GraPara! - Ch. 130 - Please Look Only at Me

I thought that maybe I was the wrong person I have been consistent about fumi being best girl a little obsessed many e but in a good way hopefully that will keep her out of situations like sakura's.

They've seen our profiles so many times in the section that we're blending into one. That means welcome to the Sakura train friend.

No. fuck no. its all team fumi. And fuck bakara airi too.

 

[diphuc1]

Oh true, I didn't think of that. My thought is it would only be shown that he was lying here. We'll just have to wait till tomorrow to see what happens!

I wish he was lying about that, but the setup, and considering the state Sakura was in, it's hard to believe it could anything other than reality.

Time to get them 130 redraws put out, although on second thought they could just adjust the last panel to something like "are in love" or something.

Hmm, I don't think that change would be necessary. If the fuckboi is looking to make an impact, I think it's better to say they had sex than that we're in love, no?

Baka, aho. ( ͡°⊖ ͡°)

Never in my intention to downplay the act of cheating, could have chosen words better, the goal was to say that cheating, while incredibly hard to ever forgive, is not impossible to and it comes down to how the couple feels. True Shinobu has done a lot more laboring for Sakura, while what Sakura gives back to Shinobu isn't really noticeable, but she provided him with an emotional support anchor that empowered him to keep doing what he was able to do.

What makes the way this affair is depicted so uncomfortable is this: the psychological description is extremely sparse, and it ends directly with daybreak and the “cleaning up of the battlefield.” This makes readers feel as if they have been forcibly pulled into Shinobu-kun’s perspective—in other words, even readers with a God’s-eye view have no right to know what exactly happened that night. It becomes entirely the purely private activity of this man and woman, an experience that had never occurred in the earlier chapters. A cold, ruthless blank space can have the effect of a nuclear bomb.

100%, the suggested change would just allow for the possibility of 129 being fuckboi's imagination going so wild it spilled back into 128 too.

She fucked him all night that's it.

No wait. Bakara ahoi

You can't get fucked with out getting...oh fuck it. Let's be real though, fuckboi was the one doing 99% of the fucking work, Sakura was just blanked out like she usually does in these situations, just letting him do whatever he wanted for however long he wanted.

Interesting perspective, never saw it this way. Also feel free to not answer if this is too personal but are you a JP bro or a fellow Overseas fan, saw one of your earlier posts translating some of the original text for this manga which revealed some things that TL's might miss in the process. Also your style of writing so well organized, powerful and insightful it's more than impressive to me (btw I slept through every single English and creative writing course so bite me).

That's the Japanese women thing to do something about being embarrassed about feeling pleasure for m the act of sex.

Might be an asian thing in general, unsure.

Physical cheating almost always begins with emotional cheating.

In fact, looking back at the story after Chapter 109, you’ll find that the author very neatly uses a synchronized approach to start Shinobu-kun and Sakura’s journey into emotional cheating, with each of them forming a deeper bond with the important new characters of this section—Nakanishi-kun and Fumi.

Nakanishi-kun vs. Sakura: Because Shinobu-kun went to the celebration party and was not there to accompany her, Nakanishi-kun and Sakura spent the whole night looking for the lost necklace. Early the next morning, Nakanishi-kun took Sakura home, and from then on the two of them began communicating more often. In Sakura’s mind, she came to see Nakanishi-kun as a good person.

Shinobu-kun vs. Fumi: On the day of the celebration party, Shinobu-kun got drunk and slept at Fumi’s place that night. Several shots were very suggestive, and then it was morning. What happened during the night was never explained at all; we only saw Shinobu-kun lying bare-chested beside Fumi, who was wearing only underwear. From then on, Fumi became the main figure in Shinobu-kun’s wandering thoughts.

Chapter 109 is practically a mirror image of Chapter 129:

Chapter 109: Nakanishi-kun and Sakura searched outside all night, until dawn.
Chapter 129: Shinobu-kun and Fumi searched outside all night, until dawn.

Chapter 109: (The male protagonist is taken to the supporting female character’s room.) Shinobu-kun and Fumi spend the night on the same bed in a suggestive atmosphere, one of them not fully conscious and the other fully awake. The process in between is left unshown; we only see the beginning and the result. Since the one who was conscious was the passive supporting female character, there was no physical cheating, and Shinobu-kun chose to hide what happened.

Now that the supporting male character has told the male lead the truth, I think the supporting female character will reveal the truth to the female lead too—it's probably all meant to mirror each other.
