Bad Girl - Vol. 3 Ch. 29

[bt187]

I'd always understood

NTR as also encompassing the emotional side of feeling cheated/betrayed/stolen from even if in the cases where it doesn't physically happen, so just the perception/fantasizing of it happening would count, in that case.

If I'm incorrect, then disregard me on that.

I do see what you mean by gag comic first but also still containing story and plot/character progression, though. Part of my misconception probably has to do with the plethora of "extra" chapters that don't necessarily slot into the actual narrative, but do expand the character lore, as you stated, so not reading this super carefully/consistently makes it feel less cohesive than it actually is.

I think you’re right about the extra chapters not necessarily being fixed points compared to main story chapters.

And I’m not an NTR enjoyer so I have a limited grasp on it. But I know there are multiple flavors. The version you describe

fits Suzu’s initial reaction to the thought of Yuu being “taken away” by Atori.

If you follow the manga author’s twitter you’ll also see him playing up the idea of

another flavor of NTR where the heroine (Suzu) is corrupted and stolen by the antagonist (Atori). But whether the NTR is really happening or not may just be a matter of perspective.

funnily enough, I actually suspected an outcome like that second bit, independent of following any aspect of this manga other than reading the chapters here and occasionally popping into one of the discussion forums, but was told the series was too lighthearted for such a thing to actually occur; though I do think it's a reasonable prediction given the ongoing trajectory of the plot.

But given the author's other title, even with the current tone of Bad Girl I wouldn't put it past them to do it anyway. Though I guess it depends on what the end point of the actual series would be, assuming that's actually been considered by the author at this time.
