Ero-Manga for Men vs Ero-Manga for Women

Ero-Manga for Men vs Ero-Manga for Women

This fascinating and rather amusing image attempts to describe a few key differences between ero-manga for men, and ero-manga for women (which do tend to overlap with shoujo/ladies manga at times), by way of a handy comparison.

Below you see the full image, which you just read in place if you are able, but otherwise I have prepared a translation on the Channel; please have a read, and share your thoughts if you are of a mind.

Anime & Manga Drawing Failure

anime-manga-drawing-fail-2.jpg

The illustration in all the following images fails in one or more crucial respects. Frequently dismally so. Feel free to heap ridicule on them. Artists take note.

AV Star Sora Aoi Adapted Into Ero-Shoujo Manga

JAV star 蒼井そら / Sora Aoi (or Sola Aoi), has received a decidedly erotic manga adaptation

JAV star 蒼井そら / Sora Aoi (or Sola Aoi), has received a decidedly erotic manga adaptation, and what’s more, we find the pornographic performer’s 2D antics are published in Kodansha’s Dessert magazine, aimed squarely at 15 to 25-year-old females, even helpfully including furigana should the vocabulary stray into unfamiliar areas.

Ero-Shoujo Manga

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.

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.
