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

[box2024]

Literally me. I wasn't all for Sakura after what she did. With Yuma.

Yet all this analyzing and speculating made me realize that there is still a chance for Sakura to make things right.

She's a cheater, but she doesn't know that. She felt Shinobu already abandoned her.

She has fault. No denial there. But it wasn't entirely her fault.

Plus how ironic is it that the girl who has issues because her parents went through cheating/abandonment ends up doing the exact thing she was afraid of? There's no way that's not going to be brought up, hopefully through self realization.

Simply put. I'm looking at Sakura with pity rather than disdain.

See this is why I can't completely hate her I don't want her to get back with shinobu I don't think that's were the story is going I want him to get a win with fumi but I will not be mad at not hate if they do get back together.

Cheating is just such a small fraction of it all, look at the other comment I just mentioned all the issues beyond just cheating

Oh it absolutely is. Cheating played a big part, but compared to the overall aspect its hardly the sole reason.

People just like to square in on that moment and settle it there without looking at the context of the situation, and Sakura as a character, as a whole.

Exactly. If they do pull Sakura getting back to Shinobu.

She has to earn it. Not just have it be handed to her. And that's gotta be a big step for it to be earned.

And this isn't a doujin...

If they get back together it won't be with a depressed Shinobu taking care of a kid that doesn't look at all like him while Sakura is getting ready to meet the director of the next movie and "by the way, since we will be drinking I might stay at an hotel, ok honey?"

 

[diphuc1]

If we find out Sakura is happily living out her new life without a shred of remorse with fuckboi and totally in love with him than I'd feel a bit more of the hate for Sakura myself. However if its shown that she's not even with fuckboi anymore, is struggling in her new agency, and is in a bad mental spot post time skip, then her current situation truly will be pitiable because Shinobu right now just shot past both fuckboi and Sakura as far as career power moves go imo. Another funny thing to consider, if Sakura's recent thing is "All it take is a kiss for me to cheat on you", then Shinobu's has always been "All it takes is for me to see you unhappy and the world will burn."

If well done that would make the fandom rejoice. People are not against reconciliation plots, people are against stupid plots or fetish fests.

I don't think Katsura Airi can pull it off in a way that will make sense while still being her work, but hope springs eternal.

We don't know yet how this will end hell we aren't even sure what direction it's going right now what we can say is sakura is with fuckboi in some capacity like having sex with him and fumi has confessed her love for shinobu she isn't demanding he answer right away at least we think. If those two have sex next chapter I will be very surprised pleasantly I might add if we get sakura and fuckboi going at it again it will close the door on shinobu for her and will be mostly a waste of a chapter.

Way past actor versus director slash writer he has the power in that match up.

I think she did well when it came to the manga version of that entanglement story.

Even the ending of that doujin had an ending you don't see often where the MC was getting married but Iida's only "joy" is when she sends videos of her getting fucked to him. Bittersweet but not a bad ending.

She's capable of it. It's just we know there's no falsity in Sakura having fully slept with another man.

 

[900samm]

Who cares what her circumstances are at the moment. Again, she cheated (all night 5 times at a minimum),didnt communicate, sucked dick a few times before this, hid everything from Shinobu, ghosted him, didnt communicate at all during this whole thing, left via text, didnt care about how her actions would effect her supposed lover (he's miserable now), didn' trust Shinobu, believed some random fuckboi over her boyfriend, betrayed all of Shinobus good will over years.

Naaaah no situation where they end up together is good. This is someone we know is toxic getting together with someone we know isnt. That's not a good ending.

It would certainly feel forced, and I'm not even sure why. Plenty of trashy Mangas abandoned the initial couple and didn't feel the need to force them back.

Of course we don't know, but it's safe to assume that 129 is the furthest this manga veered into doujin territory unless Katsura Airi no longer wants to create mainstream manga after this.

The reason would be because "She's the FMC", as far as im concerned that would be the only reason they end up together. Which yes, is forced

True that's why it seems permanent to so many.

That bangaihen and Niiyama's are the only palatable things coming out of Karami Zakari for me.

Not necessarily. A redemption arc can be amazing if done well.

The problem is I don't believe Katsura Airi can and wants to do it well. She always has to crush some of the MC's dignity.

I don't think she wants them back together at all here is hoping he gets fumi and no retarded stuff happens there the netorare has been can we be done with it already.

She still has no answer as to why her loved one had no say in the narrative in her head but other people did, especially ones that she knows wants so be with her. Unless there is a understandable explanation to this that isn't handwaved away with "she just has issues" pity is like the last thing she should recieve. Perhaps a "Relationship of Dummies" book or something

 

[Wyrm666]

In this case the only argument is to somewhat preserve the initial premise of the manga.

A relationship for dummies would definitely help lol

Sure but I can't imagine a bigger "I don't know what I'm doing" moment for the writer than going that route
