Comment by inhuman on Ianes Grécia

@Ianes Grécia What I believe is easy to understand : as of today where a child can have access to adult content from their smartphone, the classification does exist only to legally protect those who upload those adult content (and also for the purpose of when reader is searching for specific content as I stated earlier).

Feel free to dislike my comment or review – that’s your right! But at least I'm making an effort. If you can't handle different opinions, you might want to rethink being on the internet. Stay safe!

@inhuman this justification is also NOT EVEN RELATED the reason the categories exist in first place.
The categories of manga are not there for 'legally protect those who upload those adult content' these are not R-rates.
These categories are about the kind of TASTE.THE AIMED AUDIENCE MAY PREFER. That is what AIM FOR AN AUDIENCE means.
That is also why shonen manga still has content like gore and po** even when aimed for teenage.
That is also why each category has some kind of trend feature like shoujo eyes. Its because said audience, when looking for that category, EXPECT TO FIND THAT KIND OF CONTENT, even if they are not part of that specific audience.
That is what I meant in 'its helpful for the writers and readers'

@inhuman So yeah. Here is the basics:
If looking for super-hero fights/ journey of hero, look for shonen
If looking for magical girls/school romance, look for shoujo
If looking for brooding protagonists, look for seinei
If looking for slice life drama, look for josei
These are VERY LARGE strokes of what each category represents and are not exclusive to one another, but when a reader LOOKS FOR ONE OF THE CATEROGIES they expect to find at least the most basic of each of said features.
