1) There is no "hentai without borderline h." Either a manga is H or it is not. It cannot be borderline if it is H, and if it is just borderline, it is never H. Those are mutually exclusive.

2) Yes, but it is rare and the context is seldom even remotely sexual in nature.

Quite frankly, your seeming obsession with these kind of questions is a bit unsettling.

They do but not very often. The most innocent, genital-showing manga that comes to my mind would be Bake Kano by INOUE Yukihiro. The mangaka plays tons of sexual jokes where the middle-school characters themselves are unaware of how misleading their positions are. Here are two examples (beware of SPOILERS!).

Then there's YOSHIDA Motoi's Natsu no Zenjitsu, a realistically beautiful character sketch. You might argue that the sex scenes are explicit enough to be considered borderline H, but they are so pivotal to the story in how they show the protagonist's first exploration of love and sexuality that a borderline H tag seems inappropriate to me. Have a look at this scene (SPOILER!).


By the way, could you specify once more what your definition of "Hentai without borderline H" is? I still have a hard time grasping this paradox concept.

There are some manga which have hentai in their genre but also have borderline h in their category.
Eg.,Evergreen

Yeah, no. I've read Evergreen and there is nothing borderline about that one. That is just a mistake in the tags. If something is H, it is H.

If tagged with hentai, it is hentai. Maybe someone put the category "borderline H' because it wasn't too much "hentai" for them? Maybe not that explicit or with many sex scenes? Maybe too much story/plot? I don't know, but probably all of them are hentai for sure, yes.

Can you please tell me why are you asking this again this year? Were the definitions confusing to you? Maybe if you tell us what you didn't understand (like what is hentai etc), we could answer it more clearly.

There is a interesting discussion in this thread: http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?page=1&tid= 42211

Unfortunately, as I've come to discover, genitals do make their appearance in virtually all age levels of manga in certain contexts. Kids manga can have small children nudity (this is one of Japan's weirdities). Just look at Beelzebub, that's apparently a-OK. Seinen and Josei manga sometimes show female frontal but as far as I've seen male's depiction is usually reserved for non-sexual contexts. Honestly, I wish nether regions would be left out of normal manga, but that's how it is. cry

I think one of the key points people are missing is that borderline H manga are typically normal (albeit ecchi) manga that are published in magazines that don't allow for explicit sexual content and those authors have to work within such restrictions. Magazines have certain standards of what they'll allow to be shown based on the demographic and what kind of stories that they want to feature. Explicit sexual content found in hentai is restricted the top tier "seijin" (meaning adult) demographic which to my understanding is just for hentai. Mangaka of borderline H series are probably willing to sacrifice the explicit content for their stories to keep them at the seinen level so they can appeal to a wider audience.

I also wonder what OP is referring to by "hentai without Borderline h".

Maybe it means Manga with "Hentai" Genre but without the "Borderline H" Category.
Because maybe sometimes we could find some "Hentai" Genre Manga but has been tagged with the "Borderline H" Category.
