About the Rating

We at Orange have developed the following Rating System to assist parents, consumers, and Manga fans in making informed decisions when selecting a manga title and assessing its suitability for young readers. Please use these ratings as a reference when choosing an appropriate title.

Ratings are determined based on the level and prevalence of graphic and thematic elements in the series, including violence, nudity, sexual content, profanity, and references to alcohol, tobacco, or drug abuse. We also consider sensitive themes such as bullying, abuse, self-harm, or terrorism that may be present in the title.

Please note that these ratings are based on our subjective evaluation and they are meant for general guidance only.

Please note that, the ratings are based on our internal and subjective evaluation and we cannot guarantee uniform application. Furthermore, series may be periodically reviewed against our content rules, which may lead to updates in previously assigned ratings or, in rare cases, discontinuation of a series. The rating should not be considered the equivalent of any regulatory standard.
