I'm still waking up so I'm not fully here yet but the dynamic is interesting. I can definitely see the parallels but one thing I don't agree with fully is the lack of communication between Shinobu and Fumi during sex.
At least in the beginning anyway. They were talking to each other but they did stop with that at a certain point. Showing there's something there but not fully. Then again the talk was just leading on. What's more there was never a focus of using a condom unlike his prior scene with Sakura and the scene of Sakura with fuckboi. Just some small details that probably don't mean anything.
But we know that the two leads haven't said "I love you" back to their current partners. We see how Shinobu and Fumi are doing after their sex. We have yet to see how Sakura and fuckboi are doing in there's if he's still even around.
What could be important next chapter are the new bait situations. Fumi stripping and Sakura with a sex scene.
IF Fuckboi is still around, getting his input will be important along with Shinobu's with Fumi's. It'll be interesting to see how the boys react and respond to these situations.
I don't pay attention to the talking because Shinobu just kept licking her non-stop, so how could they talk effectively? LOL
However, I do notice that the KISSES like
@box2024 point out. The feelings are different, especially when compare to chapter 102.
Also, I do place importance on the words "I love you." IMHO, I believe the relationship between Shinobu and Fumi hasn't reached the level of love, rather it's a matter of taking responsibility. Fumi claimed she had never experienced love, so she asked for practicing with Shinobu, leading to the kiss and the misunderstanding. This implies that Shinobu is her first love.
About the fucboy character, unless chapter 129 is retconned to clarify that he didn't rape Sakura, I don't believe he’ll have a future role because Japanese fans loathe him intensely especially after what he did in chapters 129 and 130.
The fucboy character is ruined already. I doubt the author and publisher would risk alienating the fanbase by bringing him back into a storyline with Sakura, considering that even Sakura alone already draws hateful abuse and negative interpretations of her every action.
There must be no FMC in "romcom" manga being raped ! So, in chapter 129, Sakura must survive in the last minute as she did before. Maybe, Sakura stopped because of Shinobu’s call or if the fucboy acted like a gentleman. Instead he pinned Sakura’s wrists so she couldn't escape, forced a kiss on her and proceeded to rape her continuously until morning.
That behavior made readers loathe him. If it were truly consensual lovemaking, why would he need to pin her arms down to prevent her from pushing him away or fleeing and kiss her after she said "Shinobu" to not let her say his name again? It was obvious forced sex or rape that make many Japanese readers hate him till now!
The fucboy character can't be used anymore unless the chapter 129 is modified.
Anyway, I’ve noticed that Shinobu is only interested in innocent girls who have never had a boyfriend, so he turned down Nagi, Mio, and Hana who are not virgin anymore. LOL (Just kidding).
