Exactly as it seems

by Suxinn

Rating: 7.7 / 10.0

So, I picked up Nisekoi mainly because Komi Naoshi is the mangaka, and his previous works (i.e. Double Arts, Personant, Williams, etc.) have been clever and interesting, with a new, inventive spin on old premises. And, to some degree, the same can be said of Nisekoi.

This manga is basically a bunch of harem tropes and such done completely straight and occasionally lampshaded. The only thing that really differs is that the male protagonist is actually, well, likable. And despite all the cliche moments in which he accidentally does something questionable (such as peeping or whatever), he does ultimately come off as well-meaning and not-an-asshole. Whoo!

However, I would not necessarily recommend this manga, especially to those looking for something more serious. It has nice art and decent characters, sure, but at its roots, it's exactly what it appears to be: a silly, romantic, harem comedy.

edit: OK, now 139 chapters in, and it's still the same old, same old. As others have said, there's really no plot (or romance) progression. More girls just keep getting added, which is frustrating (especially because I just want Raku and Onodera to GET TOGETHER ALREADY since they both still like each other, and have since chapter one). But Raku continues to be an overall nice guy, and it's actually pretty amazing that a harem romance comedy can be this inoffensive in its treatment of the female characters. Doesn't really excuse the lack of development, though, but at least that's an upside.

To each his own

Cliches, cliches everywhere. It is not unforgivable, though, if you see it from a different point of view. The art and drawing style is good, and as for the story: people, this series is not meant as a serious romance/shounen, so if you're reading it as one, you're going to have a bad time. This is a "slice of life, comedic romance", and so far I've enjoyed the gag and comedic elements, and even with the cliches, every once in a while it gets really cute and I was like "awww".

Now for the specific good point: this is the one of the few romance (albeit a comedic one) series where the "childhood friends faction" actually still stand a chance against the "new challenger". Harem series usually feature an oblivious male lead with many women swarming over him, and the male usually have little to none preferences over any one of the girl - this series violates the law to an extent it's interesting to see how far the author is going to develop this situation.

So while it's not perfect, it really is worth reading...if you're reading it as a comedy/romance, of course.

Steady Decline

by wuhugm

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

The oneshot and the beginning of the series held much potential, the yakuza x mafia interaction was so promising that we expected so much

yet, as the series going, it turned into a cliche school-themed romance manga. The underworld theme went to the toilet and it's just cliche after cliche spawning every chapter

but the final blow is the latest chapter (24)

the class did a lottery to create pairs for kimodameshi, a boy and a girl
there are 6 main characters, somehow they paired with each other, all 6, within themselves
btw, the lottery wasn't manipulated in any way
rather than inserting some sick probability here, wasn't it better just to add some random classmates to the pairing? i think the author got hit with a hammer some times ago, that he couldn't think logically anymore

So many cliches

by IMNOTCRAZY
13 years ago

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

This manga is just a mish-mash of romantic comedy manga cliches. Forgotten childhood promise, tomboyish, reluctant tsundere, shy girl with can't-spit-it-out syndrome, a guy with a crush on the shy girl that gradually falls in love with the tsundere as she falls in love with him as well, two rival yakuza families, fake relationship that turns into a real relationship... the list goes on. There's really nothing unique about this manga at all. I'd be surprised if it reaches 50 chapters. It'll get axed by then. There's nothing at all to keep it interesting.

Waiting till the end...

by StargirlTurtle

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

While Nisekoi is far from perfect, it still has its charming moments that keep me from tossing the series away. I admit that I am more tolerable to repetition and slow pacing manga but I do acknowledge that the author has stretched this series out for far too long. I really only kept reading this series because of Ruri and Shuu's relationship and Chitoge and Raku's.

The ONLY reason this series is getting a high ranking is because of the pacing of the recent chapters (last 10 chapters or so). It's actually keeping me on the edge of my seat with the "Promise Girl" mystery finally being addressed and Raku knowing who he really likes. The loose ends are being tied up nicely and I'm anticipating an exciting finale that might redeem this manga in many ways.

Liked them both.

Like many people I really liked the OneShot. It really emphasized the Yakuza/Gangster aspects of the romance. Thats not to say that I dont like the actual series. I do, just not as much. They really toned down the underworld aspect and turning it into a love triangle, then a love quartet. Still, all in all, a pretty good read.

The end of Komi Naoshi?

by Dingoo

Rating: N/A

Disappointing.

The one thing I always liked about Komi Naoshi was that he had this ability to always come up with new and interesting ideas, that may or may not be original to some people, but that always felt fresh nevertheless. This Oneshot on the other hand is just another conventional cliché manga like we got thousands out there. There is not one single interesting Idea in the whole thing.

It seems like after not being able to hold up the initial success of double arts and eventually failing (at least commercially) at pretty much everything he released, his confidence took a serious hit. I’m a little worried that he might have given up on his way of drawing manga and now tries to get back on track by doing conventional stuff.

Nice oneshot

I loved the oneshot but i can't see that becoming a long series if it stay the same way as the oneshot.
War-peace-war-peace-war-peace

Was ok in the oneshot but in a serie after a few chapters it will start to be really boring.
