When I try to get a manga's genre tag this specific tag appears:
Eligible Titles for You Should Read This
but this tag doesn't appear on site so why does it appear in the api? this isn't really a genre

https://api.myanimelist.net/v2/manga/154739?fields=genres

output:

[
{
"id": 154739,
"title": "Ryuu ni Kou: Nie no Otome no Koufuku na Mi no Ue",
"main_picture": {
"medium": "https://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/manga/3/308876.jpg",
"large": "https://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/manga/3/308876l.jpg"
},
"genres": [
{
"id": 84,
"name": "Eligible Titles for You Should Read This"
},
{
"id": 13,
"name": "Historical"
},

"name": "Mythology"

@EdibleMuffin Hidden tags are a recent addition to the site. I think this is currently the only example available, but they might add more in the future.
The tag corresponds to this category:

https://myanimelist.net/manga/genre/84/Eligible_Titles_for_You_Should_Read_This

The easiest solution is probably to ignore ID 84, especially since you cannot distinguish regular and hidden IDs from the API.
It's certainly not the best way to go, but the API is unmaintained and I doubt they will add a new field to filter genres.
