Jp bros are thinking the same thing in connection to fuckboi.

The words, "It takes courage," are evidence that she wants encouragement to take on the challenge of a sex scene. If it were Shinobu who asked, "Sakura-chan, do you want to do gravure?", she would have instantly seen through Sakura's feelings and thought together with her what she really wanted. I think the meaning of "I was able to do my best because I was with Shinobu" was Shinobu's kindness in helping her to draw out the path she should take from her own feelings. Now that Sakura has seen that side of Shinobu, I don't think she can be satisfied with Nakanishi, who has lost that kindness. Whether or not she accepts the sex scene will affect Sakura's future as an actress, and in this respect, I think a breakup with Nakanishi, who is incompatible with her, is inevitable.

Anything that hurts fuckboi is great.

Even including Shinobu, Sakura, Fumi, Mio, the producer, Nagi, and the new manager, Nakanishi is the only one who has expressed a negative impression of the sex scenes. Moreover, she even went so far as to say, "You absolutely shouldn't do it." "Anyway" in dictionary terms means either way. In this case, "I'm against it anyway" is not a reason, but an expression of rejection based on emotion. In other words, I think all of Nakanishi's pleasant-sounding statements showing concern for Sakura are fake. I suspect that Nakanishi's true feelings are simply based on the self-centered idea that she doesn't want to get hurt by the sex scenes.

Fuckboi gunna be a fuckboi.

After a few months, you'd think he'd realize that gravure modeling wasn't just a stepping stone for Sakura, but Nakanishi didn't even understand that. Nakanishi, who had prayed at the shrine a hundred times, "I don't care whether Sakura is happy or if I get to date her," was drinking water with Sakura's back to him after they were together. As this image of Nakanishi not even looking at Sakura symbolizes, I think that from the moment he stole Sakura from him, his interest in her began to wane. I personally find it interesting that the one who changed the most from the NTR wasn't Shinobu, who was NTR'd, but actually Nakanishi, the one who stole her.

Yet again fumi isn't the one who ran away and fucked another guy all night while shinobu looked for her.

Fumi regrets failing to seduce Shinobu the night she stayed with him, and since then, she's been obsessed with the idea of sleeping with him. In the scene filmed right after Sakura witnesses the kiss and runs away, she shamelessly tells Shinobu, "I want you to only look at me," not as an act, but as her true feelings, so I don't think Fumi feels the slightest bit of guilt for tearing them apart. She says "I'm sorry" and "It's my fault," but that's only in front of Shinobu, and it should be seen as nothing more than a pose by Fumi to win his favor. Also, I thought it might simply be that Fumi doesn't know Sakura's contact information, so there's no way for her to clear up the misunderstanding about the affair.

Still there is possibility that yuma and sakura make up in the next chapter. Who knows that airi will make yuma change his attitude and perception for sakuras sake. Even if it just a little it means a lot to sakura, since shes already feel trapped in a non romantic relationship, she cant get out even if she wanted to. She needs someone to hang on to, thats why she think of shinobu in the last chapter.

Im going to enjoy whatever happen in the next two chapter and wont expect much for a good closure between the mc and fmc.

Realistically shinobu will react with contempt when facing sakura if they will ever meet. Maybe just a proper goodbye and good luck all there is between the two. And the realisation of shifumi probably wont happen either.
I don't think playboy and Sakura will reconcile, we've been given too much evidence that he doesn't really give a shit about Sakura, he got to fuck her and that's it.

As for whether Sakura and Shinobu reconcile, that's still uncertain but I feel more certain about that then I do about Fumi and Shinobu staying together.

it was only another possibility.

i dont really mind whether its going to be shikura or shifumi ending if its going to satisfy readers.

To me, if its going to be shikura, it would require another timeskip for at least few years in the future. the love is still there stay still dying, but the trust has gone. More than love itself, trust is fundamental for a relationship. And i am still sceptical if within few years, both parties have arrive to the point of what they were before.

Even chico has better chance to win shinobus heart than sakura to me. What shinobu crave now is worry free relationship of all the heroines in grapara! i believe chico is the most faithful.
Ever wonder what would chico said to sakura if sakura herself said she cheated on shinobu?

I agree that Chico has better chance to win shinobus heart than Sakura. In fact, I could even see Chico being the one who finally tells Sakura the whole truth, since Nagi has become useless to this particular storyline. At this point, her only role is to connect Sakura with Mio so they can talk.

What's more, Nagi could have been removed from the story altogether, because Sakura could have simply run into Mio by chance in Chapter 134 anyway. That only makes Nagi's role feel even more useless

On top of that, Chico lives in the same dormitory as Shinobu and has been able to observe everything firsthand. Shinobu spent months lying around in a depressed state and barely contacting anyone until he started working on his new project. That's hardly the behavior of someone who's in a relationship with someone else.

Another thing people tend to overlook is that Shinobu wasn't the only person Sakura betrayed—Chico was betrayed by her as well.

The more I think about it, the more disappointing it feels. If Nagi's role is really useless, then it means we lost about 6 pages in Chapters 132 and 133 that could have been spent on more sex scenes between Shinobu and Fumi, only to use them on a subplot that ultimately didn't add much to the story. :pepehmm:

It's one of the few interesting questions left to answer with the story, and between you and I we can say that it's probably a 99.99% of being addresssed but we can't dispel that .01% or more uncertainty that KA could choose a different option to close out the story.
I actually don't think it's that interesting at all anymore. The reunion would've only been interesting because of how Sakura would react and what consequences she'd face but with two chapters left its highly probable that all we will get out of this is some regret on Sakuras end. For Shinobu, I don't believe that he is incapable of moving on without this reunion and really, it already looks like he is part way there already if not there with his concern for Fumi. So really the big benefactor of this reunion is Sakura but since it's doubtful it will fix her character, it's kinda just ehhhh

The bad thing about shinobu is that he is too good for his own good. And people took it for granted. Though months lying hopeless in that room with chico and ryusei? around, i believe he never told them that sakura had sex with someone else because she saw him being kissed by his actress. He is that desperate to keep sakuras image as good faithful girl to those around him and only said it was my fault.

If only chico knew of what actually happen, things that she would say is going to be like music to readers ears. If them reconcile immediately then it is going to hurt shinobu more with more constant worry. He wouldnt be able to relieve his mind out of the thought what if she cheating on me again. Even if he still love her, he should reject her, that is if sakura ever dare to meet him in person.
Their second run wont be healthy.
Instead of mend of what was once, it is wiser to build a new one.

I realise it is painful to myself to reject sakura immediate reconciliation idea, but shinobu deserves better. Hes no trash that can be dicarded whenever she feel like it. shinobu should man up for his own good.

This is true despite some of the "confirmation" details in Ch.131. With a stretch of the imagination and tolerance for some of the writing inconsistency, the conversation in the car could be written off as blonde over assuming and Sakura in the moment not caring to correct her because things were complicated. As for the 3 panels, chalk it up to Shinobu's imagination.

I will be surprised if KA chooses this though for Sakura's redemption, it'll probably come down to the artist more in being able to convey enough of the emotion if/when they're drawing out the confrontation into moment of truth.
One important thing is that they haven always shown Sakura's 🦊🦊🦊 and the Playboy 🤮 in the same position during sex, which makes me think it was just a one-night stand. When Shinobu had sex with Sakura and Fumi, they showed us different positions. However, if Sakura’s womb was being filled with cum during those months, it doesn’t make sense for her to miss Shinobu or still have feelings for him, since she likely had much more sex and spent more time with the Playboy than with the MC.

I don't agree with Sakura immediately reconciling with Shinobu either. She needs to learn the truth and experience the emotional consequences of it. Otherwise, if she never has to face the consequences of her own actions, the story ends up feeling like nothing more than a cheap NTR plot you'd find in a cheap doujin.

I think the only way something like what you're saying could happen is if Sakura turns down the offer and goes back to Shinobu; if Sakura accepts the offer, I don't think the fuckboi would have a problem with her going back to Shinobu.

Wew we really did basically spend half a month yapping since 134 lol
I don't think we will for 136 chapter 135 should give us a good idea of how this ends if nothing really happens in it then we are heading for an open ending/time skip type of ending if it's a cliffhanger it will be more interesting but could still be a cliffhanger but here is hoping Arir makes it clear as to what happens in the end.

136 will just be one final get together for some "As I expected!"'s and "WTF"s, 135 thread should be more fun with a lot more happening though. Not hard to top having more happen than just 3 conversations back to back to back for setup.

I think the 135 case depends on what happens.If nothing special happen the forum will only talk how bad written this was,if i bad thing happens probably the forum will be mad and say Airi is the worst mangaka of all time and if something good happens people will be suprised.
