I'm just pissed off that this full-on cliché GAG manga actually survives in JUMP. I sometimes wonder what kind of ppl (or rather kids) are the main contributors of the questionnaires.. I'm the type of person that likes being enticed by intricate storylines or identify with the characters i read about. Having a sub-par, makes you smile once a week title is rather obsolete in my opinion. Apparently the (young) japs like this more than stories that may have overly interesting plots, just because they have a somewhat slow start (iirc Double Arts was awesome all the way) Then again, Bleach is still not getting axed, but that's an entirely separate issue. |

@LeaD36 The longer a series goes the less the author has the liberty to develop in different directions. Hime Doll was in an extreme early-early stage when it was cancelled. If it got past the 50+, trust me, it would've gotten more and more static and repetitive once the author found out what exactly the readers like about the series. Your misconception is that you compare HD! 16 to Niskoi 100+ . So you don't like slice of life, which is pretty much the conclusion I'm getting here. There are a lot of mangas out there with a strong dynamic plot and/or interesting features and twists. Sry to say it like that but Hime Doll just wasn't good enough for the current market it seems. If Nisekoi only has whacky faces to it then Hime Doll had nothing, otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion in the Nisekoi thread but in a more-than-one-page HD thread. |

But then 3 heroines (Chitoge, Onodera and Marika) came along with 3 keys which are connected to the story and the promise ....and then the author went and dished out there being a fourth key. At this point in the manga would not be surprised if another heroine popped up with a key. Tough move? this manga has felt a lot like Kimi no Iru Machi manga with its constant prolonging. |

The pendant is a second plot (raku chitoge Onodera Marika and whoever else) The feelings of the various girls towards Raku. (Chitoge onodera marika Tsugumi, haru) are a third plot the side characters and their roles (paula, ruri, Shuu) are a 4th plot. You can resolve the first 3 with a few moves but yea this is getting annoying |

Putting this and KNIM in the same sentence is even.....wtf.. It's only getting "annoying" cause you guys are actually EXPECTING something to happen, if this series was riddled with drama and stupid like other series i could see it getting "annoying" but it's not... it's light.. it's funny... and it's drama free and it's pretty flippin adorable.... |

I guess coming from a crappy series like KNIM and reading Nisekoi i guess my definition of "drama" is a little different than yours, but yes i see little to nothing that could be defined as "drama" in this series. Unless your considering a bunch of high school girls coming to terms with their love for mc drama or raku trying to figure out this key/pendent situation drama then I guess yes you could call that drama.

The pendant-key problems is a focal point of the story. It's like Naruto
becomes the hokage in Naruto universe. If that plot point solved, there will be no reason to continue the story. Even if the author continue it by introducing another key element. It'll feel even more dragged, right? Did we wanna see this manga ended soon by forwarding this plot point? Now, what's actually this manga about. The title itself tells that it's about a Fake Love, Nise-Koi. The fake love between a gangster boss' daughter and Yakuza leader's son. The act of becomes a lover for three years in their highschool days. And that's all. This story is based on that premise. Hence, just enjoy their ride for this three years. Enjoy each of these characters interactions. The story is moving. Not based on the plot, but based on their highschool days. That pendant-key, promises of ten years ago, all of that will be fully revealed when the times comes. And I guess that'll be before their graduation days. |
