Inb4 it goes an unexpected route by the time a final arc happens.

Another timeskip, but of 2 decades. Shinobu in his 40s as a famous (yet brooding and depressed) producer with rumors of also being a casting coucher because he doesn't have a wife yet for some reason sine a few years ago he tends to repeat a same type of actress as the main heroine in his projects so it's implied he frequently fucks a specific girl even though he denies those allegations. It just happens destiny made him cross with someone who looks and even acts like Sakura when he was in his late 30s, but it happens it's her daughter. Sakura's career naturally falls apart somewhere around her late 20s, she becomes a whore, with Yuma as her pimp, but that also falls apart and Yuma dumps her. Daughter offers herself as a candidate for main heroine in one of Shinobu's newest projects: that project being called GraPara! Unlike Sakura, the daughter actually falls for Shinobu despite of the brutal age difference and he, despite of trying to be professional, ends falling into temptation, not knowing there will be consequences. The movie is successful, but reaches Sakura's eyes, sees the credits, identifies Shinobu as the producer and thinks it's Shinobu's revenge against her, so she goes and confronts him. The shit turns into a scandal that may end ruining Shinobu's career, but also unravels Shinobu never got over Sakura and made the mistake of using her daughter as a placebo/revenge.
Too high, bro... that's too high for Airi. We need to come with real possibilities.

Well, because in the end, they're still the mc and the fmc. No matter how much I want Shinobu to end up with Fumi, she isn't the fmc right now, so that's why I think them getting back together is the most likely scenario.
Do you know how common it is for the fmc and mc to end up apart in manga yes t happens all the time.

The home market is stagnant it's not growing it's at 20 billion while the international market is growing and at 24 billion a year NTR is a narrow fan base to begin with and well dislike outside of japan.
Isnt it getting more and more popular? Just watch the pornhwas that are airing right now. Like every second one is NTR... or has NTR elements. And if they drop in ranking than the ntr is all they have left lmao. Koreans are equally cucks as jp

No one does, it is 90% just me with the occasional odd ally who agrees not because they like Sakura necessarily but because the dynamic between her and Shinobu has been the premise of the manga as an ntr rom-com, and so the rom-com must go back to its original roots even after a tumultuous crisis. The best plot device right now is the seemingly upcoming movie arc which provides the perfect setup, as for why she'd go back after months or no contact, there's a few reasons: maybe she didn't move in the fuckboi and they're just friends with benefits, her career could've stagnated after the tv drama side role, she's still emotionally struggling because fuckboi can only satisfy her physical needs, maybe the one night stand was the only time she let fuck boi do it as a huge rugpull on pg 9 of this chapter. Until we see more light shed on how everyone's been doing after a few months time skip there's still a lot of things left on the table for where the story goes from here yet.
You may end up crushed after chapter 132 bud I mean it you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

They are still very much narrow in the fan base but that being said the koreans do drama so much better to include conflict in land lords little girl when the mc beats the shit out of the landlord aka UB for forcing his mother to use her body to pay rent as well as trying to steal her from his father him beating the shit out of him is one of the most cathartic moments in pornwahas.

I know, I was super convinced that Shinobu would challenge and that didn't really happen. I feel much stronger about this one though, Shinobu will reject Fumi, focus on the movie and that will lead to him crossing paths with Sakura again for a long overdue in person confrontation. Besides even if I'm proven wrong again and Shinobu and Fumi are getting it on right in the next chapter then everyone wins anyway so cheers to that to if its the case, just going to stand on my ground for now. The manga has already gone full stupid but I just don't see the fully committing to letting Shinobu and Sakura be separated forever over a tragic misunderstanding after 3 years of serializing them overcoming may other obstacles in the entertainment industry.

Yeah idk about the last part. It still was ub has money, better dick, fucks better than her husband and she fell for him... it was generic but the shock value was huge because it was one of the best or one who dared to do it that way. The revenge was also semi. UB was sick and got killed. Would love to see him more suffer. On top he got the fun with the blonde on the island... And after letting his mother get fucked by the ub son was not necessary. Korean authors are influenced by fans; they're afraid of them. Look at Secret Class. How often did he want that fat guy to fuck the blonde, but the fans wouldn't allow it, and neither would the publisher? (Thank God there are publishers with brains too.) I still prefer wonderful new world, boarding diary, leanring the hard way, keep it a secret from your mother and staying with ajumma than the rest mentioned.

A reminder GraPara! is a shortenkng for Gravure Paradise.

So don't discard Shinobu getting in hot shit bc he couldn't get over Sakura and thinks he has to talk things with her by any means and no matter the consequences, and ends playing white knight in shining armor, but in typical Cucksura fashion, gets seriously beaten up by the agency yakuzas and has to be saved by his friends. Unlike Karami Zakari scenario. Shinobu's injuries end being more serious and he has to be sent to an ICU room, but Sakura ends recognizing his efforts, Fumi admits it was her fault she had to break up with Shinobu, so Sakura ends giving him the chance to speak up, makes a vague promise of giving him another chance but only if he survives. Long story short he doesn't make it alive, but his final dream is literally a gravure paradise and the life he wanted with Sakura. Sakura ends resenting Shinobu for dying and becomes the industry slut. Fumi becomes a single cat lady, Shinobu's other friends move with their lives and Shinobu's imouto becomes a gravure idol

Man, you're underestimating @diphuc1. In the next chapter, we might see Sakura saying she hates Shinobu, and he might be able to turn that into something good hahahaha
Actually, it'll be pretty easy to break me. Sakura saying she hates Shinobu (truthfully) would be one, another would be a love dovey scene between fuckboi and Sakura where it shows she's completely fallen for him instead of just going with the flow. Again author has shown things to be high suggestive of, but not definitive which is brilliant because it leaves readers speculating and wanting to come back to confirm their beliefs in the next chapters.

I know all about secret class and he is right to be afraid I remember the shit storm when the killer had sex with the second wife in he Haram and now it's on fucking break for a month. I quite reading landlords little after that arch came back and his son was forcing himself on the mom again I think he was trying to recapture the popularity of the first time his mom was taken but him wasting away from demntia was ok blonde wanted to trick him into drowning at sea but his son saved him to get his own revenge going.

At this point just assume she has fallen in love with him and he makes her happy fumi is the last girl in line for shinobu if the author fucks that one up well the ending will surely suck.

I agree on most parts, but ub having dementia was not the best revenge imo. He wasnt in his clear state of mind so the revenge didnt felt satisfying tbh. Like he felt like a little kid when he got run over by the bus lol. Yeah but overall it was a solid read.

Seeing is believing! Sex without love is a thing that Katsura Airi has done pretty often. Fumi is definitely the last girl in line barring Mio returning out of nowhere and swoop up Shinobu for real this time as one of her friends with benefits lol. Ending is looking to suck now but that can change week to week.

That's how he went I didn't read it just came back to read the ending still I'm glad he's dead. I also wish the author had played around with the idea that the male lead and female lead were in fact half siblings that would have been a twist.

Well it has to end somehow but it will not be with Sakura that's for sure.
