Girl Friend

So since nobody has really explained it, I think I will.

 

NTR, or netorare, is similar to the western concept of a cuckold. It's not just that you're cheating on your loved one, but you somehow get off on the perverse notion that they are watching and know that you're cheating on them. Sometimes it involves rape and mindbreak. It's the worst form of mindfuckery.

 

Think of it this way: In NTR, the villain ALWAYS wins.

 

I dislike it because I'd rather not get high blood pressure. Some people are into it. Whatever floats your boat.

Love is dead!

Ya. Like Mephyre says, NTR is not just cheating, it's a much more specific and messed-up concept. When people started crying "NTR" all the time I went and looked it up. I gather it involves a character cheating in such a way as to deliberately set up their original partner to catch them in the act, so as to arouse partner's jealousy (either just to hurt them, or in an attempt to excite their possessiveness and passion).
I've never seen it actually happen in a manga, and I've read a few. I hear it happens in hentai sometimes. Certainly, none of the times I've seen people shriek "NTR! NTR! Wolf! Wolf!" on Batoto threads has there ever actually been any. I'm sure this is the same.
So if you want to say a manga has cheating in it, just say that already. I know, I know, it doesn't have the same dramatic frisson, but it also won't be trolling.

I can't believe people are actually calling this NTR, as if it's just simple cheating. It just means people have NO idea how truly rage inducing and fucked up an actual netorare is, because this is nothing compared to the real thing. No, it's actually very pleasant compared to it.

Maybe you might understand what it is supposed to be, when you can feel your blood boiling and you hear the sound of you heart beating in anger after going through the story, might as well have an utter desire to open a hole in the head of one or more characters. That would be more like it.

Seriously, no kidding, you guys are mistaken.

NTR wussies.

@aerobaka NTR stands for netorare. It basically means "cuckold". It's when a girl/boy already in a relationship cheats on the other or, more often in hentai, is raped by another, provoking jealousy in the reader. I just find it unpleasant.

this is more along the lines of cheating, not so much ntr. it gets pretty close tho.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what does NTR mean?

Glad I read the comments. NTR is the one genre of manga I avoid like the plague.

so relationships in Japan are a big NTR fest?

Hmm... Indeed... The rage is strong in this one.

if for some reason you wanna read near 100% ntr (legit fukin ntr), read this

yeah, this one have ntr for sure. bittersweet manga
