I also don't think Sakura deserve Shinobu atm, she doesn't have any redemption.

But you see this is KA work, her heroine always got good ending without any consequence. Especially only 2 chapter left it's impossible to erase all the hate for Sakura, even tone it down would be really difficult.
But if slutkura is hated this much the best way to get better sales on the last volume is to let shinobu end with fumi lol it doesnt make any sense to let shinobu end up with slutkura just because she is the "fmc"... i will hope just this last two times in airi that slutkura doesnt get back together with shinobu and that fumi ends up with shinobu IF she becomes normal the next chapter

She caused the misunderstanding but Sakura was the biggest responsible for that mess to happen because of her stupid mind.

When she learns the truth and meet Shinobu,i don't think she'll throw herserlf to Shinobu's arm and only would feel a big regret about it.And in Shinobu's aspect he is/was really hurt about what Sakura did.Their reconciliation can happen but it would forced in some many ways.

Fumi has her insecurities about Sakura but for now it only needs Shinobu to reasure her that he loves her and moved on.And his toughts about the scene with Fumi suggests that he developed some feelings for her and doesn't want the scene to happen here.So i can totally see Shinobu finding a solution for her problem for her sake because he is the director of the movie so he can change the script if he wants.
It really will depend on the circumstances when/if that moment of truth hits but I can seen them making it not too forced and maybe Kodansha decreed and MCxFMC end cope. How much raw emotion and suffering will Sakura go through, what will she decide to do, is Shinobu around and how does he feel when he sees Sakura.

I do not think the final two chapters will have enough room to force a reunion between Shinobu and Sakura.
I think someone already brought up the fact that the last Volume will have less pages then the rest had. So we can pretty much expect an "Epilogue" ch in it... That would also be a smart move by the publisher as it will probably boost a bit of the sales in the end.

She went with flow during all the story.(only few rare times that she was rational)
No better chance now to subvert expectations then, like her doing more than just accepting that seggs scene role (don't worry im mostly coping on this one idea).
Maybe it's Arir so don't hold out to much hope.
I'll be the last thing in Airi's box until the end.

It will fell forced in every way if they do it.If Kodansha decides the ending is most likely Shinobu x Fumi because now she is way popular than Sakura and the readers really loved the couple.

I think at minimum Sakura and Shinobu will end up being friends and coworkers.A reconciliation isn't discharged but it will feel forced anyway it doesn't matger what the characters will react or act.

I think they'll force a reunion as a cliffchanger for 135.That would make people hyped for the last chapter.I don't see that manga receving an extra chapter here.

I don't mind it feeling a bit forced, if the redemption is miraculously done right things can flip just like from chapter to chapter. How the characters react will be important imo.

And readers are really expecting the last meeting so i don't think they would let it be a extra for sell a volume here.
Nah, the reunion will happen in these 2 ch for sure. But them reconciling or just being each others support could happen after a big time skip in an epilogue. Stuff like that is normal, i'd say it more rare to not have some sort of epilogue in the last volume of a manga.

Man, I really don't think there's going to be a redemption, there isn't enough time or enough chapters to pull one. I think it'll be unsatisfying.

They will crank the pacing if needed for certain things. Satisfying or not will be up to the individual reader. The most unsatisfying thing is actually there not being a redemption because that would require Sakura never learning the truth and ending the manga as one of the most hated FMC in a "rom com" in a 3 year serialization effort based around her.

Hmmmm maybe I didn't choose the right word; I think “forced” would be better

Same here. It all points to them maybe just talking and going each their own way but with a clear mind this time... Like he said "it was necessary for them to break up".

If we had like 5-6 more ch i could see some room for her redemption, but forcing it now with so little room left, i just don't see it.
