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

[VuongOuki]

Butting opinions is fun isn't it. They deserve each other. No one knows what Airi wants, she might not even be completely in control of how these last two chapters go. Sakura hate is still massive right now so we'll see if they have anything for it.

No matter how hard Kodansha tries, Sakura will still end up being utterly hated.

 

[diphuc1]

The chapter 129 turned Sakura from FMC to be a villain till now and can't be fixed because readers hated her so much.

But if we look at the core of Shinobu’s feelings, it's a desire to ensure Sakura’s success and happiness. He allowed her to switch agencies for the sake of her career and he agreed to break up with her because he believed she was happy with that fucboy assuming from they spent the night together while he's finding her.

If the final 2 chapters reveals to Shinobu that Sakura is actually unhappy both in her career and with fucboy. He'll know that his sacrifices had been in vain. So sad.

What do you think he would do? Could he really go on living happily with Fumi without stepping in to help Sakura? I don't think so.

It depends on the author, what kind of ending she or the ghost writer wants (or Kodansha wants). I don't know why there are 2 chapters left though there should be 3 chapters.

They’ll definitely have to include something extra to compensate for volume 14 being too thin, likely chapter 133.5 or perhaps more than one special chapter. How else could they get dissatisfied fans to buy the volume without fixing chapter 129 which include in volume 14 as well? Is chapter 133.5, a love scene between Shinobu and Fumi, really enough to convince people to buy it?

Kodansha revenue relies on volume sales. Still don't know what the will do to boost the sales apart from lessen the loss caused by Airi Katsura (sensei).

Ships are colliding, Shikura walks away. Maybe the bonus chapter will have more pages than usual to make up the extra space.

At this point I don't see it as a means of adding to a happy ending. When replying to some else it hit me with how the talk could possibly go.

As I've said, I've basically come to terms with Sakura not facing any sort of punishment for sleeping with Fuckboi. With 2 chapters left I just don't think there's time for it.

The two may very well meet. Ideally, next chapter. Mio and Sakura see Shinobu. And the two talk. Nothing is brought up. Nothing about Shinobu's innocence. Nada. Maybe how fuckboi told Shinobu that he had sex with Sakura, which may further strengthen her resolve and cut ties with fuckboi further.

Ideally, she tells him she's going back to doing guavure work. It seems like she's made the realization that that's what she wants to do because of the fun she's had with it. Mio is there to support her. Shinobu sees this and trusts Mio. Knowing Sakura is in good hands, he'll support her. Ending things on good terms.

Then we cut to Fumi. The talk strengthening Shinobu's resolve. Vowing Fumi that he will support and protect her while she also wants to support him. Bringing them closer together. Hence, the two being together with Shinobu and Sakura being on good terms.

If I had to condense everything to try and salvage what I can for this manga. That's probably how I'd do it. This likely means no sex scene unless there's an epilogue chapter but.. that's one direction I could see this going. But that's if it happens. This could very well be wrong lol

Not bad, a proper damage control without fucking it up.

Hope the editorial can save this.

Can’t Kodansha just hire you to write these last two chapters?

Hey I'd be down if they were willing to pay. Lol

Kodansha hit me up! I got you!

 

[diphuc1]

Shinobu deserves everything. But def not slutkura. One misunderstanding was enough to go cheat on him. Without redemption there is no way she deserves him just because she is the fmc lmao

Redemption will be swift in these two chapters then, things are already in motion on Sakura side, Shinobu we don't know yet as he's still thinking things over it looks like.

No matter how hard Kodansha tries, Sakura will still end up being utterly hated.

They have 2 chapters and 3 weeks to see how they want to handle it, it'll be a herculean task but not impossible I'd say.

A jp comment looked at how many pages are left and it's less than normal chapters but maybe we will get more since it's the end.

Sakura is FMC just because she is, imo she didn't deserve that

Normally in manga MC can even start from bottom rock, they just need to go under character development to be a better person. But Sakura did no, her character is just as bad as in first chapter. And the cheating occur so she got even worse.

That's not how manga's MC should be, it's typical doujin MC here.

 

[VuongOuki]

I heard some predictions saying that the final two chapters will have 30 pages each.

Wouldn't be the craziest thing to add on a few more pages if they're cramming everything into two chapters and a smaller volume, true.

Oh boy fumi-san is getting hot and sexy time!!! Next chapter all the way!

Goodnight, Fumi-san

Welp at least in this latest chapter she's shown some backbone against fucboi and is about to do something other than just take on sex scene role surely amirite. WTB 2-week time machine doko

This is a good ending if Sakura is still a villain (such as not saying that chapter 129 was just a fucboy's dream).

We all agree Mio will be Sakura's new agency for sure, so she can work on gravure or whatever she wants.

If she can truly let go of Shinobu, Shinobu will transfer his duty to Mio to take care of Sakura then he pursue his career with Fumi.

This way, Shinobu choose a woman who love him, not a woman he loves.

Basically makes it 3 chapters almost and tack on the bonus chapter what-if for the losing heroine with a few extra pages there too, sales could be saved this way maybe.

Oh boy fumi-san is getting hot and sexy time!!! Next chapter all the way!

Goodnight, Fumi-san

some JP bro looking forward to Fumi ntr? they need to wake up, there's no way atp. Only thing possible is a breakup for ShiFumi

Mio agency is probably the only thing we can agree on as being most likely in the end. Everything else is up in the air until MC's get their face to face moment and talk

No it's a different manga entirely fmc is named fumi and she also has big tits and is in the foreplay scene in the raw that came out today I was just surprised to see it that manga had a much better ntr arch where the mc didn't lose as a matter of fact fumi's panties just came off.

She still needs to find out she cheated on him though.

This has a fair chance of happening still, but I can't tell you it's a guarantee because we don't know if the ending is all KA writing or if Kondansha pulled some strings.
