I think Hima-ten was a little bit worse.Because since the beginning we knew that would end like that,and like Hima-Ten the execution was pretty rushed.
From their big 3 rom-coms, i think i'd still put Lemon last. Blue Box was in general the best, but i'll give a very slight advantage to Hima-ten before Lemon. Like half a point lol

One of the many things grapara taught me is that people will believe anything before what's shown. You could depict a FMC having sex with her boyfriend while your MC is sad for months over a break up and they will tell you that she's not actually dating that ikeman. They will also believe that an actress that only films sex scenes is somehow successful and not the closet thing you can do to turn your FMC into an av actress in a ROMcom.
Brother, you're comparing two manga that have nothing to do with each other. The author of "Grapara," Katsura Airi, was already known for creating NTR manga. Even though we were blind and naive, it was labeled as an NTR romantic comedy, so even though she did it, she was already an NTR author. In contrast, in this manga, the author has only ever done romantic comedies. Throughout the manga, he's shown us a real romantic comedy with NTR bait, but that's all it is—bait! Here are the manga's tags:
Shonen
Tags: Youth/School Life
Tags: Rom-com
Tags: School Environment
Tags: Flirty/Lovely-tovey
Tags: Big Breasts
Tags: Devoted Girl

The only thing i really hated on blue box is what they did to Hina and after they made official we didn't have any moments with Ayame and Kyo.Blue box for me has a huge gap against Hima-Ten and Lemon.

One of the most boring and forgettable endings we got recently... Oh well, on to the next one lol
SPOILER

You are absolutely right, I was a Kogahara fan, but they practically gave no development to her relationship with Sunao. I expected more after they made it official, and the reason for the body swap, Idk, it seems very simple to me. I think it's still much better than Hima-ten, but as you say, it's a very boring ending, the axed is too obvious

By the way, look up the author on X and in their latest post promoting the new chapter, there are already some hateful comments about the supposed NTR.
Man these manga authors that think this kind of bait is entertaining in a classic rom-com have to have massive balls of steel! Or they are just god damn idiots... :kek:

After hearing what happened to KA (you know everybody did at this point), i wouldn't dare to even hint at anything related to NTR! The risk of disaster is waaaaay bigger then the possible reward...

Don't mind me, I'm just passing by doing some typo fixes on my earlier posts...

Anyway, SA's (Suga Atsushi) decision to NOT SHOW what happened during King Crimson Skipped Time gives him a way to bullshit his way out of the current situation, something KA didn't have because she showed it.

for the well trained eyes the whole sequence of quirky girl looks like a bait. She is ashamed or embarrassed to tell him what she does, and some of you think having sex is a weird thing?
Unless you guys are minors sex is not a weird thing to do lol
I don't think anyone thinks having sex is bad or a strange thing, but having it after she kisses the mc and she has some idea of his feelings, Idk, I think it's strange.

By the way, wouldn't it really be considered netorare? I feel that there are arguments to consider it.

Well ntr is with manipulation of the loved one. In this case the fmc(if she has sex with other people I highly doubt it but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the case) actively goes out with other guys to have sex. The corruption doesn’t happen so I don’t think it’s ntr. Also I don’t think she is sleeping with other guys. I just hope the mangaka doesn’t drag this out for 100+ chapter to get to know what she did… would drop it after 40-50 and no reveal.

If it's NTR, then the FMC is already in love with the MC, and he with her. So, if Luna, already in love with the MC, had sex with another man or did something explicit like masturbating in front of another man because of her fetish, it would already be considered NTR.

If I expect that secret she can't tell the MC because it would disappoint him, to be resolved quickly, the author has already played with that plot a lot. He's left many loose ends in the story. If he keeps dragging out the plot of that supposed secret, it will become boring and repetitive, with NTR bait.

Exactly, it should be resolved quickly and than both can be a couple and from than on the mangaka can continue. Drawings are good sorgst would be ideal

Also I mean she is ashamed/ embarrassed of what she did, she thinks it’s weird(from what I read from the comments here) and you guys assuming she is having sex with other guys. But what’s weird on having sex with other guys? Mc is her cousin at the end of the day so. That’s not weird in: that wouldnt be something interesting to write a story about

The weird thing is that it's a pure rom-com, her being a slut out of nowhere wouldn't make sense now. The cousin fact also doesn't matter at all since Japan is among the countries that allows marriage between cousins.

Watch it be something really stupid where the MC will be like "That's it?"... It will for sure be resolved in the next ch, no way this will be dragged on.

This is a romantic comedy, besides, she's already in love with the MC, so her sleeping with other men doesn't make sense.

As I told you, it's not strange for her to have sex with other guys, that's normal, what's strange is that she does it after kissing the mc, that's the weird part, it's like she's playing with him and I don't think the fmc cares that he's her cousin since she kissed him.
