With GC I can easily just view this shit as a comedy. This? I can’t even laugh at it, shit makes no sense at all.

Airi is a hack writer and she isn’t even good at it. 100%.
Guilty circle is pointless Aitsu no Kanojo makes no sense and blush DC is just misery porn as well as Ingoshima. There is plenty of shit out there that doesn't hit but I did find the ending funny with how predictable it was.

Have you never read holy night or any of that woman's other works? Just because you didn't like how the story went dose not make one a hack writer is Arir's writing weak yes in some aspects she isn't very good at making netorare interesting or enjoyable but I didn't find this as frustrating as say Aitsu no Kanojo every character is hit with a stupid stick or as pointless as guilty circle literally all the NTR was pointless every sacrifice the fmc and mc made was pointless! There are more but I think those two examples are good enough.
Lol is that some sort of prerequisite for judging this work? Or is that just some form of whataboutism? Regardless of what I think, what's written on the paper is her undermining her own characters, plot and logic in order to either 1)Chase her fetish and force it in regardless of the impact or 2)Create situations solely for clicks and discussion regarding of the impact. Also I know you don't find it frustrating, you kept saying that as long as Sakura and Shinobu end up together you'd be fine with the ending. So to sum up, she didn't properly represent her characters, she didn't naturally follow her own plot, some form of forced fetish chasing or spite for her audience may have been involved, but she isn't a hack writer? Plenty of romcoms that show hack writing just off of how much they obviously pad their plot for longevity sake and those aren't even a fraction as bad as this.

True but that still leaves more than a thousand comments talking about the manga. Most get nowhere near that.
While it’s true you have to consider how many comments were just copy paste? We were like a broken record and said the same thing over and over again. Also the comments hitted the 1000mark because there was always someone who commented his theory when everyone stopped writing. There was always someone who tried to bring the discussion to life again. And than again we talked about the same thing over hours

Look at the end of the day it's her story to tell love it or hate it it's still her story there is no reason to hate on her for it let alone personal insults.

In the street image it doesn’t seem like she has the necklace on and then she has it on the coffee shop, maybe a days later meet? Just a funny thing I noticed, why would she wear it later though? lol, gotta fix that in post-production/volume
Please read carefully, Sakura did wear the necklace in the panel she said "Fumi-chan...". So, it's the same day.

If Keishi Nishikida sensei really took over chapter 134-136, we must notice every panels carefully because he'll try to use all of them without wasting. LOL

Chapter 136 spans 23 pages; there are about 17 pages left in Volume 14. I sincerely hope the remaining pages will be an "after-story" chapter. I’d love to see what happens to the various characters—like Sakura, Shinobu, Fumi, Shiko, and Mio—after the conclusion.

Please have Keishi Nishikida write it.

I'm not taking shots at her personality, I called her a hack based on what she wrote which I have every right to judge as a reader who invested their time. You you want to think she put passion and thought into this all power to you, I don't so I think she's a hack writer.

I don't understand why when an axe suddenly comes for a long-running manga with multiple threads running, they don't give it more than 3 chapters to round it up. That said, Katsura used those three chapters terribly, with literally all the resolution happening in the second half of the very last chapter with pretty much no payoff for the revelation, etc. All to be able to insert one normally-paced multi-chapter cuck scene with the second female lead. She should get permission to make a doujin to flesh it out a little more IMO.
Whoever gave the Axe call made the right call.

What we got was a faster version of her planned crash out.

No words. I have ABSOLUTELY nothing to say. Just.. wow.

All those theories after 135, all the possible ways this could've went, and it somehow managed to go in the most.. what do I even call it..?

So Shinobu just.. and Fumi..? Huh?

And what fuckery was that final panel?

What do you mean???

What is the meaning of this..? Oh yeah.. there is no meaning.

I had already said that a full on hate filled ending was definitely possible, and.. yeah. This was it.

I applaud KATSURA AIRI, for not giving a fuck about the readers and their opinions/requests.

It takes a different level of.. mental health, yeah. Let's put it that way.

Shinobu becomes successful at the cost of his dignity and self respect..? Seems like it. He's a cuck now. Like, someone you'd find on fucking nhentai.

I'm not even gonna reread this finale to type more meaningless paragraphs. But one thing I do give it credit for, is that this finale has made it VERY EASY for me to forget that I ever read a hundred and thirty six chapters of this absolute masterpiece.

Well, that's about it. All is said and done. Like I said in the 135 thread(I think so atleast lol..), Grapara has truly completed the infinity gauntlet of horrible endings.

A rushed ending..

Character assassinations..

Nonsensical scenarios..

A plot that forgot itself..

A big fat middle finger to the readers..

And a special specimen of an author to top it all off..

But let's put that aside. Let's talk about the threads..

Our ThreadsPara!

Yeah.. that's the best part of all this. Many of us have learned a lot these past few months. We've made new connections, had tons of fun typing away into the night.. and maybe, maybe that was the purpose of this ending. Make it so.. horrible but redeemable till the very end, so that we could all come together for this once in a manga experience..

I'll never forget the time I spent here. It was great. It was jolly, and it.. was.. perfect.

Just like you all.

About the ending, it's nearly the biggest piece of dogshit I've ever read.

About you all, I wish you guys the best in all your future endeavours, whatever that might be. Just don't make a manga like this.

So yeah. I guess we'll meet each other again in these threads every once in a while.. maybe. Maybe not.

But that's a discussion for another day..

And until then.. it's been a pleasure.

-A humble Es Enthusiast...

And I wouldn't have it any other way 😎

Maybe we won't even have this and this volume will be less pages.
