Hentai is a genre of Japanese manga and anime that contains explicit or adult content. The term "hentai" literally means "perverted" or "abnormal," but in the context of manga and anime, it refers to content that is sexually explicit or contains mature themes.

Written by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe, the manga balances gentle melancholy with grand, understated fantasy world-building.

Produced by MAPPA, the anime features choreography that is fast, brutal, and brilliantly scored.
