Hentai is the Japanese word that means ‘sexually perverse’ when applied to any materials or publications that have a sexual tone. Since the late 1970’s (when modern Japanese comics were born), the most popular forms of Japanese publications have been mangas (comics) and anime (cartoons). For over thirty years for anyone who was a fan of this uniquely Japanese art form to be able to get copies of these materials was to either go to Japan or find them in ‘specialty bookstores’ at a high cost. With the growth of the internet as a source of information and materials, this is no longer true. Now these materials can be readily obtained from a series of Picture hentai forms.
There are several ways that Japanese hentai can be located on the internet. The most common method is through ‘pay of play’ websites that charge a membership fee to enter the site with a password and then be allowed to view and download hentai material. There are also a few ‘free’ sites that also allow their ‘members’ the same privileges without a charge. A new source has developed over the past few years known as the forum.
