Never read that, does the protagonist end up with the fan favorite instead of who he'd been blatantly developed together with?
Mayo Chiki END - So ... he chose a girl AND keeps the harem?
Oh god, that bait and switch then.

Never read it but I can confirm by other people stating it to me that yes the fan favorite wins and not the main girl
Jumps editors cause problems for most series
They just always want to follow the mainstream and gain more viewers
They destroy most series with either random comedic, mascot or filler non progressing characters and cancel a lot of worthwhile series
but i liked it cause shes the best girl
Well, in Nisekoi's case, I was more referencing the one-shot.
As for Ichigo 100%, well, I think she ended up being the best developed girl and worked the best for the story.

At least once a month I find fault in the series...
Why do I even read it!
What hope is left... What reason to continue?

Gets the girl, keeps the harem, and proves his worth. A good ending, I suppose.

The best girl won in the end but most people were expecting someone else to win.

Drama troubles popped up leading to the typical separation type struggles. It was unfortunate that it was the result of some weird teaching regime implemented by someone as I cant imagine why she would think it was weird. At least fortunately, Yui and Asagi were able to work out their difficulties and get back together and in a really great well drawn set of panels to close the chapter out.

Hey buuuuuuudy!....
.....so how many guys here read Shoujo mangas? Is it true they make your penis fall off?

I've read a few Shoujo series and I still have my penis as far as I know. I tend to avoid most Shoujo series though because most of them have art that I can't stand. Though if the story is really good though I could probably get over that.
The only recent one I read is Taiyou no Ie, and I like it. It's pretty neat.
I can't get into a lot of Shoujo manga mainly because the art tends to not be very appealing in many series.

A story about a headstrong girl and her aloof twin brother and their relationship between each other and their friends.
It is pretty much a shoujo down to the flowerly art. It is enjoyable so far though mostly due to all the nice warm feelings between the twins and how they interact. I guess a big bonus is that its been pretty heavy drama free which is always a plus for me.

Shojo series are frequently all the same. It's always the handsome bad boy who happens to be a player or smartest in the grade or any other quality that makes him inordinately popular in school and too good to be true. The girl's always spineless and clingy and exceedingly average in popularity/smarts/everything worthwhile. And she'll frequently have no friends or just one or two ineffectual ones who get paired off with the main guy's rival in love or friend or both. And her whole life as depicted by the manga revolves around getting him to notice her. Top it off with bad art, aggressive love rivals that don't really do anything other than give an excuse for the main guy or girl to recognize or pursue their feelings for each other, and sometimes poorly drawn and awkward sex scenes where the girl always cries for god knows what reason, and you've got your average shojo.
Case in point...
Chicchai Toki Kara Suki Dakedo 1-6
I'm a sucker for the childhood friend romantic cliche, but this barely used it that much despite it being the hook. I couldn't even tell how or why he fell for her, if he did at all. Basically your average shojo (as in it's shit).
I'm a fan of romance, but 90% of shojo manga just don't do it right.

Mayo Chiki 38 END
I never realized that was the full name of the series. Well the more you know. Well it was a good ending in that he did get the girl and the harem is still close and it's still cute

You guys should read glass mask aka greatest manga of all time.
As for Shoujo I used to read quite a bit, though I mostly read seinen and josei, or just any random thing that looks interesting. Don't mind shounen but I can't handle too much of it.
Nah man, he got together with the fan favorite who was also in most of the scenes that had actual development. Main girl could've won anytime if she actually did something, she lost because she did squat. It was also dragged out way too long but the best and right girl won. They really shouldn't have wasted any time with Kozue Mukai and the cram school arc, should've just started to wind the manga down instead of trying to pad it out.
Anyway for anyone who read/s them how were Kawashita's last two manga series in the ongoing Te to Kuchi and G-Maru Edition.
First post. Congrats, it works.
*ahem* can you please list out your top 5 manga please
I dont think I even have one favorite. One Piece was cool when I had 500 chapters to read, kinda cooled off on it after the time skip. Berserk and Slam Dunk are the only ones I can think of. Also, don't read smut stuff.
Edit: I've been a lurker since 2008 and this community changed a lot, I didn't. Mostly read the "big 3" shounen weekly, everything else i kinda lose interest in after a while.
G-Maru Edition was funny, it's not very long so you should give it a shot. Te to Kuchi isn't written by Kawashita, she's just the artist. It's been pretty good so far, but it's still early so who knows how it'll end up.

Big three means Toriko right?....
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?
Edit: I don't really read any smut either
Unless you call Shokugeki Soma in that category
Nisekoi is neither smut or Shonen rather it is the epitome of dispair
Fake Edit #2: well I guess Fairy Tail is extreme smut now
:/

Its one of my favorite anime of all time. Does the manga cover more / go longer than the anime? That would alone be enough to put it in the backlog. In fact, I started reading Skip Beat where the anime left off in hope of getting the acting drama feel that I got from glass mask. Sadly, I'm at chapter 97 and there hasn't been much of it for 35 chapters now.

It's still ongoing, and goes all the way through to the two girls preparing for the crimson goddess play, but the translations pretty much stalled at where the author left for a hiatus.
