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

[Cross-21-]

Too litle too late, nobody likes Sakura anymore enough to save this series.

They could have saved face by just firing KA, retconing 129+ with a redraw and letting the artist take over until the end... Such a shame.

If it concludes with this volume, that means there are 3 chapters left. However, if it is announced to end in 2 chapters, this volume will contain only 9 chapters instead of the usual 10. This implies an abrupt cancellation effectively being cut short by having the final 3 chapters condensed into 2 ....

This chapter did just say 2 more chapters until the end, wonder which ships the publishers' a fan of.

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 guarantee you this is going to be unsatisfying and there will probably not be a confrontation. Cheating doesnt matter to Airi so Sakura will have no consequences. Her only consequences will be from her feeling not supported and lonely, She will probably never find out that she is the one who cheated.

and there is one BIG reason:

The women in GC do have accountability in their universe.

That why I said it was consistent, the NTR were absolute asspulls because of the author's cuck fetish, but at least had consequences... Well until the author decided "Hey let's rape FMC in front of MC just for the haha's"

Is that legally possible? Interesting if it is, but I don’t think this specific story is worth the trouble.

 

[Phantasmoon]

That's why I said the editor got sacked lol.

I would like to say "yes", but the forced ntr bait with Fumi makes me think the opposite, either that or Airi is fucking every new editor she has to keep repeating the same stuff haha

 

[diphuc1]

Wow freaks on X doubling the comments on a simple tweet about the hot weather from Airi because there's only 2 chapters left sheesh, there was like 1 positive comment in a sea of negatives (its only like 12 comments tbf, 10 about GraPara!) Chapter wasn't even that bad actually except for the part where fucboiXSakura were revealed to be going steady (break up time though!), sucks there's not much to go but have to just enjoy what's left in the ride and move on. Best part of this chapter was queen Mio, now I just need her to plot conveniently gorilla glue Shikura back together in 2 chapters.

I think someone mentioned that she got to be the writer of Grapara by connections. That means the IP is not her ownership... So if she is just an employee, it's very possible.

 

[Phantasmoon]

It’s crazy—truly crazy. Just think about it: you spend three years building your reputation, churning out bait content and characters people actually like, only to end up acting out your fetish and ruining your career in the span of five weeks. LMAO.

Airi fucking her entire carrer in the timespan of the World Cup's entire run, she is a legend for all the wrong reasons haha

 

[CraneBrane]

Wow, a friend of mine just gave me a sweet ending that @diphuc1 might like it !

He said Sakura and Shinobu will meet and both said "I’ve found that having my dream come true means nothing without you by my side. I love you. Could we go back to how we used to be? " Then they end up together without correcting the misunderstanding because it's unnecessary.

It's a positive idea but it's too good to be true ending, right?

IMHO, if Airi Katsura (sensei) had been fired already and someone else had taken over the story for chapters 134 till the end, it might be possible that the ending would be like that. LOL

This is an absolutely terrible ending lmao. What about anything Sakura has done in the last several months shows she loved Shinobu? She has only showed she loved his unquestioned support and just needs someone to support her decisions, not get opinions btw.

She dipped out on Shinobu instantly and unceremoniously at the slightest problem. Shes dipping out on Fuckboi at the slightest problem and moving to Mio. Everything just comes from a selfish angle with her. Me me me me me, that's how shes been shown to think.

Kondansha owns all rights to the story she let us know when she was bitching on X telling us to write our own chapter saying she doesn’t care but Kodansha might

Can come back to this in 2 weeks, maybe 3 haha but it's not looking hot at the moment. Paths still haven't converged yet.

Do you think she's moving to Mio's "place"? It was just an offer for now if anything happens. Both her and fucboi are selfish in that regard and suit one another but I'm in full favor of them breaking up officially next chapter.

She loves Shinobu’s support. She doesn’t actually like Shinobu. Every single one of her flashbacks has been of what Shinobu has done for her and not of the romantic moments they have spent together.

I hope MC doesn’t fumble Fumi. Because she actually fucking loves him.

Sadly it doesn't depend on Shinobu... But on Airi's garbage writing

 

[CraneBrane]

The concept for Grapara was actually thought of by the editor and they actively seeked out Airi to be the writer. He/she was a first time editor and only edited gravure works before this. He/she foes by EditorS.

Yes exactly, everything about this girl is selfish.

I have a feeling she will dump him and go with Mio. Then after meeting Shinobu again she will feel regretful (especially when she finds out about all of this), but he will be the one to reject her in the end. Saying all the things he said to Fumi when she asked about Sakura.

I know you won't agree, but this kind of bittersweet ending fits the current tone, unfortunately...

I'd be happy with a Sakura single ending (if it's the only choice) where she ends up transferring to Mio's agency, she'll be much happier working there away from pricks like blonde and fucboi, and Mio is my second goat. We don't know if Shinobu will reject Sakura, unsure why Fumi brought up Sakura herself but right now both ships have been shaken up. The ShiFumi conversation left off on a very awkward note, and Shinobu might just stumble into Sakura now with only 2 chapters remaining and that alone can change things and is one of the only power moves left to make before the true ending.

We will probably never even know of they are actually together or living together or if it was a one night stand or anything. It'll probably be left for you to interpret yourself.
