Guess I’ll throw my hat in the ring that is “final predictions on what’ll happen after the shit show that is 135.”
What I would bet my money on:
- Shinobu ends up alone, Fumi embraces this weird ass jealousy thing and leaves him. But he isn’t too bothered and finds his calling in making girls shine as a director.
- Yuma/FB talks to Sakura after she’s done her sex scene, regurgitates what Kyouka/Blonde said about how to date an actress, promises to face things with her and support her, Sakura remembers something about Shinobu (maybe framed as an comparable panel from an earlier chapter or something) and realizes her reason for acting with be doing her best with Yuma just like she did with Shinobu and Gravure, they kiss and fuck 5 more times to really piss off the audience.
- Shinobu and Sakura never interact again, or will do so at the very end of the manga as a successful director and actress. Either no words and them looking at each other, or maybe a brief introduction where they pretend they haven’t met before. Implication that maybe they’re going to work together professionally. Have Yuma their arm around her waist to also piss adiene off more.
Let me copium
- ShiFumi: Same as above, but Fumi’s thing is only to make him mad. Afterwards, she repeats that she only wants Shinobu to look at her or whatever the line was from the movie. Shinobu realizes what was bugging her, and decides not to keep the pen anymore, symbolically letting go of Sakura for good.
- SakuYuma: Same as above, but instead Sakura realizes Shinobu did a lot for her, breaks up with Yuma. Maybe wants to reconcile with Shinobu, maybe just transfers to Nagi’s agency, who knows and who cares.
- Shinobu and Sakura actually meet again and talk, but nothing is resolved (no truth about the cheating thing, nothing). They reconcile, but don’t get back together.
LOL, LMAO Even
- GraPara 2 announcement, the rage and interest after 129 worked, KA can keep going after a break or something; Nishikada-sensei will continue to draw to collect the check and never personally talk/post about GraPara, will continue playing Guilty Gear/fighting games.
- Epilogue or “find out the real ending in volume 14” to get those hate pre-orders up.
In any event, it’s been a pleasure seeing everyone’s reactions and posts. I’ve never been this emotionally invested (for the wrong reasons) in a manga like this, even if I also joined the bandwagon during 128/129.
Thanks ya’ll, see in a few weeks so this wacky ride can end ( and then maybe a little after when Vol 14 Extras drop).
