This term refers to a specific type of media featuring themes of childhood games, particularly tag (onigokko), within a fantastical or fairytale (otogibanashi) setting, presented without censorship. The genre often includes mature or explicit content, diverging significantly from traditional depictions of children’s stories and games.
The appeal of this niche likely stems from a combination of factors: the juxtaposition of innocence and explicit content, the subversion of familiar narratives, and the potential for exploring darker or more adult themes within a seemingly harmless framework. Its historical context is rooted in the broader trend of adult interpretations and parodies of classic fairytales, combined with the increased accessibility of uncensored content online.
