She also said that receiving complaints from those who read pirated copies is like "stealing food from a market, eating without paying, and then going to complain to the chef that the food was bad."what do you think?
>>290366185she's right
>>290366185she's based
>>290366185>what do you think?Stupid bitch. Since when do markets have chefs?
>>290366185>Write a ntr manga>Get cucked out of money>Bull harrases you cause wifey had stdsIts like pottery,I want to hit that bitch with a vase
>>290366185I find it more shocking there's actually creatures who gave a shit about this manga in the first place. They got what they deserve I guess.
>>290366185I don't get why anyone is complaining isn't this what they signed up for
>>290366185Jokes on her, I think it's shit fundamentally. I only showed up for big tiddy megane sex.
>>290366185>asked that the manga illustrator not receive hateI swear I read Wagatsuma but I don't remember much of it,also just checked it again and the art was kinda assAnyway deserved because Wagatsuma was wholesome iirc
>>290366185Refreshingly strong-willed, honest and completely right.Hell, i would fall in love with her, if the danger of getting NTR'd later wasn't a definitive issue later
>>290366185>the only people who hate it are those who didn’t pay for it retarded woman
Truly a modern day woman. Always sticking to her word.I'd be the NTR alpha chad that steals her if she had a beta simp loser boyfriend.
>>290366185>Read shit-ass manga at a library or at a friend's house>Complain about the ending online>LOL because you didn't pay for the manga yourself you must have STOLEN it and are therefore a CRIMINAL and your opinion is discardedWhat a piece of shit
>>290366185>She also said that receiving complaints from those who read pirated copies is like "stealing food from a market, eating without paying, and then going to complain to the chef that the food was bad."Based author telling it how it is.Also people were retarded reading something by Katsura Airi and expecting something else in the first place.
>foid argues like a foid>the woman who is incapable of drawing women taking accountability or experiencing repercussions does so irl toowow what a shock
>>290366185I don't read this crap but>food analogy
>>290366185does this even have a translation? can't find anythingI guess it would compete with Karami Zakari for lowest rating on mangadex then, Karami Zakari is at 3.49
>>290366185Don't lie bitch, you love it when I cuck your money
>>290366185>reading cuckshit>EVER>worse, reading cuckshit WRITTEN BY A WOMAN
>>290366372food markets sell cooked street food anon
>>290370752>worse, reading cuckshit WRITTEN BY A WOMANisn't pretty much all ntr/cuck written by women? it's their fetish
>>290370965written write it as a fantasy of being THAT desireablemen write it as a pathetic coping mechanism
>>290370801>If she'd said "cook" she'd have had a pointShe still wouldn't, and I'm not calling your taco van running 'abuela' a chef anon
>>290366185>gets shit on social media>randomly seethes about piracy in responseIs that her cope? That everyone giving her shit is just a meanie pirate troll?
>>290371182It's the typical foid way to argue "ok sure I cheated on you, but you didn't have to yell about it."
>>290366185>sakura blames shinobu for that forced kiss and has sex with the chad next door instead of talking things through>she is now blaming the fans for the illustrrator hate instead of thinking maybe her writing is dogshit and should get an adviser
for fuck sake post link to read ithttps://comix.to/title/yknr-grapara
>>290366185>bla bla bla I love NTR bla bla blaYYYYYYYABBA DABBA DO!
>>290366185The only reason i read this crap manga were the nice drawings, so i hope that the artist will stick around and keep drawing hentai or at least another borderline h-manga.
what are the complaint about?
>>290366185How would it improve the surprise NTR reader's situation if they had paid for the experience instead?
>>290370542It's on Mangadex dude, each chapter after the NTR has thousands of replies too, like 5000+, I've never seen anything close to that.
>>290373641the actual real complaint from long-time readers is that 129 happens in a really rushed and stupid manner that doesn't match the tone of their story. then it just goes at turbo lightspeed and ends with Sakura getting away with everything and Shinobu being the entire circus
>>290366185I think she's right, people are dumb for reading NTR and then complaining that it is NTR. It's like complaining that a comedy has too many jokes or an action series having too many fights
>>290373936>surprise NTR readerThey knew exactly what they were paying for.
>>290370161>not taking accountability She's literally telling everyone not to dogpile on the artist for her own writing and sticking by what she made. Would apologizing for including ntr in an ntr comedy really be accountability or would it just be bowing down to an audience who already didn't like the premose
Airi definitely cheated and acted like a victim at least twice in her life
Okay, but like, what about the people's opinions of who DID pay for it? What does she think the sales of the series are going to be now? What will it's legacy be? Is anyone going to say>I wish I had a love story like Shinobu and Sakura?This sounds like deflection to me. You go to a site where the chapter is hosted behind an official paywall and read the Japanese comments and they're still pretty negative.
>>290370982>written write it as...lmao go to sleep anon
>>290374703This is another cope I keep seeing NTRfags parrotThis billed itself as an NTR romantic comedy. The joke for the whole series was>Naive and innocent little Sakura keeps ending up in these bad situations with these sketchy directors, producers, actors, and film gigs>Golly gee, Shinobu manages to save her (sonetimes) JUST in the nick of time, before she'd be assaulted or coercedThat was the joke. Whether it's funny or not, who can say. It's hardly "romantic"But then Katsura actually had Sakura commit to the cheating of her own free will and end her relationship in the span of two chapters. Again, where's the humor or romance? The guy she hooks up with ends up dumping her probably in the same fucking month, likewise for Shinobu and Fumi. She only ever delivered on 1/3rd of what was promised on the tin.
>>290374392>mangadex commentersThe lowest of the low. Lower than reddit and lower than troons.
>no confrontation, drama or dealing with the fallout of cheating+breakup Must be a sensitive topic for the author. She just likes cheating part I guess.
>>290366185Based. Completely and totally.If you've ever supported someone for doubling down on an opinion you are obligated to declare her based.>I support the opinions I agree with and and not the conviction behind opinionsOh I see you're a faggot ass bitch nigger.
>>290366185So im cucking her from money? Based
>>290366185I think that the food was bad.
>>290366185>food analogyoy vey...
>>290375302>"Please don't criticise the artist">"It would make me SO upset if you focused criticism on the artist instead of me"She knows exactly what she's doing
>>290366185>what do you think?She's not going to fuck any of the simps white knighting for her in this thread
>>290366185The hate was retarded and predictable. Imagine going into a manga blatantly about NTR baiting and then getting mad about NTR happening.
>>290366185>Complains about people stealing her product>There's no reliable legal source to get her product What a retard.
>>290376239The outrage comes from it being as a romcom with NTR elements. It was neither by the end and she just wrote her usual slop.
>>290372071Yoyo got cucked by Anis!
The only women mangakas worth are the ones who are Yuri fags or shota/lolicon . Like CLAMP
>>290376239The reaction was retarded and predictable. Imagine writing another manga blatantly about NTR baiting and then getting mad that people have the same reaction they did last time.
>>290376298Chapters are actually free to read on the official website lol.
>>290366185based cuck
Reminder: Sakura reflects real women's actual level of loyalty towards their partners.
>>290366185Didn’t read this but she sounds retarded. Typical woman.
>>290366185>pirated copies
This reaction is people's TRUE feelings on NTR, btw. NTR gets a pass and even enjoys some popularity in porn because there, regardless of the fetish or genre, the stories and characters can both be trash, all that matters is>Is the art good?>Are the sex scenes hot?>Are the heroines cute?You think Takeda Hiromitsu would have the success he does with all his gross fetishes or psychotic characters if he didn't refine his art to be as captivating as possible? He's got dozens of copycats and AI prompters coping his style. But in a mainstream series, where people need to find the story engaging and the characters likable (Not to be confused with 'morally good', obviously some morally gray or outright villains are beloved because they're charismatic and entertaining to watch/read), you cannot make a woman who willing cheats on a otherwise good guy be seen as anything other than a villain. You want NTR in a mainstream work? There's only a few ways to do it>Establish it early on, and remove the woman from the series, with the focus being on the guy getting with a far better girl>Have the cheating girl suffer immensly for her affair>Make the heroine's actual relationship be terrible to "justify the cheating", so she's with an abusive piece of shit, or he's outright disinterested in the heroine, or have him already be cheating first>Meanwhile the guy she's cheating with has to actually be a good person who genuinely loves her and wants to make things official with her.There are plenty of successful series based on those last two combined points.
>>290377259People as a whole have never liked NTR, especially true NTR where it involves actively humiliating and making the partner fall apart as they lose their partner. Just plain regular cheating stories aren't NTR which is what your reccommendations are.
>>290377259The problem with NTR kick starting the story, is that either there's not enough time spent on the relationship to make the reader care,or it drags itself out until the NTR development, but in that case you already know the romance is doomed so it become is slog to read
>>290366185Piratesisters...
Grapara was worth it for the chapter where the slut gets to lick the dick of the director and the other dude. That was an incredible fap
This was where Grapara peaked for me, the fat bastard should've impregnated her
>>290376780>Chapters are actually free to read on the official website lol.she's obviously talking about the people reading illegal scanlations you moron, they're all over her twitter
https://mangadex.org/title/c384faed-e34c-4ee0-bd38-70ce5ff146c7It's hilarious how two chapters have over 5k comments each. Fucking each.
>>290366185I have literally not seen any hate towards the artist. Everyone was throwing shit her way, while hoping the artist gets paired up with a better writer in the future. But I guess she's just angry at that, and wants to drag that moid down with her, by making shit up.Hopefully she never gets to write anything in an official manner ever again, and stays in doujin world.Hate from Kazakhstan.
>>290366185>In response to the complaints, she said she has a "steel mentality," but asked that the manga illustrator not receive hate. She also said that receiving complaints from those who read pirated copies is like "stealing food from a market, eating without paying, and then going to complain to the chef that the food was bad."What you gonna do about that?
>>290378429Chapter number?
>>290380372She's not trying to defend the artist, she's hoping to throw him under the bus less people crucify her. It's a typical female tactic >>290376135 is also a foid knower
You can tell even the artist hated this series because he stopped promoting it on twitter well over 2 years ago. Last post about Grapara was on August 2nd 2024, with the latest post just announcing that it's finally done.
>>290381120I will hand it to the artist and his professionalism. Sticking around and dealing with Airi's writing as well as a business partner must not have been easy
>>290381120Kek. That is pretty damning. Still, I can appreciate wanting to work with a high profile writer and wanting to draw a ecchi romcom, but why the fuck would he saddle himself with a NTR heavy story premise. Even in Japan where it's most popular, it's still entirely in porn. It's one of the most devisive fetishes out there.He'd have found greater success drawing for a crossdressing romcom or a futa romcom, or even a ryona romcom. The concept of a "NTR romcom" is so antithetical to itself I struggle to come up with an accurate comparison
>>290368748I mean, the people that paid knew what train they were getting on. Tourists taking free samples don't know any better.
>>290381663I remember seeing in some of the post meltdown threads that he wasn't getting much work before signing onto GraPara.
>>290381667The people who paid for it are the ones who are pissed off. She's just being dishonest about who and why people turned on her
>>290381785there is no way anyone that has read manga before didn't see what it always was
I never heard about this manga until a few days ago.
>>290381828They aren't pissed about the NTR, they're pissed that Sakura went full on fuckmode with the ikeman after the flimsiest of excuses after Shinobu had time and time again put her first and helped her. It was a really bad twist and then Fumi's betrayal really pissed people off again.
>>290381663His previous solo work, Wagatsuma-san, wasn't that popular, but it had it's niche audience. I guess he couldn't land another serialization as a solo author, and working as an assistant doesn't really pay that well, so he might have been approached by an editor if he wanted to pair up with an author for a ntr ROM-COM, but what he got instead was a NTR rom-com. He saw the writing on the wall far too late.Hopefully he gets another shot, either solo or with a better author.
>>290381971Wagatsuma is not a solo work. It has a different guy writing it.
>>290366185
>>290382157My mistake then. I read it a long time ago. Always thought he was the author as well.
>>290381706I don't know the full process, but couldn't he>Go to one of their popular webnovel sites>Find one that's both popular and that he likes>Ask the author if they wanted to collab for a pitch>Show the pitch to his editor/a publisher>Get greenlit for serialization
>>290375811>i-it's not NTR>i-it's an NTR romantic comedy!yeah, all you triggered retards got exactly what you deserved
The number of comments on Mangadex is just unbelievable. For 13 volumes it had less than 20 comments per chapters. Then it spiked to 1400 with chapter 129, and then doubled and tripled over the next 5 chapters. Are they bots?
>>290382712most of the comments are a handful of users using them as chatrooms
>>290381920That's the part that Katsura and the NTR fags either don't get or are pretending to be retarded about. They keep parroting>Dude, it says "NTR" right in the synopsis, lmao, like what did you expect roflGrapara didn't stumble it's way into 130 chapters, obviously people knew what they were getting into and liked it. The premise was>Cute girl keeps getting put into risque situations and BF has to save herAnd that worked. The "NTR" was a joke. It was never meant to really happen, it was always a case of how close will she accidentally get before getting saved.But Sakura genuinely cheated of her own free will and ended the relationship. It would be like a story about an MC having a great last year of highschool, and the story is just that, right up until the last 10 chapters where he ends up getting expelled because a girl made a false rape claim against him, and he ends up a NEET for years with the vague hope of maybe one day getting his life together.
>>290382410You vastly overestimate the amount of fucks anyone who read this gave.
>>290383213>>290382712uh huh
>>290370752Better than one more case of it in real life
>>290378429that was the hottest chapter for sure
damn first time i see actual japanese comments hating on the author and not callign all gaijins retardedshe really fucked up
I guess the artist can look at this all as a blessing in disguise. More than enough people know he's just the artist, and it was his art that carried this series basically from start to finish. This whole controversy will do nothing but elevate his name so now finding work should be easy.The real question is will he be smart enough to choose a better project to attach himself to.
>>290384547I dunno, after 135 chapters he's now "that NTR guy"
>>290378429That was the peak, that made the further developments all the more disappointing. I wanted her first time getting fully NTR'd to happen because she'd been heated white hot and couldn't stand against the sleaziness anymore, not because she was sad her boyfriend kissed another girl. Complete waste of build-up.
