Add a show or manga and track it

Add a title from the Atlas or by hand, set its status, log episodes or volumes with +1, score it, and keep dates, rewatches and notes — in your Anime & Manga Library.

Your Anime & Manga Library is one list for both: anime by episode, manga by volume. The Watchlist and Manga Shelf in the rail open its two halves.

Before you start

  • A Waypoint account. The library is free.

Add a title

  1. Open the library

    In the Anime Realm's rail, choose Watchlist (or Manga Shelf).
  2. Start the form

    Press + Add a title.
  3. Find it in the Atlas

    Under Find it in the Atlas (auto-fills title + cover), start typing and pick the show. It reads Linked to the Atlas. For manga, set Kind to Manga first — the box then searches the Comics Atlas.
  4. Or enter it by hand

    Not in the Atlas? Type the title yourself. For anime, we ask for it to be added, and your entry links up when it is.
  5. Set the status

    Status: Plan to watch/read, Watching / reading, Rewatching / rereading, Completed, On hold or Dropped.
  6. Add the rest (optional)

    A score, how far you are and the total, Started and Finished dates, tags and notes. Leave Visibility at Private, or choose Public (in Discover, with your name).
  7. Save

    Press Add to library.

Check it worked

The title is in its status section, with a card showing your progress — 3 / 12 ep.
The Anime and Manga Library: Add a title, Import or export your list, tabs for All, Anime, Manga and Discover, a Your lists strip with a favourites list, then search, status filter, sort and a Scores as menu above the first watching entry.
The library: add, filter and track from one page.

Track as you go

  1. Log an episode

    Press +1 ep (+1 vol for manga) on the card. Reach the total and it moves to Completed by itself.
  2. Change the status

    Use the card's status menu — Plan, Watching, Rewatching, Completed, On hold, Dropped.
  3. Edit the details

    Edit reopens the form; Remove takes it out of your library.

Scores and rewatches

Scores show the way you choose under Scores as: 5 stars, 10 points or 100 points — the same score either way. Moving a show from Completed to Rewatching starts its progress from 0; finishing the rewatch adds one to Times rewatched.

From a show's page in the Atlas, Start tracking adds it as Watching and Plan to watch as Plan, and Mark episode … watched logs episodes there too.

If something's off

“Episode … hasn't aired yet — episode … is the latest.”
You're caught up. +1 works again when the next one is out.
“That title is already in your library.”
It's there already — search your library for it.
+1 ep is greyed out or missing
Progress has reached the total, or the show is Completed or Dropped.
“Too many requests. Please slow down and try again shortly.”
You pressed +1 very quickly many times. Wait a moment.
