language and publication information, excluding credits for another work advertised in an appendix. Mark missing pages as incomplete rather than using someone else’s screenshot as though the file contained them. Start with one volume so changing staff are not merged into an undated list.
## Transcribe the stated role labels
Transcribe roles actually stated—original story, art, script, layouts or others—with names, adding interpretation separately. Labels can mean different divisions of labour across works; “original story” does not automatically identify the writer of every line. Retain joint credits and parenthetical qualifications, without merging similar names. Preserve unfamiliar foreign-language labels as unresolved. Short fields and references suffice; there is no need to reproduce a copyright page or infer unlisted work from a signature style.
## Separate creation from edition production
Separate creative credits from translation, lettering, proofreading, design or other production roles actually listed for this language edition. Leave absent roles blank rather than inventing people to complete a template. A publisher or rights holder is not necessarily an illustrator. Attach digital-edition qualifications rather than extending them to print or another territory. This lets a discussion of wording or balloon lettering identify the relevant layer before citing public credits.
## Check names, pseudonyms and transliterations
Compare repeated credits in the volume before checking the creator’s or publisher’s own public information. Retain original spelling and verified aliases; a first search-result portrait does not establish identity. Name order, namesakes and team names can mislead, and a team credit should not be split into unverified individuals. Log conflicting forms and sources instead of forcing a choice. Only public professional credits are needed, without unrelated private addresses or contact details.
## Bound the attribution in your commentary
Comment on the composition of a particular page without asserting that one credited person alone decided every layout. Separate verbal expression from lettering placement when discussing balloons. If only story and art credits are public, cite those roles without inventing finer divisions. For an invented example, praise for a fluent translated line concerns that edition’s translation; it does not establish identical rhetoric in the original. Keep commentary within the evidence and credit scope instead of presenting guesses as production facts.
## Check staff changes in later volumes or revisions
Open each later volume’s credits to check additions, departures and role changes rather than copying volume one across the series. Revisions may change translator, lettering or proofreading, but record only stated changes. Key the log by volume and edition, retaining a source even for unchanged names. Do not infer an uncredited contributor from style. For conflicting credits, check old information and dates, then leave unresolved matters pending instead of treating a personal bookshelf correction as an established fact.
## Preserve credit evidence and return references
Bookmark title and copyright pages where supported and map each role field externally. Test returning to avoid an advertisement or neighbouring cover. If editing the bookshelf author field, use what the actual interface can express and retain full roles separately; metadata editing is not assumed to rewrite original credit pages. Share edition, role and source location with only necessary short fields. After changing sources, check that credits are present; missing pages are a file-scope change, not cured by keeping old page numbers.
## Acceptance and common attribution mistakes
Finish with explicitly sourced roles, clear creation/production groups, name uncertainties and volume scope. A single cover name may omit joint work inside. Uploading a file does not establish authorship. An unlisted proofreader means only that the available credits do not name one, not that proofreading never occurred. Keep the minimal record needed for your discussion without filling gaps or extending one edition’s credit into a permanent career-long responsibility.
