Can someone tell me what the phrase is supposed to be? The translation in a previous chapter had it as "zawze in love", but this chapter had it as "zaxia in love".

If translators clarification in previous chapters is true.
It should be "Zawsze in love".
In love is quite easy to translate, as for "Zawsze" its a Polish word for "Always" or "Forever" so Zawsze in love = Always/Forever in love.
Why did Chitoge use Polish word to say they will always be in love, beats me, but she did use it.
Dunno why they did revert to Zaxia.

So the phrase is a mash up of Polish and English. If they wanted to say always in love in Polish it would sound completly different and whole thing would be constructed differently cause literaly Zawsze in Love completly in Polish would be Zawsze w Miłości. But that sounds retarded .

Oxford dictionary states that:

zawsze =always / invariably
na zawsze =forever / for keeps /for good

Seconded. That manga had little fanservice moments, but I still enjoyed the story 100%.

Actually I liked how good it was without resorting to fanservice and other gimmicks. Then again...it was axed so maybe a little fanservice would have saved it...

That's what I mean, it was so good, it made me forget that it didn't have fanservice. If it got canceled because of that, than the author's weaker-willed than I thought, sacrificing good story for the usual manga stereotypes just to sell.

I loved the plot so to me...If a little fanservice saved it then I wouldn't mind. Even One Piece has fanservice and there's no mangaka better than Oda. you gotta remember that, even if you have a great plot and good art...shounen JUMP is still a teen manga.

[MAX_COLA_POWER!]

That is true, and it's ok if a manga has a few tropes here and there, but Nisekoi just swamps it. I mean, promise between childhood friends, yakuza, tsunderes, nice girls, gender bender'd characters, school, slice of life, I'm like, jeez, PICK A FEW ALREADY AND MOVE ON!

[Aesthetic Shampoo]

Well, tropes are tropes because they work well.

[Chandalen]

True, but they need to be used in a careful, well planned manner to make them not detestable. This feels like "stick hand into trope hat and pull out what to use for story" which is what makes it frustrating to some.

We'll see how this plays out soonish I hope. If it stays in the direction it was heading several chapters back, or remains in a holding pattern, then I'll be pretty meh to it.

Spoiler for 29:

Chitoge is as cute as always. =)



Chitoge puts her key in...

Spoiler for 29:

Trololololololololol.



Raku talks with Chitoge's grandpa.

He confirms that Raku and Chitoge often played with each other when they were little.

Spoiler for 29:

And that, there is a third girl.

This is turning into Love Hina.

Spoiler for 29:

Wonder if she used too much force (nervous) or if it was simply too old. Tried to find a picture how Onodera's key looks like, but could only find the handle. Wouldn't be surprised if her key turned out to be the same as Chitoge, except different handle

[DarkRaven]

lol i bet that third girl is none other than Kosaki .. i don't think there will be a new girl .. well one never knows haha

no one think Tsugumi is the third one ?

As I said before in this thread. That if he made a promise to both of them in the same place, then it probably will be something like "once we adult and open this lock, you will pick one of us as your wife".
Now all we need is to wait for some more drama and stuff to happen. However I don't give it more than 10-20 chapters, unless they will add some new drama and twists. The story is kinda resolving itself. I don't want it to get screwed up like most stories where it goes over its advised life time.

Or maybe, whoever gets to open the lock first wins?

Promise can be variaton of any of that, considering all those childhood promise mangas I read.
However Chitoge key is KIA unless she will repair it (her driver that is).

[Aesthetic Shampoo]

Hey, this is great! The mystery of the promise and the girls are cleared, so the romance can go in aaaany direction now

[Lexxus]

I really like the extra pages. She's hot and sexy

[Shadow5YA]

I'm hoping for a harem end. At least that way, Onodera stands a chance.

[aswad]

aww come who wud want onodera when you can hav a girl who loves bananas and enka music lol

and bad tempered, which easy to swing her punch, foul mouthed and also have a lot of henchmen ready to take out your life anytime she want to

doctor mode: ON
Mr.Patient, I'm sorry to inform you, that you infected with Maso-virus

two girls, one promise, to meet each other and opened the locket. Look like Kirisaki is the one Raku mean, but the key holder is Onodera. It mean, the three must opened it together.

I also heard there's a locker that have two keys for one keyhole, the two keys must be combined together to be able to unlock the locker, may be Raku's locket also one of it?
