This manga's title, Nisekoi, means "False Love". However, it should also have a second meaning: "False Genre".
Naoshi Komi's Nisekoi is deceiving. At first, it starts off with a genuine low-drama love triangle, in which the story is based around solving the mystery behind Raku Ichijou's childhood lover. It is never doubted for any moment that comedy is the main focus of this manga; however, it also has a great amount of romance. As the plot thickens and the story progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult for the reader to predict which girl the male protagonist will end up with. (And that's what all romance manga should

First impression: I hadn't laughed that much since Seto no Hanayome. This manga is really hilarious, and by what is seen on its One Shot it will get more action as the story keeps moving forward.
Story: Is some sort of reversed Romeo and Juliet story style, since here two rival families, a yakusa and a gangster one, leaders' want to settle a peace treatment by joining their respective heirs; a guy and a girl than can't see each other with out beginning a ruckus... but that somehow managed to maintain the masquerade to prevent a war between the families. Art: I can't give it a 10, ...

It's been years since I started the journey that is Nisekoi. I remember watching the first few episodes of the anime to only lose track of where I was not to finish it. Funny right? With an overall score of 9, how could I just stop?
I like to watch/read things through to the end. One at a time and really savour the work. So this past weekend I decided that Nisekoi would be my target. Recalling the unique story that I began years ago was nostalgic and heart-warming all at once. I watched the first season of the anime through to the end only ...

Unlike most romances that run in Weekly Shonen Jump (classics include I''s, Ichigo 100% and To Love-Ru), this series focuses more on comedy than on being an ecchi series.
The story is not 100% original but that's to be expected since the use of love triangles is a pillar of shonen romances, yet still manages to be amusing and good to read as a general romance. The artwork of course is less "romance" and more "slice of life" and it fits surprisingly well with the story which is made even more amusing by the characters. This manga might not make your top 10 list, but it is ...

Actually, unlike majority who have written reviews about Nisekoi, I feel that it is quite a good manga.
If you have watched the anime, and are planning to read the manga now, you should be warned that the start of the manga would shock you. The art is ... meh but after awhile the art work goes to the expected standard i.e. like the anime. I really like harem manga and anime so the story was great, so it got a 9/10 for story. The characters are quite good too, there are a wide range of characters. I enjoyed reading it as I watched the anime first ...

Characters-
Ichijou Raku is the male protagonist with outstanding grades and respectable behaviour who desires to enter into a good university after high school and eventually become a government worker. Hindering this is the fact that Ichijou is the heir to a Yakuza and hindering that is the fact that he’s a total weakling. Kirisaki Chitoge is the female protagonist with better grades than Ichijou (scoring 105 out of 100) and happens to be his childhood friend. She’s a tsundere, plain and simple. Good looking but easily prone to violence against Ichijou, and the heiress to what appears to be a Mafia. The Oneshot was actually ...

I never heard of this until I randomly stumbled upon it on my recommended list so I wasn't really expecting much apart from your typical lovey-dovey story with 2 girls fighting over 1 guy shenanigans. And gangsters. Wait, what? Nisekoi translates to "Fake Love". Due to an unfortunate fate, the lovers in this story must become a couple for the sake of their feuding families but the problem is that they absolutely loathe eachother. Stir in a decent amount of cute slapstick comedy and a splash of soft harem (yes, there are 4 girls in total) and you have a formula for something amazing that

First of all, I’d like to go out on a limb here and say that Nisekoi’s genre represented here on MAL is actually inaccurate and can be quite misleading to newer viewers. If you’re expecting a complexed and hilarious love story…well, you will get that for the most part, but be forewarned that this is also a harem in the making. While having a strong start in the lines of a romance comedy manga, this convection flails as the series progresses. However, do not let this factor hinder you from reading. Being ranked 44th here on MAL, I think its popularity says for itself just

SPOILER-FREE REVIEW
I just finished reading Nisekoi and I think it's one of the best harem romcom I have ever watched/read. Why's that? First, because the MC chooses one of the girls at the end, you don't end up with some bullshit like "I love all of them I can't decide which one I want to live my life with". Then, the story is good, honestly. There is a development for every character. And they don't make unlogical decisions out of nowhere, in my opinion. All right Raku is quite dislikable, he doesn't see anything that's happening in front of him, but that's a standard in Harem comedies now so ...

This is my very first review, so please bear with me...
After reading 36 chapters, I can pretty much say that this story lacks originality. The story's based on your typical love triangle and childhood promise, so you won't find anything new here. Despite the generic and predictable story, Komi Naoshi still manages to keep me hooked to it by utilizing quite a few minor plot twist throughout the story. The art is probably where the manga shines the most. It's easy to enjoy and will definitely make you laugh on some occasions. The drawing style matches the story really well in my opinion. The characters in Nisekoi are as ...

First and foremost, if you started from watching the anime first and plan to marathon the manga, don't I highly recommend you not to. But if you are, go ahead I mean I can't really do much to stop you really. My advice is to start from the very start or continue where you left off from the Anime, you'll only be startled.
The series really got me riled up actually. To begin with, what I can say in terms of the story/plot is "Ugh, are you serious?" overall. There are TONS of turn-of-events. As the series progressed, it just gets more complicated, piling one ...

MILD SPOILERS! I'll try to be as vague as possible, but you could probably tell my biases and feelings about the ending from the reasons why I love this series.
Nisekoi is a tricky manga to review. As you can see from the overall score I gave this manga, I pretty much loved it as a whole. But it has some serious flaws that I'll get out of the way first. 1) This manga is probably a hundred chapters longer than it needs to be. It starts off great, stagnates HARD in the middle, then ramps back up to excellent again for the final 50 chapters or ...

Wow! I will be honest, I only read from where the second season of the anime ended (chapter 107 on). I have watched many anime that left me wanting to know more and see an ending to the plot, but nothing like Nisekoi has gotten me to binge read the manga to see how it ends. I had a strong urge to know who does Raku choose if he chooses any of the girls that fancy him. Why may that urge be? Read below to see why.
Story 10/10 The plot was really well thought out. Raku made a promise with a girl 10 years ago and ...

No Spoilers
After watching both the seasons of this anime, I wanted more from the story, so I read the manga, and boy does it deliver. Now the story drags on a bit ngl, there are a few chapters where nothing happened, but when I read the final chapter, I wanted it to be much longer. I'm more of a romance anime guy, I like my dramas like A silent voice or I want to eat your pancreas, but this gave me a break from the depression the previously mentioned anime brought upon me, in terms of harem, this manga is god tier, all of the ...

What can I say about it? It's been three years since I finished the manga, and it's still my favorite manga of all time. I just enjoyed everything about it. The characters were so endearing, and the unexpected connections between them added to the charm. By the end of my reading, I found myself crying with all my soul. It left a deep impact on my mental health, but, as I mentioned before, the show remains perfect to me.
I acknowledge that if you were to take a more objective view of the show, you might find some flaws. However, from my personal perspective, I truly ...

So I've been looking through the reviews after finishing this manga a day ago to see if people responded how I did. I was shocked by the result. I don't think Nisekoi is a "fair" or "average" manga, I think it's excellent. That said, it's not a typical harem, it's a lot more soft and romantic, so if that's what you're after look somewhere else. Personally I fell in love with this manga (and anime) due to it's charm, humour and fun characters. That said, I will try be as objective as possible. STORY: 8 Nisekoi's story about fake love is not overly original, but is well ...

I come to this series as a recommendation from Kanojo Okarishimasu. This series is really interesting and fun to read.
The series hits its climax when the truth about the MC's young love is slowly being revealed. The ending is great, unlike the tragic story of 5-toubun. I am really thankful for the author's great work by not destroying the entire series with a horrible plot twist (however there are enough tensions built up). Overall the story pacing is good, almost all characters get their fair amount of development. However. I am a bit disappointed as Raku's mother is not properly covered and her face is ...

Such a hilarious love story with a wonderful art and mesmerizing character design, extremely enjoyable with many great laughing moment. Although I would love to see Onodera win in the end, every chapters are worth paying for for buying the manga. See it you guys, you won't be dissappointed. By the way I am team Onodera and Yui nee chan lol. This is definately the second Toradora with even beter harem and Kawaii female mc, while it is also long enough for us to not feeling empty when it end so soon. Hope the 3rd and 4th season of the anime with come out (I

I made a YouTube video for my review of Nisekoi. I also don't like giving numerical ratings to the shows I watch so that's why they're all 10s. Go ahead and watch the video or otherwise just read the text version yourself. ^^
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1P3cx9rzJ4&t=1s Warning: The following review will contain spoilers for the ending as well as specific moments of Nisekoi. This is a review of the anime and manga so yes, that means I will be discussing all the way until the manga’s conclusion. If you wish to skip over the spoilers, I will provide timestamps which will allow you to do so and will also ... |
