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

[diphuc1]

I was just lucky that I use my PC to read manga (I like big screen) and also lucky enough to find a translation extension for Chrome browser. So, I can read the whole chapter of the non-English manga without translating image by image. That's why I read the chapter 127 already without waiting for the English version.

Going to steal this idea, you're a genius!

Wait you mean sakura friend zoned fuckboi after the rape I must have missed that.

Yes, Sakura forgives him but can't be his girlfriend. So they're best friend now. The sex scene in chapter 131 without face is Shinobu's imagination.

 

[diphuc1]

Doesn't he also, for some reason, include some kind of rape bait scene in each season? There was Asuna, leafa, the Gunner girl etc

Leafa one was also pretty tasteless (tbf they all were).

 

[box2024]

Apparently a movie came out of the OG SAO but from Asuna's perspective.

I did also hear that there's a scene at some point in the series, can't remember if it's a movie or not where we actually see a fully nude assume. Albeit from the side of her getting out of the bath.

I think I saw that there was a Crunchyroll/Blu-ray comparison they censored it but it doesn't really show full frontal nudity it was done really well and showed nothing explicit no tits even.

I vaguely remember it. I just remember a lot of rape baits happening. At least 1 per season.

I can believe this idea (maybe friends instead of best friends doe), how confident do you feel in this one though, everyone is going to have a hard time believing this because of Sakura's action following that, you could say it was because she didn't want to face Shinobu and if the writers want to swing this for the finale it's plausible enough now with what we've seen in 134, the conversation between fucboi and Sakura being dry as it was.

Good luck, I will not charge a license fee. LOL

I said it because that female friend told me that chapter 132 (Nagi's appearance) is an attempt to purify Sakura. Then chapter 133 and 134 shew me they didn't stay together and you told me to notice the vibe that is not from lovers.

All makes me believe it's one time sex and Sakura's still afraid of the fucboy so she didn't sit but stood quite far from him in order to be ready to run if he attacked her. She just visit him for an opinion for a short period. She didn't want to spend much time with him because of the bad experience of being raped. She might say she forgave him but she's still not comfortable to be with him alone.

My assumption bases on the damage control the author is trying to do with the Sukura charactor. The author tried to convince the readers that Sakura was not going out with the fucboy. But this idea failed because people was so angry and biased with negative thinking.

The only way to correct the hatred is to redraw a few panels in chapter 129 to show that Sakura didn't sleep with that fucboy.

This is a fair breakdown, I'm buying into it, curious what the writers do in 135, if they go in a completely different direction with the fucboiXSakura status. The one detail that still bugs me though is Mio knowing about fucboi but this is just over analyzing.

That woman just wanted approval to do that scene; now she’ll be with Mío, and Mío will support her. By the way, I think the scene is funny, the fuckboi had to bring up the gravure to get Sakura upset; even when he mentioned Shinobu, she didn’t say anything, I think both of theme win if they don’t end up with Sakura.

Like I analyzed before, Sakura is actually capable of getting angry and fighting back when someone says something she doesn't want to hear. So, her staying silent while the playboy and the blonde badmouthed Shinobu means that she was dissatisfied and annoyed at the time because Shinobu was focusing on his filmmaking and spending less time with her on set. As it happened, those two were badmouthing Shinobu with the exact things she wanted to hear.

Explains it quite well, now she sees fucboi badmouthing gravure which is important to her, something she values so she gets annoyed and leaves and now has Mio in her corner, man what a lucky girl in this post time skip. Mio is a way more powerful ally than fucboi or blonde could ever be, writers please make use of her for the finale resolution.

Oh, I like the way you see it, but Idk, I'd say that would make the image I have of Sakura look worse.

So sakura actually cohabitating with yuma, you can see that she changed her footwear from shoes in previous chapter into slippers in this chapter while still wearing the same suit, she also call him yuma without honorific, so she indeed agreed to be his girlfriend. After that she went out again to vent out because of her dissatisfaction of yumas reply. We can see that she return back to wear her shoes while waiting for the traffic green light. Shinobu may not be cohabitating with fumi from the looks of it, he still outside for god knows what while fumi thinking over the offer lying on her bed.
so up to chapter 134:
sakura-yuma = had sex around 100 times
shinobu-fumi = had sex around 30 times

Shit man, you've got a good eye. I don't think I would've ever noticed that detail about the shoe change, and unfortunately, I don't think Fumi and Shinobu have done it that many times, they've been together way less time than Sakura and that fuckboi

Well, I don't know if I'm being too harsh, but Sakura's image in my eyes just keeps getting worse over time.

Nice catch on the footwear detail but it feels like a good amount time passed between 133>134 and also her outfit is in fact different in 134 even if you remove the jacket suit top (collar diff). In JP they don't commonly wear outdoor footwear inside homes so maybe the artist just drew on guest slippers without giving it too much thought. I think even with this detail, the whole conversation felt oddly distant considering how much time has passed by now if they've been dating AND living together, there was no romantic gestures or any attempts from either side to understand the other's feeling during the conversation.

Nah, you're not being harsh, it's just that the way you see what you mentioned makes Sakura seem a little more evil to me, in my opinion.

Personally, I don't think Sakura is living together with that playboy; they might just be dating. Sakura doesn't give off the vibe that it's her own home. Swapping into guest slippers when entering someone's house is pretty normal anyway. As for having sex, I don't think they is doing it that much, haha. Sakura and the playboy are busy with work, so even if they are dating, without living together, I think it would be hard for them to meet up often—not to mention their relationship keeps getting worse over time. As for ShiFumi, it seems Shinobu lived with Fumi during the time he was writing the script (probably a few weeks), so maybe they did it multiple times, but definitely not up to 30 times, right? Haha.

What do you mean when you say her fit is different in 134? I think the shoe change really add a lot to the idea that they're living together
