I've removed it, as the US edition (with silly Indic script-like font; who has the idea of linking it with Kama Sutra?) only has "parental advisory," not "adults only," on the cover. As far as I can see the Japanese edition has no warning message whatsoever at all. However, this really differs from country to country. While US and Japan has "mature" ratings (17+ and 15+, respectively), in Taiwan there is no such immediate rating; a book is either "available to all ages" or "adults only," and the local edition of Futari Ecchi inevitably falls into the latter category. |

And what's funny about it is that all of those titles in Young Animal will not have the "seinen comic" marker on it. Only the hardcore not so mainstream titles get the "seinen comic" marker that tells readers that it is hentai. This I find interesting in another sense because from all the titles that I've handled at my job I have not seen that mark on any of the yaoi titles. |

Young Animal does have a lot of adult titles, but this is specifically talking about Young Animal's sister magazine, Young Animal Arashi which mainly includes all ecchi series. Berserk doesn't show up in there and I don't think Spider Sniper does either. Futari Ecchi shows up in both with most of the specials in Arashi. |

You were saying? Either or, Arashi is one, but Young Animal itself still tends to have some provocative series. |
