At the moment, one has to browse the manga information page for details to be scraped and thumbnails generated for the first time if you go to the edit page.
Ideally, metadata for all manga should be available whenever it is added to a library.
This is necessary to implement future features such as searching by tags, genres, and authors.
Upon failure to retrieve metadata, the UI should show a notification to manga with no metadata.
From that point, a maintainer should be able to manually input a mangaupdates ID or manually fill in the fields.
