{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Section header|What topics do we not cover?}} Although its scope is broad, this project maintains an essential focus on anime, manga and related merchandise originally meant for consumption in Japan. This does not include works with incidental or minor association. Animated or printed works produced for consumption outside of Japan that nevertheless draw on or are similar to Japanese media in terms of content or form (such as Chinese animation, Korean animation, manhwa, manhua and Western manga-styled comics such as Gothic Sports and Peach Fuzz) do not fall under our scope. Media, particularly video games, in which anime or manga characters make incidental or out-of-context appearances. Pre-modern manga such as Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga, their artists, and other related elements are better suited for inclusion with the Japan and Art WikiProjects. Composers, bands and musicians with incidental anime or manga association, such as having only a few of their songs sung for an anime opening, do not meet this project's scope. Articles on compilation albums with only a few anime or manga related tracks do not meet this project's scope.
