Hentai Manga
Manga is the Japanese word for comics in general. In the rest of the world it also applies to drawing style.
The word is formed from the characters “man“, which means informal, and “ga” which refers to drawings or doodles. Draughtsmen are called “mangakas“.
Today we can find adaptations in animation, the so-called “anime“, films, video games, novels…. Since the eighties, they have been conquering western markets, forming part of the three great comic traditions, alongside the American and French-Belgian.
Nipponens tend to classify manga cartoons, not by gender, but by the segments of society to which they are addressed (children, teenagers and young adults). The most common genres are action and personal improvement (nekketsu), sports (spokon), magic (maho shojo), robots (mecha), erotic humor (ecchi)…
Hentai. The manga for adults
But today we talk about this topic only as an introduction to the most degenerate genres of Manga Comics. And we are going to find them inside the Hentai Manga.
Hentai in Japanese means “depraved” or “transformation”. It is the porn variant of manga and anime comics and has a great variety of contents, depending on the sexual activity and the characters involved, which being fiction, have very few restrictions in terms of practices.
Within the main categories, we can differentiate between heterosexual relationships, called “het” and homosexuals, divided into “Yuri“, between women and “Yaoi” between men, where we find Bishonen, androgynous, “Bara“, hairy and muscular types or “Oyaji“, incest with family elders.
Speaking of the range of Japanese fetishes in comics, we can have an endless range of sexual perversions.
The perversions of the Hentai
The “Dojinshi” are hentai sleeves made by amateurs, who in Japan have a great circulation, self-managed. They usually drink from already published mangas, even without sex, to adapt them to potentially depraved situations. As an example, Knights of the Zodiac, Naruto or Dragon Ball.
“Bakunyu” are comics with women with big breasts. Apparently they are not a country with as much nougat as they represent. Western references, I suppose…
“Petanko” is the gender that represents flat women, with hardly any breasts. They may have problems with the law, because they seem too young, even infantiloid.
“Straight-Shota” are mature women having sex with young boys. Women are often drawn overdimensioned, with large breasts, hips, thighs, buttocks… that seem to drown the male character.
“Oyakodon” are drawings about trios between siblings and their mother. It falls into the world category of Incest, or incest…
“Netorare” are sexual stories about infidelities, where the couple loves each other but one of them surrenders to the wishes of a third.
And there is more...
“Furry” are comics with humanized animals. Keep in mind that in Japan sexual relations between humans and animals are forbidden, even in Manga. But that doesn’t affect fantastic animals such as dragons, dinosaurs or ponies.
“Scat” doesn’t seem to have much confusion. It involves a lot of shit and its manipulation.
“Tentacles” are comics in which, in a great majority of women, they are raped by animals with tentacles, even though they can’t just be octopuses, as said before. But you can put tentacles to almost any bug.


“Trap” refers to men with feminine traits dressed as women.


“Kimomen” is the relationship between girls and ugly, hairy, old, dirty men…
“Chikan” are all kinds of sexual harassment of schoolgirls, workers, housewives… Few stories have a male protagonist. Stories on trains and in the subway are typical.
“BDSM” are drawings of scenes of domination, between men, women or mixtures. Humiliations, servility, maidens, American tape, strings. Everything you can imagine and more.


“Gore” or “Guro“. Well that, a lot of blood and a lot of painful and pleasant death. Cuts, amputations… a delight…


“Futanari” refers to hermaphrodites, usually women with huge phalluses.
“Lolicon” and “Shotacon” are sexual relations between prepubertal girls in the first case and between prepubertal boys and very old people in the second. Toddlercon” refers to children under the age of 6.
Japanese laws on the Hentai
Japanese law is a curious case. The production and distribution of child sexual material is prohibited, but only since 1999. In addition, possession of paedophile material was not a crime until 2014. But the restrictions do not affect any type of drawing because it is considered fiction.
Statistics show that in the audiovisual sector, manga- hentai anime companies account for more than 40% of the total. And it is not a country where 3 or 4 productions are made per year, but we are talking about more than 18,000 million US dollars in box office takings. They may generate a little pressure.
The irony of Hentai
Many times they exaggerate the breasts of a minor in order to pass her off as an adult.
The other way to avoid censorship (in Japan it is totally impossible to get ºhentai without censorship, whether manga drawn or anime for video) and that other companies outside the country publish these controversial publications completely open.
The most normal case is that of the country of the gringos, USAland, which is also the nation that puts the most to enforce international laws in Japan on censorship. But there, as in Spain, the laws are also squeezed to the maximum.
Legislation does not allow TOTAL display of both male and female genitalia. From the first pixelized, passing through translucent lines, lately they simply put a translucent ball in the tip of the tail or in the vagina… and everybody is happy!
They can also exchange a penis for a banana, a pineapple. The vaginas are exchanged for tomatoes, fruits, etc… Tentacles were among the first to replace cocks, today they have their own category.
In fact the legend says that the obsession with censorship was what originated the birth of the Hentai, thus giving a greater magnitude to the perversions and violence that are seen today in the volumes that are published, because they are not really genitals, the imaginations are shot to limits like those we have in the examples of the categories above.
And much more…
