GraPara! - Vol. 14 Ch. 136 - Grapara!

[Cross-21-]

I remember it now. It's called Get Schooled.

Oh i saw the TV series not to long ago, It's one of the best i ever saw! The actor that played the MC was perfect!

 

[Alsatia]

Why’s that? What happened there? Ntr lmao ?

Nah, I think it had to do with the topics that occured later on? It's no sex story. I don't remember the full details.

 

[SS-2010]

It is acting. It's simulated and not real.
It's just for some reason people can't think actors can act out sex scenes. (I still love you guys)

There's no actual sex going on. Both are reunited and living out their dreams.

Any sussy censorship is just amusing since it's also on the male chest (is it really needed if their nipples aren't usually shown?) so I wouldn't worry about it too much on if it's sex or not.

Thank you again for that common-sense explanation as always. Thank you for trying to bring people back to reality again. Sorry for being late as I also had lots of thing to do but spared my time to count down to the chapter 136 with you guys. LOL

However, there are always some people who cling to their misconceptions and lie to themselves as if the lies were the delicacies they couldn't live without them which is understandable. So sad.

It's the same situation as you’ve pointed out at least two times that Sakura didn't go to cucboy's place with the intention for sex.

In fact, Sakura hadn't even arranged to meet cucboy. She simply reported him to verify the cheating he mentioned was correct. But some people still falsely claimed that Sakura asked cucboy to pick her up at the train station,to take her to his apartment then undressed herself etc. They kept saying fan-made chapters of Grapara without actually reading them. LOL

Thank you for successfully saving many people from misconceptions, even though you couldn't save everyone.

Please take care,

I'm also reading one called The Teacher's Effort. Art is really really good!

A really good one I also reading this one. If you like the art you can read childhood bride it’s from the same artist vanilla the mc is no pushover and the art is even slightly better. If you didn’t read it give it a try.
The mother is hot af

On the one page featuring news about Shinobu's rise as a director there's no sign of Fumi and the 1 movie poster features a very different looking actress so it's safe to assume that it was just the last one we saw the filming. The hat is just for fashion after the major time skip, Fumi says she only planned to act in Shinobu's projects. ShiKura interactions were extremely limited so it's hard to say what Shinobu's priorities are but it's not something to think too much about atp.

Still just like that another timeskip to conclude these messy situation. To me thats chickened out. A bit dissapointed with the author seemingly not as brazen as she act to be.

Something about the last 3 chapters felt so off that I'd believe it if the artist took over and decided to force a ShiKura ending while sprinkling in some Airi flair to not make the switch up too obvious. Ignoring the "work" going on in the ending, both Shinobu and Sakura ended pretty well off in their careers to wrap things up.

 

[Jhon1617]

If Katsura wrote the story to the end, it was lazy, mediocre, and cowardly writing, with the constant use of time jumps. Furthermore, he literally ran out of imagination; he copied the endings of Soredemo and Karami Zakari.

This is as funny as KZ's ending.

I do think. That this is a better ending though. You're not actually having sex when you're filming something that isn't porn, even if plenty of fucking takes place off screen too a lot of that was the coerced stuff Shinobu protected Sakura from for the rest of the run time, and while this is like a conceit for Katsura Airi's love of NTR, this is decidedly wholesome having the meet-cute kind of come back.

In theory, even the real NTR moment, when she went and had sex with the actor, it carried out because Shinobu wasn't there to 'keep her safe' like he had before, while it was happening she was, at least kind of, fantasizing about how he makes her feel. This makes it worse as an ntr moment, obviously, but you know.

So they both had a fling, realized they found fullness in each other and not their fling partner, and now they'll be an actor director duo like idk, Scorsese and De Niro or something.

I think if it had even went on for a few more pages and had them talk this wouldn't even be weird, but it's the KA way to make it weird and end on an NTR page.

Still hilarious, but not topping "thank you Iida" or "I do" from KZ OG or KZ high school reunion.

(I liked KZ mangas ending, it's just as funny but has an air of wholesomeness like this one).

Idk, this feels like it would still be dog shit if I followed it for 3 years instead of rushing to read it all in the last month or two but I think viewing it week by week and as a whole work are different experiences

Sakura didn't have a fling, it is clearly shown that months passed and while Shinobu was depressed she was getting railed everyday. The one time cheating could have been managed, but the time skip basically destroyed any chance of a redemption for her. At that point the story failed as a NTR, romance or comedy.

 

[Mercale]

Some writers should just stick to porn.

 

[SS-2010]

Take care of yourself buddy, thanks always for amount of effort you putting up all this information. I didn't pick up on the part of the hand-holding being weird and assumed they were reuniting for the first time on-set, but it's possible they've met since the Fumi talk. Would've been way better to show it but oh wells.

Thank you. Please take care of yourself too.

Sakura and her manager must meet and talk to Shinobu and staffs many times before the production started. It's impossible they did meet only at the bed scene production. LOL

It clearly shows that Shinobu chose Sakura who had won the Best Rising Actress award for the chance to see her again after a few years of separation.

Another good thing is that Fumi had met Sakura before Shinobu agreed to take on the project. There are two possibilities. Either Sakura contacted Shinobu after learning the truth or Shinobu met Sakura under the pretext of work and then found an opportunity to talk beyond work and they must talk a lot like two people who have longed for each other for a long time. LOL

Anyway, happy for you and @box2024 to get ShiKura again as you guys are a great example of someone who does not abandon their faith.

No one knows Sakura got railed everyday because her and cucboy's eyes were not disclosed as if it's just Shinobu's imagination in chapter 131.

Also, chapter 132-133 were an attempt to convince readers that it's just a one-time sex by using Nagi and Mio who have one-time sex right away after being hurt by Shinobu, the same situation as Sakura.

Then, in chapter 134, @diphuc1 noticed that Sakura call cucboy as "Yuma-san" in stead of "Yuma-kun" she used in chapter 126. Japanese also commented that it seemed they're not actually going out.

Later in chapter 134, the author intended to show us Sakura still loves Shinobu and then in chapter 135, the author shew us Shinobu still loves Sakura as well. Shinobu didn't go out with Fumi so they met and discussed about their job at a restaurant instead of in her room.

The entire storyline aims to reunite Shinobu and Sakura as a couple, a move that is completely unlike Airi Katsura (sensei)'s usual style but very style of Keishi Nikishida sensei who always has his FMC and MC end up together in his stories.

I sincerely hope she never works on manga ever again

Does your kodansha friend have any particular feelings about this ending if they've had the time to check it out.

Bro you're coping. They're not dating but she's talking to fuckboi in his apartment in chapter 134 months after their one time fling? Why would she be over at night if they weren't in some type of intimate relationship? When she met her other actress friends in public to talk?
Also in 135 that girl told him it's hard to date an actress. As for whether or not they had sex in 132 or that was just his imagination, there's no way to know, but I'm gonna say the chances of her NOT having sex with him after breaking up with Shinobu is almost 0. It's pretty clear they were dating. Any inconsistencies with it SEEMING like they aren't that close to Japanese audience to me screams more like the mangaka's lack of skill, considering what a piece of shit this whole work has been.

You could be right about this.
Airi just gave up on the ending part.

Well, shes a female after all. Beings that love introduce dramas and mess into the equation then left when things getting out of hands while calling out daddy to finish the job.

Well maybe not all females, but my exgfs and wife actually did those things all the time. I lost count already.

Apologize for the female readers here for the audacity.

This is what i pointed out already as being one of the biggest problems in her writing! The characters are treated like NPCs during these time skips. It's like they were standing around doing nothing while waiting for time to pass until their AI triggered when the camera was on them lol

Just another good point how bad of a writer she is... A good writer takes this things into account as well.
