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

[MrPP118]

Once again you guys need to recognize that there's no plot twist whatsoever. No roundabout way too show that anything here it isn't as if it's shown. Fuckboi isn't evil, or clever he just wanted to fuck her brains out and be in a relationship with her. Blonde girl isn't evil but just wanted a friend in the same job as her (low budget TV treadmill), it might be a shitty acting career for Sakura and it might have unforeseen consequences (like sleeping around with higher ups and directors) but she chose this path.

Sakura is not a victim of a master plan, she's not depressed due to a break up, she doesn't even feel guilty. She's as happy as she can be, getting railed day and night. She might be sad and envious over her career in low budget TV instead of the increasingly likely prestige film career path of Fumi and Shinobu but that's it.

Hmmm, I get the view but uh...I think Playboy is twisted and blonde girl if nothing else is being a malicious bitch ignorantly, but back to playboy, you can't say that his intentions are 100% pure.

He took advantage of an emotionally vulnerable girl to fuck her, even when she was saying no, it was weak and pathetic, but she still told him no and he ignored that and as I just commented recently, I don't think he has any romantic intentions for her, if he does he certainly isn't showing it beyond sex.

Take a look at when they actually had sex, when they were finished, did he cuddle up to her? Did he hold her close? Nope, he sat on the edge of the bed facing away from her, like one would when they're done with a sex worker or even a basic sex toy.

Sakura certainly "chose" this path but she was manipulated into going down it.

 

[MrPP118]

Nothing against Fumi but she is the reason the misunderstanding happened and I could see that being one of the reasons Shinobu will refuse, he doesn't blame her but views them as coworkers. Shinobu now sleeping with Fumi will also remove the importance of clearing up the misunderstanding which feels self-destructive and we've had plenty of that already. Like you say tis all just guess work we're throwing around for the sake of it to see which side is more likely to win out.

I have to agree, if Fumi and Shinobu start a sexual relationship now then there's no positive way for Shinobu to clear up the misunderstanding with Sakura if they just start jumping each other's bones, since if the truth comes out to Sakura alongside the fact that Shinobu and Fumi are actually having sex now then playboy and blondie can just go "Oh you weren't fucking her before but you started fucking her without even mending things with Sakura! Teehee she was right to move on then!"

Fumi and Shinobu can absolutely start a relationship but the sex shouldn't happen next chapter, give it a few more chapters, another timeskip even, let Shinobu finish things with Sakura one way or another, then those two can have their happy ending.

But really, right now I'm seeing a lot of possibilities, most of them are dependant on Sakura's POV but right now, all I'm really thinking is if Sakura's situation turns out to be toxic and she starts getting mistreated then even if Fumi and Shinobu start a relationship then the moment Shinobu catches wind of Sakura's troubles I can see Fumi getting sacrificed so Shinobu can save Sakura.

 

[Alsatia]

Why are you so against Fumi x Shinobu when everything points at that? Don't you see that this will also work in your favor? How you ask? Getting them together here would also be an attempt to retcon Sakura's character assassination. She slept with someone else, he slept with someone else... So there would be no reason for both of them to resent each other about that.

Non of us saying he will for sure reject Sakura for Fumi. We hope for it, but guessing the ending at this point is like guessing this weeks lottery numbers lol

Honestly I get where he's coming from and I'm on Team Fumi. It just doesn't feel right at this time.

It wouldn't fit Shinobu as a character to just accept her like that. Plus this wasn't really a confession. If anything this chapter is just Fumi wanting to have him give her more attention.

I want Fumi to be with Shinobu but I want Shinobu to have his needed closure by meeting Sakura or expressing how he feels through this movie if it does go that route.

This is better explained than mine so listen to this one.

I think that old interview proves that the romcom tag was a rug pull from the beginning nobody wants to read an 131 chapter ntr that lasts a whooping 2 fucking chapters and is an endless humiliation ritual and L taking for the male lead I see why she stopped engaging with readers she is but hurt that nobody seems to like the ntr aspect.

Agree with you. If the author want to do the extreme NTR, why said it's NTR love comedy? Where is the comedy? Where is the love comedy? The plot is not a NTR but a very cheap NTR that anyone can think of. It's dishonesty from the start. I'm afraid the author may end up in jail if people gather and sue her.

 

[Wyrm666]

95% true, but there are some people like myself who are really curious to see Sakura PoV and thoughts post time skip and how she's faring in her new setting outside the bedroom.

We will never see Sakura's full train of thought. Like we never saw Iida's. The character would sound completely retarded and/or broken if we did.

Imagine in the last epilogue of Karami Zakari we would've seen Iida's motivation: "hmm, Kousei is getting married so my gift to him is a last scene of me being defiled by many men i barely know because i want to send him off our own way. so i'll be here alone and pumped full of cum while I watch him getting married because, i don't know, something something wanting the hapiness of the one i love."

So what about Sakura? Assuming she has been getting it on left and right: "it hurt so much when he cheated despite the fact that i never even confirmed that is even true. but somehow i let the actor mess me up while shinobu was trying to contact me and now I don't even want to talk to him because now that i stop to think for two seconds it might've been a misunderstanding but it's too late, i don't want to admit that after all he did for me, i jumped in bed with the first guy that put his fingers up my coochie. And now I have to put out left and right because, since i don't have a guy who loves me fighting to get me roles in movies, that's the only way i can guarantee some minor roles in tv dramas. oh, i still love him, but this is who i am now and what i deserve. because picking up a phone and say hi is too much for a young adult like me to do. woe is me."

 

[jonasadan]

I have a question, how is the misunderstanding going to be resolved? I don't think Shinobu wants to resolve it because that would surely just cause problems for Sakura in the future; he thinks she's doing fine at the new agency, so I don't see why he would want to resolve it

To be fair a twisted sense of love could happen.

But on another note I wouldn't see her thoughts like this. We have to remember that, will wise, Sakura has become weak unlike in the beginning half of the manga. Her ending it with Shinobu via text is merely her means of escape. That much is clear.

But seeing how she's doing now would clarify how she's handling things. I wouldn't be surprised if she still has a sense of longing for Shinobu despite her having sex with Yuma. There are characters that cope like that. This would be no different. She just doesn't try to see him because

1. She wouldn't know what to do upon seeing him.
2. She's easily swayed as seen how hard Blondie and Fuckboi were pushing her to be with them.

She's not exactly a strong character mentally. That much is evident.

That's just it, Shinobu thinks she's doing fine, the setup has already been planted, especially since we still haven't seen Sakura's POV, if Shinobu somehow catches word that Sakura is being mistreated or is suffering, he will reach out to her.

That aside, I think Shinobu would still want to to solve the misunderstanding so he can move on.

 

[diphuc1]

Bit of food for thought for those convinced that fuckboi and Sakura are going out as a couple (could still be sexfriends), remember Sakura despite her weak mental fortitude actually possesses a pretty acute emotional intelligence, able to pick up on when Mio was starting to fall for Shinobu. After calming down a bit there's a chance she decides to not hook up with fuckboi despite signing with his agency.

More than likely via Fumi. She might feel guilty for somewhat causing the events and the main one there for the misunderstandings

If we need an example of a character like this. Nagi is the perfect example.

She loves Shinobu. She wanted to be with him. Yet he stuck by Sakura's side. How does she cope? By letting two men have sex with her. Like she just gave up.

This can't fully be said for Sakura, again she did put up resistance to Yuma, but once she had her orgasm, ant resistance went out the window. It happened with the director too but Toppy's involvement canceled that out.

Fumi is one angle, but I feel its gotten more complicated now with time skip of a few months. How likely do you think the movie script Shinobu is going to write up becomes the fix as they start producing the movie.

 

[Xain]

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.

Bro, he made her cum hard. In 129, you can clearly see it in the last panel. In her sex with Shinobu, we never get to see evidence of her cumming, just her feeling super good which could be attributed to her being new to this and her love for Shinobu. In ntr, cumming to another man's dick is the prime indication (and foreshadowing to a mind-break or brainwash) that she enjoyed it more than her actual boyfriend. And the thing is that if he consistently makes her cum this way over the course of a few months, THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY she isn't his no matter how much bad or guilty she feels. I hope its different from typical ntrs tho. I shouldn't have revisited these chapters dammit, now I am sad again

 

[Wyrm666]

I agree, very safe to assume such but because Sakura doesn't have many remarkably defined features, the author does have the option of rugpulling this into it being a Sakura look alike, thought I can't see why they would, just point it out. Really just need that Sakura PoV.

Yes, that is why I say that based on what we know, she might have just been pumped one time and the panels on 131 are just Shinobu's imagination. Or she might just be starfishing with the fuccboi when he tells her to without feelings. Or she might be getting D left and right for parts and agency PR.

We don't know.

What I know is the following: what will happen will be a function of sales and reactions and not of character development or planned narrative. The chances that 131 was the original storyboard are so slim because it does feel like damage control. Sakura and fuccboi's panels are there to gauge reader reaction, that's why you can't really tell whether they are real or just Shinobu ruminating. They will be whatever the editor thinks it's best to keep the sales going...

Thats why it's essential we see how Sakura is doing after this time skip of several months.

The only thing we've seen of her so far is that one panel of her with Yuma in bed. We don't even know if that's real or just Shinobu's thoughts on what's happening as he wallows in her room. But again, this could be just a coping mechanism and a distraction to take her mind off of things. Sad as that is to say.

We won't know until we see her side of the time skip.

That sounds like hardcore NTRs. This is budget NTR with restrictions. I doubt editor and publishing would want it to go towards that especially with the backlash

 

[Wyrm666]

"I want to portray Sakura as a girl whose thoughts are inscrutable,"

Iida Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

 

[jonasadan]

Yeah, I think that's the only way to happen. As long as he sees that Sakura is doing “well”, he won't try to clear up the misunderstanding.

In the same vein there's a chance that after all this time fuckboi has found another girl he's interested in and either has a side chick rotation or has moved on from Sakura himself.
