GraPara! - Vol. 14 Ch. 135 - Sex Scenes

[diphuc1]

This.. the chaos, the madness it causes.. the uproar from the readers..

This was her goal all along..

KATSURA AIRI..

She never wanted to achieve that.. gravure paradise..

So instead.. she made us savour it in her place..

And with the release of chapter 136, the ritual will be complete.

KATSURA AIRI, will feed upon the distress of thousands.. as she rises to power, ascending to a higher realm of existence..

And we? Well.. all of us.. drained of our life force by her horrendously terrifying writing..

We'll be stuck in Gravure Paradise..

Maybe..

Maybe the real NTR rom-com.. were the threads.

Endless streams of words.. emotions conveyed through simple pictures..

Maybe this is the paradise she was leading us to..

And no matter what happens from now on..

When it's all said and done.. we can all look back and say..

"This truly.. was out GraPara!.."

ThreadsPara!

And still you read every chapter.

Anyways, 5000 comments this time?

I was stupid to have a little faith this time.But think that hits 5000 again if Airi things even worse in chapter 136

Hard to say. It went to 5500 in the last thread cause of the two week wait. So it's possible this time around lol

Honestly a good chunk of it was talking about other stuff and occasionally coming back to GraPara

Similar wait period, more to get mad over, 136 being the final chapter so there's a chance to get close. Really depends on how it all ends now.

I'll just live an extract of my review of this garbage here:

Katsura Airi though, goes far beyond the usual level of stupidity that an average idiot might possess: when people have a checkov gun in their hands, they expect that gun to shoot, but if they're not complete morons, they wouldn't aim for their own heads before pulling the trigger. Airi instead does exactly that with her last work Grapara: the premise is betrayed, the "love" and the "comedy" aspects ends up completely disappearing from the story, all that remains is the "fetish" that becomes the only thing that it is still alive in this environment.

The fetish alone though, can't survive all alone when the whole formula fells apart: the axe/end of the story is inevitable.

(you can find the review in the mangadex section, I think it is pretty spot on)

I just want to remark once again that the axe was deserved, I don't think the editor did a bad choice here: the premise of this work is gone, the formula is broken and besides KA dogshit storytelling and the portrayal of her fetish here and there, this work has really nothing else to tell.

Well at least my boi cracked both of them before their body count grew lol I mean to be real, they’re both willing to do whatever it takes to make it in that industry. Shinobu just needs to wake tf up and realize that. Grind and get himself a girl that doesn’t want to be an actress/model.

The worst part is that Fumi isn't doing this to advance her career; she's doing it because she thinks it might help Shinobu. Poor woman, she doesn't realize she's probably already ruined her chances with Shinobu.

That's the worst part. If she just had the patience and trust in his direction. Things could have been well. But..

Fumi: And I took that personally.

The funny thing is Airi could make Shinobu be a cuck and forgive Fumi.That would be funny as hell😃(Our new Kousei)

Some damage was taken by ShiFumi again but this isn't one-hitter to be fair, could just be one of the worst baits ever if that's all it ends up as but I'm not sure. I still would like to think Sakura and Shinobu will meet before the end until I don't see it in 2 weeks ofc.

Get on the next train, soldier—the slutkuraxshinobu train has already left... it’s time to let go.

First time reading a chapter when it comes out, since I just read it all in the past couple of days.

My biggest question after reading all this comments is, just what kind of story do you think you were reading? Many seem disappointed or angry at a story that, for better or worse, remained true to its initial message of gravure/nudity not being something to despise outright.

As things stand I think the ending is ok, some chapters ago I thought it would end with Shinobu directing Sakura's JAV debut or something like that. Sure the misunderstanding with their relationship sucks and the way that other actor took advantage of Sakura in a vulnerable moment leaves a bad taste, even if he himself doesn't seem malicious just desperate, all in all it was a relatively entertaining drama, now to see how the author wraps up things, how much they walk back any progress or if they stick with both main characters following different paths.

Well, the story is about Shinobu and Sakura, so we all thought that even if things happened, they would ultimately stay together. It seems that chapter 128, when Fuckboy forces himself on Sakura and she gives in, upset Japanese readers so much that from that moment on, everything has been geared towards ending the story quickly. I suppose this is also due to disagreements between the author, the creative team, and the producer, and now the story has gone a bit crazy.
They could have shown Sakura's NTR but then resolved the misunderstanding with Shinobu and they stayed together, but instead, they showed an irrational Sakura who wasn't even able to confront Shinobu to resolve the situation. I don't know if that was the author's original idea or if, for reasons unknown to us, she got carried away and turned all the protagonists into hopeless idiots. I don't know if we'll ever find out.

I think it will depend on how Airi will be backlashed in this two weeks.

We can get back to this in 2 weeks, I'm locked in with no regrets. Coping for a ShiKura ending is the reason this heart still beats.

 

[Kuroageha]

Airi crashing the train with no survivors.

Jus put this series out of its misery.

We'll likely never know and all we'll get is 1 more chapter to be happy or sad with.

Man, it would be funny if nobody were happy in two weeks, Shinobu all alone and depressed again and Sakura finding happiness with that fuckboi. I don't even want to imagine the comments if that happens.

The JP fans are going to invade her home if she does that.

Got other mangas I'm tracking, light novels that I'm reading, visual novel backlog. Then there's muh gachas, friends are trying to get me to play league again (fawk that for now), I might check out Aion 2 in a few months. Plenty to keep busy with. Just for now though I really got abnormally attached to the GraPara! cast (screw fucboi and blonde doe), so it's taking up the front seat for now still.
