Nisekoi Chapter 229 Discussion

What I learned from this story:
- Never do as you promised.
- Loving a girl who always hits you isn't an act of a masochist. And is morraly fair.
- Reject every person who confess to you and expect not being rejected when you confess to someone else.
- Once you're sure the girl you've targeted for a long time loves you, move to another one.

Well, we don't learn all those lessons everytime.

So true. I'll add five more:

- Let you parents choose - they know exactly who is the love of your life.
- Choose your friends wisely, they'll tell you that you are loving someone even if you don't know it yourself just yet.
- Never even kiss a girl for 3 years, see each other only few times during this time and then ask her for marriage right away - she agrees unconditionally.
- The moment when your long-time crush confesses to you, you can know for sure you don't love her anymore. Don't worry if you still love her the world denies her confession instead.
- Be very, very dense. Your denseness is actually beneficial to your relationships.

Turned out exactly like I expected. It is just like all the other shounen, harem & romance manga out there.

5/10 if this sort of story and development wasn't the norm I would give it a 4-5.

Disappointing ending as I expected. Komi didn't even bother to show Kosaki's full face and no real thought was put into Chitoge x Raku time apart, it's like they didn't developed at all. Raku ended as head of yakuza even though he wanted to be civil servant. Prearanged marriage theme won.

Shuu x Ruri literally got the better and the best end.

8/10 for first 50 great chapters
7/10 for next 51-100 second year chapters
6/10 for 101-150 for fillerish chapters
5/10 for 151-200+ rejection chapters
3-4/10 for the end (with few specific chapters being even lower).

All-in-all this series had great start but Komi totally blow its end as the last year worth of reading was really suffering of horrible plot devices, bad drama, disappointing developements, cheesy phrases and unsatisying conclusions. The end literally destroyed everything good that happened before.

5/10 as a whole.

Criticising the series right now feels like beating a dead horse honestly, and it has nothing to do with whom Raku ended with (even though I must say that the "moral choices / lessons" mentioned earlier are valid complaints).
I'm more sad about the fact that Nisekoi seemed to have lost any kind of "subverted elements" for like a 100 chapters or so (I'm not even sure at this point tbh). I mean, the series was (obviously) never a masterpiece: for example, the romance part was always badly written, and let's not talk about the one-dimensional characters, shall we? However, at least, Nisekoi knew how to make fun of its own tropes and clichés in its beginning, thus resulting in funny situations. It was nothing new under the sun, I agree (there are far better series on the subject), but it was "functional" for the most part.
Yet, at one point, Naoshi Komi decided to throw all of that out of the window for no apparent reasons: like, what happened about the parodical aspects of its narrative? Nisekoi's premise was a twist on Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet" (without understanding what made the story so great in the first place of course, but I digress), and Komi seems to have completely forgotten about that. It's a real shame, since such an intertextuality could have made the ending way more effective imo.

Tbh,nisekoi has to be one of the most overrated manga of current generation and even author admitted himself that it sucks ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) and about the ending,it got the worst possible ending as well,it's not like that i was biased towards any particular shipping but things doesn't seem to be progress anyway after spending so much chapters,utter waste of time and hope it doesn't get any anime adaptation.

4/10.

This story lacks common sense ! He loved Onodera and she loved him 10 years ago, they confessed, they made a promise that they'll marry each other once they're reunited. He gave her the true key. They wrote letters for their future ones on it. They engraved Raku x Kosaki on that fucking rock.

Well boys, that's it. That's all folks. Nisekoi has finally come to an end. It's wierd, because I expected to be angry or sad or disappointed. At first I was all of those things, but now that I stand back and look at my experience as a whole, I can say one thing for sure. I'm glad I read Nisekoi to the very end. It wasn't the best manga ever for sure, but it was enjoyable. I went through a whole range of emotions when reading Nisekoi, which only happens when I care about a work. I was angry when I realised Onodera would never win. I laughed my ass off at Shuu on multiple occasions. I almost cried when Ruri's Grandad died. I was happy when Onodera finally confessed. And above all else, I felt a sense of acceptance. That yes, Onodera won't win. It was hard for me, because it seemed perfect. They've always liked each other. But in the end, things don't always go our way. To all the Chitoge fans, as much as I may think you are all delusional twats, congratulations. Enjoy that feeling I never got to feel. Alas, my time enjoying Nisekoi has ended. To the Mangaka, Komi, I would like to say thanks bro. Your manga was stupid and annoying, but I liked it. To all my brothers in Team Onodera, I implore you to stand with pride. We stuck it out to the end, and for that be proud of yourselves. Stand wth me one last time. Let us collectively shed a tear of sadness and a tear of happiness. My brothers, I salute you all. It is the end of our journey. This is Eogo signing out. Onodera forever.
