To be honest, I don't really know what's so surprising about that. In 131, Shinobu was still thinking about Sakura. I think the important thing is to see what Fumi will do to win Shinobu now that he's given her a chance
If we are lucky fumi wins and he doesn't end up alone because Arir has made no moves to bring sakura and shinobu together for a talk let alone getting back together even then a fake out is likely there. Then there is will the readers accept it.

That door will remain open until the true end, bad sign if you're expecting to get lucky when reading a KA work, but Shinobu solo is unlikely, bro has too much rizz as an ssr in the cutthroat industry. Also Team Fumi's already won, don't get too greedy, can always look forward to the spin offs after.

Well she hasn't won until he tells her he love her plus Sakura kinda forfeited the game there didn't she.

In that sense both MC's are in a similar situation where they're not shown to have said "I love you" on any panel towards their supposed current partners now, 131 was prime opporutniy much like 133. If we assume ShiFumi are dating after that, then so too must fucboiXSakura unless KA is subverting. Sakura created an unthinkable disadvantage for herself but she still is FMC so the plot can side with her at any moment just like that.

Thing about Sakura is she cheated on shionbu even if it's shown she still care if she is still with fuckboi living and having sex with him it will ring hollow plus in a order to get them back together Arir would have to write fuckboi out of sakura's life somehow and do the same for ( I hate saying this) Fumi I don't think she has that kind of time left. That and is sakura is living with fuckboi that means she immediately moved in with another guy after leaving her boyfriend like the day after that would make her character hated even more.

Then surely there's no way they're living together atp then because it's such a damning move (both could have their own places). As for time, Airi could take the 3 chapters left in the volume for a cliffhanger leading into the next (maybe final) volume and the manga wraps up around the end of the year. I will admit though that the arguments for them being an item are stronger than the ones against it heading into 134 tomorrow: 130 van conversation + 131 mystery panels vs Weird Vibes girls' teatime gone wrong.

Team Fumi may have won this battle but with every amazing high comes a devastating low.

That's what worries me!

The difference is shinobu showed affection and attraction for fumi. Even in the last two chapters. Also fumi still never said go out with me... just look at me.
Shinobu was definitely more active than say Sakura, only remaining point is that neither have said "I love you" to the side characters but this can very easily change, just noting an interesting choice by the author if it was intentional.

Think of it this way, even if Fumi loses in the canon story she can still win in the event of a spin off or a bonus chapter so in the end its win-win. No on knows where the story is going still, even though I preach that ending things as they are now would be unsatsifying still, it could well be beyond KA's writing ability to flips thing around atp. 134 soooon.

Shinobu was shown still having lingering feelings which is normal. Fumi loves him is also known. Yet you all missing the point that shinobu is actively(right now) doing what fumi wanted from him and that is looking her way. He could say fuck i want to focus on myself and my career right now but he went with fumi kissed her and had mutual sex. That there was no "i love you" is normal considering the circumstances of shinobu but hes on a good path to fall in love with her

Unless she's actually made to be in a full on NTR situation for the sake of Shinobu's success.

I can't help but shake the feeling that the sex she's had is only a sign of something BAD about to happen and I hate that.

Like we were all like "Yay! Sakura had sex!!!" to "oh God Sakura had sex..."

"Yay! Fumi had sex!!!" to hopefully nothing bad..

I'll believe in creep face producer-san until he shows more reason that convinces me otherwise, the danger to Fumi would be from some actor she's paired with for the movie I guess (imagine if its fucboi lul). Interesting thing right now is that both Shinobu and Sakura at the current stage of their careers are being pushed to further explore the topic of "sensuality" for their work which could increase the chances of an unlikely reunion atm.

You know what who cares if the worst case scenario presents itself in 134, if fucboi shows and goes "haha I'm still crackin your ex", Shinobu just needs to respond "I'm crackin the upgrade brother, and I'm director now". (still 85% sane don't worry).

Regardless of the ending, I don't think we'll get anything that remotely resembles a doujin. I mean, anything is possible but that would really beg belief. Regardless, I wish I was on the publisher's meetings where they discuss Grapara. I wonder if it's even something that registers up the hierarchy...
I hope Kodansha forced her to redraw or cancel the sex of Sakura and fucboy (the root of problem) such as it's fucboy's dream etc. It's the only way to continue Grapara because any attempt to reduce the anger at Sakura in chapter 132 and 133 came to fail. Airi Katsura (sensei) has tried to DRAG the story without changing the chapter 129 but we all see the readers couldn't accept it.

With 134 if we're shown fucboiXSakura having been an item for the entirety of the time skip until preset, think of it as Airi Katsura tripling down and finishing the story on a very bittersweet note ig.

Then, in the real world, she and her editor will be sued by Kodansha and Keishi Nishikida sensei for the loss. LOL
