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

[Apollo_Ibis]

Reposts are still there with some scrolling for me. Not too clear what's going to happen next chapter, Fumi agreed to do it but Shinobu has the final say.

That sneak peek looks pretty clear to me

Everything is Sakura's fault! All she had to do was talk to Shinobu and not go to the guy who she knew wanted to have sex with her, then have sex with him. All she had to do was trust the guy who did everything in his life for her. All she had to do was say no to Yuma.

And forget about what she did after the incident, straight evil.

I agree. What Sakura should do is talk to Shinobu instead of running away from the problem, and she should turn Yuma down.

If you're talking about her draw from days ago is not from Grapara is from another work.Some JP fans kinda confirmed that.

And she is not the artist from Grapara and the art style is way different than Grapara's.

i think she didnt know about the meeting. but months went without any clear understanding of misunderstanding between the two mc is either both are spineless and dont love each other as much as lover should or just a low level idiocy story plot. Line blocked? hello sms, hey there phone booth, ah nice to meet you email address
sakura is not that clever to close all access for shinobu to get to her, but shinobu himself not really putting in effort too.

To be fair, you would likely get a restraining order if you tried that in real life. There really isn’t anything Shinobu could do in such a hostile situation.

Hell, imagine you’re Shinobu and you go ask people for advice. “Hey guys, some random dude said she fucked my girlfriend’s brains out. I don’t really believe him so I went to sort it out with my gf, but she disappeared from my house and sent me a message demanding I never talk to her again. My friend knows where she went, but refuses to tell me. Should I keep trying to find a way to contact her?”

Most people will tell you no because you’re in a situation where everyone is against you. One wrong move and you’ll go to court as a stalker. People will also tell you it’s not worth it because if someone is willing to disappear from your life, there is nothing you can do to get them back. Shinobu already did everything he could. Once Sakura decided to cut off the relationship, doing anything more would make him the “bad guy”. There is no such a thing as “not trying hard enough” when the other person doesn’t love you and actively avoids you. It will just be treated as harassment.

I would argue the only “wrong” thing Shinobu did was not telling his friends that Sakura cheated. But then again, he might have been scared his friends wouldn’t believe him. I mean, one of his friend already betrayed him by helping Sakura move out without telling Shinobu.

Has not been explicitly confirmed that they live together, maybe we find out in 135 yay. Atp readers should just chill because we're rehashing yaps from like a month ago, comically cyclical. This is the mind process of KA enjoy it, also not sure SA is something you'd announce right after, but if Sakura had done it here the writing would've certainly become more comical than some tragic drama I suppose.

Well, i dunno if they live together or not but they are definitely a THING. For me, there are a lot of visual cues in their latest interaction and the author wanted to subtly display their relationship like a marriage falling off. Some reasons that I saw were:

1) If she was just going to ask a friend for input, why not just go to the blondie. Why would the author show her going to the fuckboi knowing fully well that the readers hate him? Because he is still relevant rn due to him being sakura's bf for the past few months. And it obviously looks like a gf asking her bf regarding a sex scene that he might not be comfortable with, you know, like normal couple stuff.

2)If they are both friends, why would they meet at fuckboi's house? I mean, they could've met outside like Mio and Nagi and even have the blondie join the conversation but she specifically went to his house for his opinion.
Also, you can see how he is reading his scripts while she stands there asking for his opinion, with how chill he is with having her in house probably means that she regularly visits him (either lives with him or have keys). Again if he was a friend, he would be actually listening to her instead of reading the script about his work and basically going on with his life. Again showing that they are like a marriage where the spark is gone.
3) Why would Mio ask sakura about fuckboi's response? She is definitely not asking how every friend of Sakura's felt about her doing a sex scene. Again, fortifying the theory of them being a couple.

For me, the author is clearly trying to say that they are a thing and that the relationship probably wasnt sunshine and rainbows as they expected (again could be a sudden plot shift to promote a certain narrative for the ending). So yeah it probably doesnt matter if they live together or not, because they are probably already in a falling relationship (where frequent sex wasnt enough to save the relationship further strengthening the "My body was with him, but my heart was with you" trope for the ending).

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk

So Fumi is going to shoot the sex scene on Thursday by the looks of it.

Is it just me or did she delete every retweet of kodansha posting chapters?

The reposts are still there.Now the repost part are in a seperate part.

He probably didnt want to ruin her image and possibly her career. Like I said before, I DONT LIKE SHINOBU because he is constantly willing to fuck himself in the ass if it means that Sakura's career is flourishing and she is happy. Not telling people about her cheating or letting another dude fuck her (and constantly too in the future as he accepted that the fuckboi would "make her happy form now on") just because this makes Sakura happy is actual semi-cuck behaviour that I despise. He is like the biggest simp with some brawns (at some situations) but will still prioritize Sakura over himself all the time. And unless he changes at the end (i doubt it), he will still be overhyped (atleast for me).

Doesn’t look that different to me tbh

I think fuckboi was right about it but they he told about it to Sakura really hurted her because her was badmothing gravature and simply reducing her journey to get where she is now.

We can see that the relantionship beetwen won't last that much and Sakura doesn't see to be happy with him(he failed his promise) and that fuckboi doesn't look like someone that would half what Shinobu did to support Sakura's career.

About Shinobu,i think the reason would told about you hating him is the reason that people really like him because he was always selfiless during the whole and people felt hurt because they know that Shinobu would support Sakura no matter what but i can understand your point of view.

It is really different.The art look pretty different from Keshida Nishikida's art style(the Grapara's artist)

And Airi sometimes does that post to promote her doujinshi works.

She never posted sneak peaks for Grapara! Not even before 129 would be released.

And i don't think she is allowed to post a uncesored version before the release of a chapter.

This is why I took a break from this until the next chapter comes out we talking in circles.

Feels like a dumb move no matter how excited KA is.

Always have been, only difference if how fast we get through each topic per cycle. We've gone back to the "r" word topic, and then to the "are they dating" topic in quite the rapid fashion this time.

She just made a bait to people think that is Grapara.But is only a probably future doujinshi work.

That is true.i think people does not see the previous mensages.i kinda understand because it has +3500 mensages

Its kinda boring those vicious cycle.
