I remember someone once saying that readers could band together and sue the publisher or the people involved for misleadingly marketing the series as a rom-com. I'm actually starting to wish that would happen.
At this point, that would be the real Grapara 2—a story that unfolds in a courtroom.
I remember seeing something like this in a comment from Japanese readers in
chapter 129 but it’s probably been deleted by now.
The web admin doesn't let those negative comments stay up for more than an hour.
Even if a lawsuit actually arises, a standard tactic lawyers use is to claim their client has
mental health issues. I am certain
Airi Katsura (sensei)'s lawyer will use this argument in court.
Recently, a Japanese actor cited this same issue after getting into a conflict with an actress. He had gone off-script in TV drama by hugging her or touching her face (I don't recall exactly which). But I am certain that
AK (sensei)'s lawyer will have an easy job convincing the judge that she is truly mentally ill.
But what about
Keishi Nishikida sensei who will be accused of complicity? Perhaps he needs to sue AK (sensei) to prove that he was coerced into cooperating or to secure his status as a witness like
Miyuki in
Jinsei Gyakuten ?
