I never saw a author doing a bait about a manga ending announcement.And she replied a reader that said that will enjoy the ending,so yes the manga is ending in 2 chapters
You're right, hopefully we can enjoy the ending too, atp I've come to accept and prefer a rapid execution vs having this story get dragged on. I think what'll ruin it more than anything for me isn't even ShiKura not happening but 2 things: Sakura never learning the truth, and Shinobu and Sakura never getting to meet again despite the way the ending panels were arranged.

@SS-2010 Caught up on all your comments, you are correct I forgot to check her fit at the end of 133, this puts the timeline into a better perspective in the end. I know 135>136 is a headache to predict because things will not proceed at a normal speed (very probably). I want to pick your thoughts on the ending though, do they maintain the ShiFumi statusquo while having Sakura end single, or do they force ShiKura in the process of "redeeming" Sakura, feel to free throw in any events you think will almost certainly happen (like surely Shinobu and Sakura meet one last time at least).
I didn't think big changes Will happen cuz there are Just two chapters left. Even the misunderstand and Sakura cheating won't be cleanned

Her liking the ending can go both ways. She seemed pretty fire about 129 after all lol
I think Kodansha pressure is in effect here enough that we can avoid a meltdown.

They can push things up and certain events might be accelerated. The misunderstanding might get cleared up, or it might not, all we can do here is speculate, both sides have arguments to be made. I'm 99% certain though that Shinobu and Sakura will meet again at least one more time.

See I'm 76% certain they never meet again let alone Sakura leading and more importantly accepting the truth.

Sooo she stays with fucboi or goes with Mio? Let's say she's goes with Mio that increases the chances of her meeting Shinobu because they share a connection. The ending panel doesn't feel like a bait and the build up from Sakura side could lead to more than just her doing a scene imo. If the goal is to salvage sales, ending with fucboiXSakura still together is a bold move but I guess if I had to I could see it the writers fully invest in ShiFumi stock and just used the Fumi mentioning Sakura bait to reinfornce that relationship in the next chapter.

LOL Because the author just introduced another beautiful woman to be the MC's co-worker at the end of the lastest chapter 127. OMG!
Eeehhhh the question is?? Is the coworker a woman? Or a man? Or a transformer? I ask bc the character has the same eye styles (albeit more melancholic) as Takeru and the coworker's body seems to be built like a male.

If woman, i already nicknamed xer the Temu Reze.

Well she may stay with fuckboi it's a netorare manga after all and Sakura hasn't changed at all yes she seemed annoyed but I can see her staying with that asshole. As for her agency it wouldn't make much sense for them to fire her when they suggested the role for her mio though changed things so I not remotely confident in all that. But I can see it happening that way one more fuck you from Arir. I can also see Sakura meeting shionbu by chance well I think at this point that's the only way they meet.

They will hopefully meet, I think they will bring back the rom-com. I don't think it's smart if the goal is salvaging volume sales to have fucboi and Sakura stay together still, especially going by the vibe from last chapter. I think Sakura in this chapter has changed a bit after that conversation with Mio, at least enough to be resolved to do something which I'll still cope is more than just taking on some role with a segss scene in it but no one knows. I'm sure 95% of the predictions for 135 will be way off.

If we take a step back, isn't all that's left in the manga worth basing the rest of the story around is to resolve the issues between Shinobu and Sakura? Everything else feels a bit secondary.

For those thinking fucboi X Sakura could end up still together because it just felt like a "light" falling out, fucboi made some fairly harsh comments about gravure work which is big part of Sakura's career until now (and she clearly cares about) so unless they're giving them a few pages of intense make-up seggs or spending time writing in some "character development" from either side to maintain this relationship, it feels like it should be pretty over. These two right now are the top 2 most hated so I think if redeeming Sakura a bit is the idea, removing fucboi is one of the easiest first steps with the setup they've left off at. The bigger move which I think is beyond the writers to try and do is reveal that Sakura was never an item with fucboi in the first place since that night.

I don't think Shinobu and Sakura will confront each other face-to-face to address the misunderstandings; instead, Sakura will find out through a third party. Maybe Mio calls Shinobu to ask about what happened, or Mio takes Sakura back to her old house where the people there tell her just how depressed Shinobu was. Shinobu is simply too gentle to ever spill the whole truth when facing Sakura.

Well not every jp comment is good.

I'd love to see a "Separate Volume: Days with Nakanishi (Nonstop)" like Baki, showing Sakura's descent into depravity. I'd definitely buy it.

Well now we have that answer don't we.

I was looking forward to seeing how the relationships would develop from here on out, so it's a shame there are only two more episodes. I was curious to see how they would change the readers' minds about Sakura.

Fucking ntr bros man I need more of fumi's tits!!!

I don't mind an unsatisfying ending! As long as I can read about what happened from Sakura's perspective in the months following that night in "Gurapara! Extra Chapter: Sakura and Nakanishi"...

Fuck me that one is well said.

Like everyone else, in the end, all you want is a comfortable place where you feel accepted. Well, Nakanishi, who basically stole her away just by her looks, obviously doesn't understand Sakura's journey, but Sakura still refuses to talk things through. What Sakura wants is someone who will accept her, encourage her, and help her, so she'll probably just go somewhere else again this time. Wherever she ends up, she'll be happy until she hits a dead end. ...I know it's a bit late to say this, but is this really the evaluation of the heroine of a manga that's been going on for over 10 volumes?

I think she'll break up with fuckboi and Sakura and Shinobu meeting will be acidental.(and probably the cliffchanger of the next chapter)

Their meeting is a MUST see moments that the readers want to see and Airi is not that dumb to not making that happen.Sided with the Sakura finding out about the truth.

FOR ME the last pannel of chapter 135 made it clear that the focus will be focused on Shinobu x Fumi x Sakura and fuckboi probably not going to be relevant anymore.So i can see Shinobu and Sakura meeting by acident,solve the misunderstand and maybe Sakura pushing him go to Fumi.(or even eventual reconciliantion)

For me the relation beetwen Sakura and Fuckboi probably won't last much after the conversation and how we saw that Sakura is not happy about it(he failed his promise).And Sakura's talk with Mio was important to see that she values Shinobu and say he was responsible to her doing her best and without him she doesn't know what to do.(i think she valued him in both aspects as lover and manager)

So my prediction is that their meeting will be acidental and their conversation could lead for a eventual reconciliation or a push from Sakura to support Shinobu with Fumi.

FOR ME the rushed pace that they're doing everything is possible and allows that to happen.
