Going to miss these long colorful write ups.

Everything is as you said, Sakura didn't ask to meet, bro had it planned out the moment he saw the text. The one point for doubting this would be when he asks her where to she want to go in the taxi, but ultimately I think he would've manipulated the conversation for her to go back to his place regardless.

I don't know if Vol 14. will have trouble because it's a question of whether it's explicit enough to qualify as the big R here and get the manga in trouble because on the flipside there's say there was consent, but imo at best it was FALSE consent because he kisses Sakura after telling her to pick him and ignores her initial attempts to resist while she was clearly in no state of mind to make any rational decisions, although I guess fucboi decides at that moment that sex is obviously what Sakura needed over a listenining ear. False consent is another gray zone ahh topic imo
Good observation. Shinobu asked Sakura, "can I put it in?" and then Sakura nodded her head to show her consent (she also the person who gave him the condom) while cucboy asked nothing even Sakura actually said "no" and "wait" he still didn't stop.

For your own knowledge, I suggest you to study the Japanese rape law then you'll see the cucboy would be in jail already (so many witnesses in chapter 130 and 135 LOL) though he'll spend time there only 3-5 years. But it's enough to ruin his career and he deserved it.

As I told you, I believe my friend who is a lawyer. She made a face like "why did you ask me a stupid question as it's obvious rape!?" LOL

I don't know the rape law in the other countries, but in my country and in Japan, cucboy definitely raped Sakura. I'm certain about it.

Volume 14 contains a multitude of problematic matters.
I’m not even sure Kodansha dare to publish it without doing anything. If they'll not revise chapter 129, they must do something such as put an announcement, or giving readers knowledge about the laws, or etc. to claim they don't support any crime like Airi Katsura (sensei) clearly did in chapter 127-130 and chapter 135.

Readers are not blind, in chapter 129, Sakura’s wrist was explicitly restrained by cucboy to prevent her from escaping. And in chapter 135, he is admitted that the act was forced and non-consensual.

So, what is sex without consent defined if it's not rape?


Does a "rom-com" manga really allow a plot where the FMC successfully gets raped? Again, "ROM-COM" manga, not thriller manga or hentai doujin.

Rom-com manga always starts with a comedy scene in chapter 1 in order to drag the readers to continue reading it. But where is it in the chapter 1 of Grapara? LOL So, Grapara is a rom-com fraud from the beginning, right?

If the volume 14 will be published without change or adding anything properly, it would certainly spark a major controversy.

P.S. When I read Japanese comments to say farewell to Grapara, I saw a Japanese comment still survived from deleting, it clearly said that cucboy couldn't use love as a reason to rape Sukura. So, if you think it's rape, you're not alone. Though almost all comments about rape were deleted or hidden, people who think it's rape do exist.

Well I'll be watching for the Vol 14 announcement with curiosity. I will be surprised if anything is changed, but would welcome it I think.

The wristholding was certainly awkward, just go for the handholding it's literally just 1 extra step, bro was probably a little too excited. Also no after cuddles, just a zoned tf out Sakura lying there while my guy is hydrating, real.

We don't know exactly what Sakura told the two but it probably just stopped at Shinobu cheating when she saw the kiss or else they would've asked her why she ran away instead of talking with Shinobu if she explained the later events. As for the whole one-time thing it's just a proposed solution to one of the many problems with the story for now not @SS-2010 making a definitive declaration.
IMHO, Sakura did tell Nagi and Mio about the cucboy too, so Nagi tried to soothe (comfort) her

Then Mio asked Sakura in chapter 134 "what did HE say to make you unhappy?"

So, she did tell Nagi and Mio about cucboy and she might tell them it's just a one-time sex, so Nagi linked it to her own experience on the island.

If Sakura didn't tell them about cucboy, why Nagi had to say about her own experience and then tell Sakura in the positive way that it benefits nude or sex scene? Then, why Mio knows who Sakura consulted about the sex scene if Sakura stop at the point she ran away from Shinobu?


We can imply Sakura told them about cucboy too, so they got the picture of her situation.

@jonasadan if a friend told you she broke up with her boyfriend but she got the new one immediately, will you need to soothe her like Nagi did? If I were you, I'd think the friend is ok now. It's no need to soothe her.

But if the friend told you, a handsome guy shew up at the train station without her request, took her to his room instead of his girl friend's room and then confessed his love to her but regardless waiting for her answer, he suddenly forced her to have sex so she didn't reply anything till now. Will you feel for her and try to make her look in a positive way as much as you can?

It's a common sense, right?

Sakura didn't reject cucboy but she didn't accept as well, she just went with the flow. She's in a dilemma.

I think you're correct here! The only odd thing is their relationship still being cordial enough to discuss work related topics, with Sakura being at his place when we see the conversation in 134.

I honestly think Sakura only went to the Playboy Mansion to ask for professional advice, since Playboy has been in the industry longer and could offer a clearer perspective. However, Katsura's mediocre writing, with its loose ends, leaves many things open to interpretation. But I think it's because of what I said.

This is my understanding too, but Airi can always change this with the way it was shown very easily. It's one of her talents, being vague with the presentation to leave herself wiggle room.
