My point is that's not a romance it's a story with romantic elements but not a romance.

"Karami Zakari" was a romance(even tagged as a romance) and her MCs didn't end together.(i'm talking about the manga)

If is not enough me being kinda mad with "Grapara".In october i will be more mad because "Operation True Love" will be back from hiatus.
Yes, but in Karami Zakari, just like in Soredemo, they show us exactly what the story is about right from the first chapter. In contrast, in Grapara, starting from the first chapter, they showed us not only the gravure but also the potential future romance between the MCs, which kept us in the dark for 129 chapters.

That is true.The NTR was super late,felt pretty rushed and really bad developed.
I think it was the first time i saw NTR fans and Romcom fans reunite to hate a author.

If nothing else I will die on the hill of fucboi and Sakura splitting for the finale, and MC's at least meeting once if not during the main storyline, then in a timeskip epilogue.
What is that manhwa about?

Eh, no? It’s still a romance. Just because the main characters don’t end up together doesn’t mean this isn’t a romcom. Shuffle is a very good example where the main character doesn’t choose the female leads, instead he chooses his childhood friend which he didn’t know was his childhood friend.

Shuffle is orginally a vn, so they basically just used the dartboard selection method when picking a route to adapt, there is no true route that some vns have. For Grapara, if we want liken it to a VN, Sakura is the true route that had a bunch branching route choices and then on the first playthrough they force you into an unavoidable bad end by omitting certain choices that don't pop up until the 2nd playthrough (stop Fumi's kiss mia).

Operation true love was such a trash manhwa man. God i hate love triangles. I still dont even know who is the endgame. The blonde idiot who really tried everything with all his might to get fmc attention or black hair dude who was absent for 10 years becomes probably deaf and still in love with fmc... not to mention who she has feelings for. I still dont know which one she loves lol. I cant imagine her being with blonde when she literally rejected him once and even twice in the taxi in her thoughts lol. Cant understand the positive resonance of this manhwa ngl but i also think that this manhwa will end soon wasnt she on hiatus because she is in the finale stage of the manhwa? Black hair dude was going back to the states, so if she didnt stop him there blonde will be endgame and thats it.

Just dont read it man, except you like love triangles than go for it but this is really a waste of time. I dont know go and read the hot shit the executioner or bully in charge both top tier art and a decent story. No romance involved in those two tho

No love triangle. There’s one girl that’s a bit annoying but that’s all she is. The characters are great and there’s a pair of side character you will definitely like a lot
If you want to read some great romance manga that will make you forget about Grapara right away and give you a heart attack, I recommend “Oku-sama wa Niizuma-chan” and “Tonari no Kurokawa-san”—some of the best romance manga I've ever read in my whole fucking life.

man i have really enough of these isekais, i remember watching and reading re zero which was insanely good, and than i watched the anime overpowered in a different world with a smartphone or something like that. And god damn this one ruined the isekai genre, arifureta was a good one i liked it mc got betrayed and fights his way back and gets stronger was a good premise and my first mc betrayal isekai. But these op mc isekai slops getting out of hand. But op mc and rutheless is also a nice combo the executioner is quite nice nglOr, just read overpowered Mc/isekai slop.

There’s also Skool of Street I’m reading currently. But that’s more focused on the streetdance scene. the character design is incredible. There’s also a bit of romance and just like in my first recommendation it happens very naturally without any big drama.
