Shounen Nisekoi by Naoshi Komi

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

Oh man, totally. It seems to be getting a bit experimental lately too, which is just ace.

It sounds weird but seeing the things he seems to be learning over the course of Nisekoi really make me look forward to whatever he does next. I mean I hope he doesn't stop doing Nisekoi for a good long while, but I want to be able to see what he'll manage with different stories in the decades to come.

Nisekoi Popularity Poll Results





Total votes = 17,759

*1. - Onodera Kosaki (4893)
*2. - Kirisaki Chitoge (4338)
*3. - Tsugumi Seishiro (2892)
*4. - Tachibana Marika (2694)
*5. - Miyamoto Ruri (971)
*6. - Ichijou Raku (660)
*7. - Maiko Shuu (506)
*8. - Claud (253)
*9. - Kyoko-chan (147)
10. - Komi Naoshi (70)
11. - Onodera's Mom
12. - Ryuu
13. - Adacchan
14. - Susuya Tooru
15. - Honda

A single guy sent in 1500 votes just for Marika..... it costs 50yen to send in 1 vote...

Quite surprised that Onodera won the popularity poll. I hope this result would not affect Komi in any way possible in devising the plot. One can notices that the margin between Onodera and Chitoge is pretty close, around 500 votes. While the gap between Tsugumi and Chitoge is approximately 2.000 votes, a huge difference.

and lol'ed at a single guy who sent 1500 votes for Marika.. if his polls were eliminated, I'd say that she's at least only as popular as Ruri.

Guh... Onodera.

I've really come to dislike her. It's been like the only thing about this series I haven't enjoyed. I know that in harem romcoms there is some law that mandates a cute innocent normal girl who is secretly in love with the protagonist but they are always so boring compared to everybody else. Why would anybody vote for her? As a character, she's completely indistinguishable Haruna Sairenji from To Love-Ru and the 6 dozen others just like her.

Chitoge Kirisaki reminds me of Eri Sawachika of School Rumble

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

Hmm..I'm not really fond of her. Her character somehow bores me.

Poor Chitoge.
Makes me wonder where Raku's mom is. Either I forgot or she wasn't mentioned yet.

Maybe she's dead. Well you know... they are Yakuza...

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

Well this arc was pretty special, huh. Had a little bit of cliché in it, but what's Nisekoi if not a series that can make that stuff seem fresh as heck. Beautiful.

Sorry, something caught in my throat. :P

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

To be honest, even though the ending of this arc was very predictable to me, it didn't feel cliche at all, somehow. I even feel happy and probably to some extent moved when Chitoge finally reunited with her mother during Christmas. Lovely.

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

She called him Raku...
Really good arc. It was cliche but didn't feel like it.

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

Yeah the arc conclusion was a bit predictable but not that bad.

Paula reminds me of Shiemi Moriyama of Ao no Exorcist by the way

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

I think that's Naoshi's thing now, to be able to do cliché in a way that doesn't actually feel cliché, through the power of ~*~emotions~*~

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

Caught up with this manga, not the useless harem we have around actually this one is good.
I am really surprised with Onodera being the top at the popularity poll no matter how i look Chitoge is the best one so far.

Yeah, but fortunately the margin is quite close, so I won't say that Chitoge is leave behind by Onodera in terms of popularity. My flimsy logic says that it might has to do that cute-straightforward girls are more alluring to Japanese fans as of late. Or probably not.

my guess is may be a lot of girls are reading this manga. Frankly i am sure(being a guy) that guys would choose Chitoge more than Obodera. But i cant really predict who the girl would like

It's a popular character type, the innocent dark-haired Japanese beauty. Onodera basically ticks a hugely popular box for Japanese audiences. Conversely Chitoge seems to do well in the west because of her more western design sensibilities. and then poor Marika gets no love at all, comparatively, from either side

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

I laughed too hard at this panel, probably more than I should have. XD

 

[Doraku]

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

Oh well, now there is one additional mystery once more. I don't really like the last chapter, since it is pretty much an unnecessary interlude - but Onodera's reaction is priceless.

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

The author is procrastinating too much on revealing what happened ten years a go

Re: Nisekoi by KOMI Naoshi

Well you like it or not, that's how Manga business works most of the time , they're going to add more layers of mystery until the perfect moment appears later on (or the series is on the brink of cancellation)
