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

[box2024]

That's exactly why I say that Sakura only misses Shinobu as her manager

See it's still really hard to tell with how Arir write sakura's character.

 

[hugorito420]

Fumi asked to look her way yes, yet both initiated the sex and it was mutual from both sides. After that we saw them together the whole time. To think both would or should be together after the sex when she literally never asked for that and knows in which position shinobu is right now is funny ngl. You analysing fumi and shinobu to the smallest detail, yet slutkura never showed any romantic feelings when she thought of shinobu in the last chapter the comparing from both sides are so different. Shinobu looks at slutkura and remembers her for who she was when both were together meanwhile slutkura only looks at shinobu for what he did for her(in business not outside). She literally said she was able to give it her all because shinobu was there. Interpret it like you want but imo it doesnt sound like someone being in love with the person more like she appreciated the time with him because he helped her to become what she is right now and thats it. Also she was shaken in her determination for the offer but because of mio she managed to find her answer like airi is teasing that she tries to go her own way without shinobus help(which is kinda character development)

Like airi is showing that both are giving their best on their own now. Also shinobu was worried about fumi the whole chapter @diphuc1 mentioned that the conversation shifted to slutkura again which is kinda wrong because it just shifted because fumi mentioned her because she is insecure if she can compete with her(which she can shinobu wouldnt be attracted to her from the beginning if not). Shinobu never showed any signs to think about her in this chapter at all till fumi mentioned her. Yet shinobu is out there how he manage to solve the nude scene. Slutkura wont be redeemed. Her ending up with shinobu will be so fuckign trash writing that i really hope airi grows a brain just this once and dont do it. You had 6 chapter time to redeem her and you didnt do shit with that. No you just showed a sex scene with fuckboi in 131 and that she is still with him lmao.
If they end up together than it will be probably the worst ending in romcom and if not probably still the most unsatisfying ending because something will happen with fumi... I still stand with both wont see each other again and just to their stuff. The conversation was due four chapters ago.

To be fair the conversation with Mio she valued Shinobu in both apsects(personal and profesional) and Sakura didn't show to be happy about her new life and that was what we were showed and it was told by Sakura in the conversation in the car with Mio.

Their conversation and meeting will happen it doesn't matter if people like or not because that is the only moment that people have been waiting and itbwould be a big plot hole if that misusnderstand isn't solved.

I agree that the ending with Sakura and Shinobu is not the best ending for the story but i can see totally happen here because her relantion with Fuckboi won't last and he is not relevant for the story anymore and they're FMC and MC of the story so some plot convinients things can happen to them ending up together.

And we saw Sakura "suffering" more with Shinobu's absence(132 to 134) than Shinobu for Sakura's absence but we saw them "suffering"(131) without their presence. respectively lives

Point is they are likely going to give her some redemption and not leave her in the current state, the setup up for this has been going for for 3 chapters already, and so add the finale 2 and you'll have to make-do with a 5 chapter redemptions process that gets hyper accelerated in the end sequence.

the last two chapter should be the redemption of slutkura? lmao just speculation. I didnt see a bit of redemption the last two chapters.

 

[diphuc1]

See that's how people will feel about the endings no matter what happens the characters and how we feel about them have become complex for many not all but many whether on purpose or not. Then again sometimes the best things are done on accident.

Sakura's redemptions will be great on accident let's goooo.

 

[box2024]

Yeah and airi did it two times in a row... dont think she will change it in the last two chapters. Slutkura will remember shinobu as someone who helped her a lot throught her dark time. And yeah again fumi knows and doesnt rush him.

Not true I think it's hard to forget one first lover. Sakura was abousluty depressed when she said shionbu cheated on her that was explicitly shown to be the case and she wouldn't be if she was completely over him. Yes I just now picked up on that.

 

[hugorito420]

What was Fumi before meeting the ML? He says that she's not an actor but iirc wasn't that how they met?


I'll admit to not wanting to re-read to find out.

😅

If i not wrong she worked with the production

 

[jonasadan]

See it's still really hard to tell with how Arir write sakura's character.

I think even she doesn't know, she doesn't know if she wants to redeem Sakura or if she wants people to keep hating her.

 

[diphuc1]

the last two chapter should be the redemption of slutkura? lmao just speculation. I didnt see a bit of redemption the last two chapters.

Nagi's re-intro is the first low effort attempt (132), their teatime shows Sakura somberly reflecting on he past (133), and now we have Sakura not exactly happy with fucboi (134) and we're heading into the finale as is. Bits are there if you want to see it.

 

[diphuc1]

I think even she doesn't know, she doesn't know if she wants to redeem Sakura or if she wants people to keep hating her.

Everyone's feeling on Sakura aside, she is still the cover girl and ending the manga with cover girl somehow till being the most hated is a choice of all time.

That is why i said some pages ago that both of them probably has lingering feelings for each other.Is hard to move on when they had their story and lived all the moments they lived.

But i can see the final conversation as a closure and maybe Sakura supports Shinobu co fess to Shinobu(Would be a nice development for her) or the comeback of the main couple to happen.

I understand your point and agree she will do some damage control for Sakura but the point is that probably won't work because is way too late to make a development that redeem Sakura for the public eyes.

Main couple comeback

These last two chapter won't be normal, someting to look forward to hopefully with the extra time they have to polish. They've already been drip feeding the "redemption" around 3 chapters back, although it hasn't been effective at all.

Well said on that one it's subtle but there.

 

[hugorito420]

Main couple comeback

I think closure would be way better and people would hate them comeback together

Plus the unseen part where nagi and mio get caught up on where in life sakura is right now.

Even if the chapters won't be normal that the hate on her won't change.

 

[whorainzone]

Yes yes it is it will be interesting to see how Arir handles it regardless of what happens.

Trash writing for you is great for others. That's the fun of a story it doesn't always appeal to everyone.

Some people just settle for mediocrity, I suppose. Also i think the majority thinks the same that after 129 the story got trash otherwise the jp wouldnt be that enraged and people threatening her over a manga...

Not true I think it's hard to forget one first lover. Sakura was abousluty depressed when she said shionbu cheated on her that was explicitly shown to be the case and she wouldn't be if she was completely over him. Yes I just now picked up on that.

Depends on the person especially after a few months.
Well nagi could change her mood instantly with a topic switch dont know how depressed she was.

To be fair the conversation with Mio she valued Shinobu in both apsects(personal and profesional) and Sakura didn't show to be happy about her new life and that was what we were showed and it was told by Sakura in the conversation in the car with Mio.

Couldnt see slutkura valueing shinobu in a personal aspect. She literally was saying she knew what she was doing with shinobu without him she is lost. Thats it.
I bet against odds and hope for airi once.
Yeah i agree just because she is the fmc she will be back together with shinobu not because of some decent redeeming. Would be even fine with them getting back together with a decent redeeming... was probably to much for airi.
Shinobu suffered for months and couldnt get her out of his head, slutkura suffering more is overstatement ngl.

Nagi's re-intro is the first low effort attempt (132), their teatime shows Sakura somberly reflecting on he past (133), and now we have Sakura not exactly happy with fucboi (134) and we're heading into the finale as is. Bits are there if you want to see it.

too little. Her mood could be changed by a topic change + she still lives or atleast sees fuckboi probably on daily basis before meeting nagi and mio... not to mention she still fucking with him or were fucking with him.

 

[diphuc1]

I think closure would be way better and people would hate them comeback together

If writer and artist can show that the feelings between the two are still there and it's strong enough, reader's can't hate much.

Plus the unseen part where nagi and mio get caught up on where in life sakura is right now.

Hoping Mio has a larger than average role in the finale, we've probably seen the last of Nagi outside an epilogue cameo.

 

[box2024]

Some will some won't some will not even care one way or another.

This is a jp comment from 131 that is pretty much the sentiment of the whole story if that interview holds true.

It was a necessary farewell for Shinobu to find happiness, so it was actually a good thing.
4 days ago

 

[diphuc1]

Even if the chapters won't be normal that the hate on her won't change.

We just take it chapter by chapter. People change

too little. Her mood could be changed by a topic change + she still lives or atleast sees fuckboi probably on daily basis before meeting nagi and mio... not to mention she still fucking with him or were fucking with him.

Never said it was enough, process is still processing.
