I was thinking the artist's post could be a hint fumi is end girl.
That mascot thing connects Sakura Shinobu, and then Sakura Fumi, but don't know if we can take much more from le tweet, felt like it was just asking people to support GraPara! for the rest of Summer (2 chapters in 1 month) which means we could be more hopeful for a Sakura redemption at the very least and then just see where things go from there.

All summer huh August we get a whopping two chapters the last of which may or may not be incredibly disappointing.

I mean we don't know how many pages each one is getting since at this rate the volume might be a bit small. Could hang onto some cope that they use the extra time and do like ~30 pages per so it comes out as like 3 chapters in the end for the finale which would be slightly better.

reposting @A.Tanakaaa 's analysis since it seems pretty reasonable...until the beautiful fan fic ending.

[After Nishikida Keishi-sensei tweeted about "Kachiwari," I felt a sense of familiarity and wondered if he was dropping a hint. I went back to re-read the material and discovered that this character actually appears twice—across two different volumes.
1. It first appeared in Volume 5 as a character cartoon that Shiko and Sakura loved. Shinobu intended to buy a doll of this character as a Christmas gift for Sakura, but ultimately did not give it to her because a malicious fan had hidden a camera and a GPS tracker inside the doll.
2. The second instance occurs in Volume 12, when Sakura and Fumi bump into each other and Fumi’s "Kachiwari" keychain falls. Sakura picks it up and returns it to her, leading to them getting to know one another. I believe the Keishi Nishikida-sensai, intends to show that Sakura and Fumi will meet, and that Fumi will reveal the truth:
Shinobu did not cheat on her—it was all a misunderstanding.
Fumi declares, "I won't lose to you—let's compete to see who can win Shinobu's heart." In the end, the two of them compete to woo Shinobu, but he remains unable to choose between them, ultimately resulting in a harem ending.]

I'm a little softer on the ending now since reading that other work since shionbu and sakura have in fact confessed their love to one another Arir is not in fact writhing her fetish. But Sakura was most certainly looking for a reason the leave shinobu as well in my opinion so its 50/50 right now she does a lot of counter intuitive things like not introducing shionbu as her boyfriend but still told fuckboi eventually that he was her boyfriend.

Rather than looking for, she got a brutal smackdown 2 hit combo that started from overhearing "parts" of that conversation between ShiFumi and then seeing Fumi kiss Shinobu. If she was really looking for reasons to leave Shinobu, then the bits of her thoughts throughout 133>134 don't make too much sense.

Well if you noticed in 134 her thoughts start out with shionbu but he isn't in any of them when she is thinking about her modeling work so that could be the point she has moved on from him and doesn't need his guidance anymore. In other words she doesn't need him.

This'll be one of those things hard to really know until they get to meet again. Mio honestly should just ask Sakura if she's 100% sure Shinobu was cheating. If you really think she's moved on, that increases the chances of her staying with fucboi imo. We're missing the drama bit of the finale to put things into perspective, at the very least the ending page suggests things between the three will come to a clash in this finale.

I think both still has lingering feelings for each other and the main conflict now is Shinobu x Sakura x Fumi and fuckboi probably won't be relevant anymore(the last page of 135 suugested that) and is pretty likely that she breaks up with him.

See what I can say for sure is fumi is the one who has Sakura and shinobu on her mind shionbu has fumi on his mind there and Sakura well I think she has Sakura on her mind. I will allow the tiniest of tiny amounts of shionbu.

And i still think if Sakura doesn't end with Shinobu she'll be single.And we'll see how she reacts when she finds out the truth.
