I just thought about this, but there is a very high chance that the author might just go for a very neutral ending because of the backlash, with both parties now with different partners, and either making peace with each other or maybe even not meeting at all. This way the author does not have to compromise on her ntr fetish, by not having to make Sakura experience any sort of guilt or consequences, while also not angering readers further by not making shinobu your average ntr cuck and him moving on instead. A big cope out but probably what it going to happen.
I think the meeting is definitely a sure thing, there's no way the last interaction between the two main characters could be some shitty five-word text message

Maybe I'm going to eat my own words somewhere down the line but I think things won't end bad for Shinobu
It took a few months of depression but Shinobu is back on his feet and just landed a major writer/director gig. Now its just about getting the script done and starting the production with all the actors assembled. Things are looking pretty good for him, even if fuckboi is involved in this arc and tries some dumb shit again.

We're all hoping for that. When it comes to Airi, Shinobu is easily her best written male character. No one here hates him.

He's kind, always putting Sakura over himself. He's depressed about what happened but not letting it hold him back fully right now.

Best of all? No signs of cuck behavior ANYWHERE. Time and time again he's shown to be bothered when thinking of Sakura sleeping with someone else.

We want him to succeed. We want him to have a good ending. He needs one. If all the girls end up failing. We at least get a Shinobu that's seen as good for him.

To be fair the baits no longer work after you go full netorare nobody will care because it has been shown that the author will go all the way if she doesn't she will not please the ntr bros if she dose she lose the last of her romcom fans if any are left.
I certainly felt this way about Guilty Circle, hell the ntr scene there only worked for me because the fmc and Mc were both retarded and unlikable and I took joy in watching them fail. Now that the line has been crossed what's the writer gonna do? Wind up the same scene but this time with a different fmc? Like they sold out for that moment and that included selling any interest, like who even genuinely gave a fuck if fmc finds her sister or not.

Yea Shinobu is great. However Shinobu is at his best when its for Sakura's sake, think back to the beginning where he's just a part time convenience store employee that's given up on his dreams and wasted around the last 5 years of his life. Then he meets Sakura, takes a knife stab for her and the manga takes off from there. This is also what convinces me so powerfully that Shinobu will reject Fumi because right now he has a golden opportunity before him with this major movie project and he'll need to put forth the best script he can write to increase those odds of success. Fumi is a good girl, but she's not Sakura and the situation between her and Shinobu is complicated even if Shinobu doesn't actively blame her for the breakup out of kindness, and hooking up with here and now will not allow Shinobu to write the best script he can because he'll be torn in two different directions.

In fact, guilty circle just entered its final arc and is probably going to end by the end of the year

Thing is the script is supposed to be written with Fumi in mind so they will spend a lot of time together and who knows what could happen from that period. Maybe this will help him close the chapter on Sakura and move on. Maybe not. A lot of things can happen

Exactly. One thing we can appreciate about Shinobu, despite what happens. He's a ride and die when he wants to see you succeed. He's devoted.

He always put Sakura first over himself. He was her pillar. That's why I want to see Sakura having a harder time now even with the agency and Yuma because she no longer has that pillar.

Shinobu has a chance to show his worth right now. He can probably keep Fumi close, but not date her yet. Not until he's content to do so IF that happens. I will not be surprised if his guardian instincts kick in when he sees or hears of Sakura getting in trouble.

The producer doesn't know about Shinobu's circumstances and likely suggested that because he just liked what he saw with Fumi acting ability but wanted a better romance aspect to the script. I think Shinobu can manage fine by writing a script substituting Sakura for Fumi. Everything is still up in the air, no one knows what Shinobu's response will be outside of slinging guesswork until 132.

With him being the director and with all the connections he's made in the industry I'd be scared for fuckboi and blonde if Shinobu sees them and get's even the slightest inkling that all is not well. To be fair though we don't have the full picture of everyone who'll be involved in this movie arc quite yet, it's such a missed opportunity to to include Sakura and fuckboi at least.

Exactly. He only agreed and endured the berating he got because despite it all, Sakura was still first and he wanted what's best for her. He's kind of like a parent in that aspect. He hasn't acted because, as far as he knows, Sakura is doing well and is happier. Even if it hurts him. He's just that good of a guy.

So the moment he suspects something. He's going to look into it. Garunteed.

That would just underline how bad airi really is if she gives shinobu no good ending and let slutkura get through with all of this. If she wanna redeem her she has to do a lot of things. Especially SHE has to go to shinobu and initiate the conversation

The best course I can see for Sakura at this point is her guilt. For her to realize she's always needed Shinobu. Suffering through her own realizations. Not through physical acts like being tossed around from man to man.

Y‘know what would be a funny interaction? Blondie trashtalking Shinobu in front of Fumi. Preferably with Sakura present

I think Fumi is capable of slapping someone if they insult people dear to her

Would not be surprised if she sees the potential Fumi has as an actress and tries to reach out and play her cards like she did with Sakura.

Just give me that moment where all the actors are assembled for a script reading and they introduce the director and out walks Shinobu.
