GraPara! - Ch. 131 - Would You Break Up with Her? (Censored)

[box2024]

Why settle for the tamer and lamer ending ending that all your readers are expecting after your most recent developments instead of pulling off a reversal and going beyond that towards a grand finale. They're the ones whose livelihood is riding on this.

See that is just the thing everyone is waiting to see if yes the author dose bring them back together but that has caused a lot of attention to go there way meaning there will be no real consequence if they do end up giving us what amounts to an after thought of an ending. I say that because it seems all the effort went into the netorare and everything after is just that an after thought it's also a romcom so he needs to end up with someone so it seems fumi's whole character is mentally dor just that as a replacement.

That's what I had heard as well. Its a shame because Tomohiro Kais art is goated, I wish it didn't go down like that.

I think Magapoke leader editor has NTR/Cheating fetish. Or its a strategy to boost sales before axing a manga.

We will find out pretty quickly with 132 I feel, but for now I'm still pretty comfortable to put my money on him bring them back together for one final meeting if not permanently. The consequences will be there for Sakura even if we don't think it is, given her character it will be exponentially more painful for her when/if she finds out she was the sole offender and basically did what she hated most to Shinobu.

I would love to see this but I dont think that will happen, just some tears and im sorry and they get back together. Shinobu goes im sorry its also my fault, resolving her of blame. It would suck and not surprise me

I truthfully think this manga is done though. I think Magapoke strategy is force NTR/Cheating into the story when they want to axe it to get a temporary boost in sales for the final volume. Also the fact that @graparaofficial is no longer posting chapters has to mean something, same with the artist going quiet on any personal posts, just reposting chapters. Also the fact that Airi isnt being antagonistic right now and has multiple days In between posts.

Could be either/or still without insider info. Official doesn't want to deal with rabid fans with too much time on X. Airi likely silenced by Kodansha after her initial outburst until things simmer down, doesn't definitively mean the axe is coming but won't say its a good look either, just that everything is on the knife's edge right now but can still tip in one direction or the other.

Thing is I'm not sure grapara official even matters that much the author is still posting promotional material for grapara on top of that the netorare was planned for some time. But it seems what happens after wasn't planned well I think things are moving so fast because of how weak Katsura Airi writing is out side of well porn. Now the site it's posted on dose announce when a manga is ending if it is I think it will happen on 133 or 134 if this is the last volume. Her silence is because of all the criticism they keep deleting comments that are critical even if they are supportive.

Idk about the "on top of that the netorare was planned for some time" part. The ntr was probably planned but i dont believe to that extinct. + this was no ntr to begin with. The longer we talk about the editor, the more certain I am that it was solely down to him.(if the things people say are true) But Airis writing still sucks ass cant deny that one. But thinking about it maybe airi didnt wanted to ruin slutkura but she was forced. Also I cant see the manga going on like that. If fumi isnt the fmc she will keep getting hate comments week for week. If she becomes the fmc there is nothing to tell because the premise is gone and lets be honest, fumi is pretty much successful as an actor+ shinobu already got a big role as a director. So both have achieved their dreams except for fumi having shinobu as her boyfriend(i hope he becomes a man worthy of her). Everything literally concludes to the ending.

2 more days and some hours feels like forever 132 will entire make it interesting again or break it forever. But the signs of netorare started when fuckboi was introduced to the story it seem it was planned plus Katsura Airi really likes netorare its not hard to see that she most certainly planned this that and the fire emojis on ch 129.

Shinobu is a man worthy for Fumi. But Sakura is his hurdle. That's why it'll be difficult for him to simply move on from her.

I just want Sakura to realize she did the one thing she doesn't like and basically pulled what her dad did due to this misunderstanding.

If it was planned to this extent and she really still stands by it, then well, there’s nothing left for me to say. It’s nothing new that Airi is terrible at writing. But she vastly overestimated herself. She probably thought the majority were Karami fans—otherwise, she wouldn't have made such an idiotic move. And how did we go from 100 chapters of bait to a 20-chapter buildup for pure NTR—which was actually poorly done and isn't even considered NTR by many? As an NTR lover, she ought to know what NTR actually is.

Exactly he is worthy but not in his current state. If he takes her now it would be not the right thing to do. He has to let go of slutkura to be worthy of fumi. I wont deny that hes a good man, but being depressed because of a break up and after months moving into the next relationship doesnt make you worthy but thats also just my point of view of break ups and moving on into next relationships

 

[diphuc1]

Guess everyone can't help but feel like there's still something missing. Sakura being written out of the story from here on out is too sudden, Shinobu accepting and moving on with Fumi too reactive just to appease angry/confused fans, even a bad author should be able to realize this, and an author that aspires to create stories that they believe aren't out there yet would use this setup they've created now to the best of its potential.

I wouldn't call Airi a bad writer per say. She did something right for the Entanglement series and spin offs to be as successful as they've become.

And honestly GraPara! has it's entertaining moments. Even with the all the baits. I was enjoying it.

But this last "Love Triangle" arc (seriously it's nowhere close to that) was just handled poorly. The only time we see Yuma actually go out of his way for Sakura was back when she lost her necklace (which is a pivotal item that can't just be forgotten about between Sakura and Shinobu).

It should have been more slow cooked. Actually have him save Sakura from situations much like Shinobu has. Actually let us get to know him and what he's like. I've said it before but seriously. 100 chapters was what it took to for Shinobu to finally have sex with Sakura.

Yuma stole her in 20ish chapters with literally little effort. That's just what pisses me off most. Sure, add a love triangle.. but dude this wasn't a love triangle.

Given Airi has made decent endings for her stories so far, I am a little optimistic that she can at least make a "good enough" ending for GraPara!

He has shown interest in Fumi beforehand but decided to stay faithful to Sakura. If he moves on months later thats fine. Just the pacing of doing it in 2 chapters feels rushed, not the time frame

I feel like the interest Shinobu had stemmed more from how Fumi reminded him of Sakura when he saw her, rather than him being attracted to Fumi.

 

[CraneBrane]

Man I literally just want Sakura to have some consequences for her actions and Shinobu to be happy, that's it

 

[Gravtos]

Hmm Next chapter Sakura learns new positions 😂 kinda of funny still on messionary for 4 chapters

The most realistic is career stagnation, months with a new agency and only landing a side role in a TV drama from what we've seen so far. As for Shinobu if he can get over Sakura and hook up with Fumi then he'll be well on the road to being happy unless he runs into Sakura again at some random point before the manga ends.
