 =====Adding new
+===Proposed Alternative High Level Relationship===
+This is here for discussion as a simpler relationship structure to see if it can withstand debate.
+=====Manga=====
+* Manga has_one Publisher
+* Manga is_one [ Magazine | Doujin | Novel ]
+* Manga has_many Volumes (at least one)
+* Manga has_one Release (likely a year)
+* Manga has Relationships to other related Manga just like Animes do.
+=====Volume=====
+* Volume has_one Manga
+* Volumes has_many Chapters (at least one)
+=====Chapter=====
+* Chapter has_one Volume
+* Chapters may_have_many Anime (aid)
+Any "entry" has a minimum of 1 row in all three columns in order to be in the system.
+For example say Naruto chapter 9000 was released in JUMP, NarutoFanMag and the actual Naruto Manga later.
+This would be 3 manga entries, 3 volumes and 3 chapters entries in the database.  This seems much easier as well as intuitive to the user.  Just because a Chapter contains the same story in 3 different publications doesn't mean it needs to be the same row.  It is a different physical object that just happens to have the same data (the likely won't be identical in many of the common cases).
