Reference, not advice
Hentai.biz is a reference site about the language, history, and visual culture of manga and anime. Articles describe terminology, historical context, genres, character archetypes, industry practice, and culture. They are written in an encyclopedic register and aimed at a general audience.
Nothing on this site constitutes legal, medical, psychological, financial, or other professional advice. Articles should not be treated as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your particular situation.
Sensitive topic areas
Some articles touch on topics where the difference between general background and personalized advice matters:
- Legal topics - censorship law, obscenity statutes, intellectual property, age restrictions, and similar subjects. Laws differ by jurisdiction and change over time. For your own situation, consult a licensed lawyer in your jurisdiction.
- Health and psychology - articles touching on compulsive behavior, fandom psychology, or the effects of media consumption are descriptive only. If you are concerned about your own behavior or wellbeing, contact a qualified clinician or a recognized support service in your country.
- Industry economics - market data and industry observations are general overviews. They are not investment advice, business advice, or due diligence.
Accuracy and updates
We aim to keep articles accurate and to update them when something changes. Despite that, the field is large and moves quickly. There may be errors, gaps, or details that are out of date. If you spot one, write to contact@hentai.biz.
Where an article cites figures, dates, or statements attributed to specific institutions, those reflect publicly available information that we believed accurate when the article was reviewed. Verify time-sensitive details against the original source before relying on them.
External links
The site links to journals, libraries, museums, archives, and similar external resources. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, advertising, or privacy practices. Following an external link is your decision.
Trademarks and creators
Names of works, characters, publishers, studios, and creators mentioned on this site belong to their respective owners. Discussion is descriptive and educational. Nothing on this site implies endorsement by, or affiliation with, any rights holder, publisher, studio, or platform.
No promotion
The site describes genres and works; it does not encourage their consumption, creation, or distribution. Whether and how to engage with any specific work is for you to decide, in line with the laws and norms that apply where you are.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, the site and the people who maintain it are not liable for any decision you make in reliance on an article. The full liability language is in the terms.
