Behind the utilitarian layout on TokyoTosho.info (Tokyo Toshokan) hides a porn torrent site with an extensive database that focuses on content from Japan, both adult and non-adult. Many of the torrents are collected from outside sources and similar sites, while the rest are uploaded directly.

It sounds more impressive to say it that way, so for your information, TokyoTosho is more than 6,000 days old or has a registration date of 2006.

#2. First Impressions

With its simplistic design, TokyoTosho looks like a torrent site that hasn’t finished loading. You know, when you get nothing but text and white background, no graphic elements or fancy logos. Simplicity is a key to Tokyo Toshokan’s speedy loads and just like opening Notepad on your Windows PC, connection speeds don’t matter that much.

But perhaps for this reason, some of first time TokyoTosho users will leave it immediately because while light UI is admirable, it’s sort of confusing. You need more elements to distinguish between files and then it all looks a bit messy. In fact, my first time at TokyoTosho was just like that. It loaded, I stared at it for a few minutes and left for paid alternatives. It’s as if someone taught me a physics lesson and I had no clue what to do nor understood anything.

That’s the Achilles heel of Tokyo Toshokan and again, it feels so cluttered for reasons that cannot be explained. There’s too much text, but then again, it wouldn’t appear that way if menus had icons or some visual stimulation.

#3. Torrents & User Experience

The complete list of TokyoTosho categories includes hentai anime, manga, and games, followed by JAV porn, as well as anime, non-English manga, drama (anime), music and music video, and raw videos. Lastly, there's a category for batches or sets of content, besides an "other" section. As far as we can tell, there are thousands of torrents on Tokyo Tosho, and plenty of seeders, so download speeds are good for the most part, and you'll come across lots of high-quality content in HD and Full HD.

English speakers might have a problem with some torrents that have Japanese titles, especially because you don't really get a description for the content here. Luckily there's a link under "website" to a screenshot or cover, but then again, a lot of these links have tons of ads and give you the run-around.

The layout on TokyoTosho is very plain and clean, but easy to use. To find torrents, you can browse categories, check out top searches, or use the basic search feature with filters for name, comment, size, submitter, and category. The site also offers customization options that let you pick which categories are shown on the front page, how to display new torrents, date format, theme, etc. What we don't like is that you cannot sort torrents based on seeders, leechers or comments. Instead, you always get results in chronological order.

If you feel adventurous or have something legal to share, there’s a new torrent submission form, which doesn’t require registration. That’s pretty neat, considering that every torrent site or any network, in general, asks for as much detail as possible. Porn veterans have an option to login, but then again, it’s not a requirement.

#4. Conclusion

TokyoTosho.info is a stripped down but very functional porn torrent site that has lots of various Japanese content, both adult and non-adult for download. Still, the torrents could do with more info and descriptions to help you decide what to download.
