Huh, America...Chitoge wasn't kidding about leaving. Those work clothes though <3

Yeah, I'm really curious to see what she has to say to Raku and Onodera now that they are also there LOL. That didn't take long.

i took this from reddit :)

Translate best parts
After meeting me, the last thing was her messaging tsugumi 'I'm tired, so I'm sleeping. Don't wake me up'. So it seems like I was the last person to meet her directly.
What did you talk about
Hmmmm. But I really think we didn't talk about anything important...
Ah. Now I think about it, she was talking about you a lot onodera
Me?
Yea. I don't know why but she suddenly asked me how I think about you and so on.
Saying you were a great person
That kid really liked you onodera~ She was just praising you the whole time. Saying a great girl like you isn't common and that she won't forgive me if I made you cry...
Chitoge-chan said that...
Won't forgive if he made me cry??
Why did chitoge-chan say something like that..
(Flashback) Huh? What you said?
Well... I was scared by the thunder so I wasn't in the right mind to do anything
You said something?
NOPENOPENOPE
That stupid beansprout!!
He called me his 'best friend'
No matter how I think about it I think I'm not considered as a girl to him
Darling!
Yea
(end fb)
No way...
Chitoge-chan..
The person...
Chitoge-chan likes is...
So did she hear me back then?
That means... The reason she disappeared is...
*phone vibrating
It's mine... Is it shuu...
FROM CHITOGE'S FATHER?? --- by sickboyrawrs

The Dense One and Oh-No-Dera were skipping school when they got a call from the Beehive Boss.
He informed them that the Gorilla Girl is working at Madam Flower's place in America, and the two visited the place.
As Raku and Chitoge are talking to the receptionist, Chitoge, who was working, was surprised to see them there.

So it's still setting up the endgame. I gotta say, for Onodera to put the pieces together and figure out that Chitoge likes Raku, this must speak wonders of him...

Anyway, I am curious as to where this will go. I'm curious to see where this will go and how will Komi will settle this. Hopefully that whatever happens, it will at least be believable.

I believe, in reality, cliches will be boring and it does not end that way. But I have to say this manga from the very begining is all about chitoge and raku. I adore Onodera a lot! But chitoge man, that is a heart of a maiden. Onodera had to depend on Haru, Ruri and her mom. She is too weak. She is the ideal girl but nahh, she worked the least, she is more like ohh we should get together! Yeah love her for that but if between onodera and tachibana, tachibana scores more. Chitoge balanced them out.

Ever since the mangaka was probably warned to get his shit together and stop making 252634534 centuries to move the plot, everyone realises stuff soooooo fast! I'd never expect Onodera to make the connection that fast! I'm almost overwhelmed!

I think most of us already had guessed Chitoge went to America as it was the only logical choice, but why did only Raku and Onodera go there? :| If anything, Tsugumi should have appeared first. Whatever the cliche, the last thing I'd want is to see both of them in front of me, alone too! I am not sure how much I'll like the next chapter, depends on how dense Raku and how goody 2 shoes Onodera will be.

#teamChitoge ftw!

PS: The moment when Raku was sad that Onodera wanted to talk about Chitoge... Effing douche. Expecting a confession when you are supposedly mopping around :|

She's out. since day 1. come on..
Read the manga again, and you'll realize.

and chitoge is moving on her own, because that move is a necessity for raku to chase after her.

I wish I could see Raku getting off the phone with Chitoges dad right there.

"Onodera...we're going to New York."
"Let's fly Ichijou-kun"

I hate you Komi. I already hated Chitoge as well but her just leaving and going to America and not even saying goodbye to her friends makes her worse in my eyes.

And anyone who thinks Kosaki has a chance get your heads checked, Chitoge is going to end up with Raku.

Although they're both better off with someone else, Raku seriously just gives me a headache all the time.

cause of course, onodera will confess, and not raku. he's in love with both of them after all, and he can't confess to both of them.

dot get your hopes up, with a series as generic and trope filled as this you can pretty blatantly tell what they are going for here, the whole self sacrifice in a relationship thing is something done to death by characters who wind up winning as a result and usually ends with the competing girl being the one to push for the relationship.

WOW OKAY! I like how everyone is like "OH! Author ignoring reality" I'm just sitting here like -_-, Yui has her own freakin helicopter, you really think they needed to fly commercially.
Didn't know how to feel about this chapter though, at one point I felt like it was just normal, sad, then normal again.
Second of all, I didn't think Onodera would confess, and she didn't, no surprise there.
AND FINALLY!
@Chibii ONODERA FINALLY REALIZES CHITOGE LIKES RAKU! AND WHAT! Nisekoi ends in three chapters supposedly? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I knew it was goanna end but this soon? Komi better not pull the same thing that the author of "A Silent Voice" pulled. Where the last two chapters are literally just images with almost no plot moving.
Man, this sucks, I'm about to complete "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, TOO!" So now I will finish two stories in three weeks, ;( NO FAIR!

Anywho, theory for next chapter, since my theory for this one wasn't too far off.

TWO POSSIBLE OUTCOMES I SEE IN THE NOT SO FAR FUTURE.
- Raku gets in on the secret, that the girls like him, (so late to the party).
- Raku will then decide a girl (Chitoge).
- Happily ever after, or it'll be open ending.
- Onodera never tells Raku she likes him, and tells chitoge to keep it a secret knowing Raku likes Chitoge.
- Raku and Chitoge get together
- Happily ever after, or open ending

Either way I think it will end with Chitoge somehow being confirmed as the promise girl, from Raku's memories.

Jeah I agree, its scaring me how fast this is going..
The only thing I can hope for is that Chitoges mom comes and tells about the book (because she knows whats up, she probably saved the last pages for Chitoge filed away some where):P Chitoge is the promise girl and that makes Raku choose her..

Have to say that Chitoge was really hot in her working dress. Also, her ending face was just marvellous :D

Ok, but now even Onodera knows. Still, I can't accept the fact that it was Chitoge who was forcing this situation on both of them. By her escape to US she literally made him favor one girl more and made other girl regret her feelings. It's really no so different from little child's screaming to draw an attention and achieve a certain goal - and thus I don't think this was fair at all. Even if she thinks she did that out of her own consideration. Most of the time people are selfishly running away precisely because they want an easy way out. But by doing so they are also forcing some sort of guilt on others and she really didn't consider those feelings her escape would create. It felt forced from reader's perspective to put herself into no.1 spot and that's why I already called this cliche way of writing the last time. If Onodera was the one to disappear no doubt the same search would happen and situation would reverse as Raku likes them both. The thing is, Kosaki would never do such thing.

At this point it's really clear that the promised girl is probably Onodera as that would only add to Chitoge's much needed suffering-resolution situation. It really, really disappoints me how obvious girl is gonna win in the end as Nisekoi strived to be different in its first 50 or so chapters and that's precisely why I started reading it. But now it seems the opposite is true :/ What's the point of addding bunch of his love interests when in the end they didn't even got a chance to create some interesting quarrels and disagreements between main cast out of their "selfish love". What's the point of all this if the girl who treated Raku the worst all the time most likely wins?

Remember we are talking about true love here. Remember Christmas chapters, onsen work-trip and Onodera's middle school backstory. It really pains me that this series denies something as pure love in favor of agressive moody relationship with a foreign girl that kinda developed herself a Stockholm syndrome. Does that mean that ordinary and caring girls doesn't stand a chance? How bad is implication like that?

This Post pretty much describes how I feel about the ending, I personally found myself unable to stand chitoge after chapter 50 tbh. These chapters, especially the way she's been acting hasn't helped at all.

now now people we cant blame Chitoge for leaving
and that maybe Raku gonna choose her because of it..

she said it herself, she couldnt stay, it was to hard for her, how would you feel in the same position?
jeah Onodera would probably not do it that way, but where would she have gone anyways?xD They have different personalities, thats how it is and thats what make it fuuuun to read...
The only reason Chitoge stayed in Japan was because of Raku, so there was no reason for her to stay..

The anime and manga, from the start has always been about the development in chitoge and raku's relationship. Honestly, I'm all for team chitoge. I believe that during that time that she left raku might have realized that chitoge is the one he truly and sincerely loves.
Raku and onodera might have been "in love" with each other in the beginning, but if you look at it closely, they're relationship soon starts to die down once chitoge and raku are forced to be fake lovers. Although in the beginning in was fake, they gradually start to fall for each other. The feelings between them are sincere. They fight and make up like a real couple, they support each other when in need, so where's onodera in all of this ? I have nothing against her, I praise her, she is so adorable and clumsy but the evidence of their love being "true love" is so weak.
Therefore , the only ending I see is onodera raku and chitoge being together as the outcome. But that's just my opinion.

Also reminder that so far, this is Komi's recipe:
- Arc about Yui: got her out of Rakubowl
- Arc about Marika: got her out of Rakubowl
- Arc about Tsugumi: got her out of Rakubowl
- Arc about Haru: got her out of Rakubowl
- Arc about Chitoge: ??????

Poetry, gentlemen.


I think you missed an arc in between Marika and Tsugumi...pretty sure that one didn't knock her out of the Rakubowl ;)

To continue, other fans of nisekoi:false love may establish the thought of chitoge and raku's relationship as "forced" but in reality it's been about raku and chitoges relationship from the beginning. All evidence points to chitoge. If we travel back to chapter 199 of the manga, he clearly states that he has never felt that way (hard heartbeat or the pleasantness) when with the other promised girls. It's clear to me that his big dilemma was the fact that he was hiding the way he felt about chitoge this whooooooleee time. He kept denying his true feelings and im not saying that his feelings for onodera weren't real, it's just that...
What do they really know about each other on a personal level? What have they done for each other to make them realize they like each other ? To me, it sounds like their love was only about what's on the surface and little emotions they've shown to each other. Chitoge and raku's relationship is completely different. you have to reread and collect info from their past. (The book, the ribbon, the key and they key exchange between chitoge and onodera) <- ( if onoderas key opens the locket, we know that chitoges the one he made the promise to ) This makes me believe that chitoge is the promised one. Little by little raku fell in love with her. And vice Versa.
What I don't understand is why onodera shows up to find chitoge at the end of the chapter ? it was just kind of shock.

At this point it's really clear that the promised girl is probably Onodera as that would only add to Chitoge's much needed suffering-resolution situation. It really, really disappoints me how obvious girl is gonna win in the end as Nisekoi strived to be different in its first 50 or so chapters and that's precisely why I started reading it. But now it seems the opposite is true :/ What's the point of addding bunch of his love interests when in the end they didn't even got a chance to create some interesting quarrels and disagreements between main cast out of their "selfish love".


I'm not a frequent poster here, but your post came my way, and I thought I'd respond to it. Apologies if this seems sudden.

Honestly, in regards to the locket, I agree that the most likely scenario is that Onodera will be the promised girl...though I've never really felt that plotline was the most crucial part of the story. The title of the series, the premise of the one-shot, and the entire set up for the manga really revolves around the Shuei-Gumi/Beehive conflict, and reverse Romeo/Juliet story that involves the main pair. I do think the locket will be resolved, but I've always held that the conflict between the two gangs will take center stage during the climax of the series. I suppose we'll find out soon though.

I think you make a fair point about the love interests that don't really go anywhere, though that's honestly part of why I enjoyed the series as much as I have. I'm not interested in constant harem teases...I much prefer one solid love story, which the series has really excelled at in regards to the main couple.

Also...I can't help but be a bit surprised that you felt it was really so different in the first 50 chapters. I mean, I do love the series...but I've always felt the ending was rather obvious. Probably as far back as when the blonde tsundere with a piece of toast in her mouth landed on top of the MC in the first chapter. Or maybe even further back..if you read the one-shot, in which Chitoge was the only female character to even appear.

What's the point of all this if the girl who treated Raku the worst all the time most likely wins?

Remember we are talking about true love here. Remember Christmas chapters, onsen work-trip and Onodera's middle school backstory. It really pains me that this series denies something as pure love in favor of aggressive moody relationship with a foreign girl that kinda developed herself a Stockholm syndrome. Does that mean that ordinary and caring girls doesn't stand a chance? How bad is implication like that?


This...more than anything else, I have to contend with.

Treating him the "worst" is definitely subjective, and based on your own vicariousness. In fact, a lot of this post gives that impression. Stockholm syndrome? Wh-what?

Naoshi Komi has stated in interviews that he wrote this series with the theme "opposites attract" in mind. That's really what the story is about...two very different people who quarrel and bicker finding out how much common ground they have, and eventually falling in love. You might not like the theme, you might not like tsundere romances in general, but that's really what the story is about. There's no bad implication for developing a relationship like Raku and Chitoge's. In fact, a lot of us find it more appealing than watching static characters that never develop over the course of the series. You bring up the Onsen and Christmas arcs (and the middle school flashback...though that was what...2 chapters)...but Chitoge fans can more than topple that with all the development made during the first 50 chapters, the Hana arc, Amnesia arc, Move arc, and, of course, the recent Majikoi arc. If we're honestly arguing that the author has an obligation to certain characters...Chitoge is easily at the top of that list.

Not to say you aren't allowed to enjoy Raku/Onodera, It's just many of us would find it incredibly disappointing if such a static character ended with the MC, despite the entire manga developing in a different direction. From a story-telling perspective, that's just extremely poor writing...and essentially dismisses the entire manga's development.

Anyways, I'll sum up with this. Nisekoi isn't a perfect manga...it has more than its share of problems, and Komi definitely deserves flack for a lot of his red herring and pacing issues. However, the main couple the story is written around is not one of these issues. It's one thing if the story sets out to accomplish something, and completely subverts this theme along the way....that type of fault lies with the author. However, if the story sets out to do something, and the reader expects something else, only for the author to continue with his original plan? I'm sorry...but that type of misunderstanding likes entirely...100% with the audience.

Really in the end though...you're not forced to like the themes Komi has set out to establish. No manga should have to please everybody. Everytime I hear someone complain about Nisekoi, I always tell them to drop it, even if it is one of my top 3 weekly manga. It's a really a love or hate it series. However...treating it as something inherently flawed because it doesn't achieve the themes you enjoy? That's absolutely a selfish way of thinking.

I'm not sure I'll see this for a while, I'm honestly not a frequent MAL user. I do post a lot about Nisekoi on the subreddit, r/Nisekoi...so you might see me there before I come back here. No worries either way though.
