This thread is for suggesting and discussing new tags to be implemented on MangaDex.
Read the guidelines below then post your suggestion as a reply here.

All tags are subject to review by the mod team and are not guaranteed to be added.

Guidelines:​

1. The tag should represent a broad theme or concept that can apply to many different series. Avoid tags that are too niche or abstract. Providing examples is encouraged to clarify where it would be used.
2. Provide a clear explanation of the tag's purpose and what type of content it's meant to categorize. At the very least your suggestion should answer the question: What type of content is it meant to categorize?
3. Avoid suggesting tags that could closely overlap with existing ones. If unsure, check our Tags Definition for guidance, ask if you're still unsure.
4. Tags should primarily focus on describing the content itself, such as its themes, genres, or storytelling structure. Tags that focus on external conditions or processes will be rejected. Other types of tags may be accepted, provided they help users identify the reading structure or navigational format of the content.
5. All suggested tags must align with our site rules. Tags for content that violates these rules will not be accepted.

Important:​

Currently a rework is being done to handle "porn tags". This new system will allow us to categorize these tags to flag them appropriately and segregate them from the main list of tags. Suggestions for these tags will not be considered at this time.


Below is a list of tag suggestions that meet the above requirements and are subject to review by the mod team. This list is a work in progress and will be updated.

Tags in consideration:​

  • Age Gap
  • Childcare
  • Idols
  • Economics
  • Educative
  • Short Comics
  • Kingdom
  • Enterprise
  • Cute Girls Doing Cute Things (CGDCT)

  • Farming/Agriculture
  • Child Abuse
  • Power Fantasy
  • Game Elements
  • Romantic Subtext
  • Iyashikei
  • Journey

The title is the best I could think of, but fair, open to alternatives.
It is, however, a rather clear trope, given the fact that it's many copy & paste implementations constantly are findable inside the popular list and that it is a standard used by many.
On the current featured, already, I count like 7 from their description alone that it would apply to and one where I read the first chapter of and saw it happen in there as well.
It certainly is a subgenre of Power Fantasy, in the "I may be regarded as trash, but they don't know I am actually super powerful" thought.
Wanna revisit the false underdog tag:
I still consider the trope of: "Main Character is considered weak by others, yet actually the most powerful" as something worthy of being tagged as such.
It is a common enough occurence in manga that it qualifies as a trope.
And false/fake underdog seems like the main designation so far, I don't really see a different one.

In short:
  • Daughter tag to power fantasy
  • Applicable if the hero is evaluated as weak despite being much stronger/has a weak class or skill that is actually the strongest/f-class, but actually SSSSS-Class, etc.
