Oh I fully believe it. I just don't see it being a big thing to cover. At most what we may see is a brief cut of Sakura saying goodbye to Blondie and Fuckboi.

Which would suck because that's also kinda saying "Yea I fucked you but now I'm off so we won't bring that up" and stuff. Really thinking that the whole Sakura paying for her betrayal may not happen lol
But Sakura couldn't hide this from Shinobu like what she did to the director because it's the fucboy who bragged it in front of Shinobu. Sakura can't get away this time. LOL

Facing Shinobu will be a tough job for her.

The only getaway is if the author makes it so that they never meet again, which would make the story even more sad than it already is but I can't deny with certainty that this isn't a possibility. Doing this though feels like KA just running from a problem she created, which isn't unheard of (mangakas and flopping endings), but for it to happen here with GraPara! would really suck.

From business view, do you think Kodansha would approve that ending? Volume sales will be more than dropping if it has that bad ending because chapter 128 - 130 will be in the last volume. I don't think chapter 133.5 will help. Will Airi Katsura (sensei) ask Karami Zakari doujinshi's fans to compensate that sales drop? LOL

No, we don't know how heavy handed Kodansha's involvement was though and I do believe the possibility of that stupid type ending where Sakura gets off scott free is extremley low, I just can't find myself believing it to be 0. We've already had our more than fair dosage of bad and inconsistent writing so surely the writing moves closer back to decent for the finale.

I agree with you; now all they have to do is come up with the best ending so the final volume will sell well.

What is the manga you mentioned about?
That's the one (Akino Sora), not the greatest comparison to make with GraPara! since 'Let Your Smile Bloom' is a full-on hentai, but in this last arc we could make the argument that GraPara! basically fell into hentai levels of logic where Sakura gets sexed up by fucboi all night, agrees to go out with him (supposedly), transfers agencies, and moves out of her old place all in one fell swoop.

At this point in the story, if Sakura doesn't face the consequences of her decisions, show any remorse, or suffer, it would be a serious mistake and would prove just how terrible a writer Katsura is.

Well even if fumi gose through with the scene it's not real sex and isn't going to turn fumi into a sex manic so it's not as if she will supposedly cheat on him.
Unless the actor happens to be a scumbag and, for whatever reason, they're mostly nude under the bedsheets and he inserts it.

And as much as I hate to say it, I can see Shinobu just not bringing up the fact fuckboi told him he had sex with her.

It was probably just mentioned to further drive the wedge between Sakura and Shinobu at the time to ensure the break up and his stopping of being her manager.

But hey, maybe I'll be surprised! I'd love for Sakura to learn she slept with someone and basically pulled a "like father like daughter" moment and see how she takes it, even if brief.

She's starting to face "some" now that Shinobu hasn't been around for months you could say but it's nowhere near enough, but at least they've been trickling through. Her reputation is still 60 feet under though so I don't think KA will end the manga leaving things as they are.

So what's the doujin about? Is there NTR in it, too?

But with only two episodes left, I don't see how that's going to happen

It's a genuine happy ending NTR. FMC is toyed around with by the bull because he's a rich boy whose family has financial connections to FMC's family. MC discovers the relationship but stops FMC from killing herself out of shame and eventually rescues FMC and humiliates the rich boy in front of the entire school. FMC and MC get married in the end.

Well 2 more days and 12 hours we will have a good idea IF they ever meet again.

Of course fakku has the dirty little fingers in it so you can't find an English translation anymore of all 5 chapters.
