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

[box2024]

The idea came from the JP side I believe where they said something about the furniture arrangement looking like fucboi, but in 131 we only get 3 panels where it's all in the bedroom, and in 134 there are 0 bedroom panels shown I believe since the conversation took place all in the living room area.

Being unable to confirm their relationship is a tougher debate. Sakura feels close enough to him to feel the need to seek his advice/approval for taking this offer but this could qualify as just good friends? Their conversation really was devoid of romantice gestures, and fucboi wasn't even paying full attention for half of it I believe as he's reading something. A simple thing like having her sit down next to him, or him standing up near the end of the conversation and walking over to Sakura for some romantic gestures and to allow him to try and control the conversation better would've helped confirm this as well but it was not done.

128 and 129 is what they were comparing it to.

I remember that discussion at the time, was fun, I don't need a definitive answer atp. Just looking forward to the end with some positive anticipation even if it'll be a rushed af two chapters lol.

 

[Orpheus7]

But how will I spread TRUE DESPAIR otherwise?

Monokuma would be proud

 

[hugorito420]

Deserved, and if its ShiFumi to the end I hope Sakura will still be good friends with them and they all work around Mio's Agency. Hard to see Fumi doing this because she's not even a full-time actress so this movie might be her final one and her path splits again from Shinobu hmmmm. Why did they have to show both relationships cracking istg KA please for once.

The Shinobu and Fumi case is away easier to solve because Shinobu only has to reasure her that he moved on from Sakura and he didn't want her to do that because he is important to him.

In Fuckboi and Sakura's relation looked more like coworkers than lovers(i know they're dating),and fuckboi has failed in his promise to make her happy.To get worst he really belittled the gravature model work that was where she started and reduced her journey to be a actress.So right here is a big probability to a break up happening.

About Shifumi ending with Sakura being friends with them would be a nice ending for the story.

 

[Orpheus7]

Yeah my bad for expect standard from KA work

My bad I thought you understood the plot

I agree if it plays out perfectly like that. If its ShiFumi true end and Sakura good friends ending, I'll just need a bit of time to recover and can be perfectly happy with it.

Shinobu's complete thoughts are a mystery though because has he really moved on entirely, has his love for Fumi outgrown Sakura's, and what happens if Sakura and Shinobu meet before he can have that talk with Fumi because of plot convenience by the writers.

I thought it was the pig tailed lady that would approve of that.

With this rushed and strange pace everything can happen is too hard to predict.

 

[elisias]

My bad I thought you understood the plot

My bad for not understood something nearly non-exist

 

[diphuc1]

With this rushed oace everything can happen is too hard to predict.

I was expecting it to end closer to around October/November so we could get a more well paced resolution. Silver lining to this abrupt ending is it can't torture me much longer. In the end I really enjoyed this cast of characters: Shinobu the GOAT, Sakura the pitiful-infuriating-never-developing character but I still unconditionally like her, Fumi the pure goated best girl (sorry Sakura), queen Mio with her aura and infinite libido and some others I won't list off (Sorry Nagi you failed your mission and Mio had to pick up the pieces in 134). Fucboi and blonde can go burn in a bin.

Don't forget Fumi being the best girl too.

 

[diphuc1]

Don't forget Fumi being the best girl too.

Fixed my list, oomf can't believe I forgor. I will cede that she is indeed the best girl and Top 3 on my list but Sakura and Mio pull ahead just a bit for me.

Spoilers

Spoilers

It’s been over a decade.

Man some of you guys are sticking your heads in the sand about Sakura and fuckboi they are in a relationship he talked at her like he has authority over her actions as well granted I don't think it's for much long after he belittled her like that we know sakura mindset is influenced by those around her and mio seems to be her out now.

Granted I don't think they are living together.

I'm fine with either being true but this chapter isn't helping the case for it much and the relationship is potentially being shelved for the finale. You can say the topic of the convo was intimate (Sakura doing a seggs scene) but neither opened up to explain their feeling or try to understand one another's reasons beyond surface level stuff like public image and the convo ended just like that. Then Sakura runs into Mio and immediately opens up to her instead, kinda wild actually.

That woman just wanted approval to do that scene; now she’ll be with Mío, and Mío will support her. By the way, I think the scene is funny, the fuckboi had to bring up the gravure to get Sakura upset; even when he mentioned Shinobu, she didn’t say anything, I think both of theme win if they don’t end up with Sakura.

It does look like that, but gravure is something special for Sakura since it was how she started out on this career path and she had fun doing it. As for the Shinobu thing, that was much earlier in the story and the circumstances are a lot different now.

Not approval but she wanted someone to talk about doing the scene he just dismissed her out of hand his reasoning isn't because her doing it would bother him personally but it would hurt her imagine as an actress and his by proxy. He didn't talk with her he talked at her.

Contrast that with shionbu he talks with fumi telling her she doesn't HAVE to do the scene it won't affect her career if she dose or doesn't he tells her in a round about way he doesn't want her to do it BUT she isn't listening to what he has to say she is comparing herself to Sakura and what sakura would do in her place for shionbu.

Ngl though if this is really an actual axed announcement it means the publisher knew Katsura Airi might pull another NTR, but this time on Fumi. The publisher already pulling out before another disaster happens which will cost them a lot of money if they keep publishing her works like how nobody will buy her copies anymore.
