About MangaVault

Finding out where a series is being updated, what it's rated, or whether it's even still ongoing usually means checking three or four sites and comparing what you find. MangaVault was built to remove that step. It's a search engine purpose-built for manga, manhwa, manhua, anime, donghua, and webtoon titles: type a name once, and it returns a single, deduplicated list pulled from multiple public sources, complete with cover art, ratings, chapter counts, and a synopsis.

How it works

When you search, MangaVault queries every connected source at the same time rather than one after another. The results that come back are matched against each other so the same title from different sources collapses into a single entry, then the combined list is ranked by relevance before it's shown to you. The practical effect is that one search here does the work of several searches elsewhere.

Who it's for

  • Readers who'd rather check one place than several before deciding what to start next.
  • Developers who need search, catalog, or recommendation data and would rather call one endpoint than build and maintain integrations with each source separately.
  • Curators and community builders who want a single trending feed that already reflects activity across sources, instead of stitching one together by hand.

The API

Everything the site itself uses — search, trending, and chapter image extraction — is exposed through a public JSON API. If you want to integrate MangaVault into your own tooling or app, the available endpoints are documented in the API docs.

Status

Because results are pulled live from external sources, an occasional outage or formatting quirk is expected as those sites change their layouts — if something looks off, it's almost always a sign that a source updated its page structure, not that the underlying data is wrong. Fixes for these typically follow within a few days of being noticed.

A note on content

MangaVault indexes publicly available metadata — titles, descriptions, chapter counts, ratings, and cover thumbnails — for the purpose of discovery. The built-in reader feature proxies chapter images from their original source CDNs in real time; MangaVault does not permanently host, store, or cache any copyrighted chapter images on its own servers. All content remains on and is served from the original source infrastructure.
