here, educate yourself

Alright, so it says they're not aloud to show the vulva or phallus in commercial works, but that doesn't explain why commercial mangas still do it. I remember that Battle Royale had several scenes that showed a man's erection.

I can't see MGX as anything but seinen, can't imagine a kiddie finding pleasure in this kind of manga

We had this kind of argument a couple months back. Manga are not labeled by their content. It is all based on what magazine they are serialized in in Japan, therefore some mature feeling series like is a shonen, and other series that could easily be read by young boys are labeled Seinin. It just happens that the majority of Seinin are more mature because they are aimed at an older audience.

Hence why I said I can't really see kiddies reading this, not that they don't it's just not what most kids would find interesting. They're called demographics by the way. Shojo, shonen, seinen, and josei are all demographics not genres. They're more of a economic term rather than a literary term because they're used when targeting certain consumer bases.

The subject was never pornography in japan, and I think we all now agree that this is a seinen..
