Do you still believe what the author says? At first, she claimed she wanted to create a challenging new type of manga by blending "rom-com" with "NTR" to get readers excited ... but just look at what the readers actually got after three years... Where is the rom-com element?

Have you ever seen a rom-com scene between Shinobu and Sakura like the ones you find in other romantic comedy series?

If anyone ever thought the NTR genre couldn't be blended with romantic comedy, you might want to think again. I was recommended an NTR romcom manga and it combines these two genres perfectly! Kudos to the author for creating such a fantastic work. The manga is titled "Futei no Olympia". it’s a truly engaging read.

"Grapara" has numerous plot holes that offered the author opportunities to cleverly fix or fill them, yet we have never seen any "clever" solutions from the author at all.
I want to reiterate that this concept was actually the editor, EditorS' idea. He approached Kataura ai with this concept and it is his first editing job for manga. Im not sure if he or she is to blame more. Probably equal at this point.

Thinking about it, the childhood friend's reaction here is totally justified this chapter.

She wanted Shinobu's attention and even almost got NTR'd for it. Only to lose against Sakura.

Then Sakura just leaves him. She's definitely in "WHAT. THE FUCK." mode.
We'll get a better idea of what's getting fixed and how with 132, pretty much done all the guesswork we can with this chapter atp. But I agree that there is just way too many things wrong to leave it as is. Even if you're the worst author editor pairing in existence the answers to problems left aren't hard to see

Fair enough but Sakura is the one who left. The next chapter will be the start of shinobu get over her or showing us wether or not Sakura has moved on from shinobu I hope.

I mean there is still a possibility to walk back chapter 129, it would be dumb though. They can make it so it didnt actually happen and she stopped fuckboi. Everything is kind of in Shinobu's head. I dont think this is going to happen but it a way "out", that where she could get Sakura and Shinobu together.

Thats why her being pissed off is justifiable lol. All that shit she went through and she lost to Sakura who eventually left the guy!

How do we know it was the editor s idea I was just going off something someone said on the jp comments.

Katsura Airi ruled that out herself on X

but they'd have to switch the chapter numbers, no? chapter 130 should be 129, and chapter 129 should be 130. I don't know if that makes sense.

Honestly I don't see how she can back track 129 at this point. I don't think she plans to either in that regard.

The only way I can see it is if she changes it to 128.5 and put a "if she didn't stop Yuma" at the top of it.

But that one panel in this chapter completely destroys any chance. Plus she said she didn't plan to redraw it but that fans can redraw it themselves and submit it.

If I recall right, didn't Airi say that the editor came up with the chapter name for 129 and that she liked it?

Also Tsugumomo the author himself stated he wanted the FMC to get sold into slavery and gangbanged in the slave arc but the author said the editor stopped him. He was talking about it on one of his drawing livestreams
