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

[diphuc1]

Honestly, I don't follow the manga, but I think it's from the recent chapter and there's a panel where a guy seems like he's going to force the fmc to kiss him, I'd expect that from Grapara or Guilty Circle, not from Dandadan hahahaha

Maybe they took some inspiration from GC or GraPara!

I heard some other creator (unconfirmed) a while back called out Airi-sensei saying what she did should be reserved for her hentai doujins instead of a mainstream manga that's been going for this long or something

They are trying to steal MC's power but they don't know that he doesn't have it anymore. So the random bad guy tries to force a kiss from FMC to make MC use his powers... Which he can't.
It's not even real bait since it gets resolved literally in the next panel. The fat otaku buddy and his gang shoot the guy in the face and save FMC.

Honestly, that panel was out of place; I don't know what the author was thinking when they put it there.

Suppose that they get back together. Even if it's forced, it's still not equal. Like, at all. Sakura was still in a relationship, Shinobu did it as a rebound, and that still was months after the breakup. You're likely right that Sakura's infidelity will be handwaved away, and Shinobu probably won't even press the issue.

The issue then becomes that Shinobu becomes a social pariah whenever they meet up with friends, and you know women love to gossip, so Shinobu's "cheating " is probably spread around at this point. Well, Airi did say she loves to make Shinobu suffer, so...

It’s simple: Sakura doesn’t deserve a second chance because of the things she did.

As a Sakura fan the reunion could be important if it happens, but not in a sense for whether they get back together or not because that's secondary to Sakura learning about her major fuckups, and you're right that everything is hanging by a thread, but I wouldn't say ShiKura is favored even over anything else unless we're buying heavily into the "they're the MC's stock" which has been at an all-time low.

I think we can all agree Sakura doesn't deserve a second chance and needs to face some actual consequences for her actions—at the very least, suffer some guilt and remorse—while Shinobu desperately deserves to be cleared. But Katsura Airi clearly doesn't see it that way. With only one chapter left, I honestly don't see how she pulls off anything other than a rushed, forced, and totally cliché ending.

Taking off my ShiKura hoodie for a bit so I can be normal.

Fully in agreement, it would take a miracle in this final chapter to bring down enough weight on Sakura if she even learns the truth. The art and panel arrangement can maybe take off some of the pressure, but it still won't feel enough.

On top of that the cliffhanger suggests that a portion of the finale could be dedicated to sort out the final ShiFumi hurdle, the outcome of which is a bit unclear at this point still whether it's just bait or the catalyst for something more.

No one knows what Airi is trying to do, ch.135 is such a mixed bag abomination where we see Shinobu getting over some of his hurdles with the script while Fumi continues to freefall?....it's actually quite annoying being the second to the last chapter. On the other side you have blonde coming in for fucboi back up again while Sakura is off doing her own sex scene shoot carefreely and willful which is somehow a positive development for Sakura compared to how's she's been lately.

To me what will make or break the finale isn't just Shinobu's reaction in the chapter but the mystery side character(s) that will play a role (if they exist), much like Ryusei showing up in 135 and being a major contributor to helping Shinobu finish his script storyboards.

Lol Sakura hate train is still going.

I have absolutely no idea what Fumi's intentions are... Is she trying to win Shinobu's heart by performing a daring sex scene, or is she stripping as a way of spite Shinobu because she still has feelings for Sakura (or so she unilaterally assumes)? Either way, it's going to be completely counterproductive. Sakura? I hope that filth ends up in the adult film industry in the final episode.

And going.

Well, in the end, manga is just whatever the author wants to write. I wish the final chapter had ended with Shinobu having sex with Chico right in front of Sakura as a way of spite her.

And who the fuck will be making love?

I've been thinking about it so much that I can't stop feeling uneasy until Friday. I predict that the final episode will end with a love scene, emphasizing that Sakura is trying to prove the values she has cultivated up to that point, and Shinobu is trying to make someone else shine. A few years later, they are making a movie with a new character. Just like when they first met, Shinobu will include the lines, "Do you want to do gravure?" "Yes, I do," and reminisce about the past, thinking, "I'm going to make this girl shine!" and the movie will end with a poster for the movie "Gurapara!" on screen.

Well it will end.

The way this episode ended, leaving absolutely no sense of anticipation that the next one would be the final episode, and suggesting there's still more to come, is quite unusual. Therefore, it's hard to predict how it will all end. It really sparks the imagination, lol. There's also the challenge of whether they can deliver an ending that will satisfy the fans who have followed the series all this time, so it really tests the skills of the original author, Airi-sensei. While I'm hoping that they've prepared an ending that goes even further than everyone's predictions, I'm also trembling with fear, thinking, "Please, no sad endings!" (lol)

A sex scene ending with Sakura x fuckboi and fumi x shinobu would be horrible.


Is it the kind of story where both of them end up in a messy sex scene? No happy ending.

Surprisingly more than one copiously optimist commentors. Thanks for the share.

Also I'm curios what people think, did Fumi do this thinking it'll help her surpass Sakura in Shinobu's eyes, or did she do this to spite him before they cut things off.

No surprise on the Sakura hate train still going strong, while Airi-sensei is still drip feeding small things like Sakura's recent character development that now lets her go against some of fucboi's wishes (post Mio chat), none of it has been exactly effective.

I agree with the first and fourth comments, in 134 I was sure that Fumi wanted to do the scene to win Shinobu heart, and in 135 it left me unsure of what her reasons are.

From the fourth comment, I totally agree, chapter 135 doesn't seem like a penultimate chapter of a manga, it looks like there will be more chapters, but well, I guess that's what an axed manga looks

The writing inconsistencies coupled with the 1-month time skip really make it difficult to say, for now though I believe that Fumi's actions here are not to purely spite Shinobu, however Airi's intention is the only one that matters and she could twist Shinobu's reaction in a mannner that cuts their relationship here anyway.

Everything is doomed
It would’ve been so easy to make 135 look like a penultimate chapter

Could've just done some ShiKura meeting cliffhanger, but the "Fumi takes off her shirt" part on paper was too tempting for Airi so she immediately forgot the the rest of the context.

Or: Fumi could’ve simply talk about her problems with the script at that restaurant. But I guess she desperately wanted that Yuma ego stroking talk

How about we frame it this way, Fumi didn't want to talk about it because she thinks it would cause problems for Shinobu? So clearly bottling up those feelings for 1 month and then doing this is the....answer........

I hate having to be the pessimist, but shouldn't Fumi be the one who knows that changing the scene would cause problems for Shinobu? Because she used to work in production.

Guess Gotous teach doesn't like it when he can have sex with anyone

Yea I've been reading what I wrote a few times trying to frame it in a more positive light and it's a bit difficult. Let's say that Fumi is doing this because of her love for Shinobu, it's still feels so sudden and complicated now, but maybe the resolution can be just as sudden.

Actor Improv can work sometimes!

Well him getting locked into a sex dungeon was not on my bingo card when that manga began.

Timer is ticking and I'm getting more nervous now actually...it's going to be the end (too soon) and it could be so unpredictable.
