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

[jonasadan]

I saw him popping up in twitter when searching for grapara some time ago. It seems the dude only does NTR shit

I think it depends on how the poll turns out. In the poll he did, there was the scene with Fumi and Shinobu, but the other options were ntr.

But I do find Katsura's silence on X strange; she used to post and repost very frequently, and for several days now she's been quiet.

Well it's likely a combination of her taking a break and because of all the harassment I would be lying if I said I'm not curious as to what her next project will be.

Wow

What do you mean, a genius at sex scenes? He's just a regular adult film director!

I just realized the camera that is being used at the end is a cheap kind of camera that is used in low budget films and porn. The ending was a 100% implied porn shoot.

Don't overthink about that,it will only things for you😅.

I don't think it isn't a porn shot(pretty close to that) and i think is just a normal sex scene.

And before the diabolical scene we see a big studio scructure(bigger than the Fumi's one) so is likely just a regular movie sex scene.

That is purely a overthinking in my opinion.

 

[hugorito420]

There is a really easy solution...Change ch129-136 completely, like redo them from zero, add a Chico bonus and release as vol 14.
Then take the old chapters add a bonus .5 sex scene of maybe even both couples, and release as vol 14b... Fuck it, you might as well call it vol 14 "NTR edition"

And that's how you make insane profit from this shit show! Takeda Super did it, so it's nothing new...

I think at maximum we can receive is the bonus chapter from volume 14 being a Sakura and Shinobu proper reconciliantion and sex.

And super did that in the middle of manga so it was possible to do it.It is different from Airi that the manga already ended.

Agreed, we see Shinobu moving away from being reliant on intimate scenes at the end of the time skip. The producer is an old acquaintance so Shinobu probably accepted the project more readily, and when he sees Sakura as the suggested actress our boi's eyes lit up.

Airi couldn't help herself one last time ig. I see the angle for it.

Looks like this might even spark a bit of hope they change things in vol 14. It's very minimal, but since the backlash still didn't die down there is a possibility...

I agree but just changing the chapter 129 (Sakura survived in the last minute) is enough to sell the volume 14 and solve the anger.

Because none of the rom-com FMC can be raped though she ends up happily with the MC.

Grapara is a manga, not a doujinshi!

To keep the chapter 129 make Grapara is not a rom-com at all.

We haven't even touched upon the social and legal repercussions if the chapter 129 were to be published in print...

Because it means anyone with a copy of volume 14 could read it regardless of who bought it.

In reality, while a sale might be restricted by age, once the book is sold, there is no way to prevent a ten-year-old kid from reading it.

Do you guys remember how manga influenced us when we were young, or did you start reading it after the age of 18? LOL

Seriously, kids will be implanted by Grapara volume 13 and 14 to believe that if they like someone, they should simply rape her in their room to make her their girlfriend, completely disregarding the law.

This is a terrifying prospect. I find it hard to believe that parents and various organizations wouldn't take action if they were shown the contents of volume 14.

Because 80% of rapes occur in the victim's or the rapist's home exactly like cucboy did. Assaults and rapes by strangers in public places account for less than 10% of cases because 90% of the cases, the victim and the rapist know each other.

And please don't forget that in Japan, only 1 out of 30 victims reports the incident to the police! They didn't know the law had changed to give them the rights already!

With original chapter 129 in volume 14, I’m afraid Airi Katsura (sensei) may face public condemnation and a lawsuit from Kodansha and Keishi Nikishida sensei or even her editor could sue for damages as her business partners.

She might even be driven to commit suicide, a common way for Japanese people to escape their problems. I'm not kidding because people with true mental strength don't go around proclaiming that they are mentally strong (the true mentally strong person will be calm and quiet). Also, we have consistently seen her boasting and spouting those lies, right?

Just changing some panels of the chapter 129 in the printed version in volume 14 will solve every problems.

To be reminded, current laws only apply to print versions. The legislation has not yet been amended to cover electronic versions as it is still considered possible to lock the device to prevent children from accessing the content (some families in Japan do not allow their children to use mobile phones until they are 14). Unlike with print copies which cannot be controlled in the same way.

Will Kodansha make the volume 14 without changing the chapter 129 or they'll cancel the volume 14 forever? I don't think Kodansha is stupid enough to just collect chapter 128 to 136 and make the volume 14 at ease. Or I over-estimate Kodansha? We'll see. LOL

Look at all the new comments on magapoke for chapter 136. It looks like they stopped deleting and are bashing it hard, like twitter level hard. Almost unanimously. This might have something to do with it.

IMHO, it's easy to understand that the web admin doesn't care the comments because it's not their duty anymore because Grapara ends already.

I believe the web admin never actually wanted to delete or hide comments but they were just following orders from Airi Katsura (Sensei) who was a VIP client renting space on MagaPoke to show her manga. It's just a business and duty.

Now that the contract has ended and there are no new chapters, there is no longer any need for them to monitor the comments. Put simply, they aren't getting paid by her anymore, so their obligation has ceased. After all, you wouldn't work for free, especially not on a job that causes people to curse at you, right? LOL Glad for them to get out of this trouble causing by AK (sensei).

We all see with just a single chapter 129, AK (sensei) wreaks havoc on everyone around her. She is truly mentally ill like any mad person. Because mad person has their own world, acting as if they were the only person in the world. In their mind, they're always right. Rules and laws simply do not exist. They believe they can do whatever they please with people and this world which is exactly how AK (sensei) behaved.

We can also notice that the fact that she had the blonde praised the cucboy in chapter 135 by calling him "so cool" for raping Sakura and describing the act as an expression of immense love, clearly demonstrates that she is mentally disturbed. If rape were truly a way to show deep love, there would be no need for marriage or dating or etc. People could simply rape whoever they liked. Just imagine the chaos that would ensue!

She cannot go on living like someone with a mental illness, causing problems for those around her and for society. She does need treatment!

Wishing AK (sensei) is quiet because she's seeing a doctor and receive a treatment right now. I'm really rooting for her to recover (not sarcastic).

 

[hugorito420]

That's why I said it's implied.

Even if it is a porn or not,it would change in nothing the fact that the last scene is diabolical.(i think it is just a regular movie sex scene)

Man, it has nothing to do with it, but the one who made the fuckboixsakura animation really puts in the effort, I think the animation supposedly lasts 5 minutes, I'm seriously thinking about buying it..., too bad it's with the fuckboi.

It really is a good animation! The animator is Mecrub on patreon for anyone wondering.

He's doing a poll right now on what short animation to do next. Two GraPara scenes are mentioned. Being the Director/Toppy scene and Fumi scene.

Lust Geass and Guilty Circle are also in it along with some other works.

I've been chatting with him, with any luck he'll check out Daredemo as I've been suggesting it could be good for some scenes he can animate.

I think I'll buy it, but I'm waiting to see if he releases the V2 with voice. He said he would if the V1 goes well

Well getting voice actors can also be a little hard too. Hopefully he'll be able to pull it off. But either way I'm looking forward to seeing what he does next.

He definitely has potential as an animator.

Or perhaps Kodansha should negotiate a bit with Katsura, offering Keishi, who is the artist and owns 50% of the rights, the chance to continue with "Grapara 2.0" with her own version, picking up from chapter 128.

Honestly, I'm not strong enough to watch the sex scene between Fuckboy and Sakura animated. However, if they release the Fumixshinobu version, I'll buy it.

A fair take. I'm numb to it at this point so it doesn't affect me like it used to. Not that it means I enjoy the scene lol

Literally the most pointless cheating scene from any manga I've read. It's not even NTR for me. It's just cheating!

I agree, it wasn't NTR at all, it was a despicable act of infidelity. If he wanted to do a proper NTR scene, he should have done it in episode 95 with the director and Toppy.

Though it's a good job, I'll pass because Mecrub really give the cucboy the facial expression and posture of a full-blown rapist villain from a hentai doujin. LOL

Cucboy's not a manga's character anymore. He was just an ugly fat middle-aged man who had been reincarnated into the body of a handsome young man. Isekai? LOL

(Even though the cucboy lacks the menacing look in manga, he is still a villain who maintains a handsome facade for going out to buy drinking water, condoms and tissues intent on having sex that very night. LOL)

I wonder is it an unwritten rule for fan-made versions that the FMC's bust must be bigger than the original? LOL

I’m not really a fan of resizing the bust or the boobs. LOL Because many characters already have large ones and making them ridiculously huge just looks weird (for me). LOL

Mecrub’s version of Sakura looks like she got a plastic surgery just to compete with Fumi. LOL

IMHO, more people will be interested in the work if Mecrub did an extended scene of Fumi x Shinobu in chapter 132-133 instead of Sakura x cucboy in chapter 129 as many people hate Sukura and cucboy.

Also the original Fumi x Shinobu scene was too short that it left many people complaint such as @box2024 , right? LOL

Anyway, a friend of mine just mentioned that while comments on MagaPoke was deleted, many Japanese still wrote their comments elsewhere such as at https://webcomics.jp/comment/155486 where the comment count has skyrocketed since chapter 129 like here. LOL

So, foreigners like us focused too much on X and MagaPoke and overlooked just how angry and resentful many Japanese readers are toward Airi Katsura (sensei) on other platforms.

Some Japaneses have accused her of being a psychopath who intentionally targeted on harming rom-com readers. Some have even cursed her to die.

Many Japanese readers find it unacceptable for a manga to contain the doujinshi content. Many even criticize this is the selling doujinshi as manga, viewing it as a form of cheating.

This is terrifying because the people who leave numerous comments likely won't actually harm her, as they have already vented their rage online. But the person who would harm her probably never write a single comment as they would like to unleash their fury on her in person, not over the Internet.

For example, a worker at her regular ramen shop could be harboring a grudge and looking for a chance to harm her. Japanese attackers prefer stabbing or arson.

I'm worried Airi Katsura (sensei) may have to avoid being outside till next year (until angers blow over) or she'd stay in a remote province. Because she never knows if people around her may be among those enraged by chapter 129.

The revision of chapter 129 in volume 14 might be very significant for more than just boosting sales because it could also be crucial for AK (sensei)'s safety.

Hopefully, Kodansha will revise the chapter 129 in the volume 14 to put an end to the various issues surrounding it.

P.S. Japanese readers said the same thing that the only reason they read Grapara is Keishi Nishikida sensei's beautiful artworks because the storyline was absolutely terrible for a long time and became worst in the end.

Before 136 came out, changing 129 into 129.5 alone could be enough and everything that followed would've been played off as a "lie" by fucboi just barely, although Sakura's actions in the aftermath chapters would still be nonsensical.

The problem with 136 is the major time skip of 5 years which was meant to showcase the progression of the MC's (mostly Shinobu's) careers but the writing threw everything off with fucboi disappearing after 135, and only Fumi Shinobu and Sakura having any important roles.

Also the moment where Sakura finally learns the "partial truth" after 5~6 years at this point (she doesn't learn that Shinobu knows the full truth, only that he was looking for her the whole night) was so bare minimum it's hard to feel any "reward" for reading GraPara! to the end.

Best wishes to Airi-sensei, I can sort of see the "depth" of the story she was going for in her twisted vision but the execution and landing does not stick and the axe did not help.

Oh it was way to short and just once for fumi! Why she needed more screen time dammit!
