Yeah, Marika is well developed in that she knows she luvs Raku, but you can call her dense for only having one level of intensity that is more harmful for her relationship than good.
Onodera is even worse. She even has her own confidant screaming at her to just make the move. It will always be in her grasp, but the question is how stupid she is. So far she's looking to be stupid enough to let Raku go.

Woah, never said harem was bad or never worked. Its just that this series isn't harem. Its a cruel, cruel illusion that gives the appearance of a harem but never does any of the rational steps that occur in true harem mangas (Umi no Misaki, Sekerei, etc.)
In true harem series the main character isn't being force-fed sedatives to keep their minds slow and drowsy. Thus Nagi is not that bad of a character compared to Raku, but you can't really hate on Raku, he's getting nightly injections from Naoshi.
Of course there are cases where this illusion becomes reality, but until that happens people shouldn't have ever treated Nisekoi as a harem manga. Its not. Its a multiple-relationship tease-fest.
