As much as I love being the bearer of bad news, apparently there will be only six volumes sold with each containing two episodes.
http://www.nisekoi.jp/disc/

I find it somewhat amusing that the full Blu-ray release only costs ¥1,000 more than the full DVD release per volume.

Last year it was the same and they added episodes half-way through when it was success. But this year.. I don't know. Still hope though as we will have to wait whole year for next season soon and they could get to chapter 70-80 at best (memory arc cliffhanger perhaps?).

It seems first half of this series will be chitoge-centred and the second one haru-centred with ep or two dedicated to new characters (Paula and Fuu-chan).

Not much screentime left for Marika, Tsugumi and Kosaki I fear :/

Don't mind if it's shorter, I felt the last season dragged on a bit when they reached halfway and it seems this season is getting straight to the point.

Things change though.

I can see why it's 12 episodes because most of the chapters in the manga are basically fillers so they are skipping the filler chapters so we can get faster to the plot parts of the story.

Playing devil's advocate: they might not be all of the BDs and just might be for the 1st cour. Could still be more than 12 episodes and they aren't listed on the site. It's happened before with other anime.

Has there been any kind of info about the episode count elsewhere?

I don't think we should set anything in stone yet. This might just be me praying and hoping that it's not just 12 episodes but I still have doubts. They could easily show the remaining volumes with more episodes after this cour or when it's about to end. And again the episode count hasn't been updated on the MAL description of Nisekoi:
So I think we should just wait and see. Only one episode has been released so far. We should wait a little while before we make our assumptions concrete

With that terribly drawn characters in episode 1, they could easily animate 30 episodes without having to worry about budget or deadlines.

This is a stupid move for Shaft Studio. They don't even doing many projects this year.
They was just do 2 shows for this year. Or maybe they are planning to acquire of something. (manga or light novel adaptation, or original anime?)
Or they just don't have any budget to make another 2 cour. But I'm still hoping (they must!) Nisekoi will have another 2 cour.
Like what happened on Nisekoi Season 1. That they originally planned to make 1 cour then turned to 2 cour with 20 episodes. (If they really did that?)

When i tried to plan second season layout:
1-First episode
2-Paula (1 episode=2 chapters)
3/4-Hana Kirisaki (2 episodes=5 chapters)
5-Valentine's day (1 episode=2 chapters)
6-Marathon (1 episode=2chapters)
7/9-Haru (3 episodes=6 chapter)
10-ShuuxTeacher (1 episode=3 chapter)
11/13-Chitoge Birthday (3 episodes=6 chapter)

13 episodes fits perfectly...No filler,no skips,ending with the announcement:
With 12 episodes probably one of the Shuu(%10) or Valentine's day(%90) arcs will be skipped...

The thing with skipping filler chapters is that some characters will get very little screen time.
It's double-edged sword actually. Nisekoi benefits from reader being attached to its characters and even unsubstantial chapter moves time a bit forward, creating bond with the cast, illusion of time flowing and making readers care.

Put that away in anime, concentrate on main story only, and you'll get story with characters you don't care for. That's not to say they won't adapt it, of course, seeing that second part of the first episode was such a filler. But with small episode count, things get cut and hurried which is always bad thing.

But I think some of those skipped chapters will be good material for OVA (great Onodera's middle-school chapter 98 for example though I would fit this one to main series for greater impact) so we may yet to see them eventually.
Still hoping for Shaft adding some episodes like last year though.

If it really is 12 episodes then man that's a bummer. With that being said does that mean half or most of the episodes are going to be some kind of fillers that don't relate to the manga per say.

This sucks! This means less plot development, and it could be done to where they have at least 20 eps without the filler parts.

I think you can be ease with plot because 1 cours will be fine with plot. Just decrease filler with Kosaki, Tsugumi, Marika. Although i would love those fillers.

The marathon could probably be skipped, nothing happened. The Valentine arc was 3 chapters and you have to include the Changing seat chapter.

The ending of the 3rd episode is at 60, so I'm guessing every episode is going to be 2 chapters each all the way through.

Continuing from this episode:
episode 4 - 61-62
episode 5 - 63-66 (probably changing seats chapter here)
episode 6 - 67-68 (valentine arc)
episode 7 - 69-? (end valentine arc, some filler chapter)
episode 8 - 72-73 (Marathon)
episode 9 - 75-76 (Haru intro)
episode 10 - 77-78 (Haru continue)
episode 11 - 83-84 (Shuu arc)
episode 12 - 85-86 (end Shuu arc, pendant is given back)

I'm just guessing. Given that the first season adapted nearly 50 chapters in 20 episode, this seem pretty close with around 36 chapters in 12 episodes. Her birthday is after Shuu arc, so it'll be the first episode for the next season. But like I said, I'm just assuming.

Her birthday arc would take up 3 episodes, the only ones they could replace would be the valentine arc and marathon. Now we wait till episode 6 to see if its the valentine arc or if shaft skip it straight to Haru.

Nah please. It would left/end again with a "bad after taste". It should end with other chapter. Or an Original Ending would be fitting.
But if it would end again with Chitoge arc. There should be no more adaptation of the manga.

with haru appears at around chapter 70, she'll need more episodes, seeing she's like the focus of this season (from op). to make that happen, some filler arc and not-so-important arc will be skipped. i just hope that shuu arc isn't one of them..
