[hugorito420]

I heard people said this show just ass as this one

It is better than Grapara and it sold more than 8 millions of copies and have many spin offs.This one is hella popular compared to Grapara and she always can get something with Karami Zakari.(It is bad too)

The audience knows what they're getting with KZ and what Airi does works very well here.

GraPara is more shocking in that Airi somehow didn't know her audience after 3 years, but to be fair the rinse/repeat pattern was going to not work especially after 102...but the execution to take the story to a "higher" level needed to be way better than whatever we got.

GraPara is more shocking in that Airi somehow didn't know her audience after 3 years, but to be fair the rinse/repeat pattern was starting to not work especially after 102...but the execution to take the story to a "higher" level needed to be way better than whatever we got that led to the axing.

She tried a NTR doujinshi style after 102 on a mainstream manga and she failed in high levels.And she forgot thatbliterally the big part of the public from didn't know her previous work and are romcom fans,so literally failed in read what kind of public she is working.

100%.

In the end GraPara!'s "failing" only causes Airi fail to expand her audience as much and she could've with a better ending. I think the real winner here is the artist. Airi will be more than fine.

Wonder when artist will change their pfp from Sakura on X, oomf. Going to miss this cast, bonus chapter please don't fail us.

Airi lost a potential public expansion with the story but she'll be okay because of her inifinite farm in "Karami Zakari".

The artist won 100% because most of the people are praising his work.

If Airi really understand that they hated the ending maybe she'll do a good bonus chapter to compesate the mess ending.(maybe being too hopeful)

At least she acknowledges that the readers didn't like the ending.

If it had 3~4 more pages the ending could've maybe been better, but when you compound the fact that they portray Shinobu as a cuck in the only ShiKura interaction we get this whole volume, and they're not even shown to talk to each other (not counting offscreen) outside of a greeting, it's really confusing choices made.

If she didn't treat Shinobu as a cuck it would help a lot.The Shikura interaction being only treated in the last 2 pages was kinda questionable too.

If she didn't draw that last devilish pannel it would help too.

Right. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 45 was so damn good that it made me completely forget about all the stupid shit in Grapara—until I saw Katsura Airi post on X and remembered, “Oh yeah, I almost forgot this shitty series only just ended.”

P.S. It’s pretty funny that a shonen action series focused on characters showing off and aura farming somehow has more romantic elements than a series that’s actually tagged as a romcom. LoL

Fuck it was more shocking than 129 better just be a different future outcome. Well we know she survives at least.

Some comments from MagaPoke.

There are many aspects that feel incomplete, but the smiles on their faces knowing their dream has come true and they're reunited after so many years are truly moving. If she had remained his manager, they would never have reached this future. Therefore, the ending, where even the breakup was a necessary step for their true reunion, is excellent. It's a rare and unexpected happy ending from Professor Airi, who usually prefers bittersweet endings. Furthermore, seeing Shinobu's tears in this scene, something he never shows no matter how painful things are, is incredibly moving.

Another perspective.

It's truly amazing how different people interpret the ending. I don't think the final scene is Shinobu realizing she's been cheated on, but rather the moment their feelings reconnect, and it feels like the light in Sakura's eyes, which had disappeared since she started to suspect, has returned. I hope they include an epilogue in the collected volumes... There must be a missing chapter in the collected volumes. Even without an epilogue, I want to believe they'll hold hands again and get back together.

Interesting take on things. I think her latest post has to do with her latest repost. Not going to lie I chuckled when I saw it was not expecting that from her she may have found a new fetish lol. Arir re-posted BDSM! Lol

I think that after such an impressive scene from her, there’ll definitely be even more viewers cheering to “break that sword.” LoL

Her and what's his name have a kid though don't they or is that not cannon now?

As for that part, I still think it’s cannon, since it’s connected to the content of the novel and one-shot manga.

Fascinating cope as Shinobu's face is a VERY by the book (almost meme tier) cuck stare. Dude must have the absolute worse case of sunkcost to be able to come up with this headcanon. I hope Airi sees this so she can bullshit her way through using it in the future since i'm %100 sure even she was not aware how this reader managed to arrive to this take. This happens a lot in animanga community. Readers are so butthurt about their low IQ series that they come up with anything possible to make it look smarter than it actually is. Mangadex has this on severe degrees as well. You can see people writing down the most unhinged tirades about the most braindead smut.

This ep was probably the future Ywach saw that wasn't shown in the manga. Kubo is now the lead man for the anime so he is adding scenes that he couldn't fit in the manga. The ending will still be the same... You forgot we still have the "Hell arc" after this one? I wouldn't be surprised that it will be finished in the anime, maybe like a movie trilogy or something. The money that can make would be insane lol

most her follower on X are bot and every post she post are people just shit talking her and even the people that are paying to read also shit talking how bad the ending and she just pretend like nothing happen she doesn't even have a large fan base most people just look at her work just to slander it, if she have large fan base her work must be good well you can see that her work is abysmal she only famously known for writing shit story

You said like a friend of mine who mentioned that there are a few X accounts cheering for Airi Katsura (sensei) and also replying to everyone in the name of her (defending her). Their acting as if they were right there in the same house with her as their replies were the same things as AK (sensei) being crazy about NTR and never accept any fact even the fake ranking news she posted ! LOL

Upon closer inspection, my friend said these accounts had been inactive since 2022, only to suddenly spring back to life over the past two months specifically to reply to people on X on behalf of AK (sensei).

Isn't it strange to go silent for years then only to suddenly become active again just to respond to negative message against AK (sensei)?

I don't follow her X or read AK (sensei)'s X unless you guys gave me the links that interesting messages were shown. But if anyone does follow her, you might check whether what my friend said holds water.

If it turns out to be true, it might not be a bot. She may just hire someone to handle the replies or perhaps they are simply other accounts of hers she rarely used.

Hijacking this thread to talk about Isso Anata ga Todome wo Sashite...
The latest chapter is so horrible! It's great! But so horrible. Once again MC is there, thinking only about himself, pushing the FMC's buttons under the pretense "let's just be friends."
The FMC's friends really warn her about it and speak what friends would speak, unlike other characters in a work we all know.
Does the FMC listen? Kinda. She realizes she still let's the MC lead her by the nose and takes a stance that clearly shows she wants distance. As always, the MC, when he is not getting his way, grabs her arm and tells her "i love you" basically saying he's been lying to her the whole time about wanting to be friends.
It's so painfully realistic. He's toxic without being evil, she's dumb without being stupid, iykwim...
Anyway, manga town dot com has up until Ch. 23.... the events above are Ch. 29.

There is only one account I was somewhat suspect at as being her burner. That was the only account she was responding to and instantly liking it immediately after that account responded. It also has some hallmarks of a burner. I dont think there are literal bots or hired people defending her though, just NTR bros and some woman it seems like.

I like how a lot of these posts on here now have nothing to do with Grapara anymore lol

 

[SS-2010]

That is true but there some true haters there too but the most part of hate are on mangapoke site.(many of them are getting deleted)

If Airi didn't talk nothing on her X maybe she wouldn't suffering that hate and maybe in 1 or 2 days most of them would forget that.Pretty bad move for her but at least she had the decent attitude to ask the people to not attack the artist,that is a good point for her.

Even you fell into Airi Katsura (sensei)'s trick like @Alsatia but I didn't blame you or nothing. It's because you guys have a kind heart but you just gave it to a wrong person,AK (sensei). So sad.

I've said before that if she truly cares him, she wouldn't act like this because Grapara is his only source of income while she's earned from Karami Zakari all the time.
