That page 5...

Sakura trick doujin? awesome.

Why isnt this listed as a Sakura Trick doujin? Arent they normally tagged with the pairing? Yuu x Haruka or something?

After "getting used to being friends" this was a refreshing one-shot. :3

Cause...it isn't. It's complicated and there's some disagreement in terms of how we're supposed to categorize these things. We'll figure it out some day.

For now, assume all stories in this anthology will have the same themes and pairings as the main series, the latter of which will not be tagged.

How is it not a doujin of Sakura Trick when they are quite obviously the girls from the series? O.o Complicated in deed.

I think it's worthwhilie to keep doujins and official anthologies separate. However from a user perspective it is indeed somewhat counterintuitive that doujin and anthology categories are completed unrelated to each other. I wouldn't say this is just a doujin and anthology issue though, because you can't access a series' doujin or anthology pages from even the main series page either. Although this is just my opinion, what I would suggest is more direct linking between related categories rather than any merging of two together.

Also, pairing tags helps find these anthologies together with doujins (talking about being intuitive for readers, not for correct uses of such)

Because it's published and endorsed by the company behind Sakura Trick. Doujinshi are a firm step below that, completely unofficial.

If I'm understanding correctly, you're interested in more series being treated like Saki?

Though it may ultimately be a band-aid solution, official anthologies could be directly linked to (but not filed under) from the main series page and the doujins page. Not the prettiest(?), but I do think this would improve both visibility and properly link together related series/anthologies/whatever without improperly classifying anything.

Ah I see, I didn't realize the manga was official.

Ah, yeah, direct linking via editing the descriptions would be one way to go about it. The other would be programatically adding a "related categories" list to each page. Either way would mean an increase of work for somebody so I didn't want to specify a method explicitly.

Glad I understood. I had a similar thought yesterday(?) when there was a discussion taking place, wanted to see if we were on the same page or not.
Might go ahead and do it the next couple days then.
