Master ero-mangaka 鳴子ハナハル / Naruko Hanaharu caused something of a sensation with his hugely popular debut compilation manga 少女マテリアル / Shoujo Material recently, but in reality this covered only a fraction of his work, the rest of which is rather scattered.
Here you can see a substantial portion of his stand alone illustrations, posters, CG, etc., most of which are now difficult to obtain.

This interesting image is a compilation of the eyes of various characters, by a selection of popular ero-mangaka. How many can you recognise?

As we saw before, shoujo manga seem to escape all censorship and are packed full of scenes able to put even full on ero-manga to shame. Shonen manga, by comparison, are tame, heavily censored things, or are they?

Shoujo manga is actually some of the most explicit manga outside of actual ero-manga, vastly more so than shonen manga and seemingly considerably more so than most seinen manga.
Thus, I couldn’t help but notice the interesting question raised by the Vippers in this thread, “Why doesn’t it ever get censored?” Examples proffered below…

The latest crop of ero-doujinshi springs a few surprises on us, and, in particular, Strike Witches shocks by actually having the lowest proportion of ero-doujinshi of the titles sampled. Other series also prove to exhibit some unexpected turns, not least poor Kanokon…

Delighted fans exclaim that the latest chapter of the To Love-Ru manga is bordering on ero-manga territory, with tentacles and elementary school loli breasts aplenty, and that is just the censored version.

Strike Witches forms a set of titles with an unexpectedly chequered past, and whilst the current anime seems to have found a popular and stable niche for showing off delicious not-pantsu in ultra low angle shots, when they escape the censors at least, the earlier original manga version, even illustrated by something of an ero-mangaka, in fact got canned over this very reason, and has only recently been revived as a completely different title, with a distinctly sanitised air.
Let us take a closer look at the original loli manga, and circumstances surrounding the cancellation, as it is rather interesting…

Prominent ero-mangaka ぼっしぃ/ Bosshi (also published as AskRay) is set to have his most recent manga title, 水着彼女 / Mizugi Kanojo (a sample of which is reproduced below in case you don’t have a clue about him or the work in question), adapted into an ero-anime by studio Pink Pineapple.

The level of anticipation and furious interest centred on 鳴子ハナハル / Naruko Hanaharu’s (also Naruco Hanaharu – and he is assuredly a man despite the -ko) latest adult manga, 少女マテリアル / Shoujo Material, has perhaps been unprecedented; it is a little hard to fathom how such attention has come to focus on a mangaka whose works had previously been relatively restricted in availability, however high quality they were.

Coming upon much more 春画 / shunga, the Japansese erotic art of antiquity prone to make the contemporary stuff look tame, I though it time to make a few galleries of them, in addition to the earlier gallery.
