I noticed that someone submitted some "manga DVDs" in the anime submission queue (here, here, and here). I had never heard of these before, but after looking into them, it appears that they are DVDs with a video showing digital images of the manga pages along with sound and voice. It sounds a little bit like a manga equivalent of an audiobook, except that it obviously includes video of the manga pages. Do those belong in the encyclopedia in any form? If so, would they be a release of the manga, or would they get their own separate entries like the person who submitted them seems to be suggesting?

Hmm, I think I'll say no. This is too much of an edge case for the Encyclopedia. It's almost the same thing as drama CDs and we don't list those either.
