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

[bovtvip123]

IMHO, Grapara was cancelled not because of chapter 129 but rather chapter 129 turned out that way because the series had already been cancelled before. Maybe since chapter 127.

Timelines (assumption) of Airi Katsura (sensei) vs Kodansha :

-> Grapara was slated for ending in Volume 14 (around chapter 137)
-> To spite this decision, AK rushed the plot, having Sakura raped (or you want to call forced sex) and immediately switch boyfriends and agencies in chapter 129 and 130 to wrap things up by Volume 14.
-> She then paired Shinobu with Fumi and featured explicit love scenes in chapters 132–134 (her plan) to compensate the expected backlash from chapters 129 and 130.
-> However, the intense negative response impacted pre-orders for Volume 13 prompting Kodansha to intervene.
-> Kodansha offered a chance to redeem the series and postponed the cancellation.
-> AK then inserted Nagi into the chapter 132 though it upset readers who felt the love scenes were being interrupted.
-> Then Nagi and Mio comforted Sakura in chapter 133 seemingly in an attempt to make it appeared as though Sakura wasn't actually dating a fucboc to reduce the hatred towards Sakura character.
-> Because readers loathed Sakura (and fucboy) so intensely that attempt to rehabilitate her image failed.
-> Consequently, Kodansha ordered the series to end early to prevent further damage and also cut the loss.
-> AK revised the plot to reveal that Sakura was still dating the fucboc and made her become a truly villain having a new boyfriend without telling Nagi or Mio which caused Shinobu to face unfair backlash. There is no need to correct the Sakura's image anymore.
-> To appease readers, we can expect that Kodansha will add chapter 133.5 featuring a full sex scene between Fumi and Shinobu. They can order Keishi Nishikida sensei to draw it without AK's help.
-> As for the ending, we don't know what Kodansha told AK. It could a drastic scenario like Sakura committing suicide to escape her problems because this character is already dead for readers and readers want to see her pain. There are only two chapters left. Maybe another way is to use a nonsensical time skip.

Airi Katsura (sensei) never said "sorry" and Kodansha did not stop her from quarreling with readers because Kodansha had already cut ties with her ! The decision to part ways had been made before chapter 129 was released. So, there was no longer any need to protect her image given that they would not be working together anymore.

However, After the end of Grapara, what we know is that Airi Katsura (sensei) has been blacklisted by the rom-com readers already. Her reputation in the mainstream manga industry is ruined, leaving her only adult/underground work to do. So sad but she destroyed herself. I hope her family member will take her to see a doctor as she might be suffering from a mental health issue.

P.S. The best part for me is getting to discuss things with everyone here. Thank you so much. it’s honestly way more fun than reading Grapara manga. LOL

Good that more romcom reader know more about her and black list her and spread more awareness so many more new people who enjoy romcom don’t get affected by this author

Brother you were saying this the last 4 chapters

Yes, but now we're actually shown the cracks in the relationship between fucboi and Sakura. After the discussion in the car with Mio Sakura is 100% taking that role now, which could make fucboi move on from her because nothing in their interactions this chapter, especially given the time skip suggest that they've made any progress emotionally. Fucboi is clearly more concerned with his career and how Sakura's image could rub off on his own atp.

Oh yeah let’s not forget: once this manga ends we’re all going to disappear into the depths of the manhadex cosmos, never to read from each other again

No, stop it, it wasn't forced or rape, give up on the copium.

Also no, the damage was seen through paid subscriptions cancellations and the reason of damage control.
That's where the money came from and Airi blew that, the reason the series jumped to Fumi sex with MC was to damage control, everything since Yuma telling MC that it was over for him with Sakura is the forewaring of an ending.
KA would never do those things, ACCOUNTABILITY DOESN'T EXISTS IN HER BRAIN.

Where did you get this info that it is getting axed?

There has been no official announcement afaik. There is a note at the end of this chapter saying "2 more chapters until the end" but to me it is unclear if it refers to end of the volume or end of the manga.

 

[Kuroageha]

Shinobu will "win"

No one knows where the ending is headed. Both ShiFumi and fucboiXSakura are drifting a bit, Fumi and Sakura have resolved the accept their roles. Fucboi might dump Sakura if he finds out she takes the role offered. Just make the reunion happen already in the next chapter since we're going to be waiting 2 weeks anyway.

Sakura is, Fumi is just sulking atm.

 

[master-34]

The entire plot was originally about saving Sakura from the ntr stuff but chapter 129 is like a plot to a fanmade doujin and throws the whole plot out the window

That means literally the end of the series not the arc because otherwise it would say "CLIMAX of the story"

The entire post is a massive cope.

Would you really announce the end of a volume/arc like that? Every JP comment I have read on the official RAW site is trashing Sakura and the rushed series ending.

When a series is forced to rush to an end (AXED) then yes, the editor in charge announces it at the very last page of the chapter.

This happened with Grapara.

 

[diphuc1]

Little interesting detail here that is Mio seems to know about Sakura and fucboi so they've probably met a few more times off screen. Mio being really supportive of Sakura here but I'm surprised that she hasn't reached out to Shinobu at all to even get his side of the story, will be curious if this happens next chapter, only thing I'm looking forward to more than the ending is a confrontation of sorts.

I mean the volume/arc not the serialization as a whole. It is very clear this got axed.

KA would never do those things, ACCOUNTABILITY DOESN'T EXISTS IN HER BRAIN.

If that scene was meant to be a ntr rape scene then Sakura would be crying for help and Yuma would be over powering her and the scene would end with Sakura getting corrupted/brainwashed, In chapter 129 Sakura let Yuma take her to his home and she let Yuma undress her then she had sex with Yuma and later chapters so are treating it like a one night stand seeing how Yuma is now a background character.

It's the choice of words.
When it is Story Arc the words often used are " xxx arc, reaching climax of the story". Hope that helps you.
