How to add tags?

Is there a way to write admins?

Not even ecchi or erotica I have seen have ever been this detailed, it would not be wrong to just tag this hentai

RichRinJin said:

This is a million miles from hentai! Yes there are some sex scenes but the whole tone of this manga is much more serious. It’s a bleak story of adolescence and not for everyone. I rate this manga very highly!

CrunchyCrobat said:

There's a manga called Maka Maka, which is very similar to this in having lots of story focused chapters with not even a bit of ecchi in it but also sex focused as well, that is taged as all three, ecchi erotica and hentai, and that doesn't even show genitals unlike this, if that can be tagged hentai, so can this

RichRinJin said:

Please just read the first chapter of both of these, there is a vast chasm between them. Maka maka is hentia, you don’t even need to read the whole chapter to see that! Umibe no Onnanoko is very different, much more serious.

What is bro defending?

It’s obviously a hentai erotica, I haven’t read maki maki but I’ve seen my fair share of erotica and guess what: this shit Is 10x more graphic and detailed. Just because it has a dark tone doesn’t mean it isn’t hentai: look at any NTR

RichRinJin said:

I’m defending my opinion! You have your view and I’m fine with that but I want to represent a different view and have people know that. I don’t want this manga tagged as hentai because in my view it is not. No more no less!

TommyTheWeeb139 said:

Right, but how is it not hentai? That’s all I want to know

RichRinJin said:

Putting aside the original meaning of the word hentai, the way it’s being used here would be defined as a style of Japanese pornographic anime and manga.

Having a depiction of sex does not always mean it’s pornographic. I hope you understand that and I don’t have to start to define pornographic!

So my view it even though it contains adult material and sex it is not pornographic and therefore not hentai.

RichRinJin said:

It’s not the manga thats different, it’s our understanding of pornographic. You can graphically describe a sex scene but the context of that scene in the manga needs to be understood to determine if it’s pornographic.

I now feel I’m starting to go in a circle on this one, so let’s agree to disagree and move on. I’m happy for us all to have our own views!

I agree with the user who started this post, I was rather unpleasantly surprised myself how graphic this manga was when I started reading it. That said since the time this forum has been started and at the time of making this comment this entry has been added to the "erotica" genre here on MAL which I think is fair, given how many sex scenes there are and that they're all mostly uncensored.
