He will more likely run into Sakura before he can have that conversation with Fumi, again mirroring what happened 6 chapters ago loosely if we think about it. Darkly comedic.

KA won't end this manga leaving Sakura hated as she is.
Alas sakura will be hated regardless of how this ends some like you will be happy some like me will be torn by it but still ok with it and some will just hate it no matter what.

Feelings yes maybe but it's not like they are an official couple yet yes there was sex but with how fumi asked for it it was no strings attached ( even if it's just for the script know me better) see she isn't asking him to love her back even though she states she loves him. It's ambiguous as to how he fully feels for her and new information like with how sakura is now could change that. I had the reread 131 to get that now my day is ruined thanks.

I could have just went backwards from 132 dammit.
Fumi asked to look her way yes, yet both initiated the sex and it was mutual from both sides. After that we saw them together the whole time. To think both would or should be together after the sex when she literally never asked for that and knows in which position shinobu is right now is funny ngl. You analysing fumi and shinobu to the smallest detail, yet slutkura never showed any romantic feelings when she thought of shinobu in the last chapter the comparing from both sides are so different. Shinobu looks at slutkura and remembers her for who she was when both were together meanwhile slutkura only looks at shinobu for what he did for her(in business not outside). She literally said she was able to give it her all because shinobu was there. Interpret it like you want but imo it doesnt sound like someone being in love with the person more like she appreciated the time with him because he helped her to become what she is right now and thats it. Also she was shaken in her determination for the offer but because of mio she managed to find her answer like airi is teasing that she tries to go her own way without shinobus help(which is kinda character development)

Like airi is showing that both are giving their best on their own now. Also shinobu was worried about fumi the whole chapter @diphuc1 mentioned that the conversation shifted to slutkura again which is kinda wrong because it just shifted because fumi mentioned her because she is insecure if she can compete with her(which she can shinobu wouldnt be attracted to her from the beginning if not). Shinobu never showed any signs to think about her in this chapter at all till fumi mentioned her. Yet shinobu is out there how he manage to solve the nude scene. Slutkura wont be redeemed. Her ending up with shinobu will be so fuckign trash writing that i really hope airi grows a brain just this once and dont do it. You had 6 chapter time to redeem her and you didnt do shit with that. No you just showed a sex scene with fuckboi in 131 and that she is still with him lmao.
If they end up together than it will be probably the worst ending in romcom and if not probably still the most unsatisfying ending because something will happen with fumi... I still stand with both wont see each other again and just to their stuff. The conversation was due four chapters ago.

She showed up because producer called, and so it is still work related

In the car convo with Mio Sakura recalls Shinobu's importance to her values before going more specifically into her feelings about doing gravure.
True but still she didn't have to be their for him romantically nor as a friend but she is she gave him space knowing he had a girlfriend remember she didn't find out about the breakup until after the director talked with them or I think she would have been their sooner I wish we could have seen that aspect of their budding relationship. To give us contrast between fuckboi and Sakura I hate writing that but I did.

Like most of people are saying here,it doesn't matte what she'll do with her.She still gonna be hated with same intensity because her character was really destroyed by Airi and some attitudes after the NTR made people hate her even more.
She will be hated. The only solution would be to really redeem her with a few chapters but with this development... no chance

See that's why I'm torn on the two we have followed the romance between shinobu and Sakura for this long but fumi was there for shionbu at what is arguably his lowest point in life being cheated on by the love of his life who he has supported all this time over a misunderstanding on her part versus fumi who was there to pick him up and give him new purpose
If Shinobu still feels more strongly about Sakura than his developing feelings for Fumi than it can't be helped.
She had supported him sometimes but She made way more stupid mistakes than helped so that does not make a good evaluation for her.

Fumi showed support before the timeskip becausehe had the first script problem and she said she liked the script.That made even Shinobu imagine Fumi when he has been doing(or trying) sex with Sakura.

And he was atracted to her since her introduction and her feelings for him had been developed since her introduction.
Not saying Sakura's evaluation is great, but saying she did nothing is disingenuous. Fumi's resemblance to Sakura is what kickstarts Shinobu's confused attraction compounded with the "lucky sukebe" moments and misunderstandings.

The whole conversation in the car stems from the dilemma surrounding the sex scene offer (work). Sakura doesn't know what the right thing to do is or what to do now that Shinobu isn't around, since he used to guide her when she was doing gravure (work).

One I a have mentioned sakura's lack of romantic remembrance of shinobu but that for Sakura might have been when she was falling in love with shionbu Arir writes sakura with an air of obscurity after all alot can be in-ferd from her thoughts right or wrong. Lastly Sakura is still there in Shinobu's mind fumi isn't stupid she know shionbu is still thinking about her and still has feeling for her nor has he accepted hers yet yes he dose have felling for fumi but it's not a lock until he tells her he loves her.

We haven't even gotten the first half of finale so no use thinking too much about it and getting down.
It would be only bad writing if she does that for Fumi.
It could very easily happen if we pick right up from where we left off on those final pages

Nah if ShiKura pulls through it'll be fire just to read 99% of the comments to follow here if I'm being honest.

That's why I keep saying it feels like she doesn't miss him and his love but her time working with him.the closest it would seem she did that was at nagi tea time. But you can completely extract that she misses him guiding her in her work only.

Ooomf, don't think about it too much like that

Nah would be trash ass writing ngl. Even more trash than it is now. Also no, slutkura will be hated to the end. It would take several chapters to truly redeem her.

See that's how people will feel about the endings no matter what happens the characters and how we feel about them have become complex for many not all but many whether on purpose or not. Then again sometimes the best things are done on accident.

We are splitting hairs that don't need to be and overthinking by 9000%.

That's exactly why I say that Sakura only misses Shinobu as her manager

Yes yes it is it will be interesting to see how Arir handles it regardless of what happens.

Trash writing for you is great for others. That's the fun of a story it doesn't always appeal to everyone.

Point is they are likely going to give her some redemption and not leave her in the current state, the setup up for this has been going for for 3 chapters already, and so add the finale 2 and you'll have to make-do with a 5 chapter redemptions process that gets hyper accelerated in the end sequence.

Yeah and airi did it two times in a row... dont think she will change it in the last two chapters. Slutkura will remember shinobu as someone who helped her a lot throught her dark time. And yeah again fumi knows and doesnt rush him.
