Yeah but they were mind controlled because the tought it was the MC.But now the MC's friend defeated him and probably we're on ending streach of the story
Yeah but im guessing Netori was the concept, watch this guy take all the girls. The author decided to throw thar in the trash and I know the web novel went on hiatus at this point probably because of the backlash.

Looking at the mangadex comments of the chapter, I think a lot of the fans felt the same way as people did reading Grapara here. Luckily I didnt care or follow it I just know that its the same kind of trashing the premise of the story thing that happened there.

Basically turning Netori into NTR, switching the premise. Same shit, different spin lol. All JP manga gonna end with NTR at some point

The girls still with the MC in the end of the fight so they weren't totally NTR'ed and i think the manga already passed the novel and the author is doing a original part in the manga.

I mean it has NTR even in the name so is nothing so wrong here.

But i agree with you point about changing their premise sometimes and makes feels like people wasted thei time here.

Look i don't care what kind of manga you're into but if its Netori stick with it, if its NTR fine whatever, if its pure love cool. Just dont swap the premise on the reader after years, its fucked up.
exactly if the author doesnt wanna draw/write his manga anymore than end it with the same premise and go for the next manga. Throwing away the whole premise is just wild work especially if have readers that followed the manga for years.

Looking at the comments im sure a lot of people dont feel that way, even if its mind control. A lot of people said they were done.

The crux of the modern jp ecchi mamga problem. I also believe some of the editors are to blame and should be fired.

I support you for (+1) !

I'm not a harem maniac but for Grapara, I'd like haren ending because Sakura and Shinobu's mutual love from more than 100 chapters must not be wasted and also Fumi's pure love can't be neglected.

Open ending, let two girls compete fairly or Shinobu gets both girls will be a good ending. Cheers,
Sakura threw away over 100 chapters of love between her and Shinobu by cheating and betraying him. A traitor doesn't deserve a second chance. I don't see anything wasted here—you're probably just fixated on the trope that the main leads have to end up together. Here, only Fumi deserves to have love.

I saw more people joking about the king and talking about the BL beetwen the MC and his friend.

And the story has NTR in the title,it is just like Grapara that didn't expect a NTR in a NTR-Romcom.They only didn't even pay attention in story the MC literally NTR his best friend(even if is to protect him) so is no suprise here.

But i agree with you point that the author sometimes changes the plot of the story in the middle and don't go all way on what he proposed.It makes the readers feel like they lost their time reading the story.

Definitely but I also really think that, over time, Japanese creators have really gone downhill across every genre. Shonen is trash unless you like action-heavy scenes, in which case you’ll have fun but story-wise, it’s just "mid" at best. There are still a few romance titles that really stand out The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity is genuinely good and really explores the characters' conflicts, though perhaps a bit intensely considering they’re still just kids. As for the more mature genres, they’ve all become the same; they all rely on NTR bait, hoping for big sales. The stories are usually bad to mediocre... it’s a real shame. It feels like mangaka used to put in genuine effort back in the day, whereas now they just want a quick buck and you get that by churning out edgy crap or catering to the degenerate NTR fanbase.
Thats why the current manhwas are way better than the current mangas imo plus they have nice art and color on top

We'll know everyone's feeling sooner than later now. Long as Shinobu's happy in the end with the girl he truly wants to be with then all is well, give us some drama.

This brought back painful memories... Oshi no ko!
I still can't get over how it ended because the idiot author didn't want to work on it anymore (or so i heard). That will probably forever be the worst manga i ever read... I hate it with a passion now!
I even refuse to continue watching the anime, or read any other work from this author...

The anime is doing changes here and he is writing a original ending for Kaguya-sama anime so maybe he can do it do Oshi no Ko too.

Story either dragged too long or got too big/convoluted for author to want to deal with + editor. Never really got into Oshi No Ko when it was popping off. Like the first banger OP and that was pretty much it.

Yes agreed, Japan is going to find themselves with some cultural export problems because Korean culture is exploding in the us. Also, the flow of the images of Korean manhwa are better since they're designed for digital use, easier to read.

The Jp really have big problems if the manhwa getting better and better with time. Right now there are too many good ones. Wait if the good ones getting a anime adaption like solo leveling(a mid manhwa tho tbf) Not to mention the Chinese. What they did with lord of mysteries was insane if the adaption is getting better with the later seasons than the Jp really gonna have a hard time

Wasn’t it the incest ending? If yes than I agree this was so random. A kid/teenager is in love with an mature man who’s her doctor both die reborn as siblings and they end up with lmao this is hilarious

The anime is doing changes here and he is writing a original ending for Kaguya-sama anime so maybe he can do it do Oshi no Ko too.
