It also hinted at the story coming to it's ultimate conclusion with the writing of "countdown to its conclusion" so it was written with awareness of the announcement at the end of ch. 134. Honestly, it's hard to imagine them not meeting in 136 because that turns this entire article into a bigger bait then it already is in some ways.
Oh absolutely.
It's just absurd that they left it until the last chapter, 6 chapters where there's nothing about Shikura, it's incredible that it still has a high chance of happening, I don't know why I still believe it will.
It is very difficult to see how things play out with the way Airi decided to arrange 135's ending, could've just done a simpler ShiKura reunion cliffhanger and everyone would've been excited for 136, instead we're being tormented to the end.
10+ if you count 122 as being the only last real interaction between them, can't fault people for believing in a classic netorare ending, but if the reunion happens and it's a powerful enough movement, maybe some miracle happens. ShiFumi still has a chance to overcome this final hurdle though. While I want nothing more than ShiKura, the race is not decided yet.
I KNOW.
It's either the final rage bait, or some needed setup for the finale the play out the way it will.
Airi thought it would be brilliant to create another bait using a chapter from the end of the manga.She only made people mad on her again.
This is like the bait that would excite NTR bros and so that's the idea I suppose, but for any normal reader that doesn't necessarily care for NTR, this type of cliffhanger is just bad.
Almost all readers hate it.Mangapoke comments on this chapter proves that.
Wait what not he was cheating?
No lol the "translation" shows Sakura is telling fuckboi "I was cheating after all" in one of the messages he was reading from her
Lol it gets funnier when you realize they show front and center the moment sakura comes from fuckboi the first time but then at the still ask what will become of Sakura and shinobu's relationship. I look back I think it's the moment of insertion instead still answers the question.
Everything will be daijobu in the end...
Only if daijobu means ass.
Like the energy!
I don't think so. Most translators mess up the pronouns...
Just borrowing Airi's words from that one old interview there. Agree with everything you've said, while a big part of the premise was navigating the darker sides of the entertainment industry, the draw was Shinobu and Sakura's dynamic.
I think they're enjoying the irony in hindsight, it is funny when MTL doesn't get it right, AI's been a bit better with it.
