Currently we have all three in the Encyclopedia. My understanding is that Cain Saga and Count Cain should be merged as they are the original series, and Godchild is where it was picked up after an 8 year hiatus...

So the encyclopedia should only have 2 entries:
Count Cain (alt tile Cain Saga)
Godchild (sequel of count cain)

Is this right ?

There is no manga titled "Cain Saga" or "Count Cain" at all. All 13 tankoubons of five titles (Forgotten Juliet, Sound Hatched by the Boy, Kafka, two Mark of the Red Ram, and eight Godchild) bear the "Hakushaku (Count) Cain Series" (伯爵カインシリーズ) subtitle.

I'd say "Cain Saga" should be categorized as an anthology. If it's not technically possible (there's no manga anthology in the Encyclopedia), it should be made like Memories, with five titles as "part of" it.

Japanese covers:
Forgotten Juliet
Sound Hatched by the Boy
Kafka
Mark of the Red Ram vol. 1
Mark of the Red Ram vol. 2
Godchild vol. 8

The cover of Godchild vol. 8 is large enough to see the subtitle clearly. Others might require some magnification.

I'll try to translate them (using Godchild vol. 8 as an example):

Japanese / English (remark)

花とゆめCOMICS / Hana to Yume Comics (serialized in Hana to Yume)

ゴッド チャイルド / God Child

伯爵カインシリーズ5 / Hakushaku (Count) Cain Series 5

由貴香織里 8 / YUKI Kaori 8 (vol. 8 of Godchild)

Sorry, you didn't understand my question ( or I don't understand you answer Anime smallmouth; ).

What I was wondering was, if you picked up a copy of Hana to Yume an flipped to the appropriate page in the magazine, would the manga be called Count Cain, or something else ?
