FUCKING THANK YOUUUU!! I literally have not heard anyone else talking about this and it has been driving me crazy. Even though the art is beautiful and the story is well written the entire thing feels SO fetishizing and creepy. These girls are YOUNG, they're like 12-14 and it feels weird because the manga is just panels and panels of weird angles and shots of their feet, their butts, their legs, in their school bathing suit, super short at-home clothes or in their straight up underwear.
In the first 2 chapters alone look at how much it happened (and these are just SOME of the moments and not even all of them)

NEVER seen Hiro drawing hentai. Suggestive, yes but never seen him drawing porn. Not here , or Mangadex, or pixiv. Nowhere. There is no porn on his official site either. The "other works" mangago shows are not his: Mangago links him to every other artist that has "Hiro" in their names. So, stop spreading misonformation.
This!, And not just that but it's actually quite common for a lot of mangaka to use completely different pen names when they publish a NSWF/yaoi/hentai manga that is different and separate from their main work. If you do a quick google search you can even find famous shounen/shoujo/seinen mangaka who have written hentai/hentai doujinshis under completely different names.
Yumekuri as you said is suggestive, not hentai. And you can see several of his untranslated works in his official page and at pixiv. None are hentai. As I said: Suggestive, not porn. Hell, you can even search him at porn sites like Rule 34 and Gelbooru and the worst you'll find are girls in bikinis at a beach. But not even one sex scene.
It’s under hentai and ecchi genres, idk what to tell you, those were for the gaze of men and printed in magazines that predominantly print hentai, ecchi, and even lolicon shit, is this suggestive shit not enough to raise alarm bells now???? What do you mean just “suggestive”? You have to think about why the fuck this grown man is so doggedly into portraying girls in such ways, how long will he get your benefit of doubt for?? And why????? An adult man worshipping the bodies of grown women is one thing, whatever the fuck is happening here is another, and he gets away with it because he is a skilled artist and this is under the yuri tag
No... Eechi is something, hentai is other. Hentai is S#X And P#RN. Yumekuri has neither. Don't try to pretend there is no difference. And don't lie. Yumekuri is not under the hentai genre. No site is listing it as hentai. No mangago, nor mangadex, no anywhere else.
Now... We are not discussing If it "raises alarms" or If it is bad or not. We are discussing If Hiro DRAWS HENTAI like OP said. And so far I saw nothing that proves this claim right nor anyone provided the evidence that is true. Show me his explicit works to support your claims.
Why tf do you want to see that shit so bad, I don’t have it and I’m not going to go searching for it for fuck’s sake. That shit hasn’t been translated (thank god) and that’s exactly the reason why you won’t find it on mangago or mangadex. If that was the extent of your research then your shit at it, search him up as an author and an artist or find websites that carefully archive the work of manga artists and authors, these are websites that carefully list author’s and artist’s work, its genres, and where it was published, and even their aliases. You can see his atrocious body of work there. And yes, we were originally discussing that it is bad and that this guy is a fucking creep. I don't know why you think he’s somehow found some loophole to not being a massive disgusting creep by only making his art “suggestive” about girls, specifically GIRLS not women, but he’s actually crossed all the lines even. And he doesn’t have to have drawn more crazy and gross shit (which he has) to be a massive disgusting piece of shit.
So, you can't give me the proof of your claims... Got it. And as I said: What I want is for you to to give me evidences and so far you only gave me your words. And It seems you can't read. I was very clear, that I searched his OFFICIAL PAGE. With his UNTRANSLATED WORKS and found NO HENTAI. Same thing with his Pixiv page. NOTHING. After this argument started, I searched him as an author in Gelbooru and Rule 34. Two hentai sites. NOTHING. I went to the official japanese site where there is the Akebi's raws and clicked in his name to see his untranslated works. NOTHING. Hitomi.la. NOTHING. N-hentai. NOTHING. You can get emotional all you want about this, but out discussion is If he draws HENTAI. And you are the one who is shit on proving your point. Your words alone have no value. Só I'll say again. Stop spreading misinformation. Prove to me he draws hentai If you can.
Are you serious right now? Both of those are from different artists with different art styles and neither resemble Hiro's in the slightest. Hell, even the kanji name on both is different than the one Hiro uses in his official page for his works. Let me tell you what you did. You searched for a porn artist with the same name as him. It wasn't hard... There is 7k works for "Hiro" without kanji in nhentai. Then you got the one you'll thought would look the closest like his art and copy pasted it. And anyone can see that's not the Akebi Hiro. The art is absolutely different. You want to know why you did that? Because you searched and couldn't find anything, could you?.Then you got desperate because you had nothing to show. Try harder next time.
No you fucker I didn’t search for anything explicit like you did, you seem real comfortable going to these sites, I went to mangaupdates. I hope you’re on a list somewhere and I hope this author is too. And you just said some bullshit, you didn’t give me any proof, one of these works is super old and if you’re saying artists don’t evolve then you’re wrong. Also it could be an alias. I’m done with this bullshit, I sincerely don’t know what kind of “proof” you’re going to send but I don’t want it.
Oh, cool. You mean the same mangaupdates that puts together every artist named Hiro together? Lasy research, at best. When I searched for Hiro using his JAPANESE KANJI at mangaupdates know what I didn't find? Any h*ntai work! Not satisfied? Fine... I went to the official raw site, you know the OFFICIAL JAPANESE SITE WHERE AKEBI IS PUBLISHED? With UNTRANSLATED RAW MANGAS? Yep, no h*ntai under his name there neither and there is p*nr from other artists there too. Just not his. HERE IS YOUR PROOF, MOTHERFUCKER. Now the burden of evidence must fall on the shoulders of those who believe. You believe Hiro draws p#rn? Then YOU HAVE TO PROVE IT TO ME. Also, you said that was his old art? Oh, I'll love to prove you wrong in this. Ochuusha Onedarikko is from 2007. Go to Dismaless and see Hiro's ART from the same period and then tell me its the same. Oh, and another thing? The Hiro of Ochuusha Onedariko has more recent works at hitomi.la... They are nothing like the art in Akebi. Here, proof, after proof, after proof. Do a proper research If you don't want to be proven this wrong next time.

i really like the art style but the way the author is obsessed with subtly and not so subtly sexualizing the characters the middle school characters weirds me out which is why i dropped the anime but i saw someone say that the main character gets into a relationship with a girl and wanted to see for myself and it's nice to see it develop into yuri like i said the artstyle is nice if you ignore the word detailed moments especially when they clearly focus on butts
