More like it got cancelled than axed. Which is a difference. It didn't get dropped due to people hating it or a lack of popularity, it didn't get transferred to the new magazine because there wasn't enough space and they were counting on stronger sales series/longer running ones/large start ones or whatnot. After all, even though it's not getting moved over it's the only one of the couple that weren't to get a final chapter to allow the author to tie it all up.
That said, the friend is very perceptive about what's happening as she knows Shinohara just does whatever she wants without thinking about the consequences for others. And not in a bad way, but moreso in a careless way because she probably doesn't understand why he would ever be shy in the first place since she's not shy. It's not selfish it's more like...self-concerned or self-absorbed. She can't really think like other people.
Ogura meanwhile tho is a trash-bag.
