That's odd... usually the age rating and censoring ignores the actual content and concentrates solely on the "levels" of violence and sexuality, maybe also checking for swear words, but not giving a damn whether the story is "too high" for young people.

The Sword of Truth series, in my opinion, would also fall under a similar category as that manga you mentioned (I think).

While the violence is quite heavy in some places what really makes the story 18+ material are the concepts used.

Like "mercy to the perpetrator is betrayal to the victim" being a common theme in there. While I think this holds true to a certain degree, it is something that needs to be tempered with wisdome and restraint or it could easily lead to fanatism and people thinking they have to take justice into their own hands. Particularly since the books make some very convincing arguments for this concept that could easily end up swaing young and malleable minds to something they're not ready for.

Not exactly something I'd want to expose my children to too early.
