- T – Teens, Age 13+
The manga rating equivalent of a PG-13, T – Teen indicates that the comic's content may include some sexual innuendo and/or violent action scenes. Teen titles (just like Youth titles) should be carefully reviewed by parents to ensure that their child is mature enough for the material.
- OT – Older Teens, Age 16+
OT – Older Teen rated manga may contain more explicit sexual situations and some violent scenes, including blood and gore. Manga is known for its graphic and violent tales, parents are encouraged to review these titles before giving them to teens. These are the equivalent of an "NC-17" or "R" rating.
- M – Mature, Age 18+
Manga rated M – Mature is strictly for adults. You can expect to find explicit sexual situations, strong language, and/or bloody battles and mayhem. This rating is equivalent to NC-17 or R. Parents are strongly advised not to give these titles to children due to their very graphic content.
