Because she thinks she is writing an netorare story and the fmc's of those kinds of stories never end up facing consequences let alone accountability. Plus since the netorare bait isn't bait anymore she has to finish up soon because that is what held readers attention for the last 126 chapters I just can't see her making sakura bare any consequences let alone ever get back with shinobu shit I don't know how she gets shinobu with fumi at this point either which is why I think he ultimately ends up alone like how he started the story.
Katsura would rather leave an open ending where both mcs are still single post time skip and have them meet so she can leave an open ending up to the reader's imagination.

That would be stupid so yes she might do that. It's not a netorare ending but then again she can't write those anyways.

Sometimes you have to think outside the box... Pun intended :lul:

But seriously, she is not that hard to understand. Look at this ch, most of you guys thought the sex will continue, think i was the only one who guessed she will go with fuckboi. Even though i wrote the full ending so i won't give myself that much credit.

I'll leave this next part here, just to give you guys something to think about. I believe this whole arc was originally supposed to be an answer to the question that was present in every arc, "What would happen to this dumb FMC if MC wasn't around anymore?". They just didn't think it will blow up in their faces like it did...

I always thought she was going to leave shinobu but also thought there would be more sex.

Yes exactly, but he was interested in her no? He got confessed by a gloomy looking girl and than he went to another city to study with her. Came back and saw his father with his CF. The one i already mentioned wasnt like that it was simply dude came back didnt confessed or anything and cf got fucked by his father on new year. Ironically the one with the blonde father was written by a woman and it was decent you understood why cf fell in love with the father. The other one you didnt just an ub thats it lol
I think he was interested in her but saw that the other girl will give him her body, something like that... Got to check it out again now lol
This is probably one of the few NTR i'm on board with. It's justified NTR and the MC was a real fucking idiot... Servers him right as some would say.

Team Shinbou x Sakura here. In Karami Zakari the pathetic MC still stuck it out with FMC albeit in a twisted relationship. Shinbou feels like a much more developed MC at this point and the key is whether author will immediately enable Shinobu to pick up on how Yuma has probably been the one texting him instead (including the "I can't see you anymore" but not proof on that on panels) text while letting Sakura keeping believe that Shinobu was moving on from her and convincing her that she had to do the same, especially after what just happened between her and Yuma. All that along with the other girl helping Yuma manipulate Sakura, while 129 was the point of no-return I feel like the next few chapters can still swing things back around but it really comes down to Shinobu at this point with Sakura mentally still out of commission.

I admire your optimism but it would be funnier id shinobu ended up NTRing sakura back behind fuckbois back no way it ever happens but it would be funny.

I'm not in favor of such a drawn out resolution that could take several chapters, and given the pacing of Sakura already signing with the new agency, moving out, and the fuckboi approaching Shinobu to reveal everything and ask for him to break up with Sakura, I feel there's chance for a quicker resolution by exposing certain plot points if Shinobu can pick up where some things seem off. I'm being optimistic too hell and back, but again even if turns out that Katura Airi pulls similar endings to their other works, MC and FMC technically still ended up together in the end, even if there were uh some "bonuses" included. Ultimately, for me while the fuckboi Yuma does seem serious about Sakura for now, I just can't stomach that opportunistic manipulator and his wingwoman (sister?) winning out any further. TL:DR Assasinate Yuma's character please.

It's kind of confusing as to why fuckboi would ask shinobu to breakup with her when Sakura already has it seems she left him as her manager and said she doesn't want to see him so wouldn't that count as a breakup. Katsura Airi makes no sense.

Its probably just the serious part of Yuma's character (he's no douchebag fuckboi so sadly) wanting to make sure there's no room for reversal. Shinbou and Sakura need to at least meet face to face, since this all still rides on a misunderstanding of comedically tragic proportions.

100%, but he's also been mentioned to be "bad with romance" so who knows (mentioned by that actress that he's tagteaming with to manipulate Sakura). We haven't seen enough of the fuckboi's character yet but so far, despite all my bias/hate towards what they've done, as characters at this point in time they're not "evil" and might be a good match for Sakura, and that ending will leave the Team Fumi people feasting. The setup for what can go down from here is pretty big. It would be insane if Shinobu could man up here, similar to other Katsura Airi MCs, he's been through a lot in 130 chapters so it'd be nice to see some payoff that you don't get from the usual one'shots/shorter works.

Yes but the whole premise was a romance between shinobu and sakura with him warding off NTR some say it's a story with NTR but 126 chapters of netorare bait show otherwise it really seems the author just hates her male protagonist's even this upcoming chapter is mentally to do nothing but humiliate him further. I can't stand when author's do the he is so much better than the male protagonist troupe for the guy who steals the female lead it's boring. I don't think he will get with fumi ethire I just can't see it I think she will feel to guilty about what happened to let that happen. Plus that would fit Katsura Airi writing style.

It just went as expected.

Shinobu's gonna end mindbroken and we're going to witness the shitshow. It just begun. Sakura breaking up with him via phone like a coward was the beginning (but given it's Airi Katsura who's doing this manga, Shinobu will be the one at fault for everything). And now netorichad breaking in the news to him.

If Fumi isn't there to give some containment to Shinobu, he can end up doing somethkng really stupid like going fetus position and suck his thumb like a baby lmao

I've read Karami Zakari and disliked all the MCs involved, Shinobu though I still think has a slim chance a redemption despite the manga having basically gone past a point of no return. Tagging this manga as a rom-com was definitely a mistake though, no doubt. 130 left on a nasty panel and Shinbou's response needs to subvert expectations that everyone is having right now heading into 131 (prayge). I agree that the Fumi ship won't/shouldn't sail as well, ShinoXSakura please.

Lol there have been more and more comments about how the agency of the actress of the live action likely won't let her do a season 3 because of how hated sakura has become and to be honest that hasn't been something I have thought about but this dooming the live action would be so damn funny.

Shinobu X sakura may piss off her fans more than 129 did. There is a lot of sakura hate particularly after the breakup by text which would piss off even the female readers who are in it for the netorare.
