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

[box2024]

I just want on next chapters a painel of Fumi house at night then a painel of sunrise then Shinobu comes out for couple mins and quickly returns with full bag of condoms and we see painel again morning at night. And full sex scenes all the way. We need this at this point. For the plot ofc 🫡

Why do we need the condom's? Any ways the longer this manga goes on the more likely the author intends to get him and sakura back together so if there is no announcement after volume 13 with 14 being the last I would start to worry.

One thing that is absolutely clear (atleast for me) is that this is all damage control right now, with the timeskips and this whole fiasco of keeping things completely ambiguous (like not showing faces during sex or lack of sakuras actual feelings right now after months) where there is no clear ending means that they are purposely trying to keep the readers hooked until they find a good cover up for the shit they did. Someone probably pressured airi, because if it went her original way, we would've gotten a lot more detailed ntr stuff after 129. Looking back at 131, there was a lot of clarity regarding how shinobu handled this as well confusion at the same time where anything is possible in the future. I know this might be a mistake but I am giving the team the benefit of the doubt to somehow give us semi-happy ending.

Weird thing is I don't think she has been pressured I just don't think she thought passed the netorare. Or maybe she has and is setting up a rug pull on us but more will become clear with shinobu's response to fumi and finding out what sakura is thinking. Those are the last two big pieces of the puzzle that will not give the ending away but it will give us a more narrow direction.

FYI cowboy bebop is the best anime ever made and I will die on that hill

Yep, regardless of where the series heads, after the amount of shit that got thrown in the comments on mangaplus, the editors absolutely put Airi on a tight leash.

Right now I would not be surprised if Sakura is suddenly treated horribly in the next few chapters and then she and Shinobu work things out, but I'm still hoping Fumi doesn't get used up and actually gets a happy end with Shinobu, let Sakura discover the truth but Shinobu needs to stand his ground and reject her.

But we can't know for sure , if it dose end with him back with that idiot then I'm telling you the seed was planted with that ambiguous sex scene.

Of course it was, I always thought as much, we can't see Sakura's face clearly during that scene, we STILL don't know her thoughts, so whether that was just a flashback to the night fuckboi first had sex with her or whether they're having sex in the present, Sakura is still passive about it and just letting fuckboi do as he pleases.

As always, we can only have a rough idea of where the story will head if Sakura "falls" and starts initiating sex with playboy herself, if she starts kissing him herself, if she's just letting him do what he wants while still feeling guilty then that opens a clear path to blondie and playboy eventually abandoning Sakura or something.

Fumi enjoyers might torch me, but I also think it's equally important before we get Sakura PoV that Shinobu is able to reject Fumi either straight up or a soft rejection until after they're done with the movie. If Fumi and Shinobu officially hook up in the next chapter it makes it even more difficult to resolve the remaining questions in the story as well as making the truth reveal lose a bit of its impact.

Not really if shinobu takes fumi then ya him a sakura's breakup are likely permanent we may still get closure in the movie making arch but they won't end together. I hope.

Idk, I think revealing the truth has lost impact since the timeskip happened; I think it would just serve as a form of closure for Shinobu

Fair, also while it is highly suggestive of, it is not a fact that Sakura and fuck officially hooked up. How does Sakura feel after she had time to calm down, we know Sakura's family had issues with cheating/abandonment, and while it was a misunderstanding, does Sakura view what she did with fuckboi in the moment as cheating on her own part or something totally justified. Considering all of this and since no real follow up has been shown just yet, I could see a chance where she also reject hooking up with fuckboi for her own reasons.

I feel it's a bit more complicated than that, because the time skip has allowed for the misunderstanding to continue as the truth for all these months, it means a simple "I/He never cheated on you" statement will definitely fall flat at this point if that is what Fumi or Shinobu try to tell Sakura. This is why I really like the introduction of the new movie project setup in this chapter, if the goal is some how to incorporate key events that mirror the ones that caused the misunderstanding into the movie to serve as a more indirect but powerful way of finally revealing the truth. Pretty sure the movie is also romance themed so if Airi drops the ball (which won't surprise many), then it is what it is, but I'm feeling pretty hopeful.

Exactly this. As it was mentioned earlier, there's the high likelihood that Sakura has had more sex with fuckboi during the past few months. But if anything, that one panel just shows she's not really into it. She's just letting it happen. We don't know her thoughts or how she feels about it. She's just pushed around in her agency and what I want to see is how she is when she's alone.

With Fumi, I wouldn't be surprised if Shinobu does a soft rejection to her. He's still too conflicted with Sakura to be in another relationship. If anything what I want next chapter is for Fumi to clarify that they didn't sleep together that night and, most hopefully, Shinobu to simple tell Fumi "wait for me" till he is ready for a relationship. Driving him further to have some kind of closure with Sakura.

Well to be blunt she is almost certainly fucking fuckboi question is is shinobu someone she still cares about? If she doesn't it's over if she does then the door hasn't been shut by the author on them completely. But for her point of view shinobu was cheating on her and worse abandoning her. But don't get your hope up the see her in Shinobu's arms again.

See its the way that certain things were drawn in this chapter compared to previous ones that make you think "almost". Shinobu imagining fuckboi and Sakura doing it in detail with clearly defined faces, different positions, into those final three scenes where details are a little more specific/reserved to not really confirm anything (other than sex and fuckboi) and given Katsura Airi history, it could be a Sakura look-alike being shown (Riho vs Akaneya in Karami). Fair to say this could all just be overthink in the end, but worth mentioning until the Airi reveals the next part of the story.

I completely agree, the timeskip makes it clear Shinobu is still caught up on Sakura, Shinobu and Fumi shouldn't have sex let alone start dating until the misunderstanding is cleared up and Sakura knows the truth, they can get close and bond but I want them to take it slowly.

Exactly.
There's no hugging, no leg locking, no kissing. We don't even see their faces. Granted upon looking at the panel it does look like they're at least looking at each other. We just don't see their faces.

For Yuma it could be out of his love but for Sakura it could just be for the sake of pleasure. But it's not exactly screaming romance either.

Idk, I think we're overanalyzing the scene, there are only three panels in it. I think it's obvious that it won't be as explicit as the one in 129, where you could clearly see that Sakura was returning the fuckboi kisses. I still believe this is just a way of showing how each of them is dealing with the breakup

I still don't think Yuma is in love with Sakura at all, he saw a pretty face and wanted it for himself, seeing Shinobu and Fumi "together" was probably the silver bullet he never knew he could get.

We have some red flags in these last few chapters, previously he was shown as being "nice" when he helped Sakura but when he got the chance, he took advantage of her in an emotional state and fucked her, Sakura is submissive as all hell but she did tell Yuma "no" but he still went for it.

Then there's that meeting with Shinobu, again, it seems like he's being "nice" and setting all the cards on the table for Shinobu so he can just let Sakura go and he can make her happy but I don't trust it at all, I'm convinced in one of these next few chapters if not the very next one, we're going to see his true colours.

Something someone else mentioned in a previous thread, after he was done having sex with Sakura, he didn't cuddle up to her, he sat on the edge of the bed drinking water, that doesn't scream romantic, that looks more like someone finished with a sex toy.

Who cares if its out of pleasure or love. What does that change?

Sakura is still a cheater who betrayed someone who did everything for her. She still never attempted communication and opens her legs from getting touched. She obviously didn't trust Shinobu, hence cheating on him. Shes still selfish and ghosted Shinobu not caring about how he felt. She still did things significantly worse than kissing someone, like sucking dick, and hid it from Shinobu. Also, all that dick sucking and getting fingered didn't seem to mentally bother her at all earlier in the story.

What the hell does it matter if she's sleeping with fuckboi for pleasure or love? Shinobu winding up with Sakura would be unbelievably unfair for Shinobu.

Sometimes just a few panels is all that's needed to emphasize or show something. "A picture speaks a thousand words" as they say. But it could very well be overanalyzing lol

This is also true. We don't know how Yuma is after these past few months which, again, emphasizes the important of having a Sakura chapter or two to see how things are on her end. There's even the theory that the girl in the panel is just a Sakura look alike.

Has the agency already began to show disinterest in Sakura? Are they seeing what she's really capable of which is why she's only getting side roles at the moment? Has the agency already began to show it's true colors to her?

It's details like these that we need to know.
