Taimanin is a media franchise by LILITH . Originally starting as an eroge visual novel series, over time Taimanin has grown to include hentai OVA and live action JAV adaptations of the source material.[1] While the main series is notorious for its extreme fetish content,[2] since the release of Action Taimanin the series has also started seeing success as all-ages intellectual property.
Story
[edit]In a fantasy version of modern Tokyo, the world of Taimanin is split between the Human World and the Demon World. The Taimanin are a group of highly skilled ninjas who are tasked with fighting demons and corrupt organizations to maintain peace. The story is originally centered on Asagi Igawa and her fight to defeat her archenemy Oboro after she kidnaps Asagi's fiancé.[3] The series has been called one of the most memorable eroge of the 2000s.[4]

So, the obvious question is, how will the US version handle the 18+ content? Simple: it won't, at least not on iOS or Android. According to the FAQ, there will be a version with the Adult content on Johren and Nutaku and worksafe versions on Steam, the App Store and Google Play. But only the Steam version can link up to Nutaku or Johren, letting you play the Nutaku/Johren version with whatever date you have on Steam. It seems complicated but also lets folks play the game in public.
