Nozoki Ana?

[Kashing]

Why did Nozoki Ana disappear. It is written by Honna, Wakou and it seems that his other works are on mangadex. I know that Nozoki Ana was on mangadex before, but now it's gone.

You should proabbly turn on your hentai toggle.

I'm kinda annoyed that people keep tagging smutty series as hentai these days.

Yeah, i don't know. Aggressive (self)cuddling takes about 50% of screen time there. Just because you can't see the uglies doesn't mean it isn't porn. I've seen tamer series tagged with H.

Actually it does, that's what the smut tag is for

 

[totallynotmike]

Then there's the next part:

"I've seen tamer series tagged with H."

I'll side with Potter Stewart on the issue, just like everyone else seems to be doing. Because there's no consistency.

 

[Kashing]

Thanks everyone. I didn't know I had to manually turn on the hentai toggle.

Then report them so we can fix those mistakes.

You realize porn and erotica are not the same, right?

 

[totallynotmike]

You do realize that selective quotation that ignores the point a person was trying to make is a shitty thing to do, right?

Tags and R18 restrictions are set up willy-nilly by "contributors", same as those crude phonetic bastardized wapanese titles displayed first while browsing (which is super helpful when making decision about starting a series btw - "Fukanzen na Hito no Tame ni" sounds waaay clearer than "For imperfect people").

porn and erotica are not the same, right?

But as far as erotica goes... it isn't even particularly sensual. Just gratuitous scoring on part of the guy, passed through specific filters (voyeurism, exhibitionism, and control, submission, humiliation aspects of snm play) - at the end of the day, most of the sex packed in isn't there because plot called for it. Plot that, mind you, could've been told in about thirty - forty chapters, if you wanted to retain "relevant" coitus that serves the story or character development.

Correct H tagging as defined by MangaDex is enforced by the staff, and I repeat that if you think the "contributors" have made an error you're welcome to report them. As for the titles, using standard Hepburn romanization is generally preferred because we host scanlations in multiple languages. The only real reason it's not universally enforced is because the amount of whining when we change some established titles gets pretty unbearable pretty quickly, and also because the planned preference order update would make the whole problem obsolete anyway.

 

[totallynotmike]

as defined by MangaDex

tag porn (and only porn) as hentai. Ecchi and smut do not count. The primary focus must be on the sex, and genitals must be visible (typical censorship aside).

and or or?

edit: Oh wait, there's 2158. Okay then. You have lots of korean lesbian porntoons and some japanese softcore porn plots published in hentai monthlies to untag then. As explicit as they get, often nothing graphic is shown, aside from suggestive facial expressions.

And even if there were, naked person's face buried in between another naked person's thighs would count as "smut". Got it.

Why don't just follow the works' demographic? Since the definition of porn can differs by person, I believe putting the manga in their respective demographic would be the most wise choice. Manga which considered hentai should have 成人向け (for adults) or R-18 in their cover or front page.

 

[Tikibo]

Every hentai is manga for adults, but not every adult manga is hentai. What's more, there are adult manga with lot of sex which run in non-hentai magazines. https://mangadex.org/title/22664/mad-chimera-world is such example. There should be two different categories, manga for adults AND hentai. But it doesn't make sense if we are going to have custom filters.

Funny thing is that by MangaDex definition Mad Chimera World should be classified as hentai, even if it's running in 'normal' magazine.
