The most logical but also the simplest and easiest ending without any surprise would be that thanks to a kou, nene and amane get back together but it's so predictable that that's why I have big doubts.

Guess that Kou x Nene is sinking, then?

No it's quite conceivable, nene still loves amane who loves nene enormously in return, except that nene also loves kou and kou loves I think without knowing it too much nene.
The end could be that nene admits that although she is feelings for love, she finally loves more kou and this beginner in love fell completely in love during their three-way photo meeting...amane accepts and remains friends with nene who has evolved accepts too.
There you go.

my joy" of pito

Why you must make me remeber of that ?

Yeah there we can say that the end is really sad and unfair... not the one we could imagine.

But you can't know that

I do know. Like I said before, this manga is pretty predictable.

Predictable like this one where the whole world thought the nice heroines were going to be together at the end "my pleasure" or "my joy" of pito or stretch https://dynasty-scans.com/series/stretch or were the fans sure that the two of them would stay together?

We're already talking about it in a few chapters at the trio level
If we follow your reasoning the manga is finished in not even 10 chapters....

In the end I am sure that the conclusion of this manga will be to know with whom nene will put himself in a relationship (or not) kou or amane.

You're totally missing the point of the manga. Who Nene ends up with is a secondary concern. The main point is that Nene has a huge complex about her smile (or lack thereof) and hurt Amane badly, and now she has to get over her shit and make amends.

Also, Kou is not even a love interest for Nene anyway. She made it clear she sees both Amane and Nene as friends and wants them to be happy.

If a couple is formed out of this mess, it's gonna be Nene and Amane, since Nene still loves Amane more than anyone, and Amane clearly loves her too. Also, let's face it, Amane is the character who deserves a happy ending more than anyone after all the crap she has gone through despite doing nothing wrong. It would be massively unfair if she gets screwed over more than she already has.

But you can't know that, kou must be totally novice in love, she never had to have a relationship and it's totally focused on the photo and the happiness of others through... it's mandatory that her character will evolve and for the problem of nene it's kou that will maybe solve it not amane or someone else....you have a much too simplistic reading of the story and if I do like you, kou goes out with nene and not amane... if kou was selfish she would easily win the heart of nene who wants to turn the page as well as he can...
If you have read other mangas of this type how can you know that kou will not be more interested in nene? than néné by spending even more time since they will be 3 because kou does everything to not develop even more feelings towards kou? you advance statements much too easily like you advance statements far too easily like "it will happen as it happens because we know it from the beginning" No, not at all I've seen a lot of mangas that don't end the way we think they do at first. That's not true.
Everything is possible and several scenarios with this love triangle that will be there whether you like it or not ^^
The story will not end in 3 chapters, a lot of things will happen because if we follow you it's simple amane asks only one thing and to come back immediately with nene and kou will take some pictures with her full of smiles and they will win the phots contest and everything will be fine...
It's much too simple and I repeat it, the heroine of this manga is kou you must not forget her and she too has the right to love or fall in love or be loved, given her character she has every chance.

Oh but it's not going to be done in 2 chapters this type of development

Give the path we are more on 20 chapters.

Well the story is called "My Unrequited Love". If the love becomes requited, that means it'll be the end soon.

You can still say that Kaoru's love for Reiichi is unrequited.

Good eyesight and that of kuroe's friend towards her teacher.

Oh but it's not going to be done in 2 chapters this type of development, we're going to witness first of all the new life with its sea of uta and to know a little more about it which had as only friend the mother of kaoru... I think besides that this one was maybe in love with the mother of kaoru and that's why she wanted to treat her, and after her death leave the country and divorce... and we have not seen yet the father of uta.
Then a big development on the supposed cheating of reii towards kaoru, how she takes the departure of uta and also a development of risako... Of this development will solve many things especially on uta... I don't think she will seek a love ,she seems to want to focus on her studies to become as quickly as possible independent so she will work very hard...
Then the bow with kuroe, I think everything is going too well, its hiding future problems in my opinion, not to mention the exhibitionist girlfriend of kuroe who also in the game.
All this leaves a good fifteen possible chapters before the final stretch.

Senpai will have none of that.

She loves Amane's crying face. Not her happy face.

Of course she is an artist of the dark lol I am not at all sure that she is interested in a love story but only what artistically on her pictures make things sad...
Kou is the one who is organizing the reconciliation, we must not forget that she could have nene in her pocket instantly but she refuses to do so because she does not want to enjoy happiness alone... She is so pure.
But as she gets along with Amane and Nene, she may feel new feelings through her photos, such as jealousy or envy, despite the fact that her primary goal is to make others happy.
Nene is already very sensitive to this and she has not known herself for a very long time, she is even more likely to appreciate it when she sees her struggling for her happiness...
That's why affirming that the just imaginable choice at the end is amane x nene and nothing else... the only solution would be for kou to sacrifice himself completely but even that nene will notice it I think.

For me senpai is only a simple antagonist of kou, her opposite she takes pictures of sad or desperate people as is a little nene by the way...

There's more to it because she outright manipulated Amane. This sets the stage for Nene to do something about it.

Certainly part of the story will focus between the confrontation of photos but I come back to the real love triangle that will be there between nene, amane and kou

There is no such love triangle. If anything, the Senpai / Amane / Nene triangle till take center stage now.

You want to bet? the story focuses on these 3 characters, the seinpai is only an antagonist of the story, the one who puts batons in the wheels.
The majority of the story will now focus on the tri-part relationship between amane, kou and nene... I remind you that kou always goes out with nene and I don't see how apart from your desire to see amane get back with nene which allows you to affirm that there will be no triangle when everything suggests the opposite especially if you want the story to last many chapters...
The senpai will not be seen much compared to the others... we will probably know its history and its reason for doing so.

In the end I am sure that the conclusion of this manga will be to know with whom nene will put himself in a relationship (or not) kou or amane.

We’ve been saying “Kaoru needs to do something” from the beginning of the series—confront Reiichi about his apparent cheating, acknowledge Uta’s feelings, etc. It’s hard to see anything significant happening in the series if she doesn’t do something.

So far, though she hasn’t done much except accidentally slip down the stairs and also wish, uselessly, that everything could go back to being the way it was.

So yes, narrative logic tells us that eventually Kaoru will need to do something, or else the story will continue to spin its wheels until the heat death of the universe.

But then, narrative logic tells us that Kaoru already should have done things and she hasn’t done them, or only done them in a half-assed way.

Still, Godot said he’d be here, so . . . we wait.

I think that kaoru will still remain a weak and kind character while uta is asserting himself more and more compared to his brother.
I have trouble seeing Kaoru looking for uta even if she wants it very much.
No the story will be clarified because uta part she will not be able to avoid the confrontation with reii because she will not want to relive the same scenario of hidden history with uta. she suspects something with her husband, and being alone she will think even more about it especially when he leaves for work ^^^.
And that's when it'll be interesting what it's reii who's going to confess everything with rikaso to kaoru? kaoru who talks with rikaso to know? kaoru who asks a reii?
I don't see it remaining at the status quo, otherwise as you say, history will not move forward.

And of all her great possibilities is that reii will leave home, that kaoru will find herself alone but at the same time a little relieved, but will take remorse because she rejected the person who loved her deeply while her husband cheated on her. She needs love and a person to take care of her and she only sees uta for this role and begs her to come back to live with her...
Of course this is only pure speculation ^^

And you think that thanks to psycholgic therapy will come back and look in the eye as if nothing was with amane?

The key to resolve this whole drama is Senpai. What do you think is gonna happen when Nene finds out Senpai has been taking advantage of Amane's pain? Nene is gonna feel like shit and try to help Amane somehow, and that's how the relationship is gonna start to repair itself.

For me senpai is only a simple antagonist of kou, her opposite she takes pictures of sad or desperate people as is a little nene by the way...
Certainly part of the story will focus between the confrontation of photos but I come back to the real love triangle that will be there between nene, amane and kou because kou says it a nene that they will all take pictures together

It is completely predictable that each other's feelings will mix...

You may be surprised

Not a chance. The manga has been pretty predictable to me so far. I even figured out that Nene's whole reason for being a bitch to Amane was simply that she was envious of her cute smile like a month ago. It's pretty obvious where the story is going now.

And you think that thanks to psycholgic therapy will come back and look in the eye as if nothing was with amane? Seriously not their relationship took a very big hit and no one recovers from his normal.
But we are in a fiction it is possible that nene and amane become a couple again.

But from my experience on this type of story where there is a lot of drama, reversals of situation are mandatory.

This manga is not a comic manga like others or everything is almost written in advance.

I have a lot of examples of manga where the end does not end as the readers had imagined and besides it made them angry....

Like "my joy" de pito or stretch all completed and difficult to predict the end of the unrequited love too....

Personally, this is the basis on which history can develop:
-nene loves amane
-nene loves kou
-kou considers amane an important friend
-kou is in relationship with nene but she wants to know what she definitely feels.
-senpai likes to see sad love to make beautiful pictures ^^ but maybe she wants her love or maybe like a maso looking to have other pictures of the same type with nene or both... it's her next development that will be interesting

(That's exactly what the story is about. And it's not gonna be simple with Senpai wanting to keep Amane heart-broken so she can keep taking pictures of suffering Amane. Getting Nene and Amane together is gonna take some serious effort. )
You may be surprised, a manga is full of twists and turns and the feelings of the different characters evolve with it.

A smile on a picture is a smile like a distant memory. You rely too much on the pictures, already nene lets go more easily because it's kou behind the camera, she feels comfortable with it.
She is also touched by her kindness, her joy of life and also the fact that kou loves to smile at her. Kou makes her live again and it is a feeling that nene does not force absolutely when she is with kou.
The development of the story will not be just "kou repairs the love situation between nene and amane", not so simple.
Nene wants the situation to be resolved with amane but not to the point of returning as it was at the beginning.
Amane herself noticed the attraction and the exchanges of glance between kou and nene, we are only at the beginning of the relationship but considering the kawai character of kou not sure that nene does not prefer this one at the end.

For me it won't go as far as suicide, it's much too dark and the mangaka won't go as far as that.
On the other hand kaoru will feel lonely, think about uta every day especially when her husband is going to be absent for work..... this will inevitably add to the cheating of reii that will inevitably be developed...
Now that uta has left him and his possible mistress may not want to wait any longer.
I strongly believe that reii as a brother did not want to leave kaoru to keep a family home for his sister....risako and he may have wanted to wait for uta to become an adult before making official.
It is therefore possible that kaoru may find herself alone and completely isolated from what she hates and knowing that uta decides to join her. kaoru necessarily becoming more open to another type of relationship with uta, out of spite, to reassure herself, by cheating or by love.

^ The pages you posted actually support my point. Nene barely smiles for Kou. There's no love there no matter what she says. In this manga the characters' true feelings are revealed through the pictures and Nene's feelings are pretty clear.

She definetly did

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/luminousblue_ch04#9
https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/luminousblue_ch04#10
https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/luminousblue_ch04#23

She really loves her but unlike amane it's recent and without any trace of regret.
It is and will be much more complex there will be a real love triangle and it is not at all sure that it will end so simply in a nene x amane reunion...
Kou will also have feelings at some point, she wants her friends to become friends again but after that.....
