I'm really starting to miss the anime. SHAFT did a drat good job of the voice cast, and they absolutely nailed the Yakuza too.
I'm going to miss Ryuu's "BOCHAAAAN!".

fakeedit: No wonder I liked his VA so much, he voiced Ikkaku from Bleach :allears:

The faces are the best thing about the manga, aside from Marika being a miracle of the universe but Yui is definitely growing on me.
I honestly can't bring myself to hate any of the characters in Nisekoi, which is always a plus. Most series' have at least one character I sincerely wish would get hit by a bus but even Claude manages to be entertaining when he makes an appearance.

ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.

Chapter 126 is out.

Well things happened in a hurry, that's for sure. So Yui is skipping the romcom song and dance and going straight for the kill. Normally this would be a signal of real poo poo going down but this is Nisekoi so there is an equal chance that this arc ends in a whole lot of nothing followed by 10 more chapters of status quo filler.

It means nothing whatsoever. She's going to get treated the same as Marika is.

I just read through all this over the last couple days and I'm not sure why, really. I kind of hate all the cliche anime garbage it throws at me. But the art is nice and I'm rooting for Onodera I guess so ???

edit: I think at least some of it is residual sadness that Double Arts got canned, still.

It's very cliche, but it's light-hearted and entertaining, minus the forced drama that most similar shows have. The fantastic art and reaction images are another reason to keep reading.

I am in the same boat as you, I don't even mind the cliches, it's the sense of "this will never end on a satisfactory note" that looms overhead that bothers me. For some reason, I find this enjoyable. Mostly because I always know what I'm going to get! It's like a palate cleanser between stuff that takes itself 200% seriously.

Also, hey gently caress you for reminding me of Double Arts.

Fuu is the new Shuu and maybe we'll see a mini triangle between those two & Ruri.

A few weeks back, there was an interview with the editor of Nisekoi in the English Shonen Jump, and he said the great thing about Shuu is that they had the freedom to pretty much do anything with his love life. He mentioned that no one-not him, not Komi, not the readers-exactly knows where Shuu's story will go.

That said, I don't think anyone was surprised that Ruri has started to fall for him. poo poo, the eventual hook-up of them is the only reason I still check out this series.

Agreed. Usually the slapstick sidekicks' appearances are gradually reduced as the series go on but we've seen quite a bit of actual character development for both Shuu & Ruri and the great-grandfather chapters provided the first solid foreshadowing besides the other little actions during the series between those two (stalking secret photo taking hobbies :downsrim:). I'm also mainly following the series to see what progress occurs in the minor characters' relationship as well as to see more of the awesome facial expressions that abound.
