Was Miku ready for the kill, but got it stolen by Itsuki, or her face is more like angry/disgusted with Nino?
TBH, the chapter felt out of place. Nino acted like her early version with the outsider crap speech, when it was noted by Yotsuba that she silently started accepting Fuutarou, and doesn't want to throw him out anymore. |

Seriously speaking, man I'm so glad Nino got physically slapped by someone. I still remember when she date-rape drugged Fuutarou, and I haven't quite got over it. Feels extremely cathartic to have Itsuki the one doing it, since together with Nino they were the last ones who didn't really accept Fuu. So in essence, her final 'ally' is no more, and I bet that slap hurt much more than the physical aspect to Nino.

To put it into perspective, Nisekoi ran for 229 chapters and it also had a similar 'deadline' at the end of high school, and I predicted it to end at 250 chapters (here when chp 129 was posted). Sure it's in another publication, but I think it shouldn't stray too much from that ballpark. Maybe I'm even overshooting the estimate because some 'skip to the future/flashback to the past' were full chapters within my initial assessment, and it may actually run as long Nisekoi. XD

There is a fundamental difference:
The 5toubun cast is in their 2nd high school year, while the Nisekoi cast started in their 1st. Nisekoi's pacing was okay, until Komi started their 2nd year in Chapter 75, then the characters pretty much stuck in there until the end, thank to Komi dragging the story to annoying levels. We only saw few panels of their 3rd year/graduation, cause WSJ editors also lost their patience, and the natural conclusion was more due to being axed, then being finishing their high school life. 5toubun should wrap up nicely in 150, maximum 180 chapters. When their final year starts, that should be a good indication on its potential length. |
