i'm not really a big fan of school settings, though. (they're usually boring and predictable)

I didn't say that all of them were in schools, but most of the ones with teenagers are. And I should apologize because I was under the impression, after reading through the thread that the manga involved was with teenagers.
But I've read the article linked in the OP, and I've come to some conclusions:
- They only removed the digital versions

Amazon has removed several yaoi manga from its Kindle Store and refused to allow others to be offered for Kindle, although the bookseller continues to sell the same manga in print and to offer more explicit erotic books in both formats.

- The problem wasn't related to yaoi manga alone
Quote:
At least one non-yaoi erotic graphic novel has also been removed from the Kindle Store this week.
[...]
Lui said that he had noticed that a number of non-yaoi adult manga from other publishers that had been added in recent months has disappeared in the past few weeks.

- Age isn't a problem, and the works are rated

"I asked them why, and they said take a look at their content policy and directed me to what I had read a couple times before," he said. Lui said that he is not aware of any recent changes in the policy, and that DMP has been putting books rated for ages16+ and 18+ on the Kindle for the past few years with no problem. Digital does not publish any stories involving characters under 18, he added.

guidelines

What we deem offensive is probably about what you would expect.

Sorry again about posting without reading the article.
