That comment appears to be gone, along with a whole lot more. Number of comments doesnt go down though, crazy manipulation

It's on chapter 132 and it's still there.

Looks like they purge any comments that criticize anything or call out KA? Bit of a stretch and weird they're still at it given the relative "calm" of the last 2 chapters that've come out.

A new volume is incoming, got to do some damage control for that... A bit to late lol

Did this kind of thing happen with Guilty circle or any of their other manga? Or is this just strictly Grapara that is doing this

Well GC did have its own brand of crazy moments but readers knew what they were getting as they kept reading, vs the slowburn rugpull moment in GraPara! that leaves everyone clueless as to where we can even go from here with the story. If we ignore what was done KA has done quite well here, just in the wrong direction so far...

Ah ok, different chapter, I do find it hard to believe 133 only has like 5 comments in 17 hours though.

Im just tired of magapoke. Ive been lightly following a raw for My beloved wife's secret account, thinking it would be a nice NTR revenge story.

Well at about chapter 91 it looks like they are about to rape the MCs new love interest in front of him. Surprise, surprise... looks like magapoke is going to strike again.

I don't even know where the author is going with that one... Now it looks like a Warner Bros cartoon, with Rika as Jerry and Sousuke as Tom...

Sakura at no point mentions dating anyone else to Nagi and Mio. A detail that would be incredibly important to point out.

You still trust the mangaka, eh?..

Yeah the comments are sinking to their original numbers (300-400) per chapter. It will probably drop even more unless she pisses off everyone that is still left paying for this...

There's definitely not much wiggle room but there's still some things that can be done: 1) erase fucboi from story, 2) it was a one night affair, 3) Sakura is just focusing on work and not in a relationship, simply wanted to avoid Shinobu. Even if these things are done (very unlikely) story still has a lot of work to sort things out in a way that could even be considered satisfying, otherwise since the beginning they should've dropped the rom-com tag and kept it an NTR drama within the gravure industry.

I meant did comments get deleted on guilty circle

When it comes to story telling the mangaka has shown moments of being clever. So I'm not ruling out the possibility.

It could be she's holding off intentionally to keep our attention or something. But it's been a few chapters since we've seen the dude so it's hard to say.

I agree with the last line, that is the reason GC hasn't received that much hate as Grapara. In a drama you expect shit like this! Hell even in GC i was surprised at some points the NTR didn't happen. Shark teeth buddies GF in the last arc for example...

But i don't think they'll change anything, i'm also pretty sure the .5 ch will be Sakura not Fumi.

As cynically funny a 129.5 would be to see come out, it's both KA and the Artist's reputation on the line right now (mostly KA). Looking forward to what the magic number is 129 or 133. Reputation matters a lot in Japan and KA's probably pushed hers to the limit and a bit extra so far so she either has to be in the middle of a masterwork plan or scrambling for damage control some more.

FYI, the Japanese web admin has two approaches : deleting or hiding the comment. Deleting will affect the counter but hiding won't. For hiding, if the comment owner doesn't logout, s/he won't know his/her comment was hidden.

Is it just the web admin or does Airi herself or the editor have the ability to hide or delete, do you know?

It's funny they deleted the top comment on I think 130 or 131 listing off all the things shionbu did for Sakura I was up for a week and they deleted it I have no idea why!

If she does a 129.5 that probably gonna happen.(piss-off everybody)

I really don't think Arir cares about her reputation I really don't I don't think the publisher cares either you guys really think she will change anything because of some criticism right now no one and I'm no one wants sakura and shinobu to get back together in the jp comments she can do what ever she wants with fuckboi and Sakura right now and NOT cause controversy. Face it the romance part of this story between Sakura and shinobu is over.

Ya she really likes those two characters together I think.

I don't buy that entirely yet based on how 133 went, onwards to 134. Also, doesn't matter the ego, reputation carries quite the weight in JP that if she continue to do spiteful things that make no sense, she'll have no fallback career as KA and is going to have to take up an alias as a new writer or something.
