This is such a good comic. It manages to ramp up the cute people being dumb comedy stuff and the emotional relationship stuff in equal measure. Occasionally I'll feel its gags are getting played out, but then it will up the ante and have me rolling on the floor laughing. And *BIG SPOILER* it continues to pull this off through at least 97 chapters.

Is this not the greatest rom-com ever made? Those rumors, this whole new side to a character we've known since chapter 1 (Sakura-san), the shameless manipulation of one's own newspaper for personal benefit, the principal's god level timing when it comes to adding fuel to the fire, and those feels. Oh god those feels :(

I feel that trying to analyze whether it's "The Best" within its genre is missing the point.

It's just really good. :shobon:

The original was actually Gesu-mine. Gesu means sleazebag.

There are 97 chapters out now, but the next volume comes out in a couple of weeks.

I Failed At Anime 2022
The Korean fan translations have finally caught up and overtaken the English translations, and what I'm surprised more than anything is how often people compare this series to Nisekoi in the comments section.

Namely, Koreans seems to consider Nisekoi to be cancer-inducing. Meanwhile, Truthism is the cure to the cancer that is Nisekoi.

I honestly don't know that much about Nisekoi - I read a few chapters a long time ago before getting tired of it, and now I can't tell the difference between Nisekoi and Nyan Koi besides the fact that one is about gangs and the other is about cats. I was under the impression that the Shaft animation was sorta well-received by goons, though.

Is Nisekoi really that bad?

Nisekoi is very generic with occasional fun reaction faces.

It's just really really generic. Shaft apparently has injected a decent amount of style into their take on it but it's still ultimately a generic romcom that you've likely seen a million versions of already.

I read more for the faces than the storyline. No regrets. :colbert:

e: That being said, I read JwWw for the total package. I could compare with details but that is way more of an effortpost than ill do. I can say that NiseKoi could have did what was done here and quite possibly been fairly good. The characters are okay enough imo. The story with little progression and whiplash back to the status quo is what makes it drag.

The thing you have to understand about Nisekoi is that less has happened in the last 100 chapters of it then the past 5 of Trusthism. Faces are pretty good though.

It's really bad in a very specific way that Truthism is not. Namely, the main character is completely ignorant that any of the girls are actually in love with him and they are completely incapable of just directly confessing their feelings. And it's been stretched out way longer than most romance manga.

Ah, okay. So it's just generic harem story that happens to be the most popular at the moment, which makes it a convenient target for people who dislike the cliches of harem manga.

The main character is aware that the best girl is in love with him and the best girl confessed her feelings for him in the same chapter where she first appeared.

It's managed to hit every single cliche you can think of, and it's still hitting more as time goes on. Can't speak for the anime though other than Shaft does it with their unique style.

If Marika was to die (hopefully not, because not only is she the 'best girl', she's one of the few assets that drat comic has going for itself) before the last arc, I hope it actually affects the group's dynamic in some way. Like, hell, I dunno: It makes Raku realize that all that pussy-footing makes him look even more pathetic than Ted Mosby and he decides to take action. Something. Anything.
