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

[Xain]

I'm not the only one who broke.

I think Sakura will break up with Nakanishi, but I don't think she'll get back together with Shinobu, and I don't think there will be any "Sakura gets what she deserves" moments either. The question is whether Mr. Katsura will depict redemption for Shinobu and communication between Shinobu and Sakura in the remaining two chapters.

The biggest "Fuck You" from Airi to the readers at this point will be the misunderstanding never being resolved (we all have been strung along just to see it pan out) which I dont think is impossible considering the fact that she doesnt like the public opinion seeing her fighting them on twitter and also that her mainstream manga career is pretty much in the shitters after Grapara being axed by Kodansha. So, she might drop a bomb and go out in style lol.

Let me be friends with the woman who cheated on me, talked shit about me ans ghosted me. Lol I dont know if that's respectable. The respectable thing would to be clear and decisive and remove the bad apple from your life. Communicating this point in a definitive fashion.

I agree with you that not the best thing to do in REAL LIFE but we're talking about a manga that is made by Airi Katsura,her stories never made the cheaters face consequences and always ended being forgiven and become friends with them.And that one probably won't be different in this one.

Funny thing is that is a very real possibility. It wouldn't be a fuck you to the readers from Arir's perspective though for her it would be a good ending leaving things between the two unresolved. It's a way the leave the story open ended for her.

I don't think Kodansha will let Airi write a terrible ending, because a bad ending would make volume 14's sales extremely disastrous.

Resolving the misunderstanding is the only way left to budge Sakura's current dirt reputation at all so unless KA has a more brilliant plan, I'm not sure what else they'd do.

Funny thing is:
She always been a horrible writer. Her inability to see her characters doing something wrong, when they are clearly cheating on loved ones. Her inability to make them suffer any consequence for their actions. And last but not least. Her inbaility to write a good male protagonist with more human emotions than just simping

I don't think it will be a open ending.Because Airi always has done close ending in her stories.

And i don't think kondasha will let Airi do whatever she want because it would hurt even more the sells for vol 14 that will be bad because of 129 to 131 chapters.

And i have a huge gut feeling that 132 and 133 was damage control chapters and that the reduced number of apperances of Fuckboi and the potential break up will be also some kind of damage control

Never has the word "potential" raised more feelings of anxiety in me than this week LOL, we shall see now.

To be fair with Airi."I Tried to Live with a Goddess For a Year" is a good story that had a good ending.When i did read that manga is was really a positive suprise because it looks like another version of Airi Katsuri and made me wonder what happened to her because she literally lost her writing skills after that manga and after all those years.

I said potential but is pretty likely that they'll break up.I don't think Airi will make her end with him because it would get a huge backlash for her.

I think so too—if the ending is really bad, sales of the final volume will be a flop, especially since it starts with chapters 128 and 129. So the last two chapters should be as good as possible and give the fans—especially the Japanese ones—what they want. Sakura just needs to feel remorse and suffer—that’s all. IT'S SO EASY!!! But given Katsura's writing skills, he'll probably end up screwing it up.

Well in end the if KA does screw it up we can have one nice final get together to point laugh (cry?), and be on our merry way to better things.

Katsura is a woman and i don't think Airi will do a bad ending for neither of them.And i don't think kondasha will let Airi mess up with the ending due the sells being destroyed by her stupid fetish.

We have to trust in Kodansha and i have a gut feeling that they made some damage control for the ending like 132 and 133 was pure fanservice for the fans(only expection is making Sakura away worse than she is right now) and i think the Sakura and fuckboi break up will be also a damage control.

The sells for vol 13 are pretty bad and some readers in the comments said they won't buy the volume.

Maybe if Katsura comes up with a crappy ending. I'll have to read some rom-com manga and watch some rom-com anime to get this trauma out of my head.

38 hours to go.

I believe this is true too.
