I think that kind of cements Nanao's status as a fwb and not a love interest, though the fact that Asumi tries to solve all her problems with sex also means she's prob not gonna be exclusive even if she ends up dating Mai
Nanao got mentioned in this recent chapter. I'm glad Asumi realized this was a bad karma to call on Nanao for the wrong reason, but that relationship is still getting backburnered rather than resolved or explored , and I hope the story doesn't just taper off with the FWB accepting her role on the road to an OTP. She deserves her own storyline.
While I don't think the story sets Nanao to have that ending mentioned above of "Why not join the brothel if you love love so much?", I'd almost rather that for her than Asumi, and I think there's actually story potential in not that but something like that. At one time, i thought Nanao could have had an ending where Asumi was just the start of her sexual journey.
If Nanao had realized (or still could realize?) that Asumi was just one type of many types of love to experience, that she could learn more and give more by getting out there, that the whole world was waiting for her to explore and make time with... that'd not only be my preferred ending for her character, it's be my ideal spinoff. Same morally unfettered relations, same variety of beauty, same puzzle -unlocking storytelling in the sex scenes, but from the perspective of a different type of girl, on the road, finding herself and learning love by doing.
