Spoiler warning: This article discusses events from the completed web novel Tanetsuke Ojisan no Isekai Press Manyuuki and its manga adaptation, Harem King’s Otherworld Press Journey.
Reading this series eventually produces a strange question: is the law of this fantasy world broken, or has the reader’s common sense simply given up?
The underwear-theft arc is the perfect example. Genji treats underwear theft as genuinely despicable and investigates it seriously. Pinoko and Pearl respond with exactly the kind of suspicious stare that says, “You are the one saying this?” The joke works because the story itself knows how ridiculous the contrast is.
So the obvious reader question becomes:
Why does the underwear-stealing priest get punished while the Breeding Uncle keeps walking around as a hero?
From there, the discussion spirals through criminal justice, platform bans, manga adaptation choices, centaurs, ogres, otokonoko—and finally something that can only be described as “Domain Expansion: Imaginary Pregnancy.”
1. Underwear theft is evil; Genji is apparently a “light-side pervert”
Starting around web-novel chapter 94, Genji investigates underwear disappearing from a convent. He draws a firm moral line against the thief and even prepares a trap to catch the culprit.
The problem is that the investigator is Genji.
He is not a conventional morally clean protagonist. The official synopsis itself defines his operating system: help the weak, strike down the strong, and turn the women he likes into “mamas.” Within the story, being bizarre or sexually shameless is not automatically treated as evil. The sharper line is whether someone exploits, deceives, or harms people who cannot defend themselves.
That makes the internal logic surprisingly consistent. The thief violates other people for selfish gain. Genji behaves outrageously, but he is generally positioned on the side that rescues victims and defeats abusers.
It still looks absurd from the outside.
Priest: “Why am I the only one getting arrested!?”
The fantasy penal code almost feels as if its first rule is not “do not be a pervert,” but “do not have worse ethics than Genji.”
2. So theft can stay on stream, but breeding gets you banned?
The conversation became even funnier when compared with another story in which an S-rank-level hunter can broadcast violent “hunting” content without immediately disappearing from the platform.
This is a cross-series joke, not a canonical streaming system inside Tanetsuke Ojisan. But the comparison is useful. Violence or crime footage can sometimes be framed as news, investigation, dungeon combat, or documentation. Genji’s actual “profession,” shown directly, would be much harder to explain on a general-audience platform.
The imaginary moderation queue therefore looks like this:
- Hunter-on-hunter violence: continue with a warning.
- Underwear-theft case: review as crime-related content.
- Genji doing his main thing: that is literally the one part of your channel we cannot show.
A man who can stand against monsters and goddesses finally meets an unbeatable enemy: the community guidelines.
3. Not “cut from the livestream.” Cut from the manga adaptation
There was one important misunderstanding in the discussion itself.
When someone said that the centaur, the ogre, and the otokonoko parts were “cut,” it was initially misread as an in-world streaming service automatically censoring those scenes.
No.
The characters are not deleted. The point is that, in the manga adaptation, some of the web novel’s more fetish-specific breeding-related material is reduced or omitted.
This was a genuine “read the original novel” correction.
The distinction matters because the manga does retain these characters and story arcs. Baskwayda, the muscular ogre woman, is prominent enough to appear on the cover of volume 6. What stands out in a side-by-side reading is not that the manga rejects the characters themselves, but that some of the material most likely to make readers say “this fetish is definitely not for everyone” is handled more selectively.
There is no verified official statement explaining why those specific adaptation changes were made. Therefore, “they cut it because the fetish is too niche” should be treated as reader interpretation and comedy, not as an editor’s confirmed explanation.
4. Centaur, ogre, otokonoko: Genji’s range keeps expanding
The web novel leaves no doubt that all three directions exist.
Chapter 68 introduces Guinevere, a centaur chevalier, and Genji quickly starts placing her in his familiar “future mama” category. Chapter 70 introduces Eto, a fox-eared character explicitly identified as an otokonoko. Genji’s worldview does not stop there. Later, the ogre arc brings in Baskwayda, a large, muscular ogre woman who also falls inside his astonishingly broad range.
Put together, the escalation is obvious:
- Centaur: the nonhuman factor jumps dramatically.
- Ogre: size, muscle and monster-girl traits stack together.
- Otokonoko: Genji’s range crosses gender presentation as well.
A normal harem protagonist might simply be described as “not picky.”
Genji is starting to erase species and gender borders from the map.
That is why “this fetish chooses its audience” is such an effective summary. The characters can be funny and narratively useful while the full breeding gag may demand increasingly specialized tastes from manga readers.
Keep the character. Keep the plot. Close only the fetish checkpoint.
That is what the adaptation can look like from the reader’s side.
5. Then the web novel genuinely stages an awakening like a battle-manga ultimate move
The best proof that this series is more than a pile of sex jokes is chapter 53 and the Extra Skill called “Imaginary Pregnancy.”
Victoria and the goddesses exploit Genji’s core weakness: his power depends on libido and stamina. They amplify a psychological “turn-off” until he is nearly unable to fight. He cannot brute-force his way through it, so his thinking flips from external visual stimulation to imagination.
Then the scene uses the full grammar of a shonen awakening: shock wave, sparks, physical transformation, system notification, new skill.
The skill is, of course, Imaginary Pregnancy.
Structurally, it is completely serious battle manga. The hero is cornered. His weakness is exposed. Someone important is at stake. Existing abilities are useless. He reframes the problem and breaks through his limit.
And then the reward screen says “Imaginary Pregnancy.”
The tonal whiplash is incredible.
So as a reader nickname, this feels unavoidable:
Domain Expansion — Imaginary Pregnancy.
“Domain Expansion” is not an official term used by the novel. It is simply the comparison created by how excessively dramatic the awakening is relative to how ridiculous the skill name sounds.
6. The real final boss is not the Demon King. It is the publishing platform
The meta-joke becomes even better because the author has effectively confirmed that the work lives on a difficult publication boundary.
In a 2024 activity report on Shōsetsuka ni Narō, Kusamochi wrote that he had considered posting the series there too, but thought the normal site might simply ban it, while the work was not erotic enough to belong naturally on Nocturne Novels either.
That means Genji can push through monsters, species boundaries, goddesses and common sense inside the story, while the work itself exists in a real-world gap:
too dangerous for ordinary placement, but not purely erotic enough to be defined as adult erotica.
The conclusion writes itself.
The terms of service are stronger than the Demon King.
The editorial line is stronger than the goddess.
And Genji’s greatest feat may be that this concept somehow ran all the way to 518 completed web-novel chapters.
Conclusion: How did an underwear-theft case end at “Imaginary Pregnancy”?
The entire chain is beautifully unreasonable:
- The underwear-stealing priest is treated as an actual wrongdoer.
- Genji remains on the heroic side despite being Genji.
- That inspires the question of what a streaming platform would ban first.
- The manga/web-novel comparison highlights selective treatment of centaur, ogre and otokonoko breeding material—the parts where “this fetish is not for everyone” becomes very literal.
- The original novel shows that Genji’s range really does keep expanding.
- In battle, he unlocks Imaginary Pregnancy with the dramatic language of a shonen power-up.
- The author himself has said a normal Narō posting sounded ban-risky.
The conversation began with “what kind of legal system is this?” and somehow ended with “this protagonist is weaker to publishing rules than to a Demon King.”
Perhaps the cleanest description of the series is not “erotic” or “vulgar.”
It is an ability-battle story wearing a dirty-joke costume, performed at the edge of the terms of service.
Fact / interpretation boundary
- The completed 518-chapter web novel, Guinevere, Eto, Baskwayda, the chapter-53 skill Imaginary Pregnancy, and the underwear-theft arc are verified in the original web novel.
- The manga’s official title is Harem King’s Otherworld Press Journey: The Unrivaled Middle-Aged Man Marries Every Race; six volumes were confirmed at the time of checking.
- “The manga cut it because the fetish is too niche” is a reader interpretation, not a verified editorial statement.
- The streaming-platform BAN discussion is a cross-series conversation joke, not a rule from Tanetsuke Ojisan canon.
- “Domain Expansion: Imaginary Pregnancy” is also a reader comparison. The canonical skill name is Imaginary Pregnancy.
