Especially prevalent in manga, Japanese comics tend to start by being published to a weekly/monthly/other magazine.

Each issue of the magazine has a 1..n to other series.

It's also worth noting that the magazine is not the same as the publisher of the volumes that the issues are collected in.

The magazine itself can be ongoing or complete. And the multiple series in it can be ongoing or complete.

Baka-Updates shows all of this information: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=130757
Shuukan Shounen Jump (Shueisha) aka Weekly Shonen Jump is the magazine for Demon Blade / Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Though it's worth noting Amazon doesn't even have a place to display "Shuukan Shounen Jump (Shueisha)".

As a use case that would use this data, a user may want to see "In this issue, these Series are present", where each Series could on the magazine's page could link to the published volumes of the Series.

You could then search a Series, and see what magazine issues it comes up in as well

How would this fit into the anansi model?

Hi, this is similar to #21, I suggested an approach used by BookBrainz, which would reference Work within books.
