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

[hugorito420]

For now all we know is Sakura is still in Mio's car so a chance it picks up from there. It's unclear how much a role fucboi will have in the finale going from this chapter since whatever relationship they had is now conveniently treading thin ice seemingly out of nowhere.

Everything else here has a plausible chance of happening minus the last part which is going to be more complicated because it's a much anticipated interaction between two people who were in love and forcefully ripped apart by a writer and editor thinking this was some high school science experiment FAFO edition and they brought in the mentos and coke.

The winner is going to be Fumi!
Fumi nation will dominate!

All mio has to do is ask are you sure shionbu cheated on you like did you talk to him about it?

The unseen ShiKura is the deadliest.

Maybe this happens next (it should've happened with Nagi/Mio), though it does feel like their little heart to heart conversation came to a close, which is why I thought Sakura already left the car until I was told she's apparently still in it. Hoping they pick right up from where they left off because it seems like a perfect setup for surprising things to happen instead skipping a few steps ahead from here to another plot point.

You know fumi is the one who raised the Sakura flag right? She is going to be the reason he makes a decision.

Honestly, just asking the basic questions we naturally would in real life, or calling Shinobu immediately to see what's up, would have brought the truth to light early on. But this manga just overcomplicates things, which makes it really frustrating to read.

I rechecked the last page of chapter 134. Sakura's panel has the blur effect of a car window, so she's definitely still in the car.

Regardless of what happens sakura alas did in fact bring it all on herself she didn't trust shionbu I don't think Arir was going for that but that's why what happened and why what happened ultimately happened. It wasn't that shinobu didn't understand sakura.

Shinobu simply believed that Sakura would support his dream, never suspecting that behind those 'I'll support you' words, she actually felt depressed and unhappy, and even listened to people talking bad about him. Shinobu could never have imagined that the girlfriend he trusted would turn out like that.

I find myself still flip flopping between the idea that he heard it or missed it, it's one of these annoying things again.

Thanks for confirming this! Feels like I always miss the details til someone points it out.

I don't think Airi does enough thinking, she has a vision for a desired outcome but everything between the start and finish is filled with plot holes or bits infuriating plot convenience moments. The previous arc was more about Shinobu being distracted.

Shinobu definitely didn't hear those words. Fumi was just muttering under her breath; Shinobu asked back, 'Is something wrong?', and Fumi replied, 'It's nothing.'

Could be either/or is my final conclusion, we might see some more of Shinobu's thoughts in the next chapter reflecting on their conversation and he might piece it together after that awkward cut-off. Shinobu not hearing is actually a bit worse in a different way because while it doesn't directly impact their relationship it means Shinobu is unaware of Fumi's insecurities just like he was with Sakura.

Your right he didn't hear them but the fact that fumi said them is what raises the flag she wouldn't be think what would sakura do or would it be different if it was Sakura unless shionbu still has sakura on his mind at some point very soon fumi forces shionbu to ethire get over sakura or not.

I think both girls has big chances to win.

Long as fucboi loses in the end good yes yes we shall all celebrate together in the end. Bonus points for an epilogue showing fucboi as a convenience store worker like Shinobu was.

I'm at 50/50 right now fumi is the fan favorite and in the best position to end with shionbu but Sakura is still liked amongst fans and people want to see them get back together yes those comments are there. The ending will make some people mad no matter for me a sakura X shinobu ending is bittersweet because Arir would have to hurt fumi.

I think that is a minor part of tbe fans that want the ending of Sakura x Shinobu.

I would say thatnis like 90% of the fans prefer the Fumi ending.

Uhhhh you forgot to specify that it's a deep cult of fans that have some special wiring upstairs. But also I'm of the opinion that fans shouldn't decide which ending an author pens, especially at this point in GraPara. KA should should pen the ending they find appropriate.

Well yes yes we do
