The manga Hajimete no Gal has recently been given the "erotica" tag after years of being labeled as "Suggestive." I don't see the logical reasoning behind this change and would like to request a review of this decision.

Hajimete no Gal
"Erotica: Features a significant amount of sensuality and sexual content that contributes to the story. Explicit nudity and sex scenes are included, but the plot and character development remain the primary focus. The intent is not purely for sexual arousal."
Just check chapter 191 as an example...
Since it seems you're still a bit angry from last time, I want to remind you that we don't change the content rating arbitrarily.
We have specific guidelines that all titles published on MangaDex need to follow, and if edit wars start on a title, we have the right to both remove the title edit permission from a user and lock the title page.

So we're getting the chapters that focus our purposes now? Check chapter 193.

It doesn't matter. If there's content in a chapter (even if it is just 1 page) that qualifies for a higher rating, the entire title will go with that specific rating.

Out of curiosity, shouldn’t Rent-a-Girlfriend also qualify for erotica because of it’s infamous pool chapter?

Maybe it's just me, but I still don't see chapter 191 as breaching the erotica level. The worst I see is brief fondling of naked breasts, which I'm not sure if that has bumped up any other manga (if any have or haven't, do tell).

It was at some point, but got reverted.

Where is this text from? I don't see it in the rules, and a Google search only points back to this thread.
CHP 48 Page 7 of this for example
That page is a better argument, although if the above quote is to be believed, then I don't see it as "contribut[ing] to the story". Also note that Junichi appears to be scrubbing Yukana in that shot (although I see how Junichi's line in the following panel might suggest otherwise).

Also, by this logic, Girlfriend, Girlfriend should also be listed as Erotica based on chapter 115. That I imagine would be controversial.

According to the Content Rating definiton in metadata when editing a title - "Erotica has sex but is censored." If even one instance of censored sex is shown, even if it's a dream or just a thought, then that bumps the content rating up to Erotica.
