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

[diphuc1]

She was never a bad person but she was only imature and weak minded with things happening.

FOR ME what made her being that hated is all because Airi made Shinobu being treated as the villian of the story and treated Sakura as the only victim in the story even if we know the truth,and her actions before didn't help too much to make good impression with the readers.

I completely forgot because of that fawking PEN, but Sakura's reputation goes nowhere this chapter (plus minus zero), maybe a slight negative because she's doing a sex scene but all of that get's blown out the water by what Fumi does in the end interestingly enough. This final chapter should be very interesting imo, don't even need to worry too much about whether Fumi's thing is a bait or not.

Fingers crossed for that "I guess it makes sense" ending!

One thing I just noticed is that even though Katsura Airi has been trying to steer various aspects of Grapara in a certain direction—whether it's making Sakura more sympathetic, trying to portray Shinobu as the villain, attempting to make readers like the fuckboy, or even adding NTR elements to attract readers—it has actually had the exact opposite effect in every case. LoL

I'm talking about the entire story not only this chapter.

And what would that be?

I hope they address all the things you called out in this final chapter, chances aren't great but I think it's still possible. If nothing else Shinobu was not the villain!

I also just now seemed to notice more odd parallels to Shinobu and Sakura in these recent chapters.

Sakura was crying because of Shinobu. Fuckboi confesses and sexes her.

Shinobu brought up Sakura and looked sad. Fumi confesses and sexes him.

Both characters are with with a sex scene scenario. Both unsure of what to do.

Sakura affirms herself and gets that assurance from Mio.
Shinobu gets that inspiration from Ryusei to make adjustments.

Both at some point think of the other fondly. Makes this ending all the more curious.

She mades things worse this week and if you comeback some pages you'll see the level of the comments i send here in the forum.

I still don't understand why she keeps trying to humanize the fuckboi, it seems like she fell in love with the fuckboi.

All of this goes up in flames if they don't even meet (chance is there), BUT the chance of them meeting should be higher because they have not met once this entire volume and we're down to one chapter count.

Then why does it seem like Shinobu is the only one being punished and losing everything, even though he hasn't done anything wrong?

I laughed with this comment on Airi post on x:

"Congratulations on the cancellation 😉😉😉"

Because it seems like Katsura Airi doesn't know what Grapara's readers want, and she doesn't even try to understand them.

The treatment he is receving is hella unfair.I could say he should have paid more attention to the girls but this treatment she is giving to him is literally outraged.

 

[Alsatia]

And what would that be?

Honestly no idea. Things haven't gone in the direction we all were expecting. Honestly with just one chapter left I'm just not sure!

Honestly wish I could tell you. This whole volume it's just been one thing after another aside from the sex with Fumi.

Meanwhile nothing bad is happening to Sakura. Maybe it's just what the editor and KA want. He hasn't done anything wrong. We all know this.

My cope? Next chapter is going to be his biggest moment. Where everything goes his way. It's just baffling because literally everyone agrees that none of this is fault save for the "reading the room" moments but like c'mon that's nothing compared to what these other characters have done. I'm hoping next chapter something good will happen to him.

Because it seems like Katsura Airi doesn't understand what Grapara's readers actually want.

Because she's not writing for readers but for herself

Going to be a rough 2 weeks, I have no read on what the ending will be, just gib ShiKura.

One thing i'm sure is that Airi is going to have two long weeks of receving hate for that mess.

I doubt it. He's been catching L's for a long time why change it in the last chapter of an axed manga? Just double down and get this over with. Damn, my defeat is really starting to show
