GraPara! - Ch. 134 - By Strip, You Mean…?

do you think the producer is the type to fire the mc or let the mc keep his job

Well, they've already worked together, so the producer is already familiar with Shinobu's abilities. I think that if Shinobu says no to the scene, the producer would accept it.

 

[diphuc1]

A other bad thing bad thing the author could do is fumi having sex with other men calling herself a whore and the mc being forced to watch,

or assassinate Fumi's character and reveal that she was colluding with fucboi the entire time (0 signs of this). Although Fumi has had some sus moments with Shinobu.

do you think the producer is the type to fire the mc or let the mc keep his job

At this stage of the story there I'd say it's impossible unless Shinobu losing his job is somehow deemed some necessity by Airi to split up ShiFumi, and while the producer did go out of his way to also have Shinobu become the writer/director, they also seemed to value Fumi more than Shinobu, and the script is already done.

No way this gets a sequel. I don't even care all that much if they reconcile it would be meaningless unless it's to bring them back together master of ntr makes me laugh a lot.

In the end, Sakura was NTR'd (cheated on). The gravure idol scene is no longer the stage, and now that she's joined an agency, there's no need to worry about Sakura being NTR'd again. While it could continue as a pure love comedy without NTR, ending it at this point suggests a certain aesthetic of the author, Katsura-sensei, that since it's no longer an NTR manga, he, as a master of NTR, shouldn't continue the story. The division among readers between those who want Sakura and Shinobu to reconcile and those who don't was part of the author's strategy, which is why he's likely to end it in a way that leaves it to the readers' imagination whether they reconciled or not. On top of that, I think he's testing how many requests for a sequel he'll get. Of course, I want a sequel too.

Poor guy disappointment is going to hurt him.


Fumi resembled Sakura when Shinobu first met her. Later, Fumi gained experience as a gravure idol, was saved by Shinobu from being cheated on, and their bond deepened. Eventually, they became a couple, and she began her career as an actress. In other words, Fumi is reliving Sakura's history with Shinobu in a rushed manner, but what does this mean? I also don't understand why they have Fumi ask Sakura if it would have been different. Fumi has become a similar presence to Sakura for Shinobu, so will he have to choose between them in the end...? Judging from the number of pages in volume 14, the remaining two chapters will probably have more than double the number of pages... It's so sad that it's ending.

Would be funny but not in a ha ha kind of way.

Sakura, what seemed like a sex scene turned into a real AV → "Nupu," her AV career begins. Her debut title is probably "Gravure Paradise."

Wait another week.

What will you do? What if there's no update tomorrow?

No need to think about a sequel when KA can't even properly handle the og storyline currently. Interesting comparison between Fumi and Sakura, never thought of it like that hoo boy.

 

[box2024]

These are comments on the promo. It's because the netorare was all that was thought about.

I'd really like to see a sequel to Gurapara! 2 (a story set 3 years later), but the official X account has suddenly stopped tweeting since promoting episode 129 where Sakura falls, so I wonder if something happened...it makes me sad, but since it's a series I've been following all along, I'll continue to support it until the end.

Not happening after an axe.

I really hope it continues as "Gurapara! 2 (Akupara?)" somehow! It's been bothering me ever since.

Not all up commenters are idiots yay.

Those who have been watching from episode 1 will agree that Sakura is the one who is being unfaithful. If you only look at volume 13, Shinobu is also at fault, but Sakura's actions afterward are indefensible.

Damn are we sure this is a Japanese person.

The original author intended it to be an NTR love quadrangle. But now it's less about NTR and more about the sheer awfulness of the characters' character. Sakura and Nakanishi's side. They advertised it as a grand conclusion, but there's no grand resolution at all.

Really!

Those who say they can't forgive Sakura should read this carefully and write out exactly what Shinobu did in chronological order. She did things that caused misunderstandings and didn't explain anything, she stopped just short, and she was only thinking about Fumi. Well, if you still can't forgive her, go ahead.

Oh, I hadn't thought of it that way as the second comment points out, Volume 14 would be missing a chapter if we compare it to the previous volumes, so chapters 135 and 136 are probably 30/40 pages long, looking at it that way, the sex scenes probably could fit in.

 

[hugorito420]

Ntr in two chapters with no set-up at all with a random guy yep something Arir would do.

I really want to believe that Airi is not that stupid to make another NTR with out any set up.

Because it would be a stupid decision due the harassment that is happening with her.It could make that harrassment be 2x worse than what is happening with her now.And the mangapoke comments is likely 80-85% is negative comments about the work.

And the volume 14 sellings numbers would be in a huge risk here because some people already that they won't buy the volume 13 and probably won't buy the volume 14.

And the volume 14 we have the crazy 129 to 131 sequence that is more hated than anything and if she ends doing this it could make things worst for her and the publisher.

I think it will be 25 pages each because the volumes usually has 9 or 10 chapters.And in volume 14 with 135 and 136 is 8 chapters so is pretty likely to add a little more of pages but not like 30/40 pages.

Or the last volume will have less chapters.Is normal to the last volume of mangas end with less chapters than the others so it can happen here too.

 

[Alsatia]

I'm gonna call it on Sakura and Shinobu meeting in either the beginning or midway through 135.

Either Mio brute forces it or just the most plot convenient accident. We can't really see it right now though.

We are under 20 hours now.

My prediction is that Shinobu objected to Fumi filming the sex scene without consulting her first, so the production team decided to replace her, and that new actress is Sakura. When Fumi sees this, she’ll feel that Sakura is overshadowing her, which will make her even more insecure. She’ll also see Shinobu and Sakura talking and will end up agreeing to do a sex scene without the MC finding out. The last panel will show Fumi taking off her bathrobe, leaving everything for the final chapter.

If that were to happen the producer would have had to know that shinobu would object to fumi doing the scene in the first place.

 

[Jhon1617]

Man, just imagine Fumi taking off her robe and getting naked, right before filming the sex scene, while in another panel we see Shinobu and Sakura reuniting and talking—leaving everything for the final chapter. Imagine the tension and debate during those 15 days of waiting for the final chapter. Xd 😂😢😢

Tension would definitely be there, but this would imply Shinobu being fired as a director lowkey because how would they film with el director being around. GOTTEM

 

[Jhon1617]

If that were to happen the producer would have had to know that shinobu would object to fumi doing the scene in the first place.

It could be that the producer had already anticipated that and offered the role to an actress who looked like Fumi

I'm just betting on the fact Mio is driving with Sakura in the car and Shinobu is outside walking.

But then again, I could get fucked in the next chapter starting with "the next day" or starting with Sakura getting ready to do her sex scene/return to gravure debut

You're not alone in that feeling, I'd prefer they just pick right up from where it left off in this chapter because the possibilities are so much more fun with queen Mio involved, but the alternative could equally become reality.
