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

[box2024]

The way I'm hoping it goes is that she keeps zoning out and not paying attention, mistakes here and there and bam. She gets told off by the director, but gets comforted by fuccboi. But she then wants an alone time, and checks her phone. She notices some posts about a movie, and it was the one Shinobu directed and it starts to become a hit. She hesitates and looks into her contacts and see his name, and the amount of times he called her before. She feels partial regret about not hearing him out, but she knows she cannot just go back and talk to him, so she continues to work but keeps on failing, until even fuccboi starts to get seriously concerned about her.

At a point, she went out to get some fresh air but stumbled upon Shinobu, with Fumi, but not just them, with his friends all around him supporting him and cheering together, whilst she is there behind them alone. As Shinobu turns every now and then to talk with everyone, he noticed Sakura, he stopped but stares at her. He was about to say something, but he knows it's too late so he didn't.

Instead, it's Sakura that reaches out, but everyone else noticed too. She wanted to talk things out, but Shinobu (as I want him to), addresses her as Katsuragi-san and says there is nothing to talk about. He gave her what she wanted so that is that. He continues walking forward with the rest of his friends who seemed concerned but follows him. Except for Fumi who stopped to talk to Sakura.

She drops the bombshell truth to her. Shinobu never cheated on her. Sakura never left his mind and he never had any thought of cheating on someone that he truly loves. Fumi apologises as she feels she is partly to blame for the misunderstanding but the truth is now out. She told Sakura that Shinobu and her now walk different paths and she must understand that he is no longer in her life. Fumi then says that she will do her best to make Shinobu happy, because she knows how bad Shinobu's situation is after the breakup. She says goodbye, and Sakura stood still, frozen, stares blankly down, as tears slowly drip down from her face...

And guess what, it's another fever dream of mine.

Mine too

I think we all have to acknowledge that the author choices may suck but the amount of engagement is showing that the method works. Even though it's mostly negative

I wouldnt say it works considering maximum 10-15people writing 2000 messages here. On the jp fprum i agree but here are the majority the same people so

 

[Kamiizumi]

To be fair she seems smarter than sakura so she would have to be dumbed down for that to happen.

Yea but fumi almost get tricked by that random dude before and mc saved her otherwise she would have been defiled

 

[chiga-kun]

mc moved on without big wtruggle...tf is airi doing

 

[Deadstar230]

The only thing I actually care about this manga from this point onwards is MC and Fumi being endgame. They are perfect for each other.

Idc about Sakura. She can burn in hell and JAV for all I care.

If Airi was any good at writing compelling drama then this has a chance to happen but veterans of her works seem to disagree

Literally better writing than anything airi dropped. Brother start making a manga

True but unlike sakura fumi learned two things from that one shinobu is a trust worthy man who has her best interests in mind and two people are out to take advantage of her. But regardless fumi and shinobu seem to be joined at the hip for sometime since he is getting to know her and writing a new script centered around her so yes I think this will lead to him accepting her questions is how fast will the pace go.

 

[mageofeverlife]

Then again, it wasn't due to selfish reasons but for mc. There's already a difference between Sakura's other cases and hers

Engagement is still engagement. Kinda like how whales keep gacha games alive when majority are playing for free or with a monthly pass.

I'm 2 people. It's either me, or me having fever dreams

Edit: Oh I replied to the wrong comment lmao

 

[diphuc1]

My beliefs are firm. Shinobu will reject Fumi telling her it wouldn't be fair to her because he believes he can never fully move on from Sakura and just want to focus on his directing job to keep distracted. Kinda glad we got a major timeskip already within a chapter because now I'm super curious how Sakura is faring because we only see her getting a pretty quick new role after signing and then nothing after that.

The difference is that million people are playing gacha games free or paying for little stuff. We are reading it for free and 15 people are engaging. Imagine we would be the one buying this stuff and the jp would only read for free... this manga would be dead in not even half a year. It certainly gives us something to talk about, but that’s also because we’re simply manga readers and get along well on the platform.

Before we get any scenes from her I do hope for more Fumi screentime or better yet it's just her in for the entire chapter as a palette cleanser for everything that happened.

 

[box2024]

This jp comment is kinda funny because I can see it happening

The worst thing that's going to happen next is when Fumi and Nakanishi co-star. Nakanishi will probably make a move on Shinobu's girlfriend soon.

Well I think we will see a lot more fumi from here at least when it comes to shinobu.

I don't know about love scenes but even if Shinobu soft rejects her confession, I think the two will still be joined at the hip until Sakura comes back into the picture.

Okay look, a few days ago I was saying Fumi would get hero own happy ending bonus chapter in the end. Even as the sole ShinoXSaku survivor I would never ever support this, like what fuq.
