Lol the ntr bros are angry that shinobu didn't break down.
It was kinda glossed over with the time skip, Shinobu did mope around and get nothing done for a few months tbf. Here's my next random ahh plot prediction, before Shinobu can properly give his response to Fumi, Fumi gets a phone call from Sakura interrupting their moment.

There is no reason for Sakura to call fumi at all nor would she have her number as a matter of fact Sakura calling shinobu would be more believable.

That would certainly be unexpected.
Though I do imagine the two walking into each other at a point since they're both actresses. Letting Fumi have that moment to clear some of the air and make Sakura begin to question her own actions.

ntr bros are the biggest loser cucks i have ever seen. They literally bash on everything that isnt ntr but cant handle the backlash on their community. They always start with the insults after. And their arguments are also so fucking retarded that i dont want to deal with them. Seen so many of them and everyone and i mean EVERYONE is retarded. And i mean exactly these kind of ntr fans you speak about the ones that want the mc to suffer. Self inserted cucks thats all. Sorry for hardcore ntr fans in this forum if there are any.

Oh I guess they never exchanged numbers F. In that case it would be great if Sakura just randomly calls Shinobu out of the blue lets go with with that. Jokes aside I'd still much prefer Shinobu to give a straightforward response right away instead of dragging things out.

I just did some quick math with a calculator this time and the author has made about 300,000 off this manga she gets 10% of physical sales

I would say that's in yen it's 4 something a volume so rounded up.

300,000 yen is 1800 dollars she didn't make a lot of money.

Let's hope they want to keep making money instead of rushing an ending.

She has to make her money off the manga in a different way it gets 60mil padge views but it's 70 yen to buy the chapter. 44 cents wait I was wrong on the price it 792 yen she has made just under 3000 use. Japanese people only pay 4.92 USD.

But this isn't her only income right? I'd think she's still getting income from her other works.

Yes I think the monthly income in Japan is like 300,000 yen which is just under 3000 USD. I looked it up it's 398,333 yen same in USD my father makes more than that in a week

Well it's official we have run out of ideas for not just what happens next chapter but how grapara will end.
Well regardless of Shinobu's response to Fumi's confession, the movie production arc is probably like a 80%'er I want to say. Then when it comes to who'll be cast for which roles, only Fumi is a given but even if its Katsura Airi here its pretty obvious which characters should show up and get involved that can make the arc more interesting while setting up the chance for a confrontation. After this arc wraps up there's a chance to keep milking the story depending on if any relationship shifts happened but it'll be difficult to keep people sticking around aside from the decent art and Shinobu atp. Now if the 20%'er happens and this big movie project thing ends up being irrelevant to the plot than I too have no clue where we're going from here.

With out shinobu X sakura the story is done and over that's the thing about netorare once it's done it's over.

I heavily agree that ShinobuXSakura needs to be maintained, if we get a certain Sakura PoV in 132 though that confirms some of our suspicions then this is definitely the end of it and we're going to get a rushed ending to appease fans with Shinobu X Fumi or nothing.

Of course it isn't. That guy is completely delusional and seems convinced that "the mangaka I dislike can't possibly be successful." He's been subtly pushing that narrative for a while now.

Mangaka have a wide range of income sources, many of which are never made public. This is especially true for successful creators like Katsura Airi, who are more likely to receive favorable contracts and additional opportunities, and their income comes not only from the standard 原稿料 (manuscript fees) and 単行本の印税 (tankobon royalties), but also from collaboration deals, advertising, commissioned illustrations, digital platform royalties, licensing, and other projects that aren't reflected in publicly available sales figures.

Well shinobu likely need closure to move on from Sakura so I can see the story going in that direction even if I hate it.
