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

[whorainzone]

I think my favorite comment was a JP guy calling us "foreigners“ weird for not appreciating her work.

This guy was upset because we actually have standards when it comes to story writing

lol dude acting like the majority of jp themselves liking this writing... what an idiot lmao

My favorite jp post was a comment saying that even the foreigners are calling for her to rewrite ch 129 and the nests comment was good I hope they succeed.

See this jp comment doesn't work because fu I doesn't know the full story of what happened that night she dose not know sakura cheated on shinobu just that they broke up shit she doesn't even know how they broke up.

Shinobu thinks that since Sakura's work is going well, it's fine to leave things as they are and maintain the misunderstanding. Sakura thinks that she can't face Shinobu anymore because she got carried away and cheated on him (← I'm guessing that's what she thinks). So, it seems like the only way for Sakura to find out the truth is for Fumi, who knows the whole story, to act as a go-between. And if Fumi and Shinobu end up in a mutual relationship, there will be no need to tell Sakura the truth, so the truth will be buried in darkness, and Sakura won't have to suffer the emotional pain of being misunderstood. I really hope Sakura reflects deeply on her actions, deeper than the ocean.

Now that I think about it fumi apologizing th sakura for causing the misunderstanding between her and shinobu without her knowing that sakura cheated on him and was getting her cheeks clapped all night while they were looking for her would be fuckin funny.

If we don't get any dark plot twist, this is probably the only way to make her fully regret her actions and make way for any possibility to have "Team Sakura" win.

I think just conveying the Shinobu not cheating part would be enough lmao. Again though, with the time skip now being a thing the confrontation has to be a lot more impactful for the reveal beyond a simple "he never cheated" because months have gone by. Fumi doesn't need to know the full details, but we'll see if Shinobu decides to try and move one, or will the guilt haunting him all these months condemn him to a loner lifestyle for a bit longer.

What I never said it would pave the way for team sakura it would just give fumi a guilt free pass for shinobu.

Ya no way did she expect this kind of backlash.


Since it's an NTR romantic comedy, it's inevitable that Sakura will eventually get NTR'd, but I think it would have been better if the NTR was triggered by an unavoidable, forceful event. For example, a scenario where she gets NTR'd by a big-name actor or producer. I could imagine the story reaching its climax when Sakura overwrites her feelings with Shinobu, and then quickly descending from there, but in the end, the sex with Nakanishi became Sakura's infidelity rather than NTR, and I think the discomfort for viewers was immense. Also, five times is too much, and I think there are many people who liked Sakura, so I question the plot that makes Sakura out to be the bad guy.

It really will suck if the manga ends without clearing the misunderstanding. I fully understand that it really doesn't matter at this point anymore relevant to the state of the story and given the time skip but man if we get some more of those reveals we're hoping to in 132 it could be brutal.

are jp really stupid or what are these statements? its a ntr romcom, you cant just put hard ntr into the story the same you cant go with romcom the whole time, you have to find a balance. And this balance was the exact thing people already stated here in this forum. The baits are enough of ntr its not a doujin at the end of the day. And the romcom after the baits are enough romcom. If you want to tell a story, you can't just throw away the premise and pretend it's okay. The premise is still the fundamental building block of the story.Jp getting more stupid each day passes. I really expected more from them. But actually, it’s the minority that thinks so stupidly.

 

[box2024]

So that comment I posted that was up for 10 minutes has been deleted why would they delete it? I mean it was critical but mildly critical.

Clearing the misunderstanding might work after all this time, if Sakura essentially realises that she moved on and broke up because of a lie that she herself believed, that Shinobu cheated on her, and the realisation that she was the one who cheated and making it all ironic, which might break her. Only way to me, for it to sink very deep is if she is going through something with her new agency, that made her remember her time with Shinobu and all the things he did for her that contrasts with this new agency.

People are angry because the script is full of plot holes. Why was Sakura able to send a message to Shinobu but Shinobu didn't send one back to explain the situation? Why didn't anyone speak to Sakura, not even Fumi, who is suspected? Why did Chico make no attempt to contact Sakura at all as we all know she's very aggressive, she just say "stupid" and ask nothing? Chico and Fumi both have Sakura's phone number, why didn't they contact Sakura by phone?

So many things defy logic. In the hands of a different writer, these characters would have reached out to Sakura. Instead, the story has it that absolutely no one did anything and Sakura simply vanished?

Airi Katsura sensei just wanted to separate Sakura and Shinobu without caring about narrative consistency. So it comes the sloppy script.

Readers are therefore confused as they try to find a rational explanation for the author's irrationality.

So, we did not know what the author is going to do! Everything proceeded in a rushed manner, without any supporting reason.

The only explanation that doesn't even justify it is that this is all still part of the setup. Now that fuckboi's achieved his goals we might see something beneath that perfect mask he's had on, maybe even in 132. All this assuming Katsura is not spiting Kodansha to avoid being too doom about it. Of Shinobu might just try to move on with Fumi just as well but I don't see it personally.

I don't think the author wants Sakura to know the truth because the intention was to separate her from Shinobu permanently. Otherwise, they could have simply used another character to contact Sakura (Chico and Fumi have Sakura's phone number) without resorting to that ridiculous time-skip. After all, Sakura had already been written out of the story.

The author isn't crafting a story the way we imagine but she is cramming various elements in without regard for coherence. Just to finish the chapters.

It's really stupid, but I think the only reasonable explanation I can see is that Shinobu is the only one who knows what really happened, and he probably told the others that they broke up by mutual agreement and probably told them not to bother Sakura about the breakup

What I hate is that this is very in character for Shinobu (bless his heart).

He easily wouldn't give the details that it was Yuma who was requesting for the official break up. He also wouldn't want them to bother Sakura because he still believes this is the best choice for her in terms of her career.

There is increasingly little room for doubt in this, 132 will probably make it crystal clear. If there was ever a time to subvert expectations and kowtow before the publisher for forgiveness it would be now rather than continue the ego trip that started in 128.

The fucboy is a real good guy (in the sense of truly loving Sakura) as you can see in chapter 124. There is nothing to do with him anymore as he'll disappear with Sakura. May be we'll not see them at the end of the story as well!

Normally, chapter 129 would have played out similarly to the encounter with the director, with Sakura surviving at the last moment. However, because the author must end the series by chapter 137 (assumption), the plot had to be altered, Sakura was raped and addicted to pleasure and then she was written out of the story in an illogical manner. Now it's time for Shinobu x Fumi and then end the series. That's all Airi Katsura sensei did. We are debating the author's reasons, but in reality, she's no reason. That's just my opinion. I do wish I'm wrong because I don't want Grapara to be destroyed.
