Yep, pretty much, and the numbers go against it.
Vol 9 announced 600K copies total, and Vol 11 announced 750K:
That's 150K over two vols (9 + 10), which isn't, like, ultra popular, but it's still a healthy number that no publisher would axe a series over, much less Kodansha lmao (yes, I'm still, once again, angry about ヤンキーJKの異常な愛情). Obviously, some of that could've come from older volumes continuing to sell, but those are usually the minority.

On top of that, this series loves to GLOAT every time it hits #1 on one of the digital big boys, which is exactly what they did with vol 12's Obi, which was all about how they hit #1 on the DMM daily manga ranking (on top of the live-action streaming + some collab thingie).

So at the very least, ranking highly on digital platforms seems to be important for this series.

BUT, bad blood between a publisher and a mangaka can take many forms, so you can never completely rule it out.
With all that success it makes it all the more odd she would rip the heart of the story right out of the manga.

Now if this was guilty circle I could believe the publisher told them to wrap it up since it's just repeating itself over and over again.

I still can't believe they let ヤンキーJKの異常な愛情 continue for so long, a manga that even had the few Japanese readers who stuck with it utterly confused
Oh man, i forgot about this garbage... But it's the perfect example how the author can switch the FMC when ever he wants and still continue the story like nothing happened.

On the other hand, NTR has crashed a few series as many have pointed out throughout these threads.
That's why I'm really curious about the direction of Grapara in regards to what will mean to the mangaka mainstream career.

Oh, by the way, check out the epilogue chapter of that other flustercuck called Koushiki Furin.
Contrary to my expectation the mangaka gave solid W's to Fumiya.
Can you write the details, just saw the raw...

Well what happens that's so bad worse than GraPara?!
I don't even remember the whole details, but it had a total retcon around ch30. The happy ending was MCs dream or something like that. Then he had a fight with FMC and she ended up marrying another guy, while the FMC switch happened and the new one is a pure rip off of the 1st FMC.

I know a lot of people think that a relationship with Fumi would be a good development, but for me she is the main cause of the misunderstanding and consequently, the breakup, yet she does little no nothing no clear it up. At least for me, she looks as bad as the other guy.
What surprised me was the "a few months later" and showing that Sakura has been getting it non stop. I expected the drama to start early on, but now their relationship looks unfixable. I just hope it does not go into the NTS, Cuck or similar and that Shinobu grows some balls.

Wait so the chick at the end isn't the one from the beginning? Why would the author do something that stupid?

I hate this guy more Sakura and fuck twink boi is just porn at this point.

Even if it's Fumi-chan's route, I want them to include pages where she's doing it with Nakanishi every time, like this time. Otherwise, it'll just be a hole without any emotion.

Love how they introduced FUmi and fuckboi at the same time just to make them fall in love with Sakura and Shinobu in 10 chapters for no fucking reason.
This last arc was so forced it's still funny how bad and quick eerything happened. Hope this shit ends soon.

Another broken JP bro comment? lol It won't play out like that unfortunately, even if it is locked in Fumi route, than 131 is indeed the last time we see fuckboiXSakura. Now assuming the movie production process is going to be more than an offscreen afterthought and given the minimum number of chapters we have left it doesn't make sense to limit the cast of characters this early on, there's still a bit more story worth telling besides gratuitous scenes and pushing the consolation route along.
