The shapes #

`TitleCard` #

A title as it appears in a list.

`id` is the shikimori id and is the only key this catalogue has ever had. It is a number here rather than a string, unlike the ids above: these are five and six digits and always will be, since they are somebody else's sequence and not ours to outgrow.

`id`	`number`
`title`	`string`
`title_orig` may be absent	`string \| undefined`
