GraPara! - Ch. 133 - A Sultry Night (Censored)

[SS-2010]

Well, I think she said that because she could tell Shinobu was still thinking about Sakura

Fumi just wants to be close to Shinobu. She just wants to fulfill her dream (she imagined him while masterbating) and he's single now. She's no rush to replace Sakura.

 

[diphuc1]

erm... i think he was malicious alright. nobody with an ounce of decency would simply dunk on a woman that is clearly going through something. I mean, a decent guy who supposedly is in love wouldn't do that. he just acted like he wanted to conquer her.

Ok you're correct. I'm not signing up to be fucboi's unpaid lawyer. Only redeeming thing for him would be if his feeling for Sakura extended beyond lust and they are indeed going steady post time skip which nothing has hinted at so far.

Before chapter 132, the last time we saw Nagi was in the chapter 40! Before chapter 133, the last time we saw Mio (many appearances) was in chapter 67.

So, it's possible for the fucboy to disappear around 60-90 chapters. He's not such an important character compare to Mio or Nagi (especially Mio). LOL

His only duty is to separate Shinobu and Sakura. And he's done it. IMHO, it's normal we'd not see him again. LOL

Moreover, Japanese readers hate him along with Sakura. Can say they extremely hate him from chapter 129 and 130.

Not just anger but many said disgusting.

So, I don't think the author and the publisher would antagonize their readers by bringing back a character whose role has already ended to be seen. Why would they do that?

Man, but that character broke the bond between Sakura and Shinobu, a bond that was built over 130 chapters. You could say that character is far more important than Nagi and Mio, by a long far. That character can’t just disappear like that, especially after what he told Shinobu at the café.

Man we just know we're overdue for some drama, and it will be glorious after a few more cheap baits pls.

Potential is there... but we can trust KA to squander it as she did this chapter... we're here fan-wanking delicate filigree of human connection and deep emotion drama and Katsura Airi goes "Sakura goes sex scenes lol"

That's not what we saw in 128-129. We saw lip service and him looking for the necklace. People do far more to get a foot in the door... I hear....

 

[900samm]

Oh that. Honestly if you ask me it was just Airi's attempt at forming a love triangle. It didn't go as well as it did in the triangle set up of Shinobu with Sakura and Fumi.

Sakura is usually a reserved girl but she has acted in defense of some before. So it made no sense why Sakura didn't deny Yuma's confession or why she didn't speak up when they were talking smack about her boyfriend.

Well it certainly doesn't reflect well on Sakura and makes her actions that follow. Hell, I'd argue that on some ways it makes Sakura look worse than Yuma, why? We all know Yuma is scum for going after a taken woman but by Sakura not denying his confession it tells him one of three things

1) I am not happy in my relationship and am willing to consider any better relationship
2) while I am in a relationship, you are such a catch that I may be willing to forgo it for you
3)I love soaking up attention and will consider your advances as long as you keep giving me attention.

Considering that she also silently reinforces a negative opinion of Shinobu, probably safe to say that Yuma thought option one, maybe perhaps two. So now all of a sudden I guess in Yuma's mind, he should just keep doing what he's doing. Again, scum, but like I mentioned in the last thread, if you cant count on your girl to shut down advances in a relationship she is probably just as bad as the guy going after her and make no mistake people will go after her, even in the future.

Take it easy, no one really knows where the story is going from here but Sakura will not just disappear or else should would've done so two chapters ago, but instead is still popping in while ShiFumi is taking off. Author is adding more to the fire for the potential drama confrontation.

Yep, we can talk potential all day but KA could just drop the ball, this chapter was more of a middle ground to set things up since the script is now done and its time to start casting after the finishing touches. KA can write more in-depth if she chooses to, so I'm interested still and hoping it doesn't keep fumbling.

Oh absolutely. Context is important.
Sakura's mistake was not affirming, defending or strengthening her relationship with Shinobu.

Yuma and Blondie were genuinely under the impression they were saving Sakura
Yuma more so. Who wouldn't want to save a cute girl from a cheating/no good boyfriend? That's the perfect netori-- GOODNESS I FIGURED IT OUT.

THIS ARC WASNT NETORARE. IT WAS NETORI IN YUMA'S EYES.

Well, I don't think I said anything rude, but sorry if it came across that way, I just said that his character simply can't disappear like that because he plays a very important role in the story

 

[DoomResetR]

Katsura Airi writes women as dumb flowers who enjoy sex a lot, but often dodge harsh consequences of being that promiscuous, and men are the ones who need to suffer as cucks who must save them.
Being a slut and still having a dreamy future is a female fantasy.

 

[SS-2010]

Shouldnt it be obvious?
She tried to get his attention since she got introduced, he had eyes for slutkura even tho he was attracted to fumi. And with the whole devlopment the last 2 chapter shes done it she got his attention. The only odd thing in the whole progress right now is when shes in love with him why didnt she visit him once in this month period of time? Looks like(again) bad writing.

Fumi didn't know Shinobu broke up with Sakura till they met again in talk with the producer. Should you contact a guy who you know he stays with his wife or girlfriend? For what? For Infidelity?

The bad writing is, the author let Fumi be quiet and do nothing though she's the reason of misunderstanding.

In common sense, if you realize you’re the cause of a misunderstanding, you’d try to explain, right?

Imagine you're Fumi. Wouldn’t you try to contact Sakura to clear things up? Why did nothing till being informed they broke up because of you?

Fumi does have Sakura’s phone number. She asked her about gravure work. Could she really just let the misunderstanding persist without doing anything? This is what I call bad writing.

Airi Katsura (sensei) just want to separate Shinobu and Sakura by a very poor script. That's it !

Nah, of course it was Netorare! I mean look at it, ALL OF US got NTRd as hell! Especially @diphuc1 ... He's still in denial

 

[Alsatia]

Nah, of course it was Netorare! I mean look at it, ALL OF US got NTRd as hell! Especially @diphuc1 ... He's still in denial

Touche.. Netori for Yuma.
Netorare for us.
Cheating for Shinobu.

A 3 in one attack. Well played, Airi.. well played.

 

[diphuc1]

Well, I don't think I said anything rude, but sorry if it came across that way, I just said that his character simply can't disappear like that because he plays a very important role in the story

Oh I intended it to come across you can relax a bit for where the story might go from here, and a lot of people are feeling a similar feeling you are. There was nothing rude or wrong with what you've said. In the end Sakura is still FMC, we're still seeing parts of her new life, and we're most certainly going to get some form of confrontation between her and Shinobu before this manga ends barring an axe moment from the left field.

Living in denial as I continue this GraPara! experience is the reason this heart still beats! I guess that and my gachas on the side for mild entertainment.

Oh a fellow gacha enjoyer, nice to hear. I'm patiently waiting for Remielle in ZZZ, and summer Robin in HSR

 

[Alsatia]

Endfield, Wuwa, HSR.

Not bad not bad. For me it's mainly Nikke (played for the plot stayed for the legitimately good plot) and Umamusume.

Summer is the season for gacha enjoyers indeed.
