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

[whorainzone]

That's the thing. They would've asked her if she's seeing anyone, and she would've answer. It was a choice of the mangaka not to show it for fake drama. I'm of the opinion that if you decide to omit an obvious part of a conversation for tension, you're a lazy writer. Like scenes when someone asks a question and the author inserts a loud "noise" so the readers don't know what the answer was. If the author doesn't want a piece of information to be revealed, do not write scenes where that information would be naturally disclosed by the Reader's PoV that has been used so far.

But she did it in the last like 3 chapters... she let everything open for interpretation and thats exactly why shes so bad as a author. If you always have to rely to the myterie than your story is just plain boring and trash. The same goes for many other mangas out there detective conan and one piece are the best examples i can get this instant. If you take the mysterie of both, both will become mediocre immediately. And thats why i also think that airi dont know what shes doing 129 had a negative effect that she didnt consider in and thats what made her trip badly with her script. This wont be saved cant see that happening. So im just full let shinobu have his happy end with fumi. If not than yeah hopefully she gets blacklisted lol

From how things are looking it's clear there seems to be some sort of damage control going on. Whether it's what Airi wants to do or she was told to do is unclear. But I got this gut feeling she's trying to salvage Sakura to some degree since she reminisced about the fun she had with Shinobu without even thinking of the absent Fuckboi

Honestly with how you word things it makes me wonder if we're reading the same manga.

I know you're one of those hardcore "Sakura is forever a slut" types but part of the fun in this forum is all the speculating and what if scenarios.

Yea, what Sakura did was bad. REALLY bad. But it's not as simple as "Oh she cheated! She cheated! Slut slut slut slut slut slut slut!!!!". Having a deeper dive is part of the fun.

It's more than just seeing what we see at face value. Shinobu is the MAIN main character. Naturally he gets the focus! So we see things from his perspective. Sakura is the MAIN female character so naturally we also see things and talk about stuff from HER perspective.

One male perspective.
One female perspective.

Mio is a whore And is basically proud of it.
Nagi now seems to be the same but this could be limited to just movies.

Sakura is making choices most of us don't approve of but naturally assume is a part of her downfall. She's doing things on her own because now Shinobu isn't around to guide her. She's easily lead. She's easily seduced.

But it's not as simple as her embracing her "whore phase" as you put it. We just see things from a deeper perspective as opposed to the surface value.

Nagi and Mio ended up being bad influences for her. Yet since we see she acts on what she hears, her accepting this and seeing how it goes is to be expected.

It's almost like we all want something deeper from the story than oh whore bad. Sakura did something foolish in a moment of weakness and someone took advantage of not just sakura's weakness but also shinobu's with the breakup with her and I will make her happy. The one thing about fuckboi is I do not think he knows how to make her happy. When her happiness was working with shinobu and being with him yes her character seems very shallow but I think on reflection that that is because of Arir's weak writing.

 

[Wyrm666]

I mean I hated him, didn't know JP bros hated him that much. I'm still on the fence about him never appearing, but will welcome it.

Contrary to the popular belief, NTR is not worshiped in mainstream manga...

NTR is only popular in porn.

Hot take: Meeting with Nagi and Mio also made it easier for Sakura to confront Shinobu in the future.

What will happen: She'll see Shinobu with Fumi, and she'll break down emotionally again and seek comfort from someone.

Ride's still going, I still see some promise, not goin to worry to much about KA questionable writing,

That's exactly it. You want things from a woman perspective? We get exactly how Sakura got to where she is from what SHE has seen and vice versa with Shinobu. That's why it's not a simple issue. It's more complex cause we can see how it got to where it did and why. Even if we all don't approve of it.

That's why I don't hate Sakura or look at her like a whore. She's just a confused girl I can't help but have pity for.

 

[DoomResetR]

Well will see how far she falls but Arir doesn't torture her female leads or hasn't before so anything sakura dose she will want to do.

The devil is in the details she's not getting punished just being herself. Reminder that her other FMC all did gangbangs and 3P on their own because they love sex.

It's not punishment at all just Sakura getting to know herself better lol. 😈

I understand this but i dont know how you guys see it. When she takes the offer which is highly possible how is she salvaged than? Because she decided this for her own? Because she think it was a mistake with fuckboi?
If she goes with the offer than imo she negates everything she said in "it was a mistake with fuckboi" because she decided to fuck around by herself. She didnt even thought about talking with shinobu even now. And even now she couldnt defend him. I dont know how you see it, but If i had a girlfriend and she was fantastic i wouldnt accepting someone disrespecting this kind person. In this case she STILL doesnt know if its right, recalls her time with him being fun, still things about him and probably more in her alone time and still let mio and nagi trashtalk shinobu even though it wasnt that much. But even that is enough ngl.
It just doesnt seem like airi wants to redeem her.

Yes, especially after both Nagi and Mio confessed to Sakura they like Shinobu too. It made the three of them feel like sisters sharing the same fate.

I do want the harem ending as Shinobu takes all girls, Fumi, Sakura, Chico, Nagi, Mio, etc. LOL

Shouldn't be surprised by that now should we. But dose she have a leg to stand on since you know she left him.

No, this is what that meeting did, allowing Sakura to talk about the breakup to Nagi Mio people from her past with a shared connection to Shinobu, and they were able to lighten the burden of it on Sakura in a weird way. Without this than Sakura might indeed repeat the same actions upon seeing ShiFumi again, especially since they're goin steady themselves now.

We just don't know yet. For all we know she declines but I have heavy doubt about it. Like it was pointed out. She easily acts on what she hears.

Such as when she heard about overwrite sex. She immediately pounced on Shinobu for that.

Had Nagi not mentioned how she used her pain to basically do sex/erotic work in movies. Sakura may very well have not gone through with this. It's hard to say.

But since Mio and Nagi both seemed to be happy from it. This could lead to her sense of escapism or to better her acting.

The karami zakari girls was kinda tortured one was raped and the other one became an nympomanic and she saw the love of her life getting married.(dounjishi version and a spin off that she released)

In the manga only the rape thing happened.

 

[supportingcharacterx]

Honestly after everything that has happened since the cheating incident THIS is the time for Sakura to have some much needed character development. Hoping author doesn’t fumble it.

Nagi and Mio "trash talk" on Shinobu is very different from how you're taking it, relax, they have zero ill will towards him unlike say fucboi and blonde in previous chapters.

I'm not seeing it as part of her downfall but part of her "liberation" as a woman, Sakura is indeed a slut there's no other way around it, you might not like it but that's the truth but nobody said that Katsura airi thinks that being a whore is wrong. Nobody said that Katsura airi believes in honor, logic or any value. She's a woman, Katsura airi's a woman and thus selfish by nature.

None of the stuff you've seen till now is supposed to be seen as moral failure at all. That's how women act, Katsura airi tells you. You have to accept it.

She had character development... just not in the direction most people here wanted. Like, she will do some things consciously instead of "oh, thing is happening, brain shut off"

 

[DoomResetR]

Her character development is to be herself and being surrounded by yes-men and sycophants. It's non-stop selfishness, from the way she breaks up things, to the way she chooses to tell her part of the story, to the way she chooses partners.

You're getting cognitive dissonance because you hold values completely different to Katsura Airi. You're NOT supposed to find Sakura in the wrong but happy, she finally found her calling. She did nothing wrong after all.
