Nisekoi's the first manga which I read the
moment it was serialized. I can't believe that it has been more than a year
since it happened. But what I'm more surprised is to actually see a news like
this.
Honestly speaking
when Nisekoi was first released, I doubt
that it would last a year due to its shounen rom-com nature. I haven't really
read so much manga but I personally think that most rom-com-harem anime come
from light novels. But either way, Nisekoi
definitely showed some promise right from its first chapter.
To give a quick
overview of Nisekoi, it basically
revolves around a promise made by two children ten years ago. Raku Ichijou has
a locket and the girl he made a promise to ten years ago has the key. Sadly, he
doesn't know if this girl still actually cares about this promise. It's
something so childish anyway. To top that, he gets kneed by this new blonde
student from America. Next thing he knows he, Raku Ichijou, the son of the head
of the Yakuza Shuei-Gumi, is forced into a relationship with this blonde
-super-strong-transfer-student from America namely Kirisaki Chitoge who
apparently is the daughter of their rival gang's boss.
As someone who was
reading the manga, I'd say that I like Nisekoi's
style of comedy. Raku's typical comedy punch lines and Chitoge's tsundere
character nature were really done nicely. The harem in this series is nicely
done (or maybe I was being a bit bias since I like this series) and Raku's
character as a leading guy is typically likeable. He's naturally nice to all
the girls around him. He has a stupidly fun best friend. He has a girl that he
likes - Kosaki Onodera. And just like every harem lead out there, he's super
dense.
With less than 80
chapters out, I'm pretty surprised to see Nisekoi
immediately get an anime adaptation. Maybe a 1 or 2 cour would be enough for
the series together with an anime original ending. But it would also work out
if they'd hang the ending out to see the manga until the end and make a more
satisfying ending. As of now, I'm looking forward to see the cast, staff and
anime production company who'll work on the series :3
~and now, I feel
like going back on reading this manga :3 and I'm also thinking of continuing my weekly post on this...
