Or maybe it means shes going to make doujins... also why would she respond to just thst 1 comment after so many others asking about the end? I noticed she tends to respond only to account that appear to be woman and support her btw lol, maybe just a coincidence who knows

I think she will do a doujinshi to satisfy totally her fetish because in the manga probably the publisher didn't allow to do another stupid thing.

Can't the publisher stop her from making doujin too if they want? I believe they have to be OK with it

I don't know about it.Probably she can do it because she has the rights for the work.

The NTR hit is actually pretty light imo and it's pretty unique. Reach hard enough and you could say the ending is uh, somehow comedically wholesome. However this falls under the "gender bender" category as well so if you feel extra iffy about it then I'd pass.

I remember reading this one when it first dropped out of morbid curiosity, and found it somewhat humorous for what it is.

So you all think Airi's response on twitter doesn't mean anything?

 

[diphuc1]

Shinobu's attraction to Fumi was a bit of a mixed bag of parts of her that reminded him of Sakura (right at the first meeting), the obvious physical attraction, and the "lucky sukebe" incidents combined so it's hard to tell how pure his feelings towards Fumi are now vs Sakura. Just have to leave it to the writers and how they feel.

I think is just make people buy the chapter.

The story is most likely ending in two more chapters.

Her responses on X aren't too deep, the more recent one is a bit "bait" if you think about it too much but recall that it's under a 133 promo for it becoming free while 134 is the paid chapter and that's where the two chapter notice first appears and so she can't really talk about it.

I think that he remind of Sakura was the start but i think the way Fumi supported after the first script problem he had made him even more atractted to her,because we saw Shinobu imagine Fumi when he was having sex with Sakura and that made him interrupt their moment.

And i don't think with all we saw in the story that he would not do sex with Fumi if he didn't have any feelings for her and we saw that with Nagi's case.

It's because they're so similar that he started getting confused. During the sex with Sakura I believe it was right after another one of those "lucky sukebe" moments so it was just fresh in his mind and didn't anything deeper at the time other than making him feel guilty.

For the post time skip when ShiFumi became "official", I view it more as him accepting her feelings more while trying to distract himself with work because Fumi does say "even if the reason is for the script", suggesting she's not trying to tie him down. Neither MC has been shown to say "I love you" towards their current "partners" which could just be a minor nitpicky detail , but until we get a better idea it's worth keeping a note of. Especially with this latest chapter, the writers can very easily write off ShiFumi to force MC's back together.

The nitpicky romantic in me just doesn't like it. ShiFumi is a good ship, Fumi good character, and it's by no fault of her own but she is the cause of the misunderstanding. Having the story end with ShiFumi would definitely pass as "unique" and most fan appeasing ending but until it's shoved down my throat next month I shall deny it to the end. I believe a different and better ending can be written that paves a road to ShiKura that no one could believe, and would rather see that one than the obvious ShiFumi end being paraded around.

I understand what you say but Fumi's fellings for Shinobu and Shinobu's atraction towards her are developed since her introduction so is not hard to develop their ending here.And the movie thing show how he is worried about Fumi and how he feels about her doing it so he probably gonna find a solution for her not doing it and is way easier to solve that case because it only takes Shinobu to reasure Fumi because of her insecurities with Sakura and properly confess to her.

I think the director nickname is not something so odd to me because even in movies we see some characters creating a nicknames for their love interest and in the end,when they confess they call their real romances (classic romantic movies scene)

I see, you're western people, so you don't get used to Asian or Japan's tradition. You don't know the difference between calling by "title" and "nickname".

Calling a person by just his/her title without a name is to show respect to the person who are not close to you in Asia, but this kind of calling is not available in western countries. So, you misunderstand it as a nickname. No, it's not. LOL

To give you a picture, western people call their teacher by his/her name, right? But Asian people will call a teacher by his/her title without his/her name. It's like you call "teacher" instead of "Ms./Mr. name" It's normal in Japan but may be weird in western country. LOL

So, in Japan, you can see their relationship by noticing how they call the person.

The same example, if you're new to a teacher, you'll call him or her "sensei" without his or her name. But then you become closer, you'll call him/her by his/her last name with a suffix "san". And then you become very close to the teacher, you can call him/her by his/her first name with a suffix "o" or "ko". There are steps of relationship. You cannot skip the step because it's impolite. LOL

Fumi call Shinobu "director" which is a title, not a nickname. It means she's on the first step of relationship like you call your new teacher "sensei" without his or her name. If she create a nickname for him, it must be "Mr. director" instead of just "director." So, Fumi calls Shinobu following the tradition.

Scamming people and than baiting them to sell the volume better would be diabolical. I could see that but i dont think so. Nobody announces the final and than baits dont think anyone would have the balls to do that aswell especially in her position right now. She is dumb as shit there is no way to end this in a satisfying way. Either ruin it now with a lame ass ending but kinda satisfying with fumi and shinobu or just trash with shinobu and slutkura.

If you read about how Asian people can see the step of relationshop thru how they call that person. You'll understand that FumiShi is not official. They're not going out. Fumi still call him "director" as a person who is not close.

With this first step of relationship, it's easy for the author to break Fumi x Shinobu. It's a minor nitpicky detail in western country but it means a lot in Asia.

Sorry, but when did Fumi call Shinobu director? I don't think it was in chapter 134

I don't know which ships makes it to the end, just hoping 135 takes us for good wild ride instead of a shitty wild ride with the two chapters. My vibe check is just screaming ShiKura for reasons other than my preference though because there's still so much that needs to be resolved around Shinobu and Sakura, and only then can we really assess their feeling at that point for another and judge which ship is the truly deserving winner. It's been too long, just let them see each other at a convenience store or something istg.

Fumi said, 'If it'll help you as a director,' it's not like she actually called Shinobu 'director.'

 

[diphuc1]

"If it'll help you as a director". pg5. @SS-2010 Your explanation was really good and its true that neither of them are using nicknames for each other but the only time Fumi refers to Shinobu as director isn't her calling out to him but rather just saying if it'll help him in his role as the director, so the nuance might've shifted a little bit here after I re-read it.

Basing this all on the EN TL, I don't know how if it changes with the original JP. In the end the result is still the same, conversation ending as awkwardly as the fucboiXSakura one to match.

Oh, you're right. Sorry, she did not call him anything in chapter 134.
