I don't need to describe waht I am seeing as pornography or actually take photos of the relevant reading materials, do I!

In the middle of a crowded train with full exposure.

Totally agree with naked or half naked women/girls as not being pornography, but no, the Japanese books I am describing, and I'm not sure if they are termed "etchy manga" as you quoted, or something else, is definitely pornography to my eyes. So much so, that when I vist my local Japanese restaurant a few times a week, we have to pull my son away from the bookshelves that adorn the walls with such reading material.
