I was wondering in case a manga series doesn't have an anime series based on it, can you add in cast members from the Drama CDs?

I was thinking about this since the Encyclopedia allows you to add in Cast members in the manga sections. And in the case of Future-Retro Hero Story manga (which never had an anime series on it) which has a huge amount of Drama CDs (15 to be exact). I actually have one of the Drama CDs and one of the voice actors (who does Zohar) voiced a character in Sailor Moon.

So is it okay if I add in Cast members on the Future-Retro Hero Story Manga section from my 'What a Wonderful Adventure!' Drama CD?

Actually, you'll find that even though there's a cast section for manga, it's impossible to add anything in it. Cast can't be added from the dropdown menu, and there's no orange "+" button. The only reason you can see a cast section is because the Encyclopedia was first and foremost built for anime information. Manga was added almost as an afterthought, because we had manga reviews. In other words, I don't think we want full details about drama CDs. But I wouldn't mind if you added the titles of those drama CDs.

I only mean the voice actors in the Drama CDs. I don't mean what company made it and who worked on the CD. If there is an anime series with a Drama CD, voice actors/characters that only show up in the Drama should be listed with (Drama CD) with their name.

It would be neat if there was a section for Drama CDs, the only problem would be how to sort them. Would Drama CD 1 and 2 be together if it's the same series or separated? I would rather have Drama voice actors be listed on anime and manga sections than make up sections for Drama CDs. It would just be easier to deal with. Because if you make Drama CDs sections, what about video games?
