Collection
Everything on the shelf.
Keep track of volumes, languages, publishers, owners and purchase details — without turning your collection into a spreadsheet-shaped hobby.
Small tools for the things that won’t stay put — what you own, what you’re missing, and what you meant to write down before you forgot it.
A working shelf. Choose a volume to put it on the shelf or take it off. Nothing is saved and nothing is sent anywhere.

What this is
Kepu is one person making small, careful apps for problems they actually have. Not a studio, not a startup — just the tools that should already exist and somehow don’t.
The name is Thai: เก็บอยู่ — keeping.
Not kept, past tense, finished. Still keeping. Which is what a collection actually is: never done, always one volume short.
เก็บอยู่
Keeping
01 — Manga Shelf
Your manga collection shouldn’t require a very good memory. Kepu keeps your series, volumes and missing books in one place, so you can check what you have before accidentally buying volume 17 again.
One real shelf, still going.
Collection
Keep track of volumes, languages, publishers, owners and purchase details — without turning your collection into a spreadsheet-shaped hobby.
Series
Tap a volume to mark it bought. Add where you found it, when you bought it, and which edition it is. Thai titles sort correctly, which is harder than it sounds.
Shopping
See what’s missing, what’s next, and what you’ve been meaning to pick up — all in one list. So the next trip to the bookshop is slightly less confusing.
Say hello
If Manga Shelf is misbehaving, or you have a question, or you just want to point something out — there are two addresses. One person reads both, so an answer might take a day or two.
And then
Same idea, different little things. Nothing worth announcing yet — but the shelf was never going to be the only one.
