I found another title that I was just read yesterday that I feel has been wrongly identified as an adults only manga. I submitted an error report for Renai Shijo Shugi, in that while there is sexual content, there is no hardcore material to certify it as an erotica. This is run in a shojo magazine. At the same time I do believe that whoever voted this series for erotica was confused by the how far erotica will take the content. Therefore the meaning behind the erotica genre has not been put into the light.

I have read Love Lucky and it does have a lot of strong sexual content. However, dormcat, would you classify that as hentai? I ask because while I like reading ecchi/risque manga, I try to draw the line at hardcore hentai looking manga.

spoiler[With what essentially is oral sex, doggy style, and nipple looking, how do you not classify it as that? The genitalia are shadowed out (not mosaic censored but fogged out).]

1. It was serialized in Young Magazine, which was not and would never be an adults-only magazine.

2. Age rating: Mature (May contain sex, drugs, and extreme graphic violence); mature titles can have sex, period. I've already mentioned many examples in the first post of this thread.

And stop asking my personal information via PM. That was borderline harassment.

I apologize, dormcat. I didn't intend on it being borderline harassment.

It seems that there has been an abundance of the erotica genre series added recently. Browsing through the Recently Added Titles, more often than not, the OVA will be of that genre

They have been in the submission queue for a long time; we just have some additional manpower to get those approved.
