I want to see it resolved quickly as possible, 130 didn't fix anything just info dropped on Shinobu by fuckboi for set up, 131 will either show us a resolute Shinobu, or it'll skip past the meeting and show a depressed Shinobu back at home looking at where Sakura used to be. Beyond that, don't know where we're going from here.
You know what I feel is the problem with resolving it so quickly? I feel like the author has probably been waiting for this moment for a long time, so it would seem really strange to me if it were resolved in just a few chapters.

I swear we will get a scene that makes you BURN that ticket.
Oh no doubt, but I can power through it, my focus is on Shinobu. At this point fuckboi has played most if not all his cards, Shinobu needs to navigate any sort of emotional fallout he's about to experience, think quick and figure out how to get to Sakura. Maybe some other allies will show up if fuckboi keeps being stubborn and smug.

If the execution and methodology fits well enough then it can work within a more limited time window without losing a sense of impact imo. Readers have been get raked across burning coals for weeks by now so I'm also praying that Katsura Airi shows a bit of mercy. Most I can handle is maybe another 3 chapters after 131 to reach a resolution if it needs time.

Hm I think she is infact mad at the overseas folks for fan translations. Look at her latest repost.

She has been getting a lot of Spanish hate lately.
Odd thing to repost, I find it a bit funny rather than concerning. We're not stealing with malicious intent, there's just no other way for us to normally access this type of content unless we learn to read JP so there's no point being mad at Fan TL's, upsides are it brings more exposure and engagement like 129 did.

They do not see a difference we are hurting the company you see irony is this is how must over seas readers find it because of how bad the official services are a panel that is a whole black box isn't something to read.

How long does it take for the chapters to be uploaded here? I used to read them on Reddit hahahaha, I think they uploaded them really fast there
Usually within a day after the JP release and its been pretty consistent. Weekly release manga so 1 week between chapters.

Why on earth would you want to see Shinobu go back to Sakura?

Why on earth would you want to see Shinobu go back to Sakura? Sakura cheats over the first thing she sees, instantly. All within hours. No attempt at communication, just straight go sleep with someone. This is all after she basically cheated multiple times before that. Shinobu with Sakura is an awful endgame, the character is irredemable.

No need to think too hard about that repost ahaha
Agreed haha.

One thing I can say is Japanese Manga Artist and Authors don't really care to appease overseas crowds.

And they shouldn't and I dont want them too. I read Manga because I enjoy the art of the Japanese culture. I dont want to read a version that appease any other culture.

I highly respect the passion they have for this. Say what you will but the industry is a brutal meat grinder that will chew and spit out artist and writers. That's why there are so many health issues among the industry.

The fact that their works are so imperfect make it that much more enjoyable to me.

While I may make fun of or highly disagree of decisions and places these Manga go. I respect the people's effort behind it.

Airi said she wanted to tell stories that haven't been told and damn it I love that. They may suck at the end but sometimes it's the journey more than the destination.

Except Maruto and Saranami, fuck that stupid ass train wreck. Still respect his grind but what a dumb fucking story. At least Yom's artwork is good.

To keep it short they compliment each other well. Sakura has come this far because of Shinobu, and Shinobu has gotten this far because there was Sakura. Comparatively, Yuma doesn't need Sakura, he just wants her for her body, and Sakura doesn't need Yuma because she had Shinobu.
