Cannot locate any secondary sources to indicate notability. I tried checking the ja.wiki article for poachable sources but there are none. Admittedly I don't read Japanese so there may be Japanese sources I didn't find, and I will happily withdraw if that is the case. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:38, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

−* Delete− There are references for it, and an extensive page for it on Japanese Wikipedia Here Deathlibrarian (talk) 08:50, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't wanna be that guy who's in arguing with every keep, but that article you linked to is, at 3300 bytes, hardly extensive. Not only is it tagged as a stub, but it's actually smaller than our article, which is 3800 bytes if you don't count the AfD notice. There are also zero references anywhere in that article. I have no idea why you're misrepresenting the ja.wiki article but what you're saying is factually not true. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 09:19, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed my vote to delete - PMC Fair enough, yes I've done a double check. Even though it does have a Japanese page, there is really very little on this Manga. Deathlibrarian (talk) 03:10, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Unfortunately, the manga lacks significant coverage in either Japanese or English sources. Searching in English results mostly in the usual illegal scanlation sites, while the Japanese search wasn't much better, mostly consisting of sites that sell the manga.

Delete per the above comments. Article lacks enough sourcing in either language to meet the English Wikipedia's inclusion criteria, most significantly, WP:GNG. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:17, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
