I'm taking up Grapara! (Gravure Paradise)
I’ve known about this manga since it first came out. Legendary NTR mangaka Airi Katsura writes a manga about gravure idols (swimsuit models). It seemed like it was going to be gold, but it never really sucked me in. This was partly because I wasn’t actually trying to read it, but just skimming. Once I took the time to actually read it, I was hooked. This manga knows what it is about and executes it well, but you can’t just skim, you got to read it.
I would describe Keishi Nishikida’s art as conventional, but Keishi can really turn it up and does on many occasions.
In addition to the manga, there is also a Grapara live action series, which goes much softer than the manga, but even the actresses involved in it are now releasing photobooks because of the show, life imitating art.
The goal for the series is to release about a volume a month and catchup to the current release.
If this series gets taken down in the future, I would suggest joining our discord to see where we will be releasing.
