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.
