Please let us see those interviews. We also want to read them. Thank you in advance.

BTW, I believe separating Shinobu from Sakura was part of the plan but it’s unlikely the author would use sex to drive that wedge between them. After all, both fucboy and Fumi were using sex to become the new partner.
I don't remember where i saw it but she said about the NTR happening and Shinobu didn't understand Sakura or something like that.(It could be fake news too so don't believe it 100%)

I don't think neither of them will jump straight to the arms amd suddenly comeback together.The gap for make them back together is really short.
For me it's not about whether they leap right back into each others arms or not, it's about baring the raw emotions and feelings that each side has kept bottled up, slapping Sakura with an extra dose of reality, and then going from there. This doesn't need an 6+ chapters, just a miracle.

Sakura didn't not even receive her reality check about the cheating thing so is hard to make them back together and their developments don't point for that.

Thanks a lot. I just took a look at it.

The volume 13 cover is beautiful but the content inside is terrible because it’s full of the misunderstandings that led up to chapter 129.

I'm no wonder why people don’t want to purchase to read it again. Also, the total amount of online readers have decreased since chapter 130. Many readers really stopped reading after chapter 130.

I’m not sure whether the artist intended to convey a specific message on the cover, does Sakura in the black swimsuit represent the "Devil" while Fumi in the white swimsuit represent the "Angel" ? LOL.

It feels like Fumi is 'pure' while Sakura is 'tainted,' huh? LOL.

Thank you very much. I just watched it a moment ago.

I'm not surprised that people don't want to reread it. Furthermore, the overall number of online readers has decreased since chapter 130. Many readers did stop reading after chapter 130.

I'm not sure if the artist intended any specific meaning on the cover. Does Sakura in a black swimsuit represent "demons," and Fumi in a white swimsuit represent "angels" ? Haha.
I don't think the designer of the cover for volume 13 intended to convey the meaning that you and VuongOuki claim.

If Sakura ends up back with Shinobu and Shinobu dumps Fumi, to me it will be the worst ending I've ever seen (even worse than the Domestic Kanojo ending). An ignorant, unfaithful female lead who still has the nerve to go back to the male lead, and a cowardly, terrible male lead who welcomes back a woman who cheated on him, only to abandon the girl who loves him more than anything in the world.
If anyone is curious, "Otto no Buka ni Ikasarechau..." another KA title is about to drop chapter 20. I wonder how bad she will do the MC, since she had no restrictions there.

Did i miss something about Sakura's hair color? Doesn't she also have brown hair on the old covers?
I think so, I was comparing her to the other covers, and I'd say her hair is brown. Maybe they changed the color to make her look a little more different from Fumi idk.

Not much left to say about this chapter, it seems, huh?
Well, I think we're at the same point as we were with 133. We knew that both proposals for the scenes could have been accepted; I think the only thing we could discuss is the dynamics of the two couples.

Guys...I just had a revelation. What if the events from each MC's perspective take place at different moments in time and they both relate to Shinobu and his movie?

Sakura's sex scene and Fumi's nudes scene...They're one and the same! The sex scene is between the two of them!

Well, I think the part about Shinobu not being able to understand Sakura refers to the fact that Shinobu wasn't able to see Sakura's insecurities about Fumi

Things will go from 0-100 in two chapters, been a while since we had some nice drama to wrap things up.
That's why I posted my latest theory. That way the three of them will be forced to confront one another in regards to their relationship(s). The movie will be successful, but not for the reasons we/Shinobu expect. The girls might get a little too into it in their attempt to compete for Shinobu... and you see where I'm going with this.
I know it's a longshot, but it would be kinda funny/ironic in a way.

I could see the writer's glossing over the inconsistency in the writing for the sake of the last two chapters and forcing this in if they don't want to sideline the sub plots completely. Using doubles in movies is a thing and maybe the producer COULD have put out a request for one just in case he expected Shinobu would refuse. Now physically you could argue that Sakura and Fumi are too different but let plot convenience come in here (only two chapters left ffs), besides even for Shinobu Fumi reminded him of Sakura so the vibe checks out. In short, it'll be forced and come with inconsistencies, but still be believable enough if this is how both of the ongoing subplots heading into the finale merge into one, and this scenario here is supported a little by the ending pages.

It was an old interview done during the beginning of GraPara a JP commenter dropped it awhile ago something about shinobu doesn't understand sakura so he would lose something and suffer but he would also gain something my guess is what he gains is fumi and his career. It's why I'm pretty sure him and sakura will not get back together.

Sakura isn't going to compete with fumi for shionbu she still thinks he cheated on her with fumi of anything it will confirm her belief on that.

It's a good theory, I also reached and I wanted to imagine this while coping earlier before we found there was only two chapters left so who knows at this point. Only issue I have with this one outside of the writing inconsistency is that it'd mean Sakura's "resolve" that she found after talking with Mio in the last chapter truly only did result in her accepting the role offered which feels weak but not impossible.
