GraPara! - Vol. 14 Ch. 135 - Sex Scenes

[Apollo_Ibis]

Yea I agree! The ranking of this shouldn't be that low. It has its moments but I don't think it deserved the hate. Well kinda... I do see where people are coming from with it and I even have my own gripes about it but still.

Honestly, in my opinion, what could have saved this manga was if we get that cut off from chapter 128 and open up with the events of 130. Leave 129 ambiguous and as a "did she? did she not?" moment of tension. I think we can agree that it was that chapter that broke most readers. I wasn't a fan of it myself but, like other media, I got over it. Now I'm numb to seeing it when it comes to the emotions.

I would have liked to see the story keep going. The art to get better. The sex scenes to be spicier, the characters to be more developed and go through more situations. Everyone is confident all the backlash got the story axed but, while likely, I wouldn't be surprised if this was intended.

Thinking on it, I think I'll keep up with what KA does, even if she can't get this artist again, it's not like her own drawing is terrible. The art is good in the doujin is really good in her "Entanglement" story (I can't memorize the JP name for some reason lol) as I've read the uncensored versions. So I won't be disappointed if she's drawing her next story.

It's sad to see GraPara ending but if it gets an anime or a sequel I won't push it away honestly.

I would actually laugh if this is the intended ending. Maybe she ran out of ideas for a 15th volume and decided to rush it

I would laught too but i think it was axed.Too many time skips(2 or 3 timeskips happened) and too many rushed developments on the last chapters for things that would be solved in at least 10 chapters.

It likely was axed, since I feel fuckboi and Fumi weren't as explored during the aftermath as intended. Not that I'm praising fuckboi, especially after his admitting of forcing himself on Sakura out of desperation and Blondie being all "yea so cool!" but still.

So she can only do what she can at this point. I'm not expecting a good ending but KA is working with what she has.

I doubt there would’ve been a different ending if she had more time. Things most likely would’ve ended up the same way. I just don’t really believe it only got axed because of the backlash

Money is a powerful thing. I wouldn't be surprised if sales were also a part of the reason.

Idk where they are but our resident Sale observer showed us some chapters ago that the overall sales aren’t that bad

So then what's your theory on it getting axed?

 

[elisias]

Nah, even we cut off the incident chapter this manga still kinda meh. IMHO i can only give it 3-5, it stand in middle of normal manga and hentai doujin. The only good thing about this manga is art and fan-service, romcom is so weak to nearly non-exist. Drama is suck, that's many better work showing the bad side of movie/modelling industry.

Like Domestic na kanojo, for the story alone I can give it 8-10 but then author ruin the ending. It reduce the total score so much I can only give it overall 4-5.

Or Oshi no ko, I give it 9-10 along the way but the ending suck so need to reduce it to 7-8. At least it's not as bad as Domestic and this dumpter fire.

And that’s a good Rating here. Giving it a 6-7 just shows that you have 0 standards for the manga you read. You could also go and read the biggest shit of generic ntr and you would rank it the same. The amount of coping is insane
Also it deserves all the hate it gets even more.

So then what's your theory on it getting axed?

Controversy blown out of control, mayhaps.

I'm sure the ntr was planned, it's Cuckatsura's style, but never thought it would stir extreme negative reactions.

She simply ran out of ideas to fill another full volume at least. The timeskip after the break up was fine imo.

It likely was axed, since I feel fuckboi and Fumi weren't as explored during the aftermath as intended. Not that I'm praising fuckboi, especially after his admitting of forcing himself on Sakura out of desperation and Blondie being all "yea so cool!" but still.

I think it’s possible she didn’t know how to explore these characters and simply decided to end it.

Sounds kinda crazy now that I’m typing it out tho.

 

[Jhon1617]

I think Katsura is going to get a rude awakening when she realizes over the next two weeks that the No. 1 sales she’s been bragging about are just her own delusions—since they’ll likely turn out to be a flop. So she might change the ending she had planned to one that’s more satisfying for the fans.

I'm being generous here, and where tf did i give 6-7? I didn't put that number elsewhere

Not you brother not you. The other dude gave it a 6-7… you gave a solid rating. I just mean the people rating it 6-7 have 0 standards.

I'm sure it was planned too, just poorly executed when a majority view it as simple cheating rather than the usual NTR. And that's coming from even NTR fans.

It does sound crazy. Yet it also makes sense funnily enough! Really it was just a matter of the two talking it out and some more intense baits could have happened.

 

[Apollo_Ibis]

I‘d give it a 5.5. it’s not good but it’s not bad either (at least not soredemo ashita… levels of bad)

And yes the .5 is for the unga bunga scenes.

 

[Absent666]

but then author ruin the ending.

Rereading DnK, it was obvious Rui wasn't gonna win, Sasuga always gunned for a Hina endgame, but botched the execution. Rui was a plot device to prevent Natsuo from returning with Hina because she was basically his maturity mirror and Natsuo's final step into adulthood wasn't settling down with Rui because of having left her preggo, it was taking responsibility for Hina's feelings.

DnK main motif was what does it mean to be an adult? And sure as shit it wasn't about wanting to rail your nbr oneechan, neither your nbr imouto, but to learn to communicate and compliment with your couple, and he sucked dick at both of that during tge whole run.

Well i gave it a 1/10 like i said. Am i being petty or something? Not really, i wasn't even invested that much into this manga until the whole drama started. It's just, why would i give something i think is trash now a bigger rating? Truth be told, the art could justify a bit of a bigger score, but the ruined story and now destroyed characters make that trivial in my decision...

Aitsu no kanojo also went on for 70 chapters and got one of the stupidest endings I have ever had the displeasure of reading. And the author actually had the audacity to say this is exactly how he planned it.

I do give 4.5 or 5 for this.The art is really good and the story had a good start but she destroyed everything because she done the NTR way too late and the chapters were trash after that.

And almost all characters became dislikeble and had a character assasination for the sake of her fetish.
