I didn't believe my friend immediately so I read it again. In chapter 127, fucboy's room has a TV set. But in chapter 131 the room is different and no TV set. So, it's Sakura's new room and the photo is not Shinobu's imagination. (Sorry @diphuc1 , it's not Shinobu's imagination for sure.)

IMHO, Grapara was destroyed on purpose. Just as some friends here have said, the author of Gal Cleaning! did the same thing to his work. Airi Katsura wants a bad ending to spite Kodansha.
I didn't buy big stock in it being Shinobu's imagination, to me there's still the slim chance getting ever slimmer there's more to this. 132 will solidifty the direction of the rest of the manga, in the end if its Fumi route, it'll be an okay ending for most in that way so it'll be a good thing.

Hmmm... I can see where it's coming from. For all we know that panel could very well be the "goodbye Sakura" panel as it shows that she's indulged. It'd be sad if that's the case. Being a brutal character murder overall.

But if we assume it's Sakura's new room, that confirms she didn't move in with him afterall. And if he's having to go there for sex then that's probably all it is? But that's just cope lol

Still, that's a good analysis when it comes-- wait are we sure it's not the same room Shinobu is in and he's just imagining it?
It's not Shinobu's room for 100% because the new Sakura's room is modern style but Shinobu's room is Japanese ancient style. Sorry to say this. My friend notices everything in drawings and she explains to me. I went back to read them again and ... she was right!

Does Katsura Airi have a reason to spite Kodansha other than them possibly telling her to curb her twitter game a few weeks ago?

Waiting on the announcement then ig. Best way to read this for any who ask is to pretend it ended at around ch 102. GraPara! was a lot better than Guilty circle, I'm not expecting much but I'd happy if GraPara! gets to go on a bit longer.

If Airi Katsura changes her mind, the story can be fixed. But I'm not sure there is anyone who can convince her to stop destroying Grapara.

So sad. The final outcome might end up being like "Gal Cleaning!" regarding that Kodansha didn't stop the author to destroy herself as well as destroy Grapara.

I appreciate you putting this out here there because that's really all I need, hopium. Even if I was a spiteful writer, to me ending the story like this is pedestrian levels of pathetic and also risking my partnered artists' career and my editor's too. Rather than intentionally trying to destroy GraPara! I'll put some faith in that interview and that this is just Katsura Airi trying to create a story that she doesn't believe is out there yet while having a grander vision of things already in place as for what happens next.

When 132 comes out we will know almost immediately where it's going.

@diphuc1 Remember what you said about there only being one pillow...well this answers it lol
Yea that was a cope angle and a half in retrospect. Nohing I can do but laugh. Even with the room being established as Sakura's it doesn't doom everything for me just yet, just going laugh of some the burned cope and keep believing til I can't anymore atp.

Seriously it was perfect. Yes there were baits but it was all solid.

Why the fuck try to make a "love triangle" when Shinobu worked his ass off for Sakura? Only for that dude to just go "lol" and take her away like it's nothing.

A serious debauchery of her character overall. A serious massacre. For what? What was there to gain? Was it really just to have that one NTR moment? That's nothing new. Every NTR story the good guy loses the girl.

Man I find myself being more pissed off about it (not towards you @SS-2010, you're doing us a service).

This just proves that she had sex with fuckboi after that initial all-nighter and she definitely wouldn't stop lol. It's just typical NTR plot for her at this point. Airi did manage to do something different like she said, SHE FUCKING PISSED OFF BOTH THE NTR ENJOYERS AND THE ROMCOM READERS AT THE SAME FUCKING TIME (which is quite an achievement).

It's these thoughts that make you think the story just isn't over in a few chapters, maybe another entire volume dedicated to the final movie production arc or something. If we think of this story as a mature romance than there's still room to work with it, even with all that's already happened.

Fucking Damn it, I though I was going to have a good sleep tonight, now I am sad and pissed at the same fucking time with a hint of depression creeping in.
Deep breaths, think happy thoughts only, and if your throughts keep creeping back to GraPara! Best I can advise is that remember this is a mature romance of young adults so all is not lost, just that things have moved into a very dark place. Shinobu though ultimately stood backup up, in fact he stood back up in the same chapter that he got knocked down, with the help of some friends and now he has one of the greatest opportunities to pick up where his dreams left off. Things are looking up and up in the manga, just ignore the ships.
