I've been telling you all, every major problem with Nisekoi can be directly tied to Kosaki Onodera's existence. The effect she's had on the story proper has been cancerous from the first chapter. She's a tumor that needs to be excised.

THE TRUTH


Edit: F@CK THAT GUY who pushed her in the character polls

Doesn't the anime thread prefer Onodera?

F@CK THEM TOO

In all honesty, the series would probably be a lot less lighthearted if Kosaki was more relevant of a character so I get why she gets no real development. I mean, I'd still prefer her replaced with Haru's character but still.

Stretch 15

Pretty much all of those stretches caught me in places in my body that I didn't know existed. One of them brought forth a click from my torso that echoed in the entire neighborhood. Feels good though.

Also holy crap those punk clothes looked way too good on her.

 

[jman2050]

In fairness, Kanahana VA work is captivating and Shaft did a pretty good job with her scenes in general but that's all surface level stuff.

Exactly! Her character and role in the story is static, boring, and unchanging by necessity. There's no 'improving' a character like Kosaki. The only solution is that she never should have existed in the first place.

That was just DTL.

 

[Angry Grimace]

It was more likely she'd just confess than actually leaving the harem. Haru is on the periphery anyways and if she actually went after him, it would barely even mess with the status quo.

At the very least the author makes it so the other characters are aware of how dumb it is every hot girl wants Raku's D.

Peephole 33

No, glasses girl, no.

Don't do this.

 

[Vito]

Cute series.

 

[Chariot]

All this Oldnodera and Marika hate here, making me sad.
Oldnodera used to be my favorite, but due her recent actions she went down, making place for Marika. Poor Marika, she has it bad in this manga.

 

[thesaucetastic]

Red Blood Red Legacy 18
This is so dumb.

DTL would be happy though, wherever he is.

 

[Revo]

Peephole 33

I'm okay with her dying.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Marika is terrible because she's basically just Kaga Kouko from Golden Time except without any of the endearing characteristics.

 

[jman2050]

Marika became OK once it was clear she was relegated to comic relief. I'm sure when she inevitably dies from anime cancer we'll get some requisite drama out of her.

 

[Chariot]

Interesting enough: I hated Golden Time, because of Kaga. I didn't like her at all. Marika is clingy and aggressive, yes. But in contrast to Kaga she wasn't on some other guys pants for years to just suddenly change her love within days. Marika is also very fun in general and less creepy as Koko.

Death by anime is always the worst.

Fatal Frame/Zero 4
Huh, wasn't expecting the humor.

Also wow that guy is a legit stalker, isn't he.

kenkouki - 2

Fuck this manga. Trash, trash, trash. Glorious Not-Japan Empire of the Sun fighting a noble war of defense against imperialist white trash.

And even as a 'boy' it should be impossible for her. She's half the size of everyone there! And her shorts are too short! She's nothing but blush lines and boob shots. Trash, trash, trash.

 

[Rhapsody]

Nisekoi 134

And this chapter proves how superior the younger Onodera is. That and how she's never going to escape Raku's harem.

This chapter hit all the right notes for me.

This. Comparing Kouko to Marika? Kouko's awful while Marika not. Plus Kouko isn't there for comedic purposes.

That's mostly because Kaga's interest in the other guy was about as shallow as Marika's, but at least Golden Time explored that.

 

[Rhapsody]

Don't make me try to remember the events of Golden Time. All it does is bring pain.

Thanks for saving me the trouble. Was going to check this out.

Delicious schadenfreude

 

[Quixzlizx]

On the plus side, Haru went from Marika-tier to Chitoge-tier in like 20 chapters.

I don't think Haru got worse...

 

[upandaway]

I think exploring that would have meant admitting her to a mental health facility, not let her do the same thing just to someone else!

 

[PK Gaming]

Prison School

In a way, the vice-prez is even more goofy than the prison boys. I really enjoy her character (not necessarily for the fanservice, since her proportions are waaaaaay off). She develops into this super comical character, and I love it.

 

[dramatis]

We've done this with literally every WSJmanga.

I dunno. If you can predict what role the crazy rocket the boys built in Prison School is going to play, you win the world.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I didn't mean exploring it realistically. But she did have to deal with the fact the target of her affections wasn't someone she actually liked, she mostly just liked the idea of him.

 

[scy]

I dunno, I quite liked Golden Time (LN/Manga), though I'm not through it all. The original target feels like it's more just there for the gimmick of her character and not something to be taken all too seriously.

Okay, we're not that good.

It is going to make a cameo in the yaoi 3 kingdoms doujin that she's making

The adaptation definitely made it worse. I just didn't like the main pairing at all, and there was a lot of weird drama.

The last arc didn't exactly help my impression of it either.

Kinda interested.

Hm sure. I think all girls in Nisekoi except for Chitoge and Haru have the same kind of shallow obsession though, Marika's just going ballistic over it because of her personality.

That said the Koko/Marika type character (or just call it deredere) is pretty common though, and it's not entirely bad. I mean there's Nekogurui Minako-san out there.

 

[Rhapsody]

Chiaki Kon strikes again.

I think this is what really hurt me before I started the anime. :/

Pacing was just as awful as Higurashi and Umineko in some ways.

 

[jman2050]

Koko was obsessed with her childhood friend because he was her childhood friend and them falling in love and living their lives together was all "part of the plan". Same reason that despite realizing she liked Banri she rebuffed his confession and tried the whole staying friends until they get together deal, because it was all "part of the plan".

Also she's insane.

She tries her hardest to not be insane though!

Assassination Classroom 96

Has there been a single chapter so far without a joke about her flat chest? I know these jokes are common in manga but man I've never seen a character have it this bad. This is brutal.

Domina no Do 09-41 (END)

Where do I begin with this series. Let's start with a synopsis:

Tsuchie Takeshi has dreams of when he played with Hikari-chan as a child. He remembers her as a kind, sweet girl. However, one day on the way home from school, Takeshi is abducted and taken to a huge house, only to find out that she's become an arrogant, violent dominatrix (emphasis on violent). Furthermore, she says that he promised to marry her! How will he adjust to her new personality, and living with her as a new son of her prestigious family?

So what is the manga about then? It's a crude comedy manga about BDSM. Now this might not sound appealing and certainly, if you don't appreciate crudeness you might not enjoy this manga. That being said, not all this manga's humour is crude, and even that which is is normally quite clever.

Story-wise there isn't a lot going on, they introduce characters, and they setup some arcs where things happen together with a climax that follows some previous events but this isn't that kind of series. Instead there is a lot of character development.

The characters themselves are quite charming and they fill their roles in the manga's comedy quite well. They fit the work quite well.

Speaking of the comedy this made me laugh pretty hard on many occasions, it's definitely the highlight of this work, and I thank wonzo for recommending this to me.
Finally the art, while crude is pretty good with some nice gags.

Theonik's long awaited review of Domina no Do.

Chou good job!

Some series I wish I can experience for the first time again.

 

[Envelope]

from what i remember of domino no do is it had terrible art, terrible characters, and terrible attempts at comedy.

I bet theonik likes that nana to kaoru manga too even though it's shit

....I don't know why people like nana to kaoru either.

 

[irfaanator]

Prison School

Read based on drama's impression. Definitely an interesting series. Seems like all the smut is just based on weird whacky hijinks. Principal is definitely great lol. I do kind of wonder where the series will go after the current arc

 

[bigkrev]

Domina no Do had the best Yugioh parody chapter ever

 

[Zweizer]

People dissing Nana to Kaoru here now? smh
