The author is pretty much a master of teasing plot development ("I love you." *chapter break* "ZZZZZ OH WHAT I WAS ASLEEP") so I kind of doubt it.

I was tempted to mention that face when I read the raw, but I didn't want to spoil the glory for anyone else. :allears:

Man Raku had a lot of childhood girlfriends.

New OP's alright, but :wtc: at the spiderweb imagery at the end. Are you trying to imply something, Shaft?

EDIT: Gonna take a wild guess here and say that Tsugumi's the staff favorite.

Marika first shows up in chapter 33. And no, you haven't missed a thing, Nisekoi has great faces and some amazing characters but it's still a generic romcom.

Incidentally, to put things in perspective we're 3/5ths of the way done with the anime and only at chapter 37. I'm betting the series will end at chapter 50, the play.

Marika is in that awkward position of being the obvious comedy role but still being the best character.

You'd have to try really hard to go overboard with Marika.

Shaft animated it, so it's pretty. It's a faithful adaption otherwise, so if you like the manga enough to want to watch it animated then sure why not.

Okay so we've got the shy girl, the tsundere, the easily embarrassed girl, the (awesome) comedy option, the underclassman, and now the not blood related "sister". Has Nisekoi hit the full spectrum of romantic archetypes yet?

I'm going to take a wild guess here and say no.

Nisekoi's really generic, dunno who told you otherwise. As far as the harem genre goes it's up there, and it's at least pretty consistently amusing to read, but it's nothing special.

BlitzBlast

Honestly quality-wise Nisekoi's pretty good. It's consistently a nice/amusing read (I think the only outright bad bit was the amnesia arc), and it occasionally hits it out of the park (theatre, Chitoge's mom, Raku-sama, Ruru's great-grandfaster). It's still not anything special, but there have been far worse harem comedies.

Huh, didn't expect to see Onodera's secret place again. That's actually kind of neat.

Also yes, Ruri is amazing.

Nisekoi is pretty much the author checking through a list of harem comedy cliches with a side of funny faces. It's not pretending to be anything else either so hey, I'll take it.

I think he wanted Dragon Ball to end after Vegeta and Nappa were beaten on Earth, from memory. Krursk knows the full story if you ever spot him around the forums.

"Toriyama wanted to end DBZ at X point" is quite possibly the most hilarious lie the DBZ fanbase won't let die.

I like how while Kosaki is constantly telling herself this time I'm going to confess, Haru's always going this time I'm going to turn him down. Neat bit of parallelism.

She's basically Chitoge and Onodera combined, with Marika's obsessiveness. Now all she needs is to turn out to be super strong and she'll literally be all the girls at once.

Which of course means she'll be friend zoned five times as hard.
