Seinen discussion board

Well, no one made a Seinen discussion board before.

Now for some seinen series, pretty much any visual novel will fall under this. For series that isn't seinen but is confused as one, Mirai Nikki is an example because it's violent, horrific, and having adult themes in it. The spinoff series Mirai Nikki: Paradox, however, is Seinen. Another example is the Alternate Universe Read or Die: Rehabilitation, which despite the original Read Or Die and the spinoff Read or Dream being Seinen, Rehabilitation runs on a Shonen mangazine and it's even Darker and Edgier than the latter two, complete with a protagonist (a different Yomiko (not the same one as the original)) who's literally the opposite of its original counterpart: Anti-Hero instead or regular Hero, white hair instead or black hair, Hellish Pupils instead of regular pupils, light blue eyes instead of dark blue, a dark-colored Stripperiffic outfit as opposed to the light-colored office outfit that was no way revealing, and a Ms. Fanservice to top it all off. Now for the Rurouni Kenshin OV As (Trust & Betrayal), what makes them Seinen if they're adapted from a Shonen series?
