• March Comes in Like a Lion → March Comes In like a Lion
• March Comes in Like a Lion (film) → March Comes In like a Lion (film)

– Per MOS:TITLECAPS. Firstly, in this case, "in" is not used as a preposition, because "come in" is a phrasal verb (see Oxford Learner's Dictionary). The guideline states that "words that have the same form as prepositions, but are not being used specifically as prepositions," including "particles of phrasal verbs," should be capitalized. Secondly, in this case, "like" is used as a preposition (see Oxford Learner's Dictionary). The guideline states that "prepositions containing four letters or fewer (as, in, of, on, to, for, from, into, like, over, with, upon, etc.)," except "instances where these words are not used as prepositions," should not be capitalized. 118.8.81.75 (talk) 06:46, 26 April 2020 (UTC)—Relisting. Jerm (talk) 19:19, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

• Comment. It seems like there was a previous discussion about this at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters/Archive_23#March_Comes_in_Like_a_Lion a few years ago. Though it seems like the article was moved back to its current capitalization a while after that. So I'm not sure what the best decision would be.

From a cursory internet search, it seems like people's capitalization choices for this title (across both official and unofficial sources) tend to be pretty inconsistent :P. Crunchyroll and ANN use March comes in like a lion, which appears to be the stylized version of choice on official posters and stuff (MAL also uses this capitalization). Aniplex's trailer video on YouTube used March comes in like a Lion. Netflix uses March Comes in Like a Lion (various manga tracking sites like MU, AL, KIT, and also the fan Wikia also use this capitalization). Though A-P uses March Comes in like a Lion. And AniDB uses March Comes In Like a Lion. Ahiijny (talk) 20:33, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

• Comment: In actual practice, people only capitalize prepositions-as-adverbs when they come at the end of a title. So "March Comes In", but "March Comes in Like (or like) a Lion". There's always that tension between "what would be most logical" and "what people actually do". — the Man in Question (in question) 20:32, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
• Comment. It seems that the technically correct capitalization is "March Comes In like a Lion", because "in" is part of a phrasal verb and "like" is a preposition shorter than five letters. But it looks a bit weird and counterintuitive to capitalize "in" right next to a lowercase "like". -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:26, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Formatting for the article's title (and the title itself)

Based on the official English release from Denpa, the title should be formatted as either "March Comes In Like a Lion" or "March Comes in Like a Lion". 2601:5CE:200:CF30:4C7:2637:C20B:93A6 (talk) 01:23, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

English release dates

Denpa doesn't list this manga on their website so I'm not sure what to cite as a source. But both Amazon and Barnes & Noble list the same release dates - for volume 1 it's June 6, 2023, for volume 2 it's September 5, 2023 and for volume 3 it's May 28, 2024. Additionally, Kindle version of volume 1 was available a month earlier, on May 3, 2023. Can someone weigh in on which date(s) to add and what to cite as a source? 88.220.46.237 (talk) 12:13, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

The problem with Denpa is that their dates are very susceptible to change, so until a volume has effectively been released, it's preferred to leave it unspecified rathen than modifying it every time that they postpone them. By standard, we prioritize print release dates. Regarding sources, secondary sources like Anime News Network are preferred. Sites like Amazon and Barnes & Noble are fine as well, but I stress the uncertainty of the dates. Xexerss (talk) 13:06, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
