There are as many fetishes in hentai manga as there are stars in the night sky, or nearly that much. The old internet adage, Rule 34, states that if it exists, there is adult content of it, and Rule 63 states that there will always be a genderswap version of a character, so people clearly take their adult manga seriously. To get a better idea of the most popular fetishes, we went to a popular hentai manga website, the one and only HMarket. Their site’s ‘Best Sellers’ list updates every 30 days, so this will provide some useful data to determine which fetishes are the most popular and in-demand on this very active website.
1. Large Breasts
This one was obvious, right? Despite the ongoing debates about ‘plot’ (big boobs) vs. ‘justice’ (flat boobs), big boobs are great, and talented artists can really make them move in the still images of a hentai manga.
The most popular entry is the ‘Large Breasts’ tag, and the top-ranking entry for that tag is THE NUDE BEACH FIELD TRIP!! by Shiwasu no Okina, a particularly long hentai manga that features a lucky guy on the beach surrounded by lovely ladies who are all eager to get wet and wild with him.
2. Futanari
Second place is taken by futanari, a theme whereby a girl can take on the role of a guy and be on the giving end without the use of a toy.
The most popular hentai manga with a well-endowed girl is Dickgirl, Meet Straight Girl + The First Date by Itami, featuring a story where a delinquent girl plays around too much and meets her match in the straight-laced student government girl with an imposing tool tucked in her panties.
3. Aggressive Sex
This one is pretty self-explanatory, it’s when two or more people really have sex, like they get into it entirely too much with no regard for straining themselves, or the effects of friction.
The featured entry for this theme is Pure Love Mellow by Jun, a lovey-dovey book with plenty of active action.
4. Prostitution
Prostitution is an act whereby a person has sex for money. It has both positive and negative connotations depending on what the reader wants, but action still happens regardless.
The girl selling her flowers for this theme comes from the hentai manga Flower Vendor by Erect Sawaru. A guy watches a flower girl from afar, pining after her. He notices that all of her customers are men, and when he discovers that she’s selling a lot more than plants, he begins to save up his money.
5. Femdom
Femdom describes a woman taking on a dominant role, and a man becoming subservient, either willingly or unwillingly. Most of the time it’s just the woman calling the shots in the relationship and things are fine, but other stories can get darker.
The leading lady of this tag takes her place in Muramata’s Secret by IGUMOX. A lucky young man discovers his senior’s secret, a split tongue, and rather than flee, he becomes intrigued as to how she could put such a thing to use.
6. Bondage
Bondage refers to the act of tying someone up for intimate purposes. It’s not always a forced act, of course.
The hentai manga that tied up the first spot in the tag is Seika Women’s Academy: Certified Comfort Man 5 by Kurosu Gatari, where one of the chapters features a pent-up woman who demands her needs be met by the man who neglected her for weeks.
7. Dark Skin
Dark skin, referring to gyaru, features girls with tans, that indicate a wild side to them. Gyaru came to be as a form of rebellion against those who declared that traditional beauty standards — girls with black hair, pale skin, and more conservative clothing — were best for all girls. Gyarus, of course, dress in the complete opposite manner, and life is better for it.
The most popular gyaru hentai manga is Kuro Gyaru Mommy by Shiawase na Choushoku, which features an older gyaru woman with a daughter hooking up with a single guy who can meet all of her needs.
8. Schoolgirl
A truly classic fetish, schoolgirls are just great. There’s a perceived innocence and purity in a schoolgirl outfit, and Japanese people find a sense of nostalgia for their own school days. Regardless, the common theme in these hentai manga shows girls wearing schoolgirl outfits.
The most popular entry in this fetish is Pet or Slave!! by O-USO, starring various schoolgirls in different lewd situations where they put their target boys under the heel (and stocking-clad feet). There’s plenty of femdom and bondage here, but with schoolgirls giving boys some very special lessons.
9. Demon Girl
A popular theme where the girl is not entirely human, often possessing wings, horns, a tail, and supernatural powers, all of which she puts to use for her partner, who may or may not be a willing participant.
The most popular entry for this tag is Sweet Seraph Love Mary: Unholy Conception by Satou Kuuki, starring a magical girl who becomes corrupted to become a demon girl. Other demon girls feature as well, who use their own abilities for lewd purposes.
10. Mecha
Robot girls are another classic trope, starring inhuman girls with human emotions, along with other such fun human features.
The most popular mecha hentai manga is a NieR: Automata doujin, featuring the most popular robot girl in the past few years, 2B. Titled 2B9SA2, featuring three different stories starring the androids 2B, 9S, and A2 in different lewd situations, where they act more and more human in the heat of passion.
