GraPara! - Ch. 134 - By Strip, You Mean…?

[diphuc1]

I think Arir would have more success with fanza

I think so too. Depending on how the ending of GraPara! goes, at the current I'm not really planning blacklist her but I definitely won't be getting excited for any regular manga she announces in the future, and I am more looking forward to following the artist.

Well the works she wants to write would sell better on fanza but she wouldn't be going mainstream with ntr the way she writes it.

 

[SS-2010]

You know, I'm still happy taking whatever small victories I can get.

Playboy isn't making Sakura happy even though he told Shinobu he would, the way he talks to her is almost clinical, there's no love there and Sakura is STILL thinking about Shinobu.

As far as the possible endings I posted earlier, having thought about it more, I think Fumi ending is the LEAST likely.

Way things are panning out, Shinobu will be alone or will magically take Sakura back.

Glad for you for the fucboy's loss. But why do you think Shinobu will be alone or be with Sakura? Where is Fumi?

Interesting. What makes you feel so strongly about Fumi ending being unlikely? Almost everyone here is Team Fumi as far I know. Granted in this chapter we do see both relationships take hits, but ShiFumi a lot less, although Fumi bringing up Shinobu's ex is a red flag kind of moment. I did it find it odd that the fucboi Sakura conversion was actually so void of any hints of romance having developed between the two (its been months), Sakura not sitting down, fucboi not getting up to even approach her (at least now shown), like he could simply kiss her and start feeling her up a bit and win any argument in seconds probably, but I suppose writer wanted Sakura to show some backbone against fucboi now.

I agree completely with this, wishing her all the best. Never was a huge fan of KZ but I did enjoy it, now let's see how GraPara! wraps up.

Well if say next chapter things come to a head with fumi and she asks shionbu if he is really over sakura what would his answer be? We may have seen the crack form.

My reasoning comes down to what this chapter showed us:

1. Sakura is still thinking of Shinobu

2. Fumi is insecure about Sakura

3. Sakura and Playboy clearly don't have a happy or romantic connection.

My thinking is that Shinobu ultimately won't be able to fix Fumi's insecurity for one reason or another and she unfortunately does do the sex scene.

Meanwhile Sakura keeps feeling anxious with no support from Playboy and ends up bumping into Shinobu.

Cue the magical mutual forgiveness and roll credits.

Of course I would much rather Fumi and Shinobu stay together but I am aware of the potential fuckery that can happen last minute.

I don't think anyone knows, not even KA, whether he can say he's already forgotten Sakura or he can say he still hasn't gotten over her.

Yep! This too, there are cracks in both new relationships and I'm not convinced Shinobu can confidently say he's over Sakura.

See I can't see Sakura believing that shinobu didn't cheat on her she seems to still have resentment over that and it's hard to say she misses shionbu I can say she misses modeling and found joy in it . But fumi x shinobu is all most a lock in at this point.

 

[diphuc1]

My beeg reaching theory time: Mio's talk with Sakura encourages Sakura to do her best to prove her values and that everything she's gone through until now aren't wrong. This refers largely to her gravure roots (proven by flashbacks in her thoughts) which is partially true but what if her "values" also include Shinobu and the resolve that she comes to here isn't simply to take the role offered by her agency but to instead go and look for Shinobu instead for a confrontation, Why? Because she's been running from him this whole time, and mostly plot convenience!

An extremely unlikely event to happen, just a jokingly cope theory to fuel my Shikura.

See I'm not saying that that's what will happen I'm just saying that it can happen.

I would hope Fumi and Shinobu is a lock in but with two chapters left and considering the author, I can see some last minute fuckery.

Well I'm not really sure where mio is even taking her.

See I can't confidentiality say it is. I'm a hopeless romantic so if he ends with ethire girl I will take it.

Man this is going to be scary

I don't think anyone knows, not even KA, whether he can say he's already forgotten Sakura or he can say he still hasn't gotten over her.

KA maybe knows a bit more. I want to believe that Shinobu's shoved his Sakura thoughts into a lockbox but what Fumi said to him cracked it open a bit and now it's making him confused about how to proceed with movie.

See I can't see Sakura believing that shinobu didn't cheat on her she seems to still have resentment over that and it's hard to say she misses shionbu I can say she misses modeling and found joy in it . But fumi x shinobu is all most a lock in at this point.

Sakura bears Shinobu no resentment, the same the other way around. Otherwise when Sakura reflected on her times with Shinobu during the Nagi/Mio bit she wouldn't have thought of it as fun and would've just chosen not to think about it further imo.

 

[SS-2010]

Well, it looks like we already know about Sakura and the fuckboi are “something,” we just need to find out if they live together (most likely they do)

131 and 134 are different rooms. It's just a fake news to make people hate Sakura and fucboy for more. See it yourself and you'll not be their victim easily. @diphuc1 @box2024

Everyone knows now they didn't live together but we can't confirm their relationship.

 

[jonasadan]

Well, at the rush the manga is going, they could make it seem like Shinobu has already forgotten her in 134. I don't think he thought about Sakura at any point in the chapter.

 

[diphuc1]

Well I'm not really sure where mio is even taking her.

Sakura's own place probably? We weren't show any proof that fucboi and Sakura lived together imo. Funny twist would be that Sakura somehow needs something from her old place and Shinobu also goes there and thats how there reunion plays out oomf.

But she took everything, didn't she? The room looked completely empty in Chapter 131
