GraPara! - Ch. 131 - Would You Break Up with Her? (Censored)

[pipixxx]

There are too few action scenes, which are not enough.

 

[SS-2010]

My brother in christ, not trying to be rude, but did you just call Masashi Ueda, one of the defining masters of the yonkoma format for 50+ years, winner of multiple awards, and the creator of many important manga, including one of Japan's most iconic newspaper manga, serialized in The Yomiuri Shimbun, one of Japan's five most important newspapers, "another author"?

The announcement is important enough that it's being made through a joint effort by not just one or two publishers, but three: Hobunsha, Futabasha, and Takeshobo.

Thank you for your information.

However, are you saying that because Airi Katsura sensei pays respect to industry legends, it means she still intends to stay in the business? If yes, she wants to stay as a doujin creator or a manga artist?

If Grapara has a terrible ending, she could definitely still sell doujinshi, but I find it hard to believe that manga readers wouldn't blacklist her.

She might even face a fraud lawsuit because it wasn't the NTR rom-com that was advertised but it's just a sloppy NTR story. There wasn't a single romcom moment between Shinobu and Sakura, just constant stress throughout the story.

Romcom readers didn't pay to read the NTR doujinshi, they paid for manga. If they want doujinshi, they can find it elsewhere. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It means, "She's paying respect to a very important mangaka who's quitting because of cancer," just like many others are doing, nothing more, nothing less. There's no need to get so delusional over it.

It implies that Airi Katsura destroyed Grapara because she was fired too, right?

No

My brother in christ, no offense, but calling Masashi Ueda, one of the defining masters of the yonkoma format for 50+ years, winner of multiple awards, and the creator of many important manga, including one of Japan's most iconic newspaper manga, serialized in The Yomiuri Shimbun, one of Japan's five most important newspapers, simply "another author," is hilarious.

The announcement is even being made through a joint effort by three publishers: Hobunsha, Futabasha, and Takeshobo, which is very unusual.

Actually, this kind of makes me think about Katsura Airi's age, because he's a bona fide old-school mangaka. Not that younger people can't appreciate him, but people over 30-40 would probably be the first to react to this news.

How am I supposed to know any of that?

Man I literally just want Sakura to have some consequences for her actions and Shinobu to be happy, that's it

Reverse the genders and that’s 90% of josei.

In seinen romance we don’t get to have male characters act with dignity or female characters ever getting the consequences for her actions.

And I honestly cannot figure out why…

 

[Wyrm666]

I wouldn't say she wanted it. Like I said she's submissive. It's more like she just gave in to pleasure.

It's not that she seeked it out. It's more like a heat of the moment thing.. if that makes sense? What we do know is Yuma was DEFINITELY assertive. I wouldn't be surprised if he hardly gave her a break since the sex was from dusk till dawn. It's like.. no wonder she looked like she drowned in pleasure in that last panel.

This trope is getting so old…

Like, a woman is so weak willed that if a rando makes her cum hard she abandons her personhood and becomes addicted to the D…

Hentai is build on that premise sure, but seeing the same in manga that kinda wants to take itself serious is annoying.

Regardless of the character, if a scene has a certain setup, we know the girl will become dickbrained.

Maybe Sakura was never a full fledged character but now has become a prop.

And even Fumi. I get it, she thought it would be good for Shinobu. But a random creep starts feeling her up and she absolutely starts losing her shit?

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve known a few women like that in my years, but none of them were actresses, lawyers or had a 3 digit IQ.

And I’m not even an “ally.” I just think that humans should be written like humans and not like props.

So I not alone in finding this trupe boring that's nice to know.

Man jp readers feel the same as we do

The author probably feels like they've finally achieved their long-held dream of "I did it," but the readers are probably thinking, "No, that's not right!" What's sad is that Sakura is 100% at fault, which is just awful. If it were a 60-40 or 70-30 situation, it would make for an interesting story, but in this case, there's no room for excuses. No matter how you look at it, there's no way to see a happy ending in the current situation. There may be some positive reactions, but the romantic comedy between Shinobu and Sakura is dead.

And I can see this one happening

I imagined that Shinobu would have trouble with erectile dysfunction when he first started dating Sakura, and that he would probably turn down Fumi's advances, even though Fumi isn't his girlfriend, saying that Sakura still can't forget him. So Fumi would meet with Sakura in person to talk, and confess to Sakura that the kiss with Shinobu the other day was something she did on her own, that Shinobu still has feelings for Sakura, but that she likes Shinobu and won't give up, and then Fumi would ask, "Sakura-chan, what do you think of Shinobu-san?" Sakura would reply, "..." (still being indecisive).

Hold on, in Fumi‘s case the dude spiked her tea with an aphrodisiac

I totally agree with the first comment. I don't see how the romcom could come back between Sakura and Shinobu after the NTR, it seems impossible to me.

Her latest post is kinda odd maybe a poem or something.

 

[box2024]

Yep I agree with this one

It looks like Sakura will just be abandoned and that will be the end of it. Or rather, I hope that's the end of it.

Indeed! Forgot about that…

Not wanting to go down the drain of definitions, but NTR implies a bit more that just the significant other having sex with someone else right?

If Sakura is shown on 132 very happy by the fuccboi side, then the NTR is complete. Fumi ending enters the chat.

But if she is with him in idgaf-mode and just spreads her legs on demand, then arguably she isn’t stolen and our hero will become Captain Saveaho.

Heck! I katsura airi better than Katsura Airi!!!

The ntr would be complete yeah, but unsatisfying as of we didnt even see how she broke... one good dicking was enough to break her? If thats the case than wow, even hentai fmc are more strongwilled than her and they become the biggest sluts

Aw come on I don't want an captain saveaho

New jp comments today are funny

↓So that means women are shit, right?

Shinobu owes me a debt of gratitude for helping her out of the AV industry and her family situation... Nakanishi is also a really bad guy and is being one-sided towards Shinobu, so Shinobu should get away from them as soon as possible, Fumi-chan is waiting for her.

Except for this one

Even though I'm a woman, I can relate to Sakura-chan. When you're feeling down, it's hard to see someone who's kind to you.

Going to have to see what Katsura Airi ultimately wants.
