Lolicon (ロリコン) refers to content featuring young or young-appearing female characters. In doujinshi context, this tag indicates the presence of petite, youthful female characters. The term originates from 'Lolita complex' and is a significant demographic category in Japanese fan-made works. Content with this tag ranges from suggestive to explicit. It frequently appears alongside tags like 'small breasts,' 'defloration,' and 'schoolgirl uniform.' The tag is distinct from 'shotacon' which features young male characters.

Glasses (メガネ, megane) is a costume/accessory tag with a dedicated following in doujinshi. Characters wearing glasses — whether thin-framed, thick-rimmed, or sports glasses — appeal to a specific aesthetic preference. The tag covers all types of eyewear and is often associated with character archetypes like the 'meganekko' (glasses girl). Artists use glasses to add visual interest and character personality. The tag appears across all genres and frequently co-occurs with 'sole female,' 'big breasts,' and 'stockings.'

Shotacon (ショタコン) refers to content featuring young or young-appearing male characters. The term originates from 'Shotaro complex' (after the character Shotaro from Tetsujin 28-go). In doujinshi, this tag indicates the presence of youthful male characters in suggestive or explicit scenarios. Content ranges from innocent to explicit and is a significant demographic category. The tag is the male counterpart to 'lolicon' and often appears in yaoi (male-male) content or in heterosexual scenarios with older female partners.
