PW5: converted mobi type book/document/comics

Hello,

I have a kindle paperwhite 11th generation with the last update 5.14.2.
I'm used to convert mangas and comics using KCC, Kindle Comic Converter
https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc

With the recent update, in the library, there is now a filter view button.
Converted mangas are included in the type "books" instead of "comics".

So, I've tried kindle comic creator to create a comic instead
https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Comic-...de=23496309011
and I also tried Kindle Previewer
https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Previe...de=21381691011

With kindle comic creator and Kindle Previewer, the created/converted manga is included in the type "documents" instead of "comics" in the filters of the kindle paperwhite.

Both tools create an epub file and then convert the epub to a mobi file.
kindlegen seems used in both cases to convert from epub to mobi.

in each case, the epub file contains a content.opf with the tag
<meta name="book-type" content="comic"/>

I had a look at
https://kindlegen.s3.amazonaws.com/A...Guidelines.pdf
nothing is specified there about the type except the tag
<meta name="book-type" content="comic"/>

Do you have any idea how to force the type to comics?

Thanks in advance for your feedback and your help.

I believe the Comics tag come from ASIN tag associated with the comics, because when I use "Download and transfer via USB" to transfer official comics onto my airplane-mode Kindle, it doesn't show up as Comics either. It does show up as Comic for my Kindle that's online.
