Anime, manga, and games, with a take
Yomimono (読み物, "things to read") is a Yukimedia publication. We cover anime, manga, and games by clustering named public reporting and writing one English piece per event. Every story names the outlets listed as its sources.
One story, one take
Each Yomimono story has a headline, a short body, and a one-line "why it matters". The take is a fact-based angle, not a hot-take. We don't speculate about future stock prices, future franchise direction, or fan reactions. We say what's there, plainly.
Much of anime and manga news breaks first in Japanese. When the reporting we draw from is Japanese-language, the Yomimono piece is an English synthesis of that coverage: the original is translated, then written for an English reader, with every Japanese outlet named and linked.
How we handle sources
Every story carries a "Reporting from" line that names the outlets we drew from. The full list lives at the bottom of every story page, with a headline and a link for each listed source; Japanese headlines are translations. Some stories combine several outlets; many draw from a single approved outlet. A single-outlet story is published only from sources we have approved for that, names that outlet as its only source, and stays out of our monthly article sitemaps.
How we work
Yomimono reads a wide net of anime, manga, and games outlets continuously. Coverage of the same event is clustered together, and one piece is written per story rather than one per outlet. Every story is drafted by an AI model working only from the cited source articles, under written rules: stick to what the sources say, no invented detail, no spin presented as fact. Before publishing, automated checks reject banned phrasing, unsupported "first-ever" claims, and over-long headlines, and remove unsupported "exclusive" wording; a draft that keeps failing is not published. The full policy is on the editorial policy page.
Corrections
If a story is wrong, tell us on any channel below and we correct it and the story's updated date changes. That change is reflected in the story's structured data. There is no separate correction notice on the page. Every story still lists its sources.
Ethics and standards
The take is a fact-based angle, stated as such, never spin slipped in as fact. We write from the cited reporting and name all of it. Pieces are written with AI from those sources, checked automatically, and that is disclosed on every story page rather than hidden. No clickbait, no invented quotes, no "fans are losing it" theatre.
What we don't do
No clickbait. No unattributed copy. No "fans are losing it" theatre. No editorial spin without saying so out loud.
Open by design
The site is built to be cited, by humans and by language models. Every story exposes NewsArticle JSON-LD with full citation data. Site-wide there's llms.txt, llms-full.txt, an XML sitemap, and a standard RSS feed. Citations are CC BY 4.0: name us, link the story, you're good.
Behind every entity tag (a series, studio, or creator) there's a small structured knowledge graph: atomic, dated, cited claims accumulated from every Yomimono story that mentioned the entity. Each fact carries a verbatim quote from the source story and the date Yomimono first observed it. The graph is queryable as JSON at /public/entities (index of top entities; append /<slug> for per-entity facts and relations), /public/facts (filterable by predicate, entity, date), and /public/relations. Same CC BY 4.0 terms.
Each fact is also cross-checked against open-web sources regularly; the per-entity verification status (one of supported, disputed, contradicted, unverified) is surfaced as a small colored dot on the entity tags below every story and as JSON at /public/entities-health?slugs=a,b,c. The status is annotative, never destructive: a contradicted fact stays in the historical record but falls off the public surface once confidence slides below the 0.7 floor. The original article serves unchanged.
Brand
Wordmark set in Plus Jakarta Sans on cream. The pastel chip on each story marks its type (sakura for announcements, sage for releases, mizu for business, peach for reviews, lilac for op-eds). The eyes in the "o" of mono are the only mascot we plan to have.
