Dear NACO colleagues,

I created an authority record for an underground manga magazine that is the subject of a book I cataloged. See online save file #250: Garo (Seirindō).
This is completely out of my comfort zone. Therefore, I would appreciate advice, in particular from those of you who know this type of material and, of course, from those of you who know Japanese.

This is the Wikipedia page about the magazine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garo_(magazine)<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FGaro_(magazine)&data=05%7C02%7Cyul-naco%40mailman.yale.edu%7C670aad10b1c24a4d160108dc0231a13e%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C638387659389504838%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=TbkxC%2BotVv04pi2910%2BcTaMlkhp5US69stivkef45O4%3D&reserved=0>. This website shows cover images of 80 volumes, including the first issue: https://comicvine.gamespot.com/monthly-manga-garo/4050-97467/object-appearances/4040-64715/<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcomicvine.gamespot.com%2Fmonthly-manga-garo%2F4050-97467%2Fobject-appearances%2F4040-64715%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cyul-naco%40mailman.yale.edu%7C670aad10b1c24a4d160108dc0231a13e%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C638387659389504838%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=WR8FPHQE8sH4m4RyUopptFuF3ATxZfNIeHjY6XXEYjw%3D&reserved=0>

Here are my questions:

  *   Is the transliteration correct?
  *   Is the preferred title correct: Garo (and not Gekkan manga Garo)?
  *   Following RDA 6.27.1.9 and the accompanying LC-PCC PS, I added a qualifier to the title even though it does not conflict with another title in NAF because it conflicts with other titles in our catalog and in OCLC. I note, however, that there are PCC records for other books about this manga where the choice of title in 630 00 is simply Garo (see for instance 1237994361). Do you agree that adding a qualifier is the right thing to do?
  *   Are there changes I should make to my record?

Thanks, and happy holidays,
Dominique
