Should all editions of a series be sorted under one unique series?

[Backstaab]

Hi,

Japanese author Osamu Tezuka wrote a manga series called "Message to Adolf" (or "Adolf ni Tsugu") which has been released in several different editions, in 2, 3, 4 or 5 volumes.

Currently when looking at Tezuka page, we can see it sorted in different series, according to the number of books of an edition, with sometimes new editions in 2 books considered as "integrale" version of a 5 books series and not the same as a 2 books editions in another language.

Wouldn't it be better to create one and only series? and find a way to sort it according to the number of tomes in an edition?

Links to the different "series" of the same book:
2 parts + box in 3 parts sorted as 1 book (?)

3 parts
https://www.goodreads.com/series/1926...
4 parts + "integrale" in 2 parts
https://www.goodreads.com/series/2457...
5 parts

Thanks in advance for your opinion and help

Cheers,

Note that the first japanese release in book format was in 1985 and in 4 parts (it was later published in 5 parts, and also in 3 parts in japan):

(english wiki page only talks about the 5 parts US edition, not original japanese)
