Manga/Onani Master Kurosawa (feedback needed)

So, I read our page on this. I'm inclined to believe its not porn, but with a premise like that, I definitely want some feedback. Anyone actually read this?

...what the hell?

That's so ridiculous. Well, at least it doesn't involve kids. I'd like to know myself if it's just porn or just happens to have a sexual concept at its center, which isn't the same thing. I'll probably never read it, but I can't go back after having read its description without knowing.

From what I hear, it's not porn or even close to it. I've heard it described as 'Death Note, only with fapping.'

Edit: Oh, even the trope page says that.

Yeah, I read it.

Porn is definitely the biggest misnomer you can give it.

It's more as a psychological journey into a teenage misanthrope learning to grow the hell up.

But done in the most absurd and intentionally Narmy way possible. Hence "Death Note with fapping".

The Imagine Spots can get pretty raunchy but there's nothing explicit shown. I don't even remember if there's any nudity, but I do remember that there was no depictions of genitalia despite the male lead...yeah.

Yeah. I was the one who submitted this, and like I said in my defense for it, it probably doesn't need to be cut - maybe watched, and the only thing I find somewhat really cut-worthy is that they're all in "middle school" but... I think it's got enough going for it that it would fall either under the comedy or drama exemptions.

Note: In Japan middle school is ages 13-15 not ages 11-13. Also, let's check the work. Lots of things have bad premises and you end up with nothing more than the typical fanservice.

I've actually read this fully a year or so ago, and didn't get the impression that there was porn or pedo pandering whatsoever. It's just one of those premises that make you go "Wait what huh?!?" when you first hear about it.

I've read this as well, and aside from the title, it doesn't really have anything explicit in it. Gross, maybe, but no genitals and no nudity whatsoever.

Oh I remember this. The first half is weird and kinda gross but not pornographic iirc.

The second half definitely justifies the odd (if actually pretty funny) first half, it absolutely does not encourage the protagonist's behaviour and explicitly points out that early on he was a pretty disgusting person and he needed to grow up. To me that's enough to say that it's ok.

I vaguely remember reading this a long time ago, and don't recall anything objectionable except the premise. The content remains clean, IIRC.

Some of the fantasies are iffy, but it's never explicit. It's a case of Better Than It Sounds.

I think this is solved.
