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

[hugorito420]

A few flashbacks and key reveals can change quite a bit imo but so far nothing has really been shown. Sakura is FMC, if they can generate any momentum in her favor, the wave will follow.

It probably won't change much,their hate for her still pretty solid after 134 and probably they won't do anything for help Sakura here.

They put her on the final cover, 135 will surprise quite a few people I'm imagining now. Although writers might do some silly crap like twist Sakura's sex scene offer to overlap into Shinobu's movie or something if they're not sidelining the sub plots for something different. The writing's already had it's fair share of inconsistencies so what's a little more in the finale.

The final cover is volume 14.But is hard to imagine any scenario of them getting back together here,it would take a big incoherent and bad writing here to make them back together.

And we have Fumi in the cover too so that can help with Fumi's side too.

Okay, one thing I'm fairly convinced of now is that, starting from Chapter 130, the story has been clearly building Fumi's role to be on the same level as Shinobu and Sakura.

In contrast, fuckboy, who was introduced around the same time, hasn't received the same level of narrative importance.

if the cover of Volume 14 ends up featuring either all of the main female characters or all of main characters in that volume, then Fumi will almost certainly be included. If that happens, she'll have appeared on the cover for three consecutive volumes.

All it takes is for someone to design a pretty cover, only for readers to discover there's a bomb inside (ch 129)... 💀

They will definitely judge the book by its cover rather than separating the art from the artist. This will be reflected in how many copies the manga will sell.

Don't expect them to do good writing suddenly given the last 6 chapters and now having to condense things for the final two, if they want Shinobu and Sakura back together, it'll happen even if it feels forced.

Clearly the only option then is fucboi X Shinobu for the final cover

The final volume cover is going to be the winning heroine, Fumi-chan!

It's going to be Sakura + Mio

I know the writing is not going to be good but i think they would prefer Fumi now than Sakura now.Because she is way more popular than Sakura now and her ship with Shinobu is almost unanimously the most liked one.

 

[A.Tanakaaa]

Right now, I want to know if Shinobu still loves Sakura after his relationship with Fumi—and after Sakura learns the truth that he didn't actually cheat on her.

Comes down to what writer's think in the end. ShiKura will be fine, just tougher to pull off but if it was original intent then they can make it work.

That's the million dollar question no one truly has an answer to. Sakura on the other hand, she'll probably have another extreme mental breakdown, maybe do something stupid again depending on how she learns it.

 

[SS-2010]

I mean probably Sakura will probably break up with this guy because after we saw the last chapter he literally just ignored her feelings and she doesn't look happy with him.(he falied his promise).And we see that he probably won't be relevant anymore because the last pannel suggested that the final stretch is going to be Shinobu x Sakura x Fumi.

In last chapter also we see how Sakura still values Shinobu and she said he was the reason that she gave her best and now that hes gone,she doesn't know what to do.(i think she told about both aspects as a lover and manager)

For Fumi and Shinobu's case i see a away easier thing to solve because it only depends to Shinobu reasure her from her Sakura insecurities and confess properly for her.

For Sakura and Shinobu's case i can see that their final meeting happen as the cliffchanger of the next chapter and we'll see them talking and probably solving their misunderstand and most likely reconcile at least as friends because Shinobu likely will forgive Sakura and maybe become coworkers again.But is not discharged the option of their comeback as a couple because they are MC and FMC from the story and any plot convinient thing can happen to make them back(For me it would feel forced)

For me both of those endings can happen because the final streach of the story is very rushed and incoherent sometimes so both of their endins is possible to happen.

My odds for this:

Shinobu x Fumi(Sakura likely single) end-60%

Shinobu x Sakura -40%

Agree.

Two things readers are certain of after chapter 134:

1. Sakura will switch agencies to join Mio.

2. The fucboy won't end up with Sakura.

Beyond that, it’s impossible to predict anything. Because since chapter 129, nothing has made sense, and the author could throw just about anything into the story.....

Hmm what would you rate % of Sakura joining Mio's agency, maybe that's what she actually resolved to do at the end of this chapter imo. Please let 2. happen asap

I think with her old interviews it is not their original intetion.And i think Fumi was introduced to the responsible to make Shinobu move on from Sakura and fuckboi was just introduced as an antagonist of their story

We don't know if he's really moved on yet, just have to stick them right in front of one another first (this will be a big moment) and go from there. Fucboi can go piss off somewhere he's done his part and he still sucks ass.

Please let us see those interviews. We also want to read them. Thank you in advance.

BTW, I believe separating Shinobu from Sakura was part of the plan but it’s unlikely the author would use sex to drive that wedge between them. After all, both fucboy and Fumi were using sex to become the new partner.

If Sakura really does end up losing Shinobu to Fumi and only then decides to join Mio's agency, could we start calling that agency "the group for people who got their hearts broken by Shinobu"?

I don't think neither of them will jump straight to the arms amd suddenly comeback together.The gap for make them back together is really short.
