GraPara! - Vol. 14 Ch. 135 - Sex Scenes

[hugorito420]

I agree, but that might be Airi's goal, it's very likely that no character will face consequences and they will probably be rewarded (fuckboi and Sakura) while Shinobu continues to suffer. Maybe Airi's goal is to make him bad or see him as a villain, I don't understand this story anymore.

Witch could be only be a stupid decision by her because people already hating her a lot so in the mainstream it could be over gor her.She at least has her infinite farm in Karami Zakari

 

[hugorito420]

You have good points, I accept that she decided to run away, but I don't think I accept that she messaged the fuckboi

She did send amensage in a group chat with blondie and fuckboi

 

[VuongOuki]

As for me, I want the playboy to stay with Sakura and repeatedly suffer from seeing Sakura shoot sex scenes, and then he will be heartbroken when he realizes Sakura is also secretly having sex with the male actors she acted with.

Man, the reunion between Shinobu and Sakura is going to be something, I know some people don't even see it happening at this point, but the two of them ARE the MC's, and they have yet to meet once since the start of this final vol and this manga has largely been about their dynamic until recently, so we can expect a return to that to round out the ending regardless of what form and outcome it takes and results in.

 

[Alsatia]

Exactly!! He made a binding vow that permanently fucked up Sakura's mind, leading to all the subsequent events in the story and the mess we have right now, in exchange for his dick.

I'll also keep saying that those chapters were particularly disturbing, just because it portrayed Sakura's inner thoughts and how they shifted, how her view on intimacy changed, and how much she struggled to think straight during pleasure.

Shinobu even thinks to himself that she hasn't been this "into it/forward" ever before when they get intimate right after that incident.

Because that director was carefully monitoring Sakura and saying the right things. He confirmed her insecurities and used that to his advantage.

Dude was an incredible manipulator and we hate him for it. If I'm recalling right, I'm pretty sure that's also the first time Sakura came from pleasure too. So in a sense it was "engrained" into her. So much so that, like as you pointed out, Sakura was doing the same things the director was telling her to when Shinobu was touching and pleasuring her.

She only snapped out of it because Toppy was the unsung hero despite his intent. He threw off the whole build up the director was carefully working on to take Sakura.

Kudos to the director. Dude could've been the final villain with this level of manipulation IMO.

And I think you're right with Sakura having her first climax from him. That's definitely an experience that changes people for sure.

What can we expect from a writer who still doesn't understand what Grapara's readers actually want? Of course, what she produces is going to be more in line with what Karami Zakari readers want instead. LoL

Are you sure? I just read it again and it seems that Sakura sent him a message.

fair but this is just basic story telling, not any sort of critical thinking into theory crafting because everyone here has probably thought about the story way more than KA has in some ways.

What if Toppy never intervened..? What would have been the story if the director got Sakura's virginity..?

I feel like that's the kind of plotline in like, the bad ending/worst ending of a VN.. cuz she'd be falling victim to a very dangerous man within the industry..

I dont know about you but the last 6 chapter were no basic story telling at all still the chance is there with a ts and i also think this will happen if fumi goes through with it but its 50/50 atm

It's hard to say. If KA is allowed to do spin offs with the artist (since they hold the GraPara! IP 50/50) that'd be one area explored.

A lot of "What if" scenarios like with Chico back in chapter 20.5

KA still maintained a basic narrative with Karamizakari so I'm applying similar expectations going into the finale. Having Shinobu and Sakura meet in the final chapter doesn't seem like a tall ask. The thing with Fumi was shocking and it all comes back to Sakura once again, I don't know under what circumstances they'll meet and what it'll result in, but just having them meet is already going to be a powerful moment.

With how she's writing this ending?

Someone tell her to PLEASE take a mental health day or year and THEN try to make spinoffs.. cuz this current Airi will just make it as bad for Shinobu (and maybe even Sakura in this case) as possible.

Uh, when I said that Airi would write according to the expectations of Karami Zakari readers, I was being sarcastic. Looking at what we've gotten so far, it might not even be what Karami Zakari readers actually want either.

Shinobu might discover the "magic" of sex scenes thanks to Fumi and become more open to it and then there could be a time skip where Shinobu has to direct a movie with Sakura acting in it, leading to their reunion. Honestly, I don't like this idea hahahaha

I think my point is a scorched earth ending is pretty unlikely. Maybe they walk back what Fumi did and let ShiFumi recover. ShiKura will probably get their one meeting to talk after all this time, then we get the epilogue after all the drama.

Lol maybe.
There's a lot of nice potential spin offs that can be done like

"What if Shinobu chose to be Mio's manager?" and "What if he accepted Nagi's confession?"

But also a lot of bad ones. Like "what if Sakura failed to leave Toppy and Producer" and "What if Shinobu failed to save Fumi from the scammer"

 

[Dirigibull]

I’ve seen Japanese comments said the same thing as you that Airi Katsura (sensei) love to write stories where handsome guys face no consequences for their actions. It'll be rape if it's committed by an ugly, fat, or old man. LOL If a handsome guy did it, it's not rape. Ridiculous! LOL

I agree with that Japanese sarcastic. There’s no equality or justice for the not-so-handsome guys. LOL

Just like real life.
