GraPara! - Ch. 133 - A Sultry Night (Censored)

If that scene was meant to be a ntr rape scene then Sakura would be crying for help and Yuma would be over powering her and the scene would end with Sakura getting corrupted/brainwashed, In chapter 129 Sakura let Yuma take her to his home and she let Yuma undress her then she had sex with Yuma and later chapters so are treating it like a one night stand seeing how Yuma is now a background character.

Did you miss that 2 chapters ago they were having sex in small panels as well? It's a routine for both.

Little interesting detail here that is Mio seems to know about Sakura and fucboi so they've probably met a few more times off screen. Mio being really supportive of Sakura here but I'm surprised that she hasn't reached out to Shinobu at all to even get his side of the story, will be curious if this happens next chapter, only thing I'm looking forward to more than the ending is a confrontation of sorts.

I see Mio and Nagi as work friends, not real friends, (Sakura doesn’t seem to have any REAL friends, or that is how it was presented to us) so looking back it makes sense that they only gave a very superficial advice to a “coworker” instead of having a thoughtful conversation. I was really surprised that she is actually speaking as a friend now (Maybe the ghost writer theory is correct lol).

It's the choice of words.
When it is Story Arc the words often used are " xxx arc, reaching climax of the story". Hope that helps you.

Interesting, thanks for the info!

Topic's been thrown around enough, and the dust has more or less settled since it's no longer relevant. I feel like I'm opening up a bag of expired gummy worms but I'll leave at two things that ultimately don't even really matter: 1) Pinned on the ground, 2) Wrist grab instead of hand holding.

But one thing i can see is that fuckboi and Sakura will probably break up here.

Sakura and Shinobu did live under one of Mio's family properties for the majority of the manga so it makes sense that Mio is much closer to the two of them than Nagi. Ghost writer theory is cool and maybe makes it more hopeful for the final chapters who knows. The car conversation was good, but it also made Sakura take the offer, but hey if this makes fucboi dump Sakura I'm all for it in the end.

If I can't have my Shikura ending, just give me the Sakura solo ending where she transfers to Mio's agency and can happily take on any work she likes without fucboi complaining about it rubbing off on his own public image, because like brother you were hitting on a girl you knew had a boyfriend and even though it was under the idea that she was cheated on, you sex'ed her up for the whole night right after seeing her in a vulnerable position.

GC pushed their readers to the limit but didn't spat out on their faces like Grapara did.

The fact we are actually praising GC for being consistent is a testament on how shit Grapara is and even worse, how shit of a writer Airi is...

That speaks volumes...

and there is one BIG reason:

The women in GC do have accountability in their universe.

Sakura seems 100% resolved to take the offer after the Mio talk in the car, fucboi probably won't like that, and it doesn't seem they're that emotionally attached to one another after all these months so I can see fucboi just moving on with his career and finding another girl.

the car conversation was good, but it also made Sakura take the offer,

I‘m going to keep this as I did everything else; if it’s not 100% confirmed by the manga itself, then it’s only speculation

 

[SS-2010]

Wow, a friend of mine just gave me a sweet ending that @diphuc1 might like it !

He said Sakura and Shinobu will meet and both said "I’ve found that having my dream come true means nothing without you by my side. I love you. Could we go back to how we used to be? " Then they end up together without correcting the misunderstanding because it's unnecessary.

It's a positive idea but it's too good to be true ending, right?

IMHO, if Airi Katsura (sensei) had been fired already and someone else had taken over the story for chapters 134 till the end, it might be possible that the ending would be like that. LOL

 

[Edway89]

If it is ending in 2 chapters we are definitely getting a rushed ending, because no way everything can be resolved in 2 chapters.

 

[Phantasmoon]

One thing i'm sure is the jp fans is still hating her.

You know you fucked up royally when your own people spite you for wasting both time and money of the reader with ch.129.

To make things more hilarious, she stated the choice was greenlighted by her editor throwing him under the bus as well haha, the only one safe is the artist which is carrying this trainwreck of a writing.

At least we can say that Airi's mangaka carrer is over.

Too litle too late, nobody likes Sakura anymore enough to save this series.

Noted, and I very much agree, just up in my feelings atm.

The cope is laid on extra thicc here. Surely the MCs do meet again at least once within the final two chapters, really hoping it's the next one with the extra wait time for it. Is this the same friend that was a big Kodansha fan. Not corrrecting the misunderstanding seems a bit weird, but we still need to see what becomes of fucboiXSakura. If KA stops promoting GraPara! over the next 2 weeks then we'll know for sure, the writing in his chapter did feel a bit different compared to the rest.

That's why I said the editor got sacked lol.

One can only hope, I’m certainly skipping anything I know she is involved with.

 

[whorainzone]

It’s crazy—truly crazy. Just think about it: you spend three years building your reputation, churning out bait content and characters people actually like, only to end up acting out your fetish and ruining your career in the span of five weeks. LMAO.

There has been no official announcement afaik. There is a note at the end of this chapter saying "2 more chapters until the end" but to me it is unclear if it refers to end of the volume or end of the manga.

If it concludes with this volume, that means there are 3 chapters left. However, if it is announced to end in 2 chapters, this volume will contain only 9 chapters instead of the usual 10. This implies an abrupt cancellation effectively being cut short by having the final 3 chapters condensed into 2 ....
