You've got to be kidding? Between chp 129 -131 that's over 5000 comments.

Do you think I save the pictures? If you're interested, go and read through them.

Before this chapter the argument for this is much stronger, but the time skips and now this have made everything fair game.

The main problem is the forced drama that happened one chapter prior. Not a single thing before pointed into the direction that Fumi was feeling inferior to Sakura.

But on Soredemo, we already knew it was a twisted NTR relationship—it already had its own fanbase. In comparison, Grapara had a general audience—fans of rom-coms, NTR, and the general public—but it all went to hell with Chapter 129. Ninety percent of the people who were following it dropped it; only the few NTR fans remained, which is why the volume sold so poorly.

Soredemo wasn’t NTR, it was swinging

Well the comment you are looking for is in chapter 129 or 130 so that narrows it down.

Do you have any data showing how it was doing pre chp 129 compared to post chp 129?

The sellings number were kinda bad before that.Someone posted some chapters ago in the forum.

Exactly! Soredemo was swinging from the start with some cheating drama here and there. You know what you get into from the 1st ch.
While Grapara was promoted as a rom-com, but it was everything else lol

The romcom lasted until chapter 102,after that the manga's self destruction started.

Exactly—in Soredemo, from the very first chapters, we already knew what we were in for. In Grapara, on the other hand, even though there were many NTR moments involving secondary characters the protagonists interacted with, Sakura always came out unscathed, so many of us thought that after 128 chapters, she was going to be saved in chapter 129—which is why the hatred is very justified.

Yep it was a romcom with ntr baits. Once it crossed the Rubicon it ended and changed the whole tone of the manga assassinated sakura's character and was just depressing to read.

There is no official sales data on Kodansha or Oricon. Only top performers get that kind of press treatment. So I don't want to go on a wild goose chase

I think that during the first few volumes, it averaged between 8,000 and 10,000 copies sold; then, during volumes 6–11, it averaged 4,000–6,000 copies sold. Although sales were declining, they remained steady. My prediction for volumes 13–14 is 500–1,000, with volume 14 hopefully reaching 1,000 sales since it’s the volume featuring the NTR plot; it could sell well because of chapters 132–133 and if it has a great ending with Shinobuxfumi and Sakura single.

When looking at the reviews on CMOA, you'll notice that since August, or after Volume 13 was released, the reviews for Grapara have been overwhelmingly negative.

Btw I don't think its sales has come close to her previous work which sold 5-8million copies despite having fewer volumes. Probably why it got axed.

 

[Edway89]

I think Airi will go back to writing strictly NTR none of this "NTR romcom" nonsense that no one is buying.

 

[Apollo_Ibis]

It definitely didn’t get axed because of the "backlash“ because numbers definitely count more than whatever the heck people are complaining about.

It got axed before chapter 129 and chapter 129 was written out of pure spite. That is my personal theory.

Only facts here!!

I checked again after filtering the rankings specifically to shonen manga. Grapara's ranking does improve, but when compared with series that previously ranked lower than it, you can see that Grapara has already fallen out of that group.
