When blogging about titles like Confidential Confessions or Life, and you talk about the issue of cutting or another mature themes, is it appropriate to click the adult content checkbox next to your entry? Or is the adult content checkbox more for hentai/hardcore yaoi discussions? I was just unclear about this, as I was afraid that clicking the adult content box would turn away many readers, when all the blog contained was a serious discussion of the issues presented in an emotional and deep manga. Thanks!

Is it unsuitable for children to be reading? It's only adult if it might upset folk imho.

I'm not sure Aratos to be honest. I think discussing issues like cutting or abuse are certainly mature topics, but the way in which the subject is handled also comes into play as well. I know of other bloggers who would like to blog about these serious issues brought up in manga, and the appropriateness of labels for them so the most can enjoy and participate in the discussions as possible.

I'd go for just sticking at disclaimer at the start of the post, personally.

Then again, I'm not the sort of person that's likely to know the best way to approach mature subjects. I love making jokes about everything unfortunately.
