GraPara! - Ch. 130 - Please Look Only at Me

[Xain]

I can picture a resolution in 5 that still lands us in a Shinobu Sakura ending.

I dont think this will happen especially after all the praise the ShinobuXFumi ship is getting from the readers. I feel like the author kind of sees that she might have fucked up and seeing all this praise might lead her to believe that this ship is the best way to get the readers back. It aint lookin good homie.

Sounds like a fire arc, Shinobu when he isn't distracted is still a badass MC at the end of the day.

When it comes to character hes not even this weak pathetic person some are portraying him as. He still chooses to do things the right and mature way. Like all cylinders in his brain are active and keeping him from going full idiot... for now anyway

A Japanese comment:

‘Sakura's success is only at the beginning, and then she gradually hits a plateau and gets propositioned for sex, right? And even if she wants to refuse, no one protects her, and instead encourages her, so she starts saying things like, "Shinobu would have protected me." Then, feeling cornered, she wanders off to Shinobu's place and meets Fumi, who tells her that Shinobu's infidelity was a misunderstanding, that he genuinely wanted Sakura to succeed as an actress and was thinking of quitting as her manager (someday), that he had been searching for Sakura all night, etc... and that probably drives her crazy.’

Only to then finally see Shinobu. And as she tries to extend a hand to him. He remembers the time he got stabbed for her, the nights he spent handing out flyers, the connections he used to establish for Sakura, the time he convinced her parents to continue on her career, times he rejected numerous women’s advances, and all that to be burnt by her infidelity, whilst he relentlessly searches for her throughout the night, to no avail and left with his thought in the middle of her vacant room. He in a euphoric blaze of anger rejects her and tells her to let Ikeman fend for her as she dips into the hellish landscape of JAV while Ikeman is in the corner of a dark room beating his meat to her JAV. On the screen, Sakura with dead dull eyes devoid of the life she once had, puts up an act for the cameras as the ugly oji-san pumps her, but deep inside a truth full of regrets is all she can conjure up as her final thoughts of the series:

‘Shinobu… I’m deeply sorry.’

That, ladies and gentlemen is top fucking tier head cannon that will probably not happen but would turn this manga from a 2/10, to a 9/10.

All of us here made the mistake of seeing this in tge 1st place. Let's hope that something else overwrites this memory.

I personally can't believe I found myself reading something from the same author as Karami Zakari. It having different artists as well as purging that shit from my memory made me not realize until today. It's a shame that authors can't get stuck with the quality of artist proportional to the quality of their writing. My life would be so much more peaceful if that were the case.

You know I thought you were bragging in that 1st sentence of yours. Almost went good for you man.

Lol 😂

Read imaizumin. It is wholesome loving porn and backstory. Here is the reading order.

Oh yeah I read that one. My very first exposure to the idea that hentai can be freaking wholesome to the point of smiling like a complete idiot. Lol

Edit: just need to find the translated version of the latest one which would be after the snow resort trip I believe.

I don't think she will ever learn the truth I can't see the story going there with the time it has left but I would love for that to happen.

There is no fucking way they get back together not with how shinobu's character has been written that would be so forced plus with the pacing this is over next chapter will be the response to the confession maybe the start of the foreplay next chapter heavy foreplay with the sex cliffhanger chapter after sex all chapter fourth chapter after sex last chapter is well the end we see where and what our characters are doing.

I shall challenge you on this, you've won the 131 bet, time for the 132. Shinobu stood up Mio, rejected Nagi, he will reject Fumi too by saying its not fair to her because he's unable to move on in his heart from Sakura even they're physcially apart now. Fumi being the kind girl she is accept will keep working and helping him out as Shinobu starts to focus on his director dreams to distract himself.

Well this time she ripped his heart out so I'm willin to go all in on this one.

I feel differently with this, while I don't have particular thoughts on when she should learn the truth, it looks like she didn't learn in 131 clearly. At least before the manga ends she should learn the truth or it will be way too cruel and lame of an ending.

May fortune be upon that commenter if it comes to fruition

In that way, he reminds me of the Illicit Love mc. Like genuinely on of the more mature MCs in a manhwa, and really in a vacuum, was probably close to an ideal guy when they author wasn't trying to use blondie to dunk on him.

I think she'll find out the truth, and we'll have a meeting between Sakura and Shinobu. I just hope that by the time this happens, Shinobu already have fallen for Fumi.

Ok done deal we'll remember this. You = Fumi route full commit, Me = Fumi ultimate friendzone ally

 

[Gravtos]

Story at a minimum will still have 5 chapters left so we're at or coming up on the midpoint.

Ya like my predictions i was thinking more 9 chapters with some extras but its fine. Im person can wait for Berserk to get out of boat arc so ya im sure i will gonna read this at till the end😆

I want her to learn the truth because when she dose it will be to late.

It aint lookin good homie.

if author was easily influenced by fans to adjust her story 129 would not exist, story is always a few chapters ahead so I'll believe the author still has a vision instead of playing it by the nose.

If she get friend zoned I will pay someone to kick the author in the taco

 

[diphuc1]

I want her to learn the truth because when she dose it will be to late.

I do too man, as for its too late or not. Ultimate that's for Shinobu too decide, all we can do is judge.

Bro dont remind me of that shit lol. It was one of the most most braindead stories I've ever read especially when the blonde fuckboi also got somewhat of a good ending. But that was also rushed like this, with a mature mc and the author was also a girl who decided to change the story at the end due to pressure from publishers. Now that you i think about it, there might be some similarities lol.
