Genre: supernatural

I don't think the supernatural genre tag is appropriate for a series that contains nothing supernatural/paranormal at all, even considering how vague the supernatural fiction definition is. There are human subspecies that look like mythological creatures, but those with wings can't even fly or anything, that's all. In episode 3 of the anime someone mentions a lttle girl's imaginary friend might be a spirit, but that's the only time something is left ambiguous.

In the manga there are aliens and some Antarctican sci-fi technology, so if anything, science fiction or speculative fiction would fit.

Edit: "supernatural" replaced with "science fiction". HiOshino (talk) 03:21, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In its press release announcing the NA release, Seven Seas called it and two other series a "trio of supernatural manga". It specifically named the series a "slice-of-life high school comedy".[1] Unless you have a more authoritative source, the existing genres must stand. BTW, calling it science fiction or science fantasy without citing a source is a violation of Wikipedia's No original research policy. —Farix (t | c) 21:49, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, you had to waste your time correcting my mistake. Nevertheless, my opinon on this special case: I am not very happy with using misleading (to say the least) information just because there is no better source available, but I understand the policy and the rationale behind it and will respect it. It's also irritating that editors are allowed to write summaries of plot, setting, characters, etc. largely unrestricted, but for the genre, which is basically a condensed plot/setting summary, we have to rely on some licensee's/publishing company's marketing person who probably never had any direct contact with the manga. And this being an issue that only affects little-known media doesn't help either. HiOshino (talk) 23:41, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
