45 years on the timeline fall inside the boundaries, 18 of them with nothing set there yet. The dark part of each bar is the share carrying this period; the lighter part beside it, the share carrying one of its sub-periods instead.

Share of the 8 genre taggings across 3 titles set in this period. A title filed under three genres is in three of these slices, so this is a share of taggings rather than of titles.

Also on the Timeline

Part of and part of it are declared by the archive: one period counted as belonging to another, whatever their dates. Periods overlap freely so concurrent means the two spans share years, and the shared stretch is named. Bounded means it lies wholly inside this one, beginning and ending more than 10 years within its boundaries. Before and after are the nearest periods lying outside this one, with the gap in years shown instead. A shared thread is what the two have in common besides the calendar, and a period lying wholly outside this one can still share one.

Periods before, during, inside and after Sengoku Japan, with their year ranges, the years they share with it, the threads they share with it, and how many titles the archive holds of each.
