GraPara! - Vol. 14 Ch. 135 - Sex Scenes

[Stardink]

Are you saying that it's possible to do a story about the dark side of the gravure industry and NOT have the main heroin not succumb to that industry? It's not character assassination if it was inevitable based on the story and the characters around her.

To be more specific it could of been a manga where the main heroine gets into constant, frequent intimate encounters due to her job on set, this does not particulary pertain to gravure, but things like acting with intimate scenes, or even straight up porn, and the Manga can just be about how the characters navigate it emotionally and the drama that comes with it. I just think this would of been much better, mainly because this is something that many people deal with irl and could be like a commentary looking into it. airi could still technically get what she wants, while building characters in a proper manner and tell a compelling story, the main thing is that It couldn't really be a romantic comedy

 

[diphuc1]

What romcom? No comedy in this outside of a sneeze while Sakura is talking shit, or dude getting hit by a truck after she sucks his d

I was saying the bulk of the rom-com got moved into the bonus chapters basically. Funny that you bring up that one sneeze gag in 133, hasn't been a hint of rom-com in the main storyline since.

Long as they don't keep spamming the info or copy/pasta over and over I'd say once or twice is fine if one must vent in this way but it's not worth the effort in the long run to make it a campaign

Unfortunaly this people will harass her for whole two weeks.

I think it could be more a hentai than a regular anime.Airi would have the bet time of her life producing this.

I can see her going the "I can't believe it's not hentai!" route like Slave Harem, Redo of Healer and that monster girl review animes. It's doable since the genitalia is censored anyway.

They could also go the Nukitashi route if they really wanna go all out.

But i think that will take time if this gets an anime.I think is more likely a season 2 of the live action.

Katsura has literally spent the whole day bragging in her posts that volume 13 of Grapara is number 1 in sales 😂, which makes me wonder: why the desperation to prove that the volume is supposedly a hit?

What dark humor?,it was just a stupid NTR humor that almost nobody found funny.The synopsis literally said NTR Comedy Romance,so we already now the NTR would come but she literally take so much time to that happen.(120+) that many tought that would be only NTR baits.

And you say that Airi has no fault to the publisher,everything that was promoted literally passed by her hands before that be allowed and probably the synopisis was Airi herself that created,had the idea of manga and allowed that to be tagged as a romcom.So yes she is in totally fault for that happen.

Comedy is subjective but If you want my opinion I did find toppy almost getting killed pretty funny. Some moments with Chico and a moment with Sakura cooking and reading fan comments.
And WORNG again on the "it took 120+ chapters" Shinobu isn't the only female character in the manga. There was those lesbians that ended up being NTR. The story didn't specify it was ONLY Sakura getting NTR.

AGAIN I swear your guys started from Chapter 85 or 90 and went from there didn't even read the damn manga just crying over nothing.

Maybe but last I heard the Sakura actress quit all together.

An anime is certainly possible regardless. They could save the bonus chapters/NTR scenes (like Nagi and the yacht girl) as OVA episodes and have them skipped in the anime episodes but still leave the baits and nudity that comes with it.

I definitely read it from the beginning! I was fine with Sakura being in all the baits since the side girls were all the ones being in the true NTR moments.

I think what they're upset with is the fact that it took Sakura herself this long to fall into it, and even then it didn't feel proper. It would have been proper had it been with Toppy and the producer maybe. It was just done poorly and gave us the impression that Sakura was going to get into more intense baits but never cross the line (penetration).

The whole premise was Shinobu protecting Sakura. Instead he failed because of a misunderstanding that, at this point, may never get resolved. The scene with Sakura and Yuma feels more like a cheating scene than NTR, to me personally. I know others share that same view too.

I'm more disappointed Mio disappeared this chapter (please comeback queen). Other than that everything will be just fine in 2 weeks I feel, we can have our fun "crying", or making fun of some of the people crying long as we keep it in good humor in the end unlike KA.

She is a narcissist who needs attention her work should speak for its self.

She needs affirmation.

I can totally see that. I do think the manga did try though. In the early chapters for example one guy is filling up Sakura and calling the gravure actresses "Products" and Shinobu steps in and goes "they aren't products they are people"

That was like chapter 5 but there was NO RomCom since chapter 100 something drrr I swear I read the manga~

Please don't do something so sloppy as having Fumi's futile efforts cut out in the final episode, causing her to cry and get angry, and then leave Shinobu... It's not a line from Nakanishi's scene, but it's likely that Shinobu's intentions won't be understood. It's scary to think that Shinobu might end up in a tragic situation, with Sakura becoming famous for her sex scenes, Shinobu's movie failing to gain any traction, and his relationship with Fumi falling apart. This time, the scene with the shooting star was meant for Shinobu and Sakura to hear... The only remaining hope is that they'll meet again a few years later as director and actress.

So, the misunderstanding will remain unresolved in the end? It's really disappointing that they didn't write about what the readers most wanted to see.

Fumi always seems to go off the rails, doesn't she? It looks like Shinobu might be the one to break up with her. I wonder if Sakura and Shinobu will all go their separate ways and each achieve their own goals, and it will all end happily ever after.

The author probably dislikes guys like Shinobu, kind but oblivious and insensitive men.

For now, it seems hopeless that they'll ever meet in person and make up, but it's a relief to know that even though they've broken up, the memories and bond they shared, working together hand in hand, remain deeply rooted in both Sakura and Shinobu. I was also really happy to see Sakura's gift come into play here. With this, I think I can accept whatever the ending may be in the final episode.

I hate it so much, I don't know if it's because of the job or what, but all the girls around Shinobu are way too assertive, it's annoying! It's just plain irritating to watch! Don't get so worked up over something like a pen.

I wonder if the next one will be in a few years... It's going to be frustrating. They're talking about it like some kind of scumbag Nishimi story, but it's really just a cheating sex scene (lol). Fumi-chan takes her clothes off, so I wonder if they'll show it like that? I wonder which one will be a bigger hit, this or Sakura? It doesn't look like there will be a satisfying ending...

It feels like it's ending abruptly, almost like it's been cancelled. If that's the case, I don't really like how it always ends...

In the end, I think this author has no talent for writing stories. They should just stick to drawing porn.

Shinobu made a storyboard for Fumi, but her jealousy towards Sakura got the better of her and ruined it. It's so obvious that the movie is secondary and her actions are driven solely by her love for Shinobu. She did almost exactly the same thing as Yuma who completely rejected the love scene, and it's clear that she's just as possessive as Yuma. Of course, even if they exchanged contact information, there's no way she'd bother to clear up a misunderstanding about the kiss, so they'll definitely cut the scene and Shinobu will gently reason with Fumi. I'm sure Ryusei's advice from this episode will come into play next time, but will there be enough pages for the final episode? (laughs)

I want Fumi-chan to awaken to something and become an AV actress, and then in a spin-off, I want her to be fucked by all the characters that have appeared so far, like the director, Toppy, Mu-tan, and the YouTuber. I want to see Fumi-chan cumming like crazy, squirting like crazy, and going wild. This will complete my NTR fantasy lol

Funny because the camera guy was actually just a gay guy in the end and super professional, overall this manga did have more good beats to it than the bad I think, but the recency bias and a poor ending might hurt it more in the end.

I read that since the island arc so i have saw many chapters for that and i was talking about the NTR of the main couple it took 120+ chapters with a bunch of baits and was for a stupid reason,forced and bad executed.

And many people in Japan didn't considered that a NTR,just a cheating act from Sakura(i discorvered that exists this diffrent concepts).For a whole mouth they were hating on Sakura,Fuckboi and Airi herself.

So she literally got a HUGE hate from the her niche(NTR) and from new readers that is not used with her works and came for the romcom part.And made these two pure opposites united to hate on the manga.

So it was not hated for nothing,Airi literally mess up everything because of her lack of ability to write a decent manga without messing up in the end.And she got a axed manga because she wasn't handle to fix things.(well deserved)

 

[anonnutter]

okay heres my take on this whole Katsuro Airi and the axe of this series.

Firstly this manga could've been in par with with metamorphosis in terms of actually everything of how bad it is lol ts had the potential to be one of the worse in h-manga ntr genres out there and of course I can't blame the editor that they axed the series because of how dogsht it is. Ngl it was fun when it lasted for the fp material.

Secondly I kid you not women author/writer and ntr genre DO NOT MIX the biggest example of course is this manga series lol this has to be the biggest blunder of the century and probably be one of the if most worse top 10 mangas I've read in a so long lol rip to the artist the artist was good lol

Lastly I'm making a Fumi chatbot in Janitor Ai just to do her justice cuz I am expecting alot of backlash coming from this week until the last chapter and after it also my 100 yen is gone. Im making the bot after the story has concluded cuz I got alot of sht to do and of course Fumi chan has good design ngl it would been a waste not to make her a bot in a happy ending situation

 

[box2024]

You know all shinobu has to do is tell fumi he loves her that's it that's what it will take who wants to bet that will not happen next chapter.

Funny because the camera guy was actually just a gay guy in the end and super professional, overall this manga did have more good beats to it than the bad I think, but the recency bias and a poor ending might hurt it more in the end.

My assumption when first reading was that that the. whole manga was going to be a bunch of haha just kidding ntr baits in different scenerios that would lead to maybe a semi serious ntr bait with a big relief and haha funny, with a mediocre comedy ending, and that would of been fine....regrettably the goon was too strong for airi to resist
