Man tomorrow should be one interesting day may be the last time this manga is interesting depending on how things go will she fully shut the door on shinobu and sakura? Will we finally go full fumi or will the story take a darker and stupider route.

On another note Wednesdays suck nothing interesting comes out on Wednesday.
God I really want there to be a hint of some sort that Sakura isn't fully gone.

I just can't stomach her not learning the truth and how she'll react to it. I doubt it'll be next chapter.. or maybe it will be depending on how rushed it is.

But it needs to happen before the Fumi sex scene. Otherwise it would ruin the point of Shinobu's loyalty. It doesn't sit right with me for him to sleep with Fumi and Sakura learning the truth AFTER. It would hit much harder if Sakura finds out and learns further that Shinobu hasn't been doing anything with any woman unlike her with Yuma.

Lot of this will hinge on Airi's ultimate plan and her ability as a writer which everyone dunks on, but you do have to admit even in the state she's written the story into she's left enough plot devices lying around that the story can still swing back and forth as the author wills it. Shinobu will not be getting together with Fumi I don't think, even with time skip its and given what happened because of Fumi, Shinobu just mentally will not be able to commit. Also them getting together will make it incredible awkward if SakuraXfuccboi do come into picture, because to them at least it will empower them to feel justified about what they did even if the timeline was way off.

I expect the fall to be completed which is why many will be disappointed tomorrow.

Let's leave this at the 50/50. if the NTR completes then that will absolutely doom this manga and it'll just head towards a predictable ending which will be lame for both author and readers, whereas right now with some twists and turns it still has room to move the story in different directions. Might not even get Sakura PoV or any additional info at all in 132 if author wants to keep stretching that out.

It's not even 50/50 it's clear the author has put her netorare fetish above the story she has said she doesn't care about what her readers think at all and she will write the story how she wants it which is fair but don't get mad when people criticize your writing because you write the same story with the same plot devices over and over again netorare requires your characters to be stupid.

If the doors all shut but one then I will agree to this, but for now there's still reasons enough to believe there's still wiggle room for the story so we can still afford of author a sliver of faith instead of dooming the story from here, the movie arc should be quite fun barring some tasteless reveals.

I definitely feel like only the last panel will have Sakura just to keep the readers hooked with the mystery :pepehmm:. To me, it looks like she will be delaying giving sakura some screentime because she wants the reader's feelings (hatred, to be specific) to be subsided over time. Right now, even if she gives Sakura redemption, the readers will still hate it more than if she decides to do it after a week or so. But this is considering she is still sane and is not trying to force fuck the ending due to her small-mindedness, pettiness and deteriorating relation with the publishers and the readers. I hope she shows some maturity to criticism which is expected of writer (I HIGHLY FUCKING DOUBT IT THO :dogkek: ).

Didn’t we say that about last chapter?
The last chapter we were largely speculating what Shinobu's response would be and what he had to do at the cafe, and he ultimately took the retreat option and now with this chapter we're given a time skip and only know that Shinobu right now has a golden opporutnity and Fumi throwing herself at him. It'll change from chapter to chapter how we fell but 132 looks definitively like the one that will set the the tone for the rest of the story as we see how the rest of the cast has been doing bts.

Then maybe she shouldn't have become a writer if she can't handle the criticism :pepehmm:

Katsura Airi is trying to create a story she thinks isn't out there yet at the end of the day, "spiting" readers is the unintended byproduct of it more often than not. The majority of readers are normal to assume the worst now with the remainder story in GraPara! with how things are looking but don't accept it as a fact, because this is a work of fiction and things can rapidly change. Point is, keeping an ever so tiny smidgeon of hope for something more can help you feel better, and in end if you were right about the trash ending you can feel extra better about that.

This is her golden opportunity to show her writing talent and potential.

Even Reiji Miyajima had his shine in the movie arc of rent-a-girlfriend.

Maybe.. just maybe this will be Airi's moment. It's all up in the air until tomorrow.

I think we have shown that yes this story has been made before how to sabotage your own manga because you couldn't control your fetish.

Well that's the nail right on the head there.
