There's no way Ruri is gonna end up in Raku's harem. I think Raku came just because he needs to be in basically every chapter. If the author was going for RakuxRuri, he wouldn't have thrown Shuu in, the guy just came together with them randomly... I can totally see Ruri crying on Shuu's shoulder.

I was really worried when Ruri picked Raku to be her fake boyfriend, but Shuu tagged along so everything is fine. No doubt there will plenty of Ruri x Shuu ship-tease in the next chapter.

Nice to see Ruri get some focus again. I didn't expect her to be an ojou as well.

with this series so far is anything not out of the question I mean did u ever suspect ruri was an ojou-sama. This series has been predictable to a point but some of the things they've done are not typical nothings out of the question

Hmmmm. The maid just mentioned the grandfather's "condition" being serious, not his "health" or "medical condition." Watch his "condition being quite serious" refer to his creeper mode lol.

Or he could be faking it once again... *cough cough* I want to see great-grandchildren before I die!"

Hopefully this arc brings Ruri and Shuu closer. Shuu sharing pictures of Ruri to her grandfather was funny.

The bed-wet pic made my day

If Ruri begins to have feelings for Raku I will be highly pissed.

Come on Komi dont be predictable im beggin you !!!

Why is that predictable? I don't see any way this ends up with Ruri liking Raku; were that to be the case, the author would never have had Shuu tag along. He's never been present on any of the other occasions where Raku's raised flags.

And there are also more complex possibilities.

For example, Ruri could fall for Raku. But because of Chitoge, this is another repeat of the Haru situation - Ruri will risk compromising her friendship. So, Ruri first tries to suppress those feelings, but after struggling, decide to redirect those feelings to Shuu , as a "substitute instead". And, so true to the title of the story, the Beta Couple (Ruri x Shuu) is yet another form of fake love, because Shuu starts out substituting for Raku.

That's just one possibility.
just like Ruri is Shuu substitute for his first love?
(Shuu firs love was the teacher right?)

possible but i'd say unlikely I can still imagine ruri and shuu (i'm still on team onodera) but with this series anything is possible

It would be a fitting irony considering the supposed theme of Nisekoi to begin with.

Most harems the friend supporting the main girl falls in love too.

Something like that happened in Negima.

while I agree 100% that's something that happens a lot i'll just point out this

1. The main girl (despite the fact she's second to onodera on the feelings chart) unfortunately is chitoge. The girl in the lead is onodera
2. Ruri supports Onodera 100% in her pursuit of Ichijou not chitoge in fact I suspect if Onodera stole raku from chitoge she would be quite happy with that fact.

And which of those series has the author blatantly shipping said girl with a different character, one who happens to be playing third wheel on their secret trip?

You know something went wrong when people are more interested in the Beta couple than the lead.

because the lead couple is so painfully bad its not worth it. Even with the faking relationship they pretty much hated each other their only "moments" were when raku was forced to act like a couple. unlike with raku and dera who have a natural attraction. the beta couple is funny because its a classic trope girl hates guy severely but somehow falls for him and Ruri and Shuu r more interesting because both of them support their friends Shuu supports raku and ruri supports dera even moreso because both try intentionally to get their friend in awkward spots

I read the hentai between Raku and Ruru..and i didnt like it, thus Raku x Ruri is an epic fail ship that will sink faster than Titanic did.

Something must be wrong with virtually every other series remotely similar to this then. No, I think it is false perception of a vocal minority just like the side-girl-shipping phenomenon.

I can, however, see the appeal of side couples compared to the main ones. Series like Nisekoi solve the main couple's story only at the very end. Especially with longer series and when some people read it for the romance only this can become frustrating. Side couple plots, on the other hand, are much quicker and less complicated as their development is finished over a short period of time (/number of chapters).

I guess it's the counterpart to the mindlessly devoted, boobs-in-your-face girl archetype. It's an oversimplified fantasy.

I think it's pretty safe to assume that Ruri won't fall prey to Raku.

First thing, we got Shu there. Koshi probably didn't add him to this trip just for the lolz.
And secondly, if Koshi is in need of a "supporting her friend but later also falling for the MC" type, then he has Haru already. One is enough.
