The josei line of Eternity books are notable for its label system which indicates the amount of adult content in the novel. A red logo indicates lots of sexual content, while a rose colored logo indicates mild sexual content and a white logo means there's no sexual content within the book. Most of the titles above have a red logo on the cover.
