Pick up your dropped jaw. Yes, I know exactly what I'm talking about.

I just learned a manga named Kiss of Voice has DVDs as omake of its limited edition. They contain "digitized" edition of manga, which include music, animated background, and -- SURPEISE! -- voice acting. Those are NOT drama CDs: 1) they are not available separately 2) they have no new story; instead, they follow manga dialogue closely. They are more similar to "audio books."

However, no matter how hard I tried (with Encyclopedist clearance) I just couldn't add a single name to its "cast." Must I add respective roles to "non-anime roles" of each seiyuu individually? I believe there are other manga titles "digitized" as well. If it's not possible to add them to Encyc right now, please consider adding this function as special cases in the Encyc 2.0. Thanks in advance.

Oh God. And here I thought I had seen everything. My last certitude crumbles.

As you noticed, the encyc is pretty much hardwired to prevent adding voice actors to manga. I'll try to keep that in mind for Encyc v2.0...

There's also the "talking ink" that may lead to talking manga soon enough.
