• OEL is a logical setting that lets the template know it is being applied to an article on an original English language manga title.
• publisher_en should not be used in this configuration since the title will have been originally published in English.

This is a list of the logical fields the template currently supports for genre.

Anthro – for Anthropomorphic – can be refined for funny animal and furry comics:

• For funny animals use "funny" or "funny-first" instead of "y" or "first"
• For furry comics use "furry" or "furry-first" instead of "y" or "first"

Some of these are mutually exclusive based on subgrenre:

• Action-adventure (Adventure) is the parent of — Martial arts (MArts), Spy, Superhero, Swashbuckler(Swash), and War
• Crime is the parent of — Detective and Mystery
• Cyberpunk is the parent of — Biopunk and Steampunk
• Historical is the parent of — Alternate history (AltHistory)
• Horror is the parent of — Vampire, Werewolf, and Zombie
• Science Fiction (SciFi) is the parent of — Cyberpunk and Post-apocalyptic (PostApoc)
• Thriller (Thrill) is the parent of — Spy

In some cases, two or more of the tags will post a combined genre to the infobox. These include:

• Comic fantasy — Fantasy and Humor
• Crime-thriller — Crime and Thriller (Thrill)
• Comic science fiction — Humor and Science Fiction (SciFi)
