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

[KimJonggUno]

Why? like legit you could continue the story with fumi.
Did she take responsibility, accountability for the dick sucking from director and the other dude? nope. She didnt even mentioned it. "does she still get rewarded after all her actions will she be accountable and apologize." she literally got a major role in a tv-drama.
And that’s exactly what I don’t get: you guys want to see her taking responsibility even though you’ve already seen her fucking around—there’s a slight misunderstanding, and suddenly you’re off to the fuckboy’s place, straight into bed, and doing five rounds to boot, lol. And you still hold on the strings of hope that there is nothing except the ophyscial aspect of cheating lmao. Not all of you, a few.
And a few in the forum i guess? Already seen someone who sugarcoated the mistakes and indirectly said that shinobu is also at fault.
And there are some alone in this forum there were a few that named some. In this or the last two chapters + i never said its a common thing. Its just not as rare as back than where the fmc always win/won. And ig there are coming more and more of these sort of stories.

The whole point of the story is preventing the woman you love from getting fucked. Do you think anyone would stick for another 100 chapters of that for 129 to possibly happen again.

We don't even have 5 chapters of the aftermath, do you think it would just show her outcome instantly?

What hope?!? You are just stuck on the idea of her cheating. We want to see more from her side because it's a STORY. We don't want unanswered questions and want to see more content from her side

Also those few that were named were as you said "few". Ask anyone here how often they see FMC swaps when the story is well over the half way mark. It's still few when you count all the stories out there even the toxic leads of stories still get together. Like I said earlier it's extremely rare

Yes it is a Sakura problem.
Yes Shinobu should absolutely focus on himself.

And what I mean by "being no better" isn't necessarily saying he's cheating or anything. What I'm saying is, looking at this as a reader, it would be a bad look for Shinobu to be dating or fucking the very girl those 3 think he's cheated/abandoned Sakura for. Mainly BEFORE Sakura learns the truth.

If they caught wind of their relation it'd only have them view their actions as justified.

What I want is for Shinobu to not focus on dating. Get closer to Fumi yes but right now as a friend/colleague.

What would look better for Shinobu in the eyes of the three?

To see him with the very girl they thought he was already cheating on Sakura with?

Or to see Shinobu on his own and not being in a relationship and focusing on himself?

Either outcome would drastically change their view of him, especially Sakura if she's still unsure of her own actions.

Why though? If anything writting Shinobu to be so hung on Sakura that she affects future relationships would be awful from the readers perspective, especially since he is pretty much written as the most mature character in this story. Sakura herself already staked her relationship with Shinobu on a false truth she didn't bother to verify so why should Shinobu be the one to put his life on hold because of the actual truth when it didn't concern Sakura when they were actually in a relationship?

Exactly the whole premise was about protecting her and guess what? she cheated. Its done.
Yes i think so because the jp decide, and how it looks they want a change.Even if its 50/50. On top if she starts to ntr fumi...
You and I aren't paying, so at the end of the day, what we want doesn't matter to airi at all.
What outcome? she being sad because she cheated lmao. That she is forced? that she is sad because she still have lingering feelings for shinobu but spreads her legs for fuckboi? (would be hilarious)
"You are just stuck on the idea of her cheating" ?????? do we even read the same manga? like it didnt happen already.
Yeah and i hope if we see her side that door closes because its still a ntr story and fuckboi wins in the end.
Agree was mb, rare yet still happens and not impossible.

Because his love for Sakura ran deep enough that even now after months he can't see himself falling in love with another girl, so in his eyes it'd be best to let Fumi know that up front (if he does reject her).

 

[whorainzone]

Shinobu's only real fault is not realizing his actions/guilt because of the incidents with Fumi were causing insecurities to build in Sakura while he was trying hide it from her, no one's sugarcoating and defending the cheating, just dissecting the multitude of factors that had to go into it for things to spiral they way they did as a means of passing time from chapter to chapter. In our dissection we're not claiming the Sakura should be pardoned, just that the different reasons that all contributed are worth acknowledging.

Oh sorry, I discussed with you for so long that you probably thought i meant you. I meant someone else, i saw someone who gave shinobu fault and protected slutkura here in this forum.

No one will keep reading if Fumi becomes the designated FMC in the long run. The immediate response will be positive and people will be happy for Shinobu but sooner than later the number will begin to drop off even faster once they know the confirmed destination of this manga versus the current situation where some things are still up in the air and can change in unexpected ways.

Haha, you're fine, I don't mind these back and forths we have. I'm delusional for sure but not enough to lawyer up for Sakura to have her charges dismissed completely.

Manga will drop anyway after 129. She will get a push once and thats it if she didnt put another shock moment.
And its only a speculation from your perspective. JP want the change at least many other want only ntr. And this is the community who decides if this manga can still continue or not. They buy airi can still continue. They dont this manga will end.
At this point you can argue for both either it will continue or end with the next volume.
But saying "no one will keep reading" is simply false. Many should already be gone bc of 129 yet the manga still holds. If fumi change happens the romcom fans can also be coming back. But thats also just speculation.

Can't he? I mean he had a rough break up, one that ended with cheating at that so I'm gonna wait and see if he can't see himself falling for any other girl, but even if that is the case, it would be such a forced and immature trait

There are also some JP who want a Sakura redemption. Maybe this manga does wrap it all up by 137 and we get an announcement in the coming weeks, anyone's guess. People are still following to see the aftermath play out, once the future becomes more clear than we'll probably get a wave of people dropping.

That's the thing. We all want Shinobu to move on. You saw in this chapter how he still brings her up.

I'm just saying it'd make sense for it to wait till after the movie or after his closure with Sakura.

I want to see Shinobu maintaining his true innocence to Sakura when she realizes her mistake. Being with Fumi before hand just doesn't seem like the right move as it'd only seem valid with their misunderstanding

I don't think Sakura's case is any different; no one would keep reading for a long run if Sakura remained the fmc In the end, her character went to NTR and the manga lost what made it appealing, neither scenario would work in the long run, but I'd say that Fumi could make it work in the short run, while Sakura couldn't.

That's what we'll all be reading the next chapter to find out. This is a fictional work and Shinobu is the MC so anything goes if the author figures it should, I for one would like to see Shinobu have a moment where he brings out his "serious moment" eyes again in a confrontation of the truth and put all the people who wronged him in their place, sailing off into the happily ever after with Fumi can be an optional bonus.

I do pay for it lol. I shared spoiler images of this chapter. What we want doesn't matter to the author most of the time, when they have a story they write it how they want with some control from publishing and editors.

Yes you're done, the rest of us that are actually reading for the story since it's still going on. I don't get why thats so hard to grasp. We want more content, we look forward to reading more content, then we discuss said content. You just dont care why or want to see her side, so its done for you. Everyone else wants to see more and is waiting to see more.

Nobody cared as much the first time since she didnt go all the way and slept with MC afterward, doesnt justify it but had she broke up with him and stayed with director there would be even more outrage than 129. Someone mentioned fuckboi winning in the end also and I as i said before we can't go by H/doujin logic with a published story.

This is an opportunity for Sakura's character to evolve and she has much more room to work with than Fumi who is a side character introduced in the last 20 chapters, the comparison isn't close imo.

I think the purpose of the NTR was to force drama and wrap up the story. As long as its not a cliffhanger ending

Do you have any strong feelings on which ending we're headed for atp.

Sure but that could very well be because he's been alone sulking in his room stewing on the failed relationship so its no surprise that it's still on his mind. However a chance to actually move forward with his life and not Sakura's has presented itself, Sakura's thoughts should be a non factor in this.

So she had to cheat on Shinobu in order to evolve? That doesn't sound good at all. At least Fumi still has the two main elements of Grapara; the romcom element will never return with Sakura's character, and the dynamic between Shinobu and Sakura will never be the same again

 

[KimJonggUno]

I still think MCs will stay with their side characters and NTR them with each other cause NTR blah.
I do want to see more character depth Sakura,Yuma and Fumi. I want to especially see if Yuma is actually genuine with his feelings or did sakura just get caught in a trap. Will Fumi be the opposite of Yuma if she gets rejected and not try to force her love on someone vulnerable.

It would be a nice to see a contrast of Fumi and Yuma handling things opposite of each other, one is support and the other is manipulative but they both love their MCs
