Is there particular reason this manga is not allowed? I read some of the chapters elsewhere and I don't seem to get how it's 'not allowed'. I read various ecchi manga on this site and it's contents are more sexually exposed than this. Is it because of the female character age?

( Scrath that. I just read the guidelines after posting this. Though this is not really heavily on sexual displayed unlike other ecchi mangas here)

So tell me.

Why is it not displayed?

there's actually a quality assurance thread for this sort of thing that'll probably get a quicker answer than here in the comic's section

I went ahead and made a post for this title there, I'm sure one of the staff will add something more specific to its description soon enough

 

it looks like it'd be pretty obvious it's about mature (sexual) content to me,, expecially if there's a question about a character's age, if you're curious...........

 

Spoiler

 

And as far as the restriction of what is too mature for Batoto? Perhaps I can clarify the restrictions a bit more.

    • penetration of any part of the human body with a penis, including mouth, anus, or vagina, and
    • contact between a vagina and another vagina.
  • Effect of censorship. It shall not matter whether any part of the genitalia are censored.

  • Effect of censorship. It shall not matter whether any part of the genitalia are censored.
• Parents.

    • any adoptive parent,
    • any legal guardian in a mentorship role.
  • Construction. For the purposes of these guidelines, parents shall be assumed to be strict and conservative in moral, religious, and social outlook.

Guidelines

• Is genitalia shown (e.g., penis or vagina)?
• Are children being exploited?
• Are children involved in sexual conduct of any nature?
• Is there sexual intercourse?
• Are there explicit sex scenes (i.e., very little or nothing at all is left to the imagination)?
• Are there excessive sex scenes (i.e., every chapter has a sex scene, or most chapters focus on sexual acts)?
• Does the comic possess redeeming qualities beyond the sexual content (i.e., is it merely fapping material, or does it have an actual storyline and plot)?
• Does the sexual content enrich the storyline, or is it simply for pornographic purposes?
• Do you think that you would be grounded for life, and/or killed by your parents, if you were caught showing this to your 12 to 15-year-old sibling?

If any combination of these questions are a concern in the comic, it is most likely not suitable for Batoto.

Of course, this is just a general outline of some questions you may want to ask yourself when uploading comics. The best bet is to use your common sense and think of the comic as a whole, not just the chapter you are currently uploading. After all, some comics start out vanilla and then take a dive for the perverse later on in the story.

 
Please be aware, that the word 'appropriate' as it is used here always refers to the content of a comic only. Even if the content is judged to be appropriate there may still be reasons why it can't be hosted on Batoto.
