Summary
The goal of the Yen Press rating system is to provide parents, librarians, and retailers with as much
information about the contents of our books as simply and concisely as possible. Ultimately, opinions
about appropriateness of content for a particular reader are a subjective matter and likely to vary from
person to person. However, this is a useful tool to give readers some sense of what they may expect.
Yen’s ratings are structured in two tiers: age ratings (A, T, OT, M) and content indicators (L, V, S, N).
Age ratings indicate a maturity threshold below which some parents or guardians may find the content
unsuitable. Content indicators provide insight as to the material within the book that prompted a
particular age rating. The frequency and/or severity of that material is reflected in the age rating.
AGE RATINGS
All Readers
An “A” rating indicates that the material contained within the book has been deemed unlikely to
be found inappropriate for any particular age group.
Teen
A “T” rating indicates that there may be content within a book that some parents or guardians
may consider inappropriate for children under the age of 13.
Older Teen
An “OT” rated book contains material that some parents or guardians may consider
inappropriate for readers under the age of 16.
Mature
An “M” rated book is intended for a mature readership and may be considered inappropriate for
readers under the age of 18.
