    Nisekoi (False Love), Really Interesting

    Today, my milestone is Nisekoi. I just finished the anime yesterday and playing my nerves to write down a review over it. Maybe the genre confused you as it neither totally Romantic nor partially comedian, but it rather gives you a rich feeling about relations, affections, love gloamings e.t.c. I think it is a Romantic Anime with a sweet core of comedy. I, therefore total priority to the story and the screenplay as its flow and streaming is really great and this is one of a kind. If you are a student/Bachelor, just give it a run, i think you will really adhere to it. The Characters are also lovable, each and everyone in its own way. I won't give a remark to it, but to be honest, I can't help mentioning that after watching this, I am being forced by some kind of powers to go through the manga by myself.......

    Thanks for all your support and attention that you gave to my review. i think I don't disappointed you.

    Love flows slowly in great beauty, but when it comes to Nisekoi sometimes he approaches in a slowly and clumsy way.

    I don't usually watch anime, but when i do is because i feel attracted to their beautiful visuals. And let me tell you straight away that Nisekoi lacks good storytelling but it compensates that with charismatic characters that are very familiar to anyone who loves Anime and good sections of comedy.

    Nisekoi it's about a forced romance between Chitoge Kirisake a beautiful(Like any other character in any other series...) blonde girl from America with Japanese roots and Raku Ichijo. Both are the sons of the most powerful Yakuza family leaders in Japan. Both Yakuza gangs are in war but in an attempt to make peace and stop the war they force each others son / daugther to engage in a relationship.

    And that's it. Both Chitoge and Raku doesn't like each other in the beginning but they start to make a good relationship in the process. Most importantly Raku is in love with Onodera Konozaki a beautiful and gentle girl from his class.

    And there's a backstory... Raku fell in love with a girl he met in his childhood, he keeps with himself a nice golden lock that works like a necklace, in order to find who is the girl from his childhood both the girl and him should open his lock with a key and discover who is the girl that he fell in love at that time. Because at the moment he doesn't remember how does she even look like, or his name. And as the story continues the possibilities are increasing.

    The story isn't very good, the characters are like any other characters you've meet in any other romance anime you've watched but it has a lot of funny moments.

    no ending

    They make the base very well and romantic but finish before end.

    They had 36 eps but did not end properly or end at all .

    Why they did not make the rest and season 3.

    Just wasting time.

    I don't recommend it to anyone.

    No ending :(

    I really found the story interesting. I usually try and guess whats gonna happen at the end but throughout the show i had no idea, cause once i thought of somthing,the next episode proved it wrong. I would have givin it a 10 but i felt like they dragged the story a bit and it was taking forever to end. When i finally arrived to the last episode i was expecting an actual ending but it ended on a cliff hanger. If you dont mind it ending on a cliff hanger and then reading the manga to know the answer i think this is quite interesting :)

    I did my best to not spoil it :)

    Should've been a love triangle

    First of all, the anime should've chosen either the key and lock or the arranged marriage plot device. Doing both just made the whole story clunky. Second, It would've been better if it was just a love triangle between Raku, Chitoge, and Marika instead of a harem. Both Chitoge and Marika were strong-willed, stubborn, and refuse to accept defeat. So them aggressively competing with dense-as-hell Raku in the middle of the chaos would've been more fun and compelling to watch. I'd also want Marika to be the childhood friend with the key to the lock instead of Onodera. I don't hate her; I just found her boring compared to all the other love interests. Every joke and subplot that revolved around Onodera was the same, and her constant failed confessions were repetitive and annoying. Plus, she really had nothing going for her in the harem apart from being nice, pretty, and Raku's childhood friend. What made Marika's love for Raku more interesting was that her dad was the police commissioner. Imagine how interesting it would've been to have a love triangle with the daughter of a gang leader and the daughter of the police commissioner. The story's overarching conflict could've been Raku choosing between uniting the two rival gangs or creating peace between his father's gang and the police department. Overall the story was fine. If you like harems, you'll like this. I just wish the story were better.
