This seems like something you should get proactive about and find out for yourself... You might find yourself in jail by the time someone who knows Hong Kong's legal system pops up.

Pursuant to the Control of Obscene and Indecent Articles Ordinance (Cap 390), it is an offense to publish an obscene article. Publication covers distribution, circulation, selling, hiring, giving, or lending the obscene article. Distribution by e-mail falls within the definition of distribution, as does the placing of an obscene article on a website. Distribution does not require any element of financial gain. The definition includes "anything consisting of or containing material to be read or looked at or both read and looked at, any sound recording, and any film, video-tape, disc, or other record of a picture or pictures". An article will be considered obscene if, by reason by its obscenity, "it is not suitable to be published to any person". Obscenity includes "violence, depravity, and repulsiveness". The penalty for this offense is up to three years imprisonment and a fine of up to HK$1,000,000.It is an offense to possess, produce, copy, import, or export pornography involving a child under 18 years of age, or to publish or cause to be published any advertisement that conveys or is likely to be understood as conveying the message that any person has published, publishes, or intends to publish any child pornography. The penalty for creation, publication, or advertisement of child pornography is eight years’ imprisonment, while possession carries a penalty of five years’ imprisonment.
So porn is okay if it doesn't include violence, rape, etc. and "legal age" stuffs. But proxy just to be safe.ɿ(。・ɜ・)ɾ

One would assume the same applies to Hentai, if Hentai isn't mentioned. It is a form of pornography after all. But that's just a guess.
