Your going to half to now I'm sure he ends alone and fairly sure she ends with fuckboi. They will likely never meet again.
I still have 2 weeks, there will be drama but nothing else is guaranteed, not fucboi staying with Sakura or MC's never meeting imo. Who knows, maybe ShiFumi makes a full recovery and more, or Airi plot conveniently forces a ShiKura meeting.

Because it makes ever single moment between shinobu and Sakura ilrelivent after the fact then there is the fact you have to turn off both characters brains to make it work as well as bring sakura's character so far down it begs belief that she ever loved shinobu in the first place it was poorly paced instead of showing us Sakura slowly moving away from shionbu because he isn't taking care in their relationship it was portrayed as a misunderstanding that caused her to immediately run into another guys dick fuck him all night breakup over text move in with the guy and change agency's overnight over nothing when she herself did far worse ironically with no repercussions at all it was generic boring and forced plot convince.
I've seen plenty of characters who are far worse than Sakura. The main reason Sakura has fallen so far in my eyes—and why Fumi is starting to as well—isn't simply because of what they've done. It's because of Katsura Airi's writing, which I think is worse than an elementary school student's essay, and because of the way she treats and views her own characters.

I think the meeting will happen, how? I have no idea, but I think it's impossible for the last interaction between the two mcs to be a 5-word message.

I feel the same but man, we didn't even get that for a cliffhanger, just Fumi off-scripting bait (potentially). It can still be a powerful moment atp, unsure how much it'll change but now that you mention it, having their final interaction be that message is just really sad to think about.

It's really dumb many people think it's her fetish it's not even that it's just a simple minded world view on relationships how they work and what someone should get out of one.

I wish that were the case too, but I just can't bring myself to trust Airi or Kodansha anymore. At this point, I don't even want to make any more predictions.
There shouldn’t be any room for speculation at this point. The final chapter should be the cherry on top of the cake. All the plot threads should already be resolved, allowing the reader to step back and see the story as a whole.

The thing is, I'm not sure if there's any manga where the last interaction between the two mcs is a message or a final interaction as bad as that one. I think it would be the first time I've seen something like that. I have no idea how they're going to meet again (if they ever do).

Well there's a chance they don't we have to admit. That will also make it a story that isn't out there, for the worse if you ask me, but it still tracks with the answers from that KA intervew and some of the twitter ramblings back then.

The thing that piss me off the most here isn't what fumi is doing it's that Airir is recycling the sakura netorare plot due to a lack of communication between fumi and shionbu fumi won't ask shinobu about the elephant in the room and shionbu isn't picking up on it again it's the same fucking plot points again for the final chapters! So fuckin stupid. The set up for this starts at chapter 131 that's 5 chapters almost 3 quarters of the volume to recycle a plot that was just done.

There could be a twist following the cliffhanger, whether it will help ShiFumi or doom it, I have no idea.

Now that I've calmed down and my heart isn't racing anymore, it's time to be an adult about this.
The possibility of a garbage ending is very high in this one. That said, this could easily be another rug pull to get everyone hyper-focused on what might happen in the final chapter—which feels highly likely.
Will they drop the ball on the final chapter? Based on how the last few have gone, I wouldn't be surprised at all. The chances of getting a good ending are slim, and even if something good does happen, it's going to be messy and not quite satisfying.

and that showed airi capacity as an author. she can never write something memorable without using cheap and repetitive shock factor.

Jokes on me then because any variation of a ShiKura ending would be satisfying.

Bringing readers back to the same feelings they had during Chapter 129—widely seen as the lowest point of the series—when there's only one chapter left isn't something I consider engaging. I think most readers are more likely to stop caring instead, especially after they already gave the series another chance from Chapter 130 onward.

I think the ending is definitely going to be bad, there’s no setup for Shikura, Shifumi is falling apart, so what’s left for us? Shinobu as a successful director but with two ntr? A bittersweet ending, I think it’s impossible for there to be a good ending.
