Just caught up to vol 7, and still not sure about purchasing vol 8. I REALLY REALLY need to be careful on buying books in volumes, even when the manga are the cheapest haul for me in this year so far. orz

That being said, even if the Captain is not the one to voice Tsugumi, I will still root for her. Though I don't mind the other three girls though.

Hoping SHAFT will bring the best out of this

Whatever you do, don't buy the novelizations. It takes the word 'boring' to another level. But maybe it's just me.

What could Tachibana be hiding?

Looks like Raku remembers the color of the eyes of the promise girl and its not Chitoge.

We can finally cross out one of the girls. Chitoge isn't the promised girl.

There are four girls in the book so I'm pretty sure a fourth girl is coming. Either she or Marika will be the promised girl. What Marika is hiding might be the fourth girl's identity.

It's also probable that she knows what happens next on the book.

still, Being the promised girl doesn't mean Raku would end up with that person by the end of this manga

Of course not...because no matter what he'll end up with Chitoge if he does end up with a single girl. I'm no Chitoge shipper mind you (Marika <3 ), but it's pretty clear who the final girl is right from the start.

Wow, what a nice twist at the end but I wonder if there would be another twist that will ended up bring back the promised girl route to Chitoge.

Marika being mysterious and Maikot being the one who notice.

What we know:
1. Raku was playing with Onodera and Chitoge somewhere on the countryside
2. There was a hospital nearby, where Raku met with Marika
3. There are 4 girls in storybook - princess and 3 girls with keys
4. Storybook has a sad ending
5. Chitoge, most probably, is not the promised girl

What if there was a fourth girl, treated in she same hospital Marika was. Raku made a promise with that fourth girl, and all 3 other girls promised to help them - so all three have a key (like in the story). Sad ending probably means death of princess (and by parallel death of promised girl). That way Chitoge, while not being a promised girl, still could be the final girl. I think author put so many "hints" pointing Chitoge as final girl, so almost no one expect any other girl could win.

This seems to make most sense for me, the fourth girl most likely has passed away, hence Marika's unwillingness to talk.

I think there is a "trap" in this: The "promised girl" is not necessarily who Raku promised a future with.

I like that prediction about the 4th girl, it's very bittersweet. In this scenario I could see a simple note being in Raku's locket saying "Don't forget me" or something like that. Maybe back then the 3 girls helped Raku to fulfill the dying wish of the 4th girl (who was terminally ill) like smuggling her out of the hospital to have her enjoy a final day outside. It would make for a sweet and sad back story.

Still, while I could really appreciate such a revelation about the lock I rather expect the author to go the simple way, introduce the 4th girl and have her become another rival/harem member.

So Chitoge wasn't the promised girl, eh... well, I've always thought it was Kosaki so it didn't surprise me.
Nice amnesia arc though, getting hints and Raku's personality change -- if he was like that in the past, no wonder the girls liked him back then
On a side note, even though he'll most likely end up with Chitoge, I still hope for a Marika ending

It could be that Marika was friends with the "promise girl" who died, Raku lost his memories of that time from the shock of losing a dear close friend at such a young age and meanwhile Marika made a promise of her own with the "promise girl" involving Raku.

Or...the fourth girl could show up at some point and the standard harem setting returns to normal.

Or...or...or...or...Marika is the "promise girl" but due to some kind of agreement with the third key holder that died she can't say it's her.

Or...or...or...or...or...or...I dunno...theories and shit.

Isn't it pretty obvious that this is foreshadowing the fact that Raku won't end up with the promised girl? lol

I wish it would've been more subtle

This speculations about the promised girl makes me want to read love hina again.

Just like love hina, my hunch is that Chitoge is the promised girl despite Raku already said she isn't.

if the fourth girl really died that in itself would be sad and interesting at the same time.Or it could just be that marika for some reason really hates this girl

I think the signs are all there for a 4th girl. Based on the story, the three are probably "the girls with keys that helped the prince". Plus, there's the 'sad ending' and whatever secret Marika's keeping. (They met at a hospital, maybe that 4th girl died?)

what if the fourth girl is something like marika's sister or something weird like that. Although i will say that the promised girl thing is a nice twist its a shame it wont be revealed who it is quite yet

It was shown a while back that Marika was jealous of a girl with long hair (hated her even? Wish I remembered which chapter that was in so I could check). I'm pretty sure that's the fourth girl and that's why I think she's hiding her identity.

It would be interesting to find out the fourth girl is dead.
