shit man, this has nothing to do with Grapara and I don't remember if anyone mentioned it here, but it seems like that editorial is shit. Look what I found on Twitter.

MASSIVE KODANSHA SCANDAL:

'Cells at Work!' Author speaks out on poor work conditions after the fact that she was sexually abused.

It got to a point where she considered Suicide.

She suffered multiple forms of mental illnesses during the serialization and was diagnosed with Depression, Trichotillomania and PTSD and others.

- They removed & changed her author credit in spin-offs without permission

- The editor rejected medical supervision: "it's a manga, it doesn't matter."

Kodansha issued an Apology on the matter.
Damn thats fucked up shit, maybe im to harsh to airi and maybe its really all editors fault. If this comes out i have to apologize to airi till the end of my life.

And it seems this isn’t the only case

Kodansha Scandal expands further:

Maru Kayata Illustrator of "The Girl, the Shovel, and the Evil Eye" revealed that the company unfairly withheld her payments for over a year and completely ignored her alarming physical decline.

Management forced her to continue under inhumane conditions even though she was suffering severe weight loss.

I'll decide that when I see it
I mean the whole premise of the manga was these two getting together and now that isn't happening so anything else is a consolation prize I don't think it would have felt that way if this had happened sooner and more attention was given to show shinobu's attraction to fumi.

They could always drag out the manga past 137 for another volume if they really want to build Fumi, but I just don't see this happening.

I'm gonna do a @diphuc1 and tell you there is still a chance for these two to end up back together.

however, I will not elaborate further on this

I think exactly the opposite, any ending with Sakura will be bad hahahahaha
At this point true but what I'm saying is it seems the fumi x shinobu romance is being rushed like it was an after thought when it really should be a major turning point for shinobu's character,he still isn't over sakura even though she is very much over him we won't get to really see the moment fumi wins by displacing sakura.

I just can not see how that will happen not JUST story wise but the author and editor planned it this way they do not want to write that story.
Why settle for the tamer and lamer ending ending that all your readers are expecting after your most recent developments instead of pulling off a reversal and going beyond that towards a grand finale. They're the ones whose livelihood is riding on this.
