All good points there, a few of these can be solved altogether (1.~5.) in a single arc/volume maybe. Point 6 is a given and no need to worry (I hope), 7. is going to be a herculean effort unless there is already a plan in motion which doesn't seem like it. 8. has to just be a bait with this...

Only one off the top off my head is an old work (H manga) from Akino Sora 'Let Your Smile Bloom' or something which had a solid ending for an NTR where MC pulls the FMC back from the brink, accepts her, and shows them getting married. Mashiraga Aki has some much darker and depressing NTR works...

Might be why Fumi loses in the end.

If she's been happily getting cracked by fucboi in the months since, her attitude towards the sex scene offer seems off.

This could happen but seems a bit above KA's writing grade so I'll be curious. KA already struggling to handle the conflict between Shinobu and Sakura as is.

We could see not a single panel of him again and the story continues unimpacted.

Fucboi's role is already done, his only remaining purpose in the story would be to keep rage baiting the readers or to have him come back to NTR Fumi next in Shinobu's movie. Believe what you want about the weight of repuation but if KA keeps being stupid even her doujinshi fallback option is...

Around Mid-August I believe, the 15th or something and by then we'll be on chapter 137 which might be the cutoff for this volume so depending on how it leaves off things might be dangerous but again hoping no fans get too rabid and find a better way to vent their feelings, like these forums!

No rewrites was bull headed but its fine. No one's saying this is a good manga atp, but the story is still storying and I'm reserving judgment til the true ending.

I don't buy that entirely yet based on how 133 went, onwards to 134. Also, doesn't matter the ego, reputation carries quite the weight in JP that if she continue to do spiteful things that make no sense, she'll have no fallback career as KA and is going to have to take up an alias as a new...

As cynically funny a 129.5 would be to see come out, it's both KA and the Artist's reputation on the line right now (mostly KA). Looking forward to what the magic number is 129 or 133. Reputation matters a lot in Japan and KA's probably pushed hers to the limit and a bit extra so far so she...

There's definitely not much wiggle room but there's still some things that can be done: 1) erase fucboi from story, 2) it was a one night affair, 3) Sakura is just focusing on work and not in a relationship, simply wanted to avoid Shinobu. Even if these things are done (very unlikely) story...

Well GC did have its own brand of crazy moments but readers knew what they were getting as they kept reading, vs the slowburn rugpull moment in GraPara! that leaves everyone clueless as to where we can even go from here with the story. If we ignore what was done KA has done quite well here...

Looks like they purge any comments that criticize anything or call out KA? Bit of a stretch and weird they're still at it given the relative "calm" of the last 2 chapters that've come out.

Haha I completely understand that feeling, the 130 conversation in the van is also throwing me off now that I go back to it and compare it to the latest meeting with Nagi/Mio.

Thanks for the detailed answer as always, I'll keep this in mind heading into 134. Hmmm it would be like a sex friend arrangement then which is odd but it is KA so the potential is there ig. Still, this stings my ShiKura ambitions oomf. I know I just asked for a quick gut check, but any...

The conclusion I draw from this is that she has to course correct and fix GraPara!, whatever that looks like I don't know, can only hope for ShiKura but things aren't even close, meaning time for big drama and plot convenience plays.

If only she used an alias so people wouldn't know between the regular mangaka and doujin version of her. Like how some Seiyuu's have like 5 different aliases if they voice for a visual novel sometimes. Now people know her repuation so I think she really has to correct course a bit eventually...

Nagi maybe not (Nagi was working way harder to seduce Shinobu), but she is fairly close to Mio at least and they were having a pretty good time throughout that whole meeting with no signs of awkwardness. Both Nagi and Mio even opened up to her about their own personal dark experiences and...

No you're not too wrong, it could very well happen in the absolute the worst case scenario, at which point I'll just have to accept it ofc. But again just thinking back to the 133 meeting, not a single fucboi mention or new relationship talk or anything, just Sakura letting the two console her...
