Well Katsura Airi needed no pushing, heard it was the Editor's idea and they're a pretty new Editor so maybe they thought they were helping Katsura Airi out by suggesting she explore her roots a bit more for this story beyond just the NTR baits. My last bit of hope is that they actually thought further ahead for the story so we still have some things to look forward beyond a ShiFumi consolation ship ending.
I'm sorry if you already wrote it, but i didn't see it, since you are pretty much the only Team Sakura player right now, how would you fix this to make everyone happy? How do you see the ending play out? Any bullshit retcon is acceptable...

Readers are therefore confused as they try to find a rational explanation for the author's irrationality.
I think there is a tendency for hentai authors to just make the characters behave in the way that leads to the intended outcome regardless of sense and logic. Since hentai readers just want to jer... pardon... just want the pay-off, it doesn't matter.

That's why the girl gets blackmailed with a photo, or the wife never asks the husband if he really made that big mistake at work.

This is manga and manga readers tend to want a bit more logic and skill in the works they read. So many are like "wut?"

It's really as if Katsura Airi thought she was writing a doujin from 127 forward...

It would require a brilliant execution of the movie arc we could be looking at with the end of this chapter. This also hinges on Sakura and fuckboi not being in a romantic/loving relatiionship post time skip but assuming pg 9 affirms this its a bit tough without author rugpulling that moment as being just fuckboi and another similar looking side chick. Shinobu will also probably have to reject Fumi here in order for the script he writes to be that much more significant as his heart will still be fully set on Sakura. In short, the movie must reveal the truth in a brilliant way, and we need another layer to fuckboi's character that we don't have right now to justify splitting fuckboiXSakura apart even if they are in a mutually loving relationship after all these months. Ultimately in the end if it somehow plays out like this, Fumi enjoyers can look forward to a spinoff or bonus chapter because the manga will have made an interesting level of recovery. GraPara! is a more mature romance that always danced between the lines of ntr rom-com so things can still change.

The fucboy is a real good guy (in the sense of truly loving Sakura) as you can see in chapter 124.

Well, he did feel bad for confessing because he knew it would make it harder for Sakura.

But then, when he saw Sakura hesitating and calling Shinobu's name he just shoved it in, making it harder for himself (lol). Which is what a guy who truly loves a woman will do the moment he sense any hesitation on her part.

The lip service of 124 doesn't really match the forcefulness of 129, but I chalk that to Katsura Airi forgetting she wasn't writing a doujin...

This is very much true, yet with all the blundering around that Katsura Airi has done since, its weird that even now small as it may be we the readers can sort of see a glimmer of a setup in the upcoming chapters that can still flip everything 180. Fuckboi being a skirt chasing cheater who sets up girls he lands in different rooms in his agency dorm on a rotation, the movie drawing in all the relevant parties for one final confrontation, the truth finally coming out, and some other things I'm missing but the doors are there, and with all the bs Katsura has already done, they shouldn't start getting cold feet about it now if they want to put it in reverse. Of all the possible endings I truly believe accepting Fumi route to be the lamest but tamest one to wrap things up quickly so I'm all against it.

Team Sakura to the end, but at this point I've also adjusted well enough that even if things don't go according to what I want. My minimum before the manga ends is that I'd like Sakura to know the Shinobu never stopped keeping her best interests at the forefront of his mind in everything that he did for her, down to the breakup where she in her emotional frenzy was the one who refused to give him a single chance to explain a thing. Sakura is now surrounded by industry wolves and Fuckboi will protect her fine but he'll have his own jobs to deal with and they might not always be together. Nothing is sadder then leaving this manga off at the reality of Sakura never learning the truth. I do believe those telling me the 131 is the last time we see fuckboiXSakura but a small part of me will remain stubborn yet.

Here's a funny what-if scenario. Fuckboi is handsome af, probably has tons of female fans. Not too hard to imagine one of these female fans (or flings) going stalker mode, catch fuckboi and Sakura together and then they lose their mind, confront the pair, and try to stab Sakura in anger. Fuckboi will be shocked and can't move in the moment, and Shinobu will appear at the 11th hour by the power of plot convenience and save Sakura again.

Speaking of this, research in the field of criminology actually shows that good-looking people receive lighter sentences or avoid punishment altogether. This goes to show that society isn't as fair as we claim. So, you're right.
Oh yea I remember this. Like how a few years ago this person killed a small family in a car accident but because he was so handsome, a lot of girls were wanting to protect him BECAUSE he was a good looking guy.

There is a lot of speculation but I think we can all agree that the story as of 131 is a mess.
Plot holes abound and panels are used to obfuscate the plot rather than convey it. Characters react in a stupid way or not react at all when it's clear they would.

It's never good when the reader has to make baseless assumptions on what happened behind the curtains for a story to make sense.

The only "advantage" resulting from this mess is that the story is now extremely open ended. She can make it look like anything.

Spitballing some scenarios that could happen (some of them only if the mangaka loses her mind):

  • fuccboi truly loves Sakura and just want to be with her
  • fumi and fuccboi colluded to split Shikura
  • fuccboi played the blonde so she would help him nail Sakura
  • Shifumi end up together and Sakura ends up alone
  • fuccboi marries Sakura but she longs for Shinobu
  • Shinobu ends up alone but highly successful
  • Sakura learns the truth, dumps fuccboi and chases Shinobu
  • Sakura learns the truth, doubles down with fuccboi so that Shinobu can move on
  • Sakura learns the truth, dumps fuccboi and degrades herself as penance
  • Fumi starts dating Shinobu and gets pregnant
  • Fumi stops Sakura from getting back with Shinobu, clearly NTR'ing him from Sakura
  • etc...

Some of these are more nonsense than others but any of these could happen from the clusterfuck of the last 5 chapters.

I was never invested in this story because I don't hate myself but I have to admit that I can hardly wait for 132 just to see if Katsura Airi digs herself of the hole or further punches her own tits.

What a time to be alive!

If mangakas lost the power of plot convenience, there would be 45% less manga and 92% less hentai in the world.

Perfectly phrased. I also just wanna know if airi is dumb dumb or actuially tries to make a logical conclusion. I bet its the first one and she throws away any common sense of the characters but who knows.

i've been reading the last pages on this forum, and some of you're getting to ridiculous levels of defending Sakura with that delusion of RAPE. there's NO rape in the last 5 chapters at all.
No need to take it too seriously, we know Katsura isn't touching this topic with a 10 ft pole, just ended up discussing for the heck of it. Feel free to take up whichever viewpoint you like on it there' arguments aplenty for both sides to play around with. If fuckboi was half the man Shinobu was he would've asked Sakura if it was ok at any point, but never did.

Well, you never know what that woman is thinking... the end of Karami Zakari hentai show a broken Kousei but a happy one. He likes to hear Iida's stories and is happy in his relationship with his hand.

Then she releases the third bangaihen where Kousei for some reason hasn't been with Iida in a long time, somehow is in a conventional relationship with a normie and his about to get married.

Meeting Iida at the class reunion, they barely talk to each other but both silently agree to one last cucking session for the road.

In his wedding day, for some reason only explainable by a psychiatrist, Iida facetimes an orgy making him very happy until he disconnects the call because is time to get married.

Much profound, such deep. I do admit I kinda liked it because at least we see that Iida is as drawn to Kousei as he was to her.

And because Kousei seemed to be a one woman cuck, meaning, he moves away from Iida to live a less destructive life with a woman who doesn't gift him a bouquet of cocks.

You know if we get no sakura point of view next chapter I think it will be very safe to say that yes sakura is no longer apart of shinobu's story anymore and it's best to just forget her at this time she will not be coming back to him at all and wouldn't really deserve to. So saying that chapter 132 will allmost certainly tell us where the story goes from here both with what it's going show us and what it will not show us.

Fair, GraPara! will have been a great manga that ended at 102, and anything beyond that was GraPara 2! I will say that even if next chapter there's no sighting of Sakura the final chance will be if we see the casting for the movie and get to see some of the production process, this will be the final window outside of some random encounter out in the city ofc.

Even if we get Sakura's PoV it will probably be a faux deep train of thought full of vague statements that will inform absolutely nothing about where she is and what is she doing.
