Shounen Nisekoi by Naoshi Komi

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

That friend of Ichijou, I forgot his name, what a interesting character. Seriously, I hope Naoshi uses him more frequently

I'm hoping that in the later chapters there will be romance between him and Ruri.

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

I am expecting the appeareance of the 'other guy' to see how it develops: there are two girls with two keys and two promises. Unless Ichijou is uber-retarded and had forgotten some second promise, there have to be a second guy which will stay with the girl that doesn't 'belong' to Ichijou.
Since the series is some popular, I hope Komi have enough time to answer everything and don't cause a mess, 'cause it's introducing even more side stories everyday.

I think Onodera is the one that doesn't "belong" to Ichijou because she said the boy gave her the key and in Ichijou's memory the girl was the one that gave him the locket. Since Ichijou is still head over heels for Onodera and she also loves him, I'm kinda hoping that Kirisaki is the girl from the past to see how Ichijou handles not only being in love with a different girl but also hating the personality of his "promise girl".

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

I'm pretty sure that the end result will be ichijou x kirisaki
anyway, I'm not really happy with seishirou being a girl and with the stories always being centered on the girls, I wish they would
be a wise guy friend there or something and the misunderstandings/near confessions/not knowing that you like him scenes are getting a bit draggy
but it was still really fun to catch up from chapter 10 to 21

@Zeltrax
I like the Seishirou thing because it fooled me completely. I had absolutely no clue she was a girl until it was revealed she was, and it so rare for one of those to fool me. Then when I went back and read there was sooo much foreshadowing in there and I didn't pick up on any of it.

I respect almost any development that pwns me that hard.

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

Maybe because I've been reading it all in a go, but I kindda knew that he was a she, and I thought the hints weren't
that hard to miss at all, say Kirisaki for example, I don't think she would allow a guy to touch her like that even if he's a childhood friend.

What I do not like was the addition of Seishirou falling in love with the main character and then onodera also liking him.
Kirisaki is also gradually falling in love (of course, this is a must.) . It feels too much like a harem..but I'm not seeing it as one, yet.
I hope the author doesn't add anymore girls falling in love with the mc (unless it's to drive the relationship of the current characters further) because that might as well as be padding out the main focus of the storyline.
I'm glad that the author is still following the main story despite having side stories and such tho.
I've also realized that my favorite moments and the funniest ones in the manga have to do with ichijou and kirisaki. In fact most of their scenes together were great.

That is so certain that it might as well be a fact! It doesn't matter how long the main character is in love with a girl, when a new eccentric girl appears he will end up with the new one.

I still like Onodera a bit more because Kirisaki is way too tsun at the moment.

Which chapter was that again? I must have not paid any attention....

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

Chapter 11 page 18
When Ruri was talking about Onodera's key Ruri said that Onodera got it from a person she met 10 years ago.

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

I'm impressed Raku is not a useless twat. The male lead in harem manga are almost always useless, wishy-washy, personality free, pansies. Raku has an actual personality, is an interesting, and has some sense of Raku is interesting and has an actual personality. All of the girls are interesting too, another rarity. Usually at least one girl has all the personality of a potted plant. I do think the arrival of Tsugumi added a lot to the manga. Ever since she was added to the cast it feels like Komi has been more confident broadening the plot a little. Even if typical school life story lines, the love rivalry no longer has to carry the plot alone. I've really enjoyed the last ten or so chapters. Bonus points for the increased fanservice

While not as good as the hot spring chapters (hilarious IMO), I really liked chapter 25. Chitoge was really cute this week, especially when she asked Raku to call her by her first name.

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

In terms of weekly manga atm is one of the most enjoyable reads.

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

Even though I would say the one shot is more interesting, I enjoy this series. Now the problem would be if this manga (as a romance manga) can survive for a long run like Ichigo 100% or To-Love Ru. The good sales of the first tankobon is a great news.

 

[Kaiten]

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

I prefer the serialization. The yakuza - gangster rivalry was a fun gimmick, but I'm glad the serialization has pushed it into the background. The school life and romance story lines are much more interesting, over the long run.

Some more VOMIC information in the latest chapter of Nisekoi.
- Raku will be voiced by Matsuoka Yoshitsugu

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

The only harem I've ever liked was Vandread. But I'm liking this so far, looks really promising.

I agree that the one shot was (way) more interesting, but this turned out really good too. I sincerely hope it´ll run for a long time because it´s really fun and interesting, at least at the moment. At the moment, it ranks pretty highly in WSJ, it´s been in the top 8-9 for more than a month so I doubt that it´s in any danger. Also, it could pull in more girls, especially younger girls, so I think it will run for as long as it´s possible.

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

Just a quick question: where did Raku reveal to someone that he and Chitoge are faking it?? I forgot where.
