A lot of "mature" series that I've read have more explicit content than Basilisk. For example: Gantz, Battle Royale, and Ichi the Killer. Someone please explain this to me. ________________ Glados is a bitch. She made me kill the companion cube, the only friend I'll ever have. :cry: Chibidoro-sama=Neko-freak

As far as I see, ppl tend to use "mature" term for manga with a lot of explicit scenes, and "adult" for manga with really serious themes, like high level violence, crime, death, drugs, etc. ________________ Still the bad cop.

Basilisk is very tame compared to Battle Royale etc... It has violence but it isn't bad compared to the others. It doesn't have brains spilling out everywhere or limbs flighing around. It also doesn't really have sex in it which cannot be said for the others as well. ________________ I've got to burn your eyes.
