I've been wanting to catalog my manga collection online for security purposes, so I try ListerX ... well.. they arent working right now. So could anyone tell me what site I could go to so I can catalog my list?

I guess I should of been more descriptive. I was looking for a site that specifically does manga cataloging. So whenever I go to my list, I dont just see a list of names, I see like Berserk #2, and I see a picture of Berserk #2 and so on, like ListerX did. But thank you for the help.

Well, it's also not manga specific, but there's http://www.librarything.com.

I will second uberfrosch's suggestion to check out Library Thing. You can enter up to 200 books free of charge, and then there are two options for paid accounts: by year, and for life. The lifetime deal really is the best, and it allows you to have an unlimited number of books in your library. Since you're looking for a way to catalog your volumes for security reasons, I would venture the guess that your collection is (or will be) rather substantial.

Library Thing also allows you to tag your volumes in multiple ways, a function ListerX does not have. It also allows you to list multiple copies of the same work, should you own them.

Also, as dormcat pointed out, there is a catalog-type function here on ANN as well, although it sounds like you're looking for something a bit more library related than anything else.

Yep, this is exactly what Im looking for. And yes, its going to be very big since Im a very serious collector of rare manga in edition to new mangas. Im at over 100 mangas now after I ordered 11 Sailor Moon mangas on Ebay. Got a good deal for it too. 80 bucks before shipping. Very Happy And thank you for the link person who gave this to me.

Wow thanks, this site is really cool. I like to see people that share my interest in the same books! The only problem is that they dont have all of the books in one series. I tried typing in Chobits and it didn't have all the volumes.. Sad

Try searching by ISBN number as it work for me when series don't show up. I really like the graphical shelf option that let you view all the cover for your collection together. I'm just drawn to cover art.
