The term NTR stands for Netorare, a genre mostly found in hentai (adult anime) and manga. The core concept revolves around infidelity and betrayal, where a character’s significant other is seduced or stolen by someone else, often resulting in emotional turmoil for the person being cheated on.
In Netorare, the focus is typically on the cheater’s new relationship rather than the betrayed partner. It frequently ends with feelings of sadness, regret, or anger rather than a happy resolution. The genre taps into themes of jealousy, dominance, and emotional distress, making it controversial for some viewers.
NTR can also have variations, like Netori, where the protagonist is the one stealing someone else’s partner, and Netorase, where the cheating happens with the partner’s consent.
The genre can be polarizing—some find it engaging due to its emotional intensity, while others are put off by the themes of betrayal and emotional pain.
