I noticed that manga was scannable in CLZ comics and I have been using it for years, even though I was grandfathered in with lifetime subscriptions in all the CLZ apps, I still decided to pay for the subscription.
Until a few months back, perhaps the end of 2025 I noticed I had re-purchased many duplicate volumes, it turns out that the database wasn’t no longer updated with Manga, at least not thoroughly any more. I hoped it was a bug and would be fixed but after seeing I had 12 duplicates, I realized that the new books were properly scanning in CLZ books, but not in CLZ Comics. Now I have to figure out how to export all the manga in CLZ comics into CLZ books to keep track. Not sure why this decision was made, but it makes me very upset.
Thanks!
Hi there, this is quoted from a recent newsletter:
It’s no surprise that the fall of the biggest comic distributor had a massive impact on the comic book industry as a whole. The ripple effect it created even had an impact on us, as the Diamond Previews were an important source of new release data. We patched the wound of missing comics almost immediately when publishers started to switch to different distributors. Our partnership with CovrPrice was a big help with this too. However, although not noticeable at first, it created a hole with missing manga, trade paperbacks and hardcovers for upcoming releases.
A few months ago, we asked CLZ web-developer Joe to create new tools to deal with the various new data sources we now have access to. And that has now been done! The journey to that goal definitely came with its own set of problems but he has made it work somehow (Joe truly is a coding wizard). He even worked on perfecting the way our data managers can edit and adjust new releases based on their FOC dates.
Our content managers Rowdy, Justin and Taco are now using the new tools to get new comic data in Core quicker and even before FOC dates strike. This will have the most effect on upcoming TPB’s, HC’s and Manga, but regular comics will also appear in our CLZ Core earlier!
Again sorry for the inconvenience!
If you want any titles to be added, it would help us if you provide the monthly catalog month it was listed in. This way we can add it quick and efficiently
