If we imagine Sakura and Shinobu reuniting as manager and actor, that is no longer possible.

However, if "reuniting" simply means they both head out to work in the morning and return to the same home like a married couple who work at different jobs, then that is certainly possible.

It ultimately depends on the author's intentions.

IMHO, the author didn't intend for them to end up together, but I suspect there was pressure from Kodansha due to reader dissatisfactions following chapter 129 reflected in the poor pre-order numbers for the volume 13.

Since Kodansha relies primarily on volume sales, not on online readership, the company certainly wouldn't allow Airi Katsura to simply do whatever she pleased. Consequently, the ending might not be what we’re predicting. This explains the re-appearance of Nagi.
I think the decline in sales for volume 13 may simply be because little of interest happens.

Do Japanese people not understand what cuckolding means?

Anyone complaining about the amazing cuckolding scene in this episode simply doesn't have the talent for it. It's fantastic, isn't it?

I think we are reading two different story's here.

Most readers have lost interest in Sakura. It would be fine if Sakura continued to have a mental breakdown, but given the author's fetishes, it's possible that he's looking forward to the pleasure of driving readers to despair by creating a scenario where Sakura and her ex-boyfriend get back together, which is what the readers don't want.

Yea I can still understand the disgust for Sakura even though I have pity for her.

Airi has to work really hard if she wants to make Sakura redeem herself somehow. She really did screw up with chapter 129.

129 was shocking disgusting and worst of all depressing I have never had a manga cause those feelings before it was more because of the art than anything but I have to give the author credit there for that even if I hated it.

I did end up eventually going through the whole thing. Honestly I look at it more neutrally now.

I will say that when I first read the chapter, the title worried me. I was like "no, surely not." Then I read through it and as soon as it was in the panel where the insertion happened I backed out. I've never felt a gut punch that hard when it came to reading manga.

I was all for the baits... but not the actual act!

Something something mature romance something. What happened definitely wasn't the way to go about it, but in these types of stories, I personally don't know how Katsura Airi feels about it, but it's still possible for MCs to overcome inhumanly impossible odds to reunite (ShiKura ftw) in the ending. For GraPara! right now this goes against the "reader's will", but "reader's will" in a proper story has no impact. We the readers are just here to experience a story that the creator wants to tell/share and having read every other Airi work out there that has a TL, I find myself having a bit of faith in her still because at the surface level you could say her writing is "bad" but in certain aspects it's lot more layered and meaningful depending on how you view it. A plain bad writer would not be able to make a living to the level that Airi has imo, the creativity is there (looking at you Karamizakari BL holy).

Wild prediction for the conclusion of this manga if there are only 3-4 chapters left is going to be a semi satisfying ending for Sakura.

1&2. Shinobu and Fumi going strong in film set and bed, directing carreer ascending. Sakura talk with Nagi then realize she messed up. Tried to find boyfriend for pseudo comfort.
Someone shoes at the entrance.

2. Guess? Boyfriend and blonde girl are getting it on. He said you may join. Run away (again). Accidentaly meet Shinobu and Fumi. They talk and finally cleared the cloud in Sakura's mind. Cried and attempt sxcde. Sakura's double messed up in a chapter.

3. Fast forward years after, Shinobu and Fumi at the film set again, woman in the background. Completing another project. Nationally recognize. Cut to the beach scene, both relaxing with kids. A woman figure then sit next to them with her toddler. Necklace seems similar. She said thanks for waiting. The woman face never showed.

End.

AK then can return back to her habit destroying Iida and Takanari

Omit 3 if there will be another volume coming. Just recycle everything again then put 3 on the closing chapter for how long they want the volumes going.

Well we gotta think about it like this.
Sakura basically took what she saw and heard at face value. Not to mention all the swooning she was getting from Blondie and Yuma.

It was a similar instance back in the Island arc. Nagi for Shinobu, that bastard for Sakura. We know he's a bastard but up until that revelation he was looking like a good guy.

Now, during this arc, Sakura and Shinobu had a lot of misunderstandings going on but it got resolved because they talked. They explained their situations and apologized to each other.

That didn't happen this time around. When Nagi was rejected, she didn't care and let the bastard have his way with her.

Sakura, through this misunderstanding, allowed herself, after a small resistance, to be fucked by someone else that wanted her.

Nagi and Sakura are somewhat similar in this regard albeit even if in different circumstances and reasons. Nagi is naturally going to ask how Sakura and Shinobu are both doing. She probably doesn't know they separated.

Sakura is going to explain they're not together.

Nagi would ask how?

Sakura will either respond with "well he had plans to abandon me" and I don't think she'll just opening say she let someone else have sex with her.

This is where I can see Nagi begin to realize what happened. She saw them talk, she saw them apologize and explain the misunderstandings.

She'll probably say "you guys talked this out? Are you sure?"


Sakura may not respond or shake her head no. And this is where she may explain what SHE saw when it came to Shinobu's dedication.

"You guys talked it out back then but not now? Do you know anything from Shinobu's side?"

And it could probably help Sakura fit the puzzle pieces together on her fuck up. She didn't hear our Shinobu. She didn't confirm it herself. Instead of being abandoned. She abandoned him.

Granted, ideally that's how I can see it happening but there's a good chance Nagi is going to make her realize her mistake. I can assume that much at least.
This will easily be brought to naught when Nagi sees fuckboy pick her up.

We just want the Nagi crashout vs Sakura, doesn't matter how it happens, fucboi picking Sakura up might make it happen even faster actually.
True. Imagine it backfires and reignites Nagi’s desire for Shinobu? Ofc it will also do Fumi a disservice.

Instead of getting mad, she gets happy. And it isn’t far fetched for Nagi to work with Shinobu on his movie. 😭

Ultimately this is how I see the whole sha-bang:

Will Nagi give Sakura a Truth bomb?

Nagi isn’t aware of Shinobu’s current situation. Sakura will likely say that she is a victim of being cheated on. Nagi will refute that as she knows Shinobu isn’t the type to cheat. She will also refer to the situation where she tried to make moves on Shinobu but he turned her down for Sakura. This would likely plant a seed of misunderstanding in Sakura. So not a truth bomb per se, but cracks in the wall will appear. I think Fumi or Shinobu will deliver the blow to her.

Or the opposite could happen where instead of getting mad. Nagi feelings for Shinobu reignite. Knowing that the one women he liked is off the market. She could see this as an opportunity. But that will further prolong the story and also be detrimental to Fumi and Shinobu’s development.

Will Shinobi get cockblocked?

No. Anticipated erotic scene this one. Maybe bias, but they have to bring Fumi x Shinobu into fruition. Besides, these two are really making love, we haven’t seen such detailed foreplay and care for each others nut in 131 chapters. This will be box office. To cockblock this now, Airi would enrage her readers and possibly lose numbers.

Is Sakura actually the victim of NTR all this time?

Maybe. Still early to say. But Shinobu isn’t really your typical NTR protagonist. Bro has dick size to stick out of Fumi’s big ass breasts and has a bit of fight and ambition in him. H-logic can’t really be applied to him. Contrarily, Sakura is very dumb. I mean NTR MC levels of dumb. I haven’t seen such self sabotage till Chapter 128 and 129. NTR MC’s are renowned for their ability to self sabotage. Hence, giving Fumi an easy lay-up to Shinobu. Whether Fumi had bull intents with that kiss or not? We may never know. However, Fumi is way assertive than Sakura. Typical difference between an NTR protagonist and antagonist. The antagonist is willing to get the damsel/prince any means necessary. Sakura ran and cried without communicating, Fumi utilised that to the best of her ability. She asserted herself and here we are. And true say Sakura did get Yuma. But between Yuma and Shinobu, who is bigger catch?

• A young actor who is known for his looks but has controversy in an island date show and there is feel that he has a hidden fuckboy element about him? A scandal lying in wait.

Or

• An aspiring and promising director, who turns women in the streets into stars overnight. Kind, hardworking, diligent, and willing to take a stab wound to get what he wants?

Age old thread question, will Sakura and Shinobu get back together?

They’ll reconcile. Getting back together? Nope. I explain it here:
Idk. Sakura done him very dirty. Say Sakura does regains trust in Shinobu, can Shinobu regain trust in her? Especially since she was so quick to cheat off a misunderstanding?

Let alone the things he has done and sacrificed for her? I mean he took a whole stab wound and looked all night for her, meanwhile she was getting her back blown out. That’s traumatising. I don’t think it will be as easy as Hatsune-Bare. If Sakura wants him back, she has to go through fire or just give up and let Fumi have him.
Airi will have to pull some bullshit out the hat at the expense of her readers to make Shinobu and Sakura make sense at this point. It will be a bittersweet ending between Shinobu and Sakura.

Anyways guys, I’ll stay to reply to what needs to be replied too and be back for that BEAUTIFUL Chapter 133 on Friday. :smugnako:

P.S let’s keep under 3k comments guys 😭

I've an evil though, how about Nagi's reappear just to join 3p with Sakura&fuccboi than sent 3p video to Shinobu " you dump me before, got me heartbroken and threw myself to other men just to got dumped by Sakura. Now I'm a slut and I don't care about you anymore" Than Shinobu awoke his cuck side and got ED before he can go all the way with Fumi.

Well, I still thought Shinobu was a bit timid in bed, but after seeing how skillfully he stripped Fumi, how he played with those huge tits, and how he licked her pussy until she orgasmed... turns out he's actually a pro, hahaha

Well, I went and did it... 132 looked nice so I dropped coins on it. And surely there was an uptick compared to 130 and 131. You can read the comments on mangapoke without buying the episode, so I bet the sales went way down.

Since the creative team isn't completely retarded (just normal retarded) they brought ShiFumi to make dumb fans (and me coff, coff) spend coins.

I really cannot imagine a bad ending for Shinobu. Him being done dirty by Sakura caused an uproar, so all of a sudden, and after 131 episodes of "always in his head, sometimes cowardly" Shinobu we get a guy that read the room and went ahead with his desires. Rolling that back would be madness.

So, KA will do him a bit dirty, no doubt. But I guess that could be done by having him get back with Sakura without him ever asking or knowing about the full extent of her relationship with fuccboi. And we will be shown that fuccboi ran her raw.

Because that seems to be KA pattern. The FMC will always have one over the MC. If ShiFumi never happens, then fuccboi would have just tapped that 1 or 2 times. If ShiFumi happens, Sakura will be shown to have been ran over by fuccboi and probably more.

It the author was not japanese, my hope for a good ending would've been much higher tbh. A bad or a rushed ending is much more common in mangas as compared to manhwas or manhuas. Most of the time, these mfs just lose interest towards the end (that results in a rushed ending with a lot of plotholes) to focus on other projects.

Similarly I have little to no hope for a good ending here. Watch it be an ending where Sakura and Shinobbu reconcile but both are happy with their current relationships, and the "gain after experiencing pain" for Shinobu was Fumi, and the "different" thing that Airi mentioned was that Shinobu was NTRd by a guy that was actually a very good and a genuine guy who cared for Sakura which I dont think has ever happened before (well, atleast I dont know where). Some people may consider this a good ending too but atleast for me, this is the worst possible ending (that actually makes sense since its not an NTR only manga, otherwise the worse ending would be Fumi getting NTRd and shinobu being a loner cuck)
