With the exception of Ichijo being unconscious, this is basically exactly what I thought would happen. Right down to the eye of the storm poo poo.

also RIP Y-San from chiba prefecture

Y-san from Chiba got some votes too.

EDIT: Yeah, he got 19th place, while the creator Komi was in 20th. Mama Onodera is in 21st.

Heh, 159 people remember Double Arts.



Raku, the protagonist, is so bland and uninteresting that a character from another manga who was never featured in Nisekoi surpassed him in the rankings.

And it doesn't look like he realized this.

It's shrine maiden, not shrine maid!
This is just the tee-up for the "Raku you have to go find her and tell her how you feel!" finale. Maybe or maybe not backed up by finding something out about the locket.

Basically if we're writing characters out of the story they need to be present, and if Onodera's the only one left in arms reach she's next on the chopping block.

Yeah, it's basically going toward the "I never knew how much I needed her until she left" sort of ending. Can't say it's unexpected.

It's a ploy. There are 3 Onodera women, but only 1 of them qualifies for best girl, and that's Nanako / Momdera.

We kind of already did with all the omake chapters featuring Raku and [insert girl here] being happily married in a dream sequence.

Not coincidentally, the only main girl we didn't get one of these for was Chitoge.

In case anyone wants to spoil themselves on a jankity-rear end second-hand translation from the Korean scans.

Odds that Onodera is about to tell Raku to stop being so depressed 'cause she's about to rock his world: 1 in 1,000.
Odds that Onodera is about to indirectly confess by telling him she suspects Chitoge heard her during the meteor shower: 1 in 3.
Odds that there will be blushing and stammering involved in the upcoming conversation no matter what is said: NO BET.

Speaking of, the Korean scans for chapter 215 are floating around now and I spoiled myself on it. For once there's actually kind of a twist:

Except that it's just kind of "meh" right now. It's moving really slowly--probably too slowly and is likely gonna get canned if it doesn't pick up the pace.

Contrast with "The World God Only Knows". By Chapter 18 we had four arcs: Ayumi, Mio, Kanon, Shiori and starting the Kusonoki arc along with random Elsea stuff thrown in.
