Glossary and explanation of the words
15 April 2007Maybe you are new to erotic japanese comics, so if that’s the case, you’ll be flooded with weird uncomprehensible words.
My two cents : a very small explanation.
- Hentai : basically, in japanese that means “something with sexual content”, stands like a synonym for “perverted”, today that refers to japanese-style erotic works drawn by hand or with a computer, displayed on video or on a paper.
- Manga : any drawn printed work, you would call that a comic.
- Mangaka : the artist that draws mangas
- Original manga : originally, that is a manga that isn’t inspired from anything else, that is a real original creation. Most of the rest of the time, the meaning has gained one addition, the name “original” manga now also implies it is written in japanese language and has no translation. I hesitated for a long time as to which meaning to chose, I picked the first one : not a parody = a manga.
- Doujin : also called Parody. Now, that means a manga drawn to imitate something already known, like a TV serie, or another manga (for instance Gundam). In the origin, that meant a non-professional, non-commercial work.
- Anime : a video japanese cartoon (hentai or not). For instance, Card Captor Sakura can be seen in manga (paper comic books) and as an anime TV (cartoon).
- CG, Computer Graphics : most hentai works are drawn by hand, or mainly rely on hand work, even if photoshop helps. But the japanese are fond of hentai games, with totally computer-made pictures. Those hentai computer-generated pictures are ripped off the games to become CG pictures.
- Ecchi (letter H pronounced in japanese) : softcore hentai content. Also refers to “in a sexual mood” : «you’re so H»
- Yaoi : gay hentai content, softcore or not.
- Yuri : female homosexual content, softcore or not.
- Futanari : girls with a dick, also called dickgirls, “DG“. That is rather popular in japanese comics, it seems many readers find that exciting. Definitely not my cup of tea, personally. I’d recommend you read that discussion about “real” dickgirls, that’s interesting !
- L, Loli, Lolicon : underage girls in hentai relations. The japanese seem to be immune to some taboos, and interest in underage girls seems to be one of those. If you don’t mind, i’m going to puke.
- BB, Big Breast : what makes great hentai
- Bakunyuu : japanese word for hentai with BIG tits, cf above
- Censorship : Until this decade, japanese law prohibited showing human hair and female sexual parts. This is why the hentai mangas are so different from western porn comics, the drawers were forced to learn how to make a drawing attractive and exciting without revealing a wide open vagina, a giant dick or even a pubis. That is why female hentai girls can be so exciting even with half of their clothes on, their body is beautifully drawn, their position is exciting, the art of suggestion and to place the reader in the fucker’s position is perfectly managed.
Now, I don’t know if the law still exists, but nobody respects it anymore in hentai mangas, even if it’s still respected in most hentai animes.
- Tent, tentacles : the abreviation I hate most. When you can’t represent a dick, you are allowed to represent tentacles. Japanese legislators can’t think of everything, can they ?
- OL, Office Lady : Japanese women who work in company offices wear very strict clothes, sometimes a company uniform or else “business clothes”, not very sexy but always rather fitting, with stockings. 90% of japanese men dream of ripping apart these clothes before proceeding to the next step. 0.x% of men will finally do that, but their consolation is groping the asses of the OLs in the overpopulated trains and metros (more info). OLs are reputated for not daring defend themselves, and suffer humiliation in silence. Why doesn’t it work like that in Europe or America ?
- Incest : the most successful theme EVER in hentai. The stats don’t lie, every of my posts with “incest” in the title will be watched 6 times mores, and archives for those posts will be downloaded four times more than the rest of my uploads.
I don’t know what makes people love this theme, since I don’t feel interest for this myself, I can only make some simple observations and suppositions. About mother incest, 90% of the mothers in incest mangas make the first step and almost push their boys into doing it. About sister incest, 90% of the sisters are depicted as almost braindead stupid chicks devoured by a desire their lack of brains don’t allow them to satisfy correctly.
Fill in the gaps, that adresses the two main problems for the average internet-using teenager, japanese or occidental : lack of experience and difficulty to find a girl willing to have sexual relations with a good for nothing nerd sitting before his screen instead of having social relations.
- Guro : not all hentai is beautiful and sane. There are freaks who will enjoy seeing torn bodies, extreme sadistic behaviour, blood, internal organs that shouldn’t have been exposed to the outside. That is “guro”, not anything related to grotesque, even if that’s the origin of the word. You want an example ? “Killer Panda” is a manga in which a panda-monster kills women, dismembers their bodies and rapes the body parts. Ew.
- Scenario : atomic physicians desperately try to find if photons have a mass or not. Hentai readers are roughly in the same questioning position when they read translated hentai works, only they don’t care about quantum physics but about the existence of a real scenario behind the fuck scenes.
You will sometimes find a real scenario, nothing is impossible. You will even find sometimes a scenario in an incest-based hentai manga : really, nothing is impossible.
- Rape (hentai rape) : this is when a girl makes her best to hide she totally enjoys being fucked without permission. Please, do NOT make the confusion with real life rape, in which an asshole deserving ablation of the balls destroys the life and psyche of a woman in exchange of a 5 seconds long orgasm : hentai rape only exists in hentai comics and videos.
The artist Black Dog is a specialist of hentai rape, for instance.
You might want even more information here or there.
Useful Information :
To find more works about a subject ("Dragon Ball" for instance), use the search field in the upper-right corner of the page. When I share enough works by a good artist I create redirection pages with links to all his shared works.
A problem to play videos, or questions like "how to download the zips" or "why does it ask a password, you said there isn't one" ? Read the Help & information page :)
Most elemental rule : if a download fails once, that can happen : try again ! ;-)
You are welcome to share the links to my uploads - I didn't draw the hentai myself anyway - but please, NOT a word-to-word carbon copy, and give my link with it too...14 Responses to ' Glossary and explanation of the words '

Killer Panda is really on the light side guro wise actually, from what I saw. I only skimmed a bit at the beginning, because there was a random panda, and hey, fountains of blood! Honestly, I was more traumatized watching Elfen Lied. On the other hand, I didn’t bother getting to the Panda fucking the corpses.
Guro isn’t my thing, but it certainly is hypocritical to condemn people as freaks because they like Guro if you enjoy something like, say, “Hentai Rape.” Just as there’s no problem as long as we’re all coherent enough to not actually consider hentai rape the reality of the world, so too is it fine if people like guro-as long as they don’t go out killing people and having sex with their corpses. It’s like the people who like loli or something, but then decide that furry lovers are the lowest form of human existence. It’s ridiculous.

You seem pretty confused yourself about real life rape. But it’s not your fault, the myth of the systematic destruction of the life and psyche of the victim is much more prevalent and widespread than the one about their secret enjoyment. It’s a social necessity.
Rape itself is not a sufficient help to maintain women’s oppression in non-religious societies. In france, there’s “only” one women in ten who has been sexually assaulted. And generally, the assault hurts not enough, as often the asshole don’t bother to kill or torture the victim.
And oppression doesn’t need usual victims of usual aggressions. It needs absolute victims. An usual victim is allowed and encouraged to change its condition : justice is done and the victim disappears. That is not oppression.
So there is a need to separate the social meaning of rape from its individual realisation. There is a need for a myth. The sexual aggression of sexually dominant human (a man) on a sexually dominated human (a woman or a child) can’t be escaped. By time first : as for murder (but that depends of another oppression system), the “life and psyche” of the victims are expected to be utterly destroyed. By physical means also : many rapes are perpetrated without any resistance from the women, not because they couldn’t, but because they didn’t even thought of it.
This means the myth is not just a idea : it has consequences on the reactions of implied people. The judges and juries, and all those people (family, close friends also…) from which the victim expects support apply always too often the reverse of their theorem : “if she isn’t destroyed by what happened, she must have been somehow consenting” (and then “she must be a slut” / “she deserved all that”). Many of the rape victims who are still sane and living a normal life (yes, they exist), there is a real shame for being strong enough to cope with it, and with the shame of the sexual abuse itself, it is the reason of the silence that cover most of the aggressions.
Women are natural-born victims the men have to “protect” or unsubmissive sluts who have to be silent about their insolent sanity. That is oppression. And that is the relief of many an asshole (rapists in a case and judges in the other).
Oh, and I rarely speak english, sorry if i was not clear enough.

In February 2007, Senator John McCain introduced S.519, which would add a mandatory 10-year prison sentence to anyone who uses the Internet to view lolicon. luckily this was deemed unconstitutional by the sup-court and S.519 was removed !

Lol I love your description of incest theme. And then right after that I look at my “folder” and true enough, 80% of stuffs in there is incest theme -_- O.o 10% is Loli and the other 10% is just random here and there ._.

Various replies
- Mosangse : It is relatively easy to find. Google search terms like “Killer Panda” associated with the name of a popular zip host. For instance, search :
“killer panda” rapidshare
“killer panda” megarotic
“killer panda” rapidshare zip
And I’m sure you will find easily - alas
- The Dude : everyone in my country is pro-Obama, woot, let’s hope Mc Cain doesn’t make it to Presidency ¬_¬

Good glossary, minus the words of contempt you seem to have towards people who are fans of some of the terms.
I don’t really like a good deal of the stuff that was listed either, but a hentai site is really the last place I expected to find someone griping about how pathetic or freakish the fans of their disliked genres are.
So the glossary is cool, but the personal input was pretty offsetting so be honest. If I open up a dictionary and look up the word “Sushi”, I just want a definition. I really don’t care about what the writer thinks about sushi. Especially if it’s something like “It’s raw fish, what freak would eat this?”, which is really how some of the statements in the glossary came off.

Well, Ghost, we are not in a dictionary but on a blog, a personal homepage where freedom of speech is the rule. For instance, I consider that someone masturbating to dismembered women is a freak, I stick to my opinion and, given we’re on my blog, I’ll write it as much as I want.
That is the great advantage of the internet, if you don’t like something, nothing forces you to read or view it, you can move on.
If you don’t like this glossary, don’t waste your time and forget it, simply

Fair enough.
Just found it odd to see that here, since a hentai site is where you’d expect to find a large amount of people who are into those kinds of fetishes. In fact, it’s odd to hear names like “freak” and whatever here, since many people would say the same thing about any of us just for looking at hentai in the first place.
Although I agree that it’s definitely weird for someone to jack it to dismemberment (and a lot of the other fetishes for that matter), I don’t harbor any resentment towards them.
Just as long as they’re not trying to bring their fetishes to life…
