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)
  • Maid
  • Banishment/Abandoned Protagonist
  • Farming/Agriculture
  • Child Abuse
  • Power Fantasy
  • Game Elements
  • Romantic Subtext
  • Iyashikei
  • Journey
  • Dungeon Crawl
  • Politics
  • Robots
  • Kemonomimi
  • Omegaverse

Separation of actual historical tag and “western themed fictional setting not on earth”​

Title says it all. Idk what you would call it, western setting…?

I know that adding alot of tags reduces their value, novelupdates is a good example of too many, but I feel like there’s a ton of works that would justify being put under that instead of “historical“ (looking at you every single Korean manga ever).

ideally historical tag will only take place in works based on... historical time periods or events and the other tag will be used for fictional settings not on earth.


I made this post because I am so tired of looking through the 100th medivial fantasy manga about a reborn protagonist vowing to get revenge when I just want something related to the past on earth

A lot of tags is actually useful! The more you have the more value they have when searching for titles.
MangaDex is lacking compared to what I'm used to.
But that is only as long as they are placed appropriately and what you are saying is justified.

Excluding Isekai or Reincarnation tags, or maybe Fantasy as well, does reduce most (I reckon 90% but don't quote me on this) of those fictional/fantasy historically themed works you mentioned. But yeah, would be nice to separate theme

I could, but sometimes reincarnation tag falls under what I’m talking about (reborn in the past), and ofc not excluding it leaves thousands of copy paste “reborn as empress in fantasy land“

for isekai ig that works but doesn’t solve the issue yeah

- Banished derivates
1. Family Banished
2. Party Banished
3. Kingdom Banished

  • Game isekai?
  • Villain possession?
  • Body swap?

Like I don't want to go full on hentai tags but some a clearly useful non non erotic series. Maybe part of the "report" feature we can submit tags, and then in the form a voting system and be created for that series where users who has the series followed/completed can vote to see which tag fits what?

Mtl tagging has been discussed at length in other threads and is not going to happen. Also it would require chapter tags to be a thing.
Chapter tags should be a thing.
There are a bunch of anthologies on this site where a single manga entry contains multiple stories from multiple authors. It'd be useful to apply tags to individual chapters in such cases.

This is a prime example of something that would benefit from per-chapter tagging in an anthology where one rotten author can ruin it for everyone.

Childcare
Childcare stories are becoming increasingly popular, so I absolutely support this.

On the other hand, I think a Slavery tag would be useless. The topic is just far too broad to form a meaningful opinion of a manga based on a tag alone. Is it main characters, side characters, or background characters that are enslaved? Was anyone enslaved against their will or did they sell themselves into slavery? Or maybe it is only criminals that are enslaved and used as labor for the state? That last one is not too different from a regular prison system.

I think the most basic tag that should be added is and will continue to be female and male protagonist. Why I don't mind reading either protagonist. I still prefer reading from the woman's perspective personally. But I know a lot of people want to read from the guys to. And some stories it doesn't matter either way. But it really is odd we don't have these tags.

There's a ton of good ones as well that should be added. Just to help you find those hard to find stories. That fit the rich your looking for.

Party banishment. However, very often it's right there in the title so I think it's less needed.

I am creating this suggestion topic, so people can make a list of possible useful tags and maybe explain your reasoning (there are a lot of tag topics, this would be one to generate a list).
My first suggestion is age gap, my personal reason is that I don't like romcoms with an age gap when it's a minor and an adult (I don't care if it's two adults thought, like Super no Ura de Yani Sū Futari. But I don't know if it is possible to make two different tags to separate both of them) If anyone else suggests other tags, I will create a list and keep updating this topic


  • Age Gap
  • Age Gap that have adult and minor (have no idea how to call it or if it's possible, but yeah)
  • Netorare
  • Childcare
  • Succubus
  • Assasins
  • Idols
  • Economics
  • False underdog
  • Journey
  • No Plot Armour
  • Female Protagonist
  • Motorsports / Automotive
  • Xianxia
  • Werewolf
  • Educative
  • One-page (mangas with one or two pages per chapter)
  • Hetero
  • Vore
  • journey / "world seeing"
  • tower / dungeon
  • western/eastern esthetics
  • possession
  • kingdom
  • enterprise
  • "Civ-Tech"
  • yandere
  • Slavery
Smut: hentai for girls
