GraPara! - Vol. 14 Ch. 136 - Grapara!

The artist by the looks of it. Given the closing statement in the last chapter.

Honestly I'll be keeping track too for the art alone if anything.

I don’t think they necessarily work together again
The statement reads „their future works“ meaning both of them could be working on different things going forward (and boy do I hope the artist gets a decent writer next time)

 

[Kuroageha]

I also think that it's miracle that Rent a girlfriend stays updated to 400+ chapters

Rag is a soap opera not a romcom. Readers know of this, haters still think it's a failed romcom.

 

[Alzu]

Never let Katsuri write a manga.
Hope the artist doesn't go down with her though. He doesn't deserve that

 

[Absent666]

Thanks for norhing Cuckatsura. So not only Shitnobu became a cuck director, but a masochist to make things worse.

Never do a romcom again.

 

[Alsatia]

Well, but that's in real life, we're talking about a manga so we don't know if they use that logic, I would say they have real sex.

It's not real sex. I can garuntee you that. Shinobu wouldn't be getting the praise he was getting if it was actual sex.

There are movies with erotic and realistic scenes but ultimately no real sex. There was a manwha that explored this (I can't recall the name) but they have patches or a means of covering their genitalia that blend with their skin.

What we're seeing is that. The kissing and touching, it's all scripted, save for Sakura smiling. That's likely because of the hand holding with Shinobu but also a means of making her shine.

Not sure if you know this but movies don't actually do real sex for scenes. That would be crazy and no actors would participate. It's called acting for a reason...

Unsimulated sex is extremely rare in movies. Often also with body doubles.

I do in fact know this, but this is a fictional setting where unsimulated sex apparently occurs in film and TV production on a regular basis. It doesn't particularly matter because he's still filming the woman he loves having simulated sex for people to watch.

Well, but that's in real life, we're talking about a manga so we don't know if they use that logic, I would say they have real sex.

Yes, the setting is already absurd and exaggerated the degree of sex in film and tv production. It's not a massive leap to suggest this film is a fancy JAV either. The relevant thing is that its not inconsistent with what was depicted before.

guys...the chapter title doesnt have the end tag in it... im scared

 

[Rafalga]

Well, but that's in real life, we're talking about a manga so we don't know if they use that logic, I would say they have real sex.

What? Even if its fiction, story setting is a literal movie production with (now) a prestigious director as well as an award winning actress and the greatest karma dodger in history, Sakura. They are not filming porn. There is no penetration. Don't be absurd. Anyone who thinks there is actual sex in a first class movie set with like 30 staff members is an absolute retard.

 

[willz8]

Genuinely hilarious ending tbf

guys...the chapter title doesnt have the end tag in it... im scared

There's a thank you note for the 3 years and -Fin-.

If you're looking at the raws website the update is probably going to be 136 becoming a free chapter, there will be a bonus chapter that some would hope for an epilogue+ sort of thing, but it could be another Chico or random side character bonus, or the magical numbers that most would hate to see.

 

[hirop02]

I knew its gonna happens since i know her previous works but idk why i had lil hope on this shitty series😭 literally worst ending no revenge no feeling of betrayal.. she really said go fuck urself to all readers lol

 

[userlook]

I first saw this one when it appeared here, and i thought "its interesting, let me see author prior works" and i did read karami, and thank god, never came back to see this shit. Just passing to laugh at the comments.

Basically the How I met your Mother of Japan. They eat it up too. I shit on Reiji 6 out of the 7 days in a week, but unlike KA, he knows his product.

Falei q ia ter um final bem merda

Quem leu karami sabia que ia ser uma lixeira

He made a tweet about the end of the series.

I’m hoping Nishikada-sensei does some “official doujins” with alt ends to cash in on the controversy, he can make a killing and probably doesn’t need permission for KA or Kodansha.

ah yes, a doujin from a doujin author for their original manga, katsura airi is very much known to do that, who knows, maybe we'll also get a full nsfw spinoff of Chico lmao

Check the 80's japanese movie The Empire of the Senses "Ai no Korida." It's basically hardcore porn but CINEMA!

Anyway: ass.

Isso é verdade

 

[master-34]

When it comes to ntr the story would of been more original if it was about a guy with a harem that got ntred at the beginning of the story and ether the rest of the story or the first arc of the story being about the mc getting his harem back while also defeating villains that are sent by the ntr guy to kill him and each time the mc gets one of his harem members back the ntr guy gets more upset

It's misery porn and mexican telenovela by the sole fact of having run past any milestone a romcom would've checked.
