About

- Manga — Search by title or author; filters for genres, year, and ratings
- Characters — Profiles with appearances; search by character or parent anime
- News — Latest articles with search and external links

Stack and structure
Django apps split by domain (animes/, manga/, characters/, news/, quotes/) with shared base templates, custom CSS on a purple/blue gradient theme, and responsive pagination across list views.
