Who is mio? and did she got ntred(i mean did she get fucked in front of shinobu like the girl in the bush?)

That would be Nagi during the island arc early on, just a bit past Mio' introduction. Nagi got the worse end of the rejected girls because she settled for the scumbag athlete guy who was frustrated he couldn't go all the way with Sakura. I don't recall if Shinobu realized what was going on, but him walking up on Nagi while she was wrapping up a threesome (Toppy joins at a point) was wild. Mio (insanely popular gravure idol) is the first girl that helps Sakura and Shinobu out by doing a collab photo shoot with them and later on she also helps them settle into the place they are now living in because her family owns it. As for Mio sex life, she have at least 1 sex friend, and an insane sex drive where he drained 3 guys out of frustruation because Shinobu stood her up on a date to go save Sakura from a sleazy agency director.

I don't think he is lying to shinobu here he has no need because he has everything anyways and he knows it or that's the author's intentions.

Why are you so stuck on then getting back together?

Damn, man, I've been thinking, how the hell have we talked so much about this manga? It doesn't make sense to me; it's not like it's some great philosophical work or anything with deep logic behind it hahahaha

We're basically trying to help the author not fuck this up some more after doing one of the biggest fuckups through our discussions for a brighter future for Shinobu and the downfall of Sakura.

What me stuck no I'm on the fumi train but what I have been saying is right now we have no idea where the story goes from here the premise is gone there is no more romance between the two and the netorare was well weak but how long it goes on gives you an idea of where it will go if it's long then you can expect a sakura X shinobu interactions again weather that means they become an item I do not no if this the last volume fumi train the time table would make sense and I hope she appears next chapter tomorrow.

Here I though quirky girl discussion were crazy. Granted those were on discord.

I don't think he has Shinobu's heart fully yet. Also he could embellishing some truths like her staying at his place meant in the same building, or the contract signing only being orally agreed to for now and not formally completed.

There’s one thing Nakanishi-kun says in this conversation that bothers me a bit: “Yes, the contract should already be finalized as well.”(はい もう契約も済んでるはずです)

This wording is strange, because when we saw Sakura moving out, the time on Shinobu’s phone was 1 p.m., while the meeting started at 8 p.m. Seven hours had already passed in between—more than enough time for anything to have been completed. If, as he says, Sakura is now in his apartment, then they should already have met and exchanged information about what happened outside while Nakanishi-kun was absent. If the agreement had already been signed, he should have stated it with certainty, rather than saying “should already.” And even if Sakura had not confirmed it with Nakanishi-kun, Izumi Anka should have confirmed it with him via LINE, so it shouldn’t have sounded like a guess.

OG canon pairing, cute together, think similar, truly love each other. Shinobu was willing to die for her at the beginning of the manga before he even got to know her as a person, he's taken punches for her (literally), helped her get out of her first crappy agency contract, found her a new place to live because she was broke, always looked out for her. If Sakura is in a position where she can't trust in Shinobu because of the circumstances, it would be way cooler to see Shinobu step up and put in enough work and trust for the both of them to overcome the current obstacle between them rather than see him give up and go for a different girl.

I took so long to type my reply lol, this was soo directed at me but I liked see your response too!. ༼ノ◕ヮ◕ ༽ノ︵┻━┻

Chapter 10~11, not overly graphic but makes for a funny read.

 

[diphuc1]

My ship preferences aside, Fumi's design is pretty top tier. Even if the main storyline doesn't conclude with her and Shinobu getting together I hope there's chance she'll at least get a bonus chapter for her happy ending epilogue, or we get a spin off centered around her story.

I will keep this in mind heading into the next chapter, could be another key piece of info. Time for the real Izumi and Nakanishi to step into the spotlight, not when they have their act up.

Cheating is just an obstacle? You listed everything Shinobu has done for Sakura and how she was just along for his ride. Then she betrayed him. Watching this is just like watching someone's hard work and careing being taken advantage of. He's too good for her and she doesn't deserve him.

ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) I like our back and forth, thank your for taking the time.

 

[Alsatia]

One option for the author, that is garbage, is that she walks it all back and fuckboi lied saying he had sex and 129 was Shinobu's thoughts of what could have happened. It would be lazy writing though and IMO would still leave people angry at the bait and switch.

The only way I can see this happening is with the release of a 129.5 chapter that reveals that this moment didn't happen at all.

Never in my intention to downplay the act of cheating, could have chosen words better, the goal was to say that cheating, while incredibly hard to ever forgive, is not impossible to and it comes down to how the couple feels. True Shinobu has done a lot more laboring for Sakura, while what Sakura gives back to Shinobu isn't really noticeable, but she provided him with an emotional support anchor that empowered him to keep doing what he was able to do.

Time to get them 130 redraws put out, although on second thought they could just adjust the last panel to something like "are in love" or something.

I thought that maybe I was the wrong person I have been consistent about fumi being best girl a little obsessed many e but in a good way hopefully that will keep her out of situations like sakura's.

Oh true, I didn't think of that. My thought is it would only be shown that he was lying here. We'll just have to wait till tomorrow to see what happens!

With how shinobu has been written this far yes he will eventually forgive her how soon I don't know heck he will likely blame himself for all this even though it's not his fault so unless the author changes his perception of Sakura I expect him to forgive weather or not they ever get back together is a different thing altogether.

We are 12 hours away now.
