Could be would fucking suck if that happens and confirm my belief that Arir wants to move on from grapara. But depending on how this ends we could see a season 2.
Surely there's not story for an S2, even if they try to re-center it around Fumi the story doesn't work because Fumi isn't even an actress apparently, and doesn't do gravure. I suppose they could make it so that Fumi want to become a full-time actress to keep working with Shinobu's dream but that'll just end up being a rinse/repeat ntr bait cycle imo. Also means Sakura will probably disappear from the story which is sad in its own way regardless of how fans feels about her in the end because Sakura is the og as much as Shinobu was.

They copy pasted some of their comments over from KA so it's low effort, no point calling out the artist, they're just there to draw. I wonder if this mean the finale is actually going to get dragged out for a month and we're getting another 2 week break between 135 and 136. If the page count isn't significant it's going to be rough.
It will have a break due obon week.

About "Grapara!" i agree with that i wanted Sakura and Fuckboi suffering some consequences of their acts but the maximum punishment the fuckboi will recieve is the break up with Sakura and Sakura will receive a very cheap redemption.
Thanks for the quick summary! Also yes, fucboi suffering a breakup is nowhere near enough and way too cheap, even more than whatever Sakura's will end up looking like. I also wanted blonde to get some comeuppance, she was annoying af and equally responsible for the manipulation of events and assisting fucboi.

Well if season two focuses on being Sakura and shinobu back together going through things that could have worked but shionbu being a director and seeing what happens with mio's agency would likely be the draw.

Airi is not smart to do that and i don't think she wants to do a second season of a manga that recieved a imense amount of hate in the end.

.....Okay looking at this, at least I would unironically still be interested but thats just me, not sure how the JP bros would feel about it.

So they timed it out for maximum drag out then I don't think it was axed at all but this is in fact the planed ending disappointment is very likely.
Setup heading into finale still seems to have some promise. Fucboi losing out potentially, Sakura finally thinking for herself. Not sure how to comment for ShiFumi.

Well it was funny seeing artist themselves do a rare tweet that isn't a repost of KA's stuff. Inner cope makes me want to think this means artist took over for the ending but since they're KA fan it's unlikely unless Kodansha really strongarmed them over the GraPara situation.

I think it could change nothing because she is Airi's fan so she could do the same.(Airi probably still writing)
