| I'm talking about genres in the side section of information for the series on its main page. I noticed this early on, before the series even started and the season began, but didn't comment on it. Even after the series started and several weeks and episodes passed, I still didn't comment as I figured it was due to being an anime original series. Sometimes this occurs with those. But I think this is the first time on MAL I've seen a series start and end, airing in its entirety, without having even a single genre listed for it even after it's over. Folks who rely on genres to give them a basic general impression of what they can, in part, expect from a show in terms of focus and tone really will be done a disservice in the future, beyond those who already have been, when visiting the series' page devoid of this important information, unless and until it's rectified. |

The "Adult Cast" tag is already there and is classified as a theme. I agree that Drama should be the main genre tag (also Slice of Life I would say, but that won't happen since MAL started imposing some rather arbitrary and controversial rules around what could or could not be listed as a Slice of Life), but the problem is that currently it doesn't even the Drama tag. |

I’d say it’s a slice of life too but it’s not your typical slice of life, it’s more like “A Place Further Than The Universe” which you could consider to be a slice of life but that’s not it’s classification. |

| @CielIsAWeeb Slice of Life could have fit perfectly, not sure why it is not listed as such. As for Adult Cast, Ayukawa was a high school student so not all characters were adults :D |
