I think your friend is just reaching there isn't any damage control if there was there would be delays in the writing which tells me she planned it like this plus Japanese publishers care more about creative freedom than most other companies if this was Korean she would be forced to change things.
ShiFumi IS the damage control, or everything has still just been going according to a very deviously long thought out plan.

As I know, Kodansha is the same kind of Korean publisher, no real freedom. Domestic Kanojo is an example, the author wanted to end it since highschool arc but you see what happened and Kodansha did this with many mangas. It's business. Other publishers may behave as you said but not Kodansha. LOL

Yes but when they demand change delays happen want an example secret class when we get to an ntr point oh it's suddenly on break every single time he did one ntr element with one of the girls the fandom rioted.

I must say because it hasn't been shown and those 3 panels were ambiguous it IS possible that fuckboi was a one time thing for Sakura that she did not want sex from him and just didn't want to be alone and fuckbois talk with shinobu was his attempt to ensure he doesn't talk with her again and clear up the misunderstanding leaving Sakura with no choice but him. But that to remains to be seen.

It would also prove the theory that he is an asshole.

Everything has been intentionally hidden as such. Infuriatingly brilliant move I guess since we're still deliberating over the final mystery that could really impact the rest of the story from here.

Secret class is a Korean manga, the publisher is Topcomics (correct me if I'm wrong). But Grapara is a Japanese manga (Kodansha). We only said that Kodansha behaves like Korean publisher as they didn't give the author full freedom to work but in details they're different because Korea and Japan have different culture. Sorry for making you confusing.

My point was when the publisher demands changes to the story delays happen if you haven't noticed grapara comes out every week without fail that doesn't happen even super only dose 3 chapters a month instead of 4. Well in this case it will be 5.

I think the Shifumi and FuckboiXSakura was always planned; what I feel is damage control is the Fuckboi's complete absence during the timeskip
Agree, but in better way than chapter 129, maybe chapter 150.

Airi Katsura (sensei) had no time because the order to end Grapara in volume 14 (chapter 137), so she rushed everything with terrible plot.

If Sakura broke up with Shinobu normally then go to fucboy and end up with him, people won't get angry.

Now, Japanese people hated both Sakura and fucboy because of the doujin plot to push them togather. That's it ! LOL

Hol up, by extension that means they are 100% an item in the post time skip now no? The pacing really is so screwed, like damned if they're an item, damned if they're not because why go through all the trouble just to have them be split after a few months then.

Not really,she can do changes during the story,it happended some times.Only thing it would delay it is draw the chapters again like daredemo.

She literally make two characters being hella hate just for the sake of her fetish and didn't understand that would make romcom fans(big part of her public in this manga) really mad.

I see, my friend. But I also have no idea about Topcomics VS Kodansha. I don't know what they think.

Korean and Japan manga are much different in details. For example, you'll not see Korean manga sex scenes of under 18 characters in school uniform. You rarely see true incest sex (same blood). But in Japan, you saw 13+ girl in school uniform sex scene because the Japan government allow girl to have sex since 13 years old. You saw many real incest (same blood) sex scene, etc.

These are just the examples of differences. So, Topcomics and Kodansha can't be compared in what they do in details. Their damage controls are different.

Well, this is going to sound like I'm defending Chapter 129, but I think it was always meant to be or was planned to be ntr. I think where they went wrong was in the execution; they made it seem more like a cheating than ntr. The manga was always presented as a romcom-ntr, and the ntr was bound to happen at some point.

I think rom-com NTR means you use verbal technigue, you use your friend, etc. to make someone change her mind. Using forced sex or raping is not a rom-com method, it's a doujin method. LOL

I don't think the old plan for fucboy who was potray as a real good man is to get Sakura by raping. Chapter 129 destroyed him completely from a supporting male to villain (rapist). LOL

Well, looking at it that way, rom-com and NTR don't really mix, since they lead to completely different endings. It would only work if the NTR element remained limited to "bait"—which, as we've seen, did work. Full-blown NTR right to the end would cause an uproar and it doesnt matter how you do it the execution doesnt really matter atp,is it bound to happen? not necessarily if the author had at least an iq of 80... but that’s just my humble opinion.

Lezin not topcomics I believe. They make him change it every time now it's almost a joke with how many time they slap him and the artist on the hand.

Well, I don't think you need to overthink it, romcoms and NTR just don't mix; they can't coexist, unless you're a cuck
