A Sakura ending for me would so much anti-climatic
ShiFumi to me would be the same atp (all he has to do in confess?), difference is Sakura has way more conflicts to resolve making it more interesting, difficult, but not impossible. There is no climax to a ShiFumi ending (imo), it's just shippers rejoicing because their ship made it to the dock.

Not me what would be anticlimactic would be following these two for over a hundred chapters just for things to end between them in such a short amount of time.
9 chapters give or take if you want to include the setup from both sides in the earlier chapters. Fumi being great aside it really sends such a mixed message if it ends the way every one expects, ShiFumi + Sakura single. Queen Mio and her agency is great but it can only fix so much.

Anticlimatic was the wrong term but it woud not feel plausible after everything happened.For me to Sakura at least try again she would have to suffer,cry,beg for Shinobu's forgiveness and them start a redemption development.

For me it would like it with these development:

"Ahahahah Hey Shinobu!i cheated on you but i still love you!!ahahahahah"

"Ahahahah Sakura you naughty girl! I love you too!!!"

For me is not enough,for me is not that plausible and for me is not a ending that Sakura deserves.Her moving on and improve herself is way better ending for her.That ending would only be possible due plot convienience and forced thing happen.

And with that we have to destroy Fumi that was way better option for Shinobu just to please the FMC.

Recently we saw some FMCs losing in the end so is nothing new here.And at least in this one Fumi was well developed.
Not just about FMC win/lose but the chain of events, even a Fumi win is unsatisfying as things stand imo. Either way no victor is in sight yet, no clue how 135 goes, but right now Fumi is probably going to start empathizing with Sakura (insecurities) and we'll see what she does.

if Fumi ends in a situation where she steps down I wouldn't say that's "destroyed". Not a soul here has a clue how their reunion goes but everyone is anticipating it and it's the the final powerful moment left in the story that can really shift things, even for haters. That + some unexpected drama ig.

Both will feel unsatisfying:

Because with Fumi people would feel sad about Sakura x Shinobu former relationship

WIth Sakura will complain until the deep breaths of hell because she does not deserve a new chance here.

And that Fumi insecurities is way easy to solve than people thing it is,and is way easier to do it than a Sakura ending.

Better to see how the ShiKura confrontation plays out and then people can go back to complaining and hating. As for Fumi's insecurities well Shinobu doesn't even know about it yet so the answer is the same as it is for Sakura's case, stay tuned for next chapter! Easier to solve doesn't mean it's always to better ending to me.

I think it would feel a bad taste in the mouth because it feels unfair to Fumi.Their reunion will be impacful but not the impact people expect to be.

Sakura's hate will be at maximum a little bit reduced but it won't end it doesn't matter what happens,the readers are way more resentful than you think and the JP fans want Sakura to be dead now.People are not that kind and guillable everytime to make a cheap redemption to shift their opinions.

If it's not a cheap redemption then it checks out. Fumi well developed sure, but Shinobu and Sakura have the history. JP fans should be more angry at KA botching the writing to this degree, but again opinions can flip just like that, and if we're only getting 2 chapters in the next month, don't expect everything to go according to predictions.

The JP fans are angry with both and for the 2 last chapters has to be 50 pages just to make that plausible and until now she failed on make Sakura likeble again and is not now that we have 2 chapters now that it will change.

If each chapter gets around 30 pages it could work. We'll know soon enough.

I think at maximum will have 25 pages and i don' think 30 pages would work here because we have:

1.Fumi insecurities being adressed

2.sex scene plot,this is important it doesn't matter if you like or not

3.Likely Fumi x Shinobu moment

4.Maybe we see Sakura breaking up with Fuckboi instead of being off screen break up.

5.Shinobu x Sakura conflict

6.Career decisions from the three of them

For me,Fumi is almost on the same level as the protagonist so she will have almost the same screen time than the main characters and the last pannel of 134 suggest that.
