I know there are already so many genres to select from, but I feel that these should be added to the list as well.

Moe
Gag
4 Koma
Kids

EDIT: and maybe incest should be added as well.

Like Doraemon. Manga for kids.

And 4 komas are usually short chapters, and has a slice-of-life feel to them. They have a comic strip format, and exist out of four panels. Incidentally, 4 komas mainly consist out of gag comedies.

I think that these words suit better as keywords, if that system ever gets implemented.

4 koma is a 4 panel manga series such as the Azumanga Daioh manga. And Kids would refer to Doraemon and Futari wa Precure.

I agree with all especially gag manga and 4 koma and incest

but personally I wish 2 genres (at least one of the 2) could be added for ppl like me to avoid and for ppl who want it......well...apparently there's a # of 'em

anyway they re

Sibling-con (sib-con).............. whatever........... u get the picture
and/or
Incest (most probably used for the more hard-core stuff........for the ppl who are into it)

....just wanted this to be present since many series are popping up with such subject orientation..... and I believe there is a huge # of ppl like redlinks and me who would like to avoid the topic completely

I wouldn't consider moe to be a genre, since genre refers to the plot not the characters.

4koma looks to be more like a manga type like those "manga, manhua, manhua"

Comedy can already cover for gag...probably..

Kids would be a demographic

Incest...has been discussed countless times and the answer is always no

and the admins have already stated a number of times that they will no longer add anymore genres.

not to be an ass or anything....or trying to insult you or the other mods and admins....
but

And i know that it was stated no more genre's.... but we're just bring up a problem

what do we do with sudden wave of emerging brother-sister etc love which is just popping out as a popular concept in the mangas..........for some unknown reason

maybe the word "incest" by itself might might cause problems after itll be put up as a genre category..........
why not make up a sub word or term that normal people wont know until we hint it to them or is only known in the otaku world.......

I mean even I have my releases page filtered from things idont wanna see.... but atleast around once a day I see a release of a series that concerns this

I know there are a # of ppl who dont mind..... but thats what the filtering tool is for..... right?......you dont see what u dont wanna see and u see what u wnna or dont mind

I am not going to bother you about this anymore.......but I had to let this out......since its bothering me......and most probably many others here........

Sorry for the bother and long rant

I'd like that harem would be divided into harem and reverse harem.
I also spend some time on wikipedia and they have Kaitou (thief) as a genre for series like DNAngel, Kamizaze Kaitou Jane, Arsene Lupin, Cat's Eye. Well this one could be a little too restrictive, but I wouldn't mind to be added.

Isn't this genre called "kodomo"?

"gag"?
"Moe"?

Hmmm maybe, but who'd add the additional genres to the mangas? 😕 Sorry, but I'm a little lazy 😀

Everybody who isn't lazy.
I don't think it's such a problem...

Recently I found that having 4koma as a genre, or as a type would really help...

but then there would have to be music, incest, yakuza, etc genres either.

wouldn't that be really hard?

Keywords are the key. (yay for puns...)
