Oh, come on! Was it lovely parents month over at WSJ or what?

Nisekoi isn't WSJ, is it? If so I never knew. Also if so, was there more than Tachibana and Nakiri?

Also Raku was hit with a two pronged attack: why should you care and why should I care?.

Well the point is more "what did Raku even come here to do?". Was he planning on appealing to pathos or something?

Sorta, more probably a "What is actually best for Marika?" argument.

To get hit with what he did would shock anyone.

MonsieurChoc posted:

If Marika had stopped being a crazy stalker of a guy who clearly didn't love her back, she might have been able to find someone she liked instead.

Um, weren't the conditions quite clearly Raku Ichijou or bust? If so, the stalker behavior is downright justifiable. I don't remember choosing another guy being an option on the table.

And of course we have "Character learns conflict changing secret on camera but fun if the Audience is allowed to know!" because that's not how we get our stupid twist just as the MC does something that even comes close to "Doing anything".

See a better manga would have had him busting the doors down with the entire Shuei-Gum at his back there and it'd be like Strong World but such a scene is for a world where Double Arts didn't get cancelled, I guess.

There was no other way this was going to end, because Marika is a terrible person (being funny doesn't change the fact that she was a super creepy stalker).

she's cool because she accepts and acts on her feelings instead of being a tsundere or a doormat.

Other potential love interests are, as partially noted above, a doormat who just can't get her feelings out, a tsundere who can't figure out what her feelings are, another, better armed tsundere who is even more confused by them and is probably the next checkbox to be ticked off, and the protagonist's older childhood friend who briefly entered to show all the other characters that it's time to grow up.

Marika is the best option. Her feelings are pure, honest, and direct. She's a shonen sports protagonist in a shonen harem manga :japan:

And it would have been great to see a genre subversion and watch the moral be "Tell people how you feel, don't sit on your hands and waffle for years, you idiots", not that this would ever actually happen.

"Beep Boop What is love" is always a winning play in Romcom manga, it is known.

The only time the openly-in-love girl works out is if the MC is totally retarded about it, so either way, robots. Robots all the way down.

Well if it helps at least Marika's exit got more of an arc than anyone else who isn't in the final pair is likely to get.

Next to go down will be Tsugumi.

Then it'll be a long arc with Kosaki vs Chitoge which will end with Raku finally choosing Minidera.
