Response Data

The bot returns a rich embed with the following information:

Displays romaji, English, and native (Japanese) titles

Format: Manga, Light Novel, One-Shot, Manhwa, Manhua, Doujinshi
Chapters: Total chapter count (or ? if ongoing)
Volumes: Total volume count (or ? if ongoing)
Start/End Date: Publication timeline
Status: Releasing, Finished, Not Yet Released, Cancelled, Hiatus
Average Score: Community rating (out of 100)

Serialization dates keep the precision AniList provides: year only, month and year, or a full date. Annie Mei checks the start and end dates independently and shows only valid dates. If neither date is usable, it displays -.

AniList genres (Action, Adventure, Romance, etc.) and user-generated tags

Author and illustrator information with their roles (Story, Art, Story & Art)

Synopsis (may contain spoilers for ongoing series)

AniList URL: Direct link to the AniList page
MyAnimeList link: Included in the description when AniList provides an idMal

If guild members have registered their AniList accounts:

Member names and their reading status (Reading, Completed, Dropped, etc.)
Individual AniList scores (out of 100)

Annie Mei fetches this data in groups of up to 25 linked members. If AniList cannot return one member or one group, available member results can still appear.

Search Tips

Adult titles are only shown in NSFW channels. Annie Mei also blocks adult results in DMs.

AniList IDs guarantee exact matches. Find the ID in the URL:https://anilist.co/manga/30013 → Use /manga search:30013

Light novels vs manga

AniList treats light novels and manga as separate entries. If searching for a light novel:

/manga search:Sword Art Online

May return the light novel, not the manga adaptation. Check the format in the response.

Manhwa and manhua

Korean manhwa and Chinese manhua are fully supported:

/manga search:Solo Leveling
/manga search:The Beginning After The End
