Nisekoi (Nisekoi: False Love) Review

I recently watched an romantic comedy known as Nisekoi (Nisekoi: False Love). Nisekoi (Nisekoi: False Love) was a manga written by Naoshi Komi adapted into an anime. The anime had 2 seasons with 20 episodes in the first and 12 in the second. Overall, I thought Nisekoi was an okay romantic comedy anime. However, it wasn't the best as there are other romantic comedies that I've seen that were much better. Oh yeah and I will be discussing the ending so.

********************************SPOILER ALERT*********************************

Summary
Raku Ichijou is the sole heir to the yakuza family. Ten years earlier Raku made a promise to a childhood friend. Raku wants to live a normal teenage life as well as pursue his crush on Kosaki Onodera. However the American Bee Hive Gang invade his family's turf and things change. Raku must now pretend that he's in love with Chitoge Kirisaki the daughter of the Bee Hive's chief. Raku and Chitoge hate each other and Raku is still trying to find the girl he made a promise to.

How it Could be Better
Obviously there are plenty of areas this anime can definitely improve on. The story jumps around a lot and can be hard to understand what's going on. I also don't understand why Raku doesn't like Chitoge. Yes she may be cranky and mean but she's the tsundere type. In a way I think she's pretty cute. The ending definitly needs improvements as it just leaves it off with a cliffhanger. Chitoge does have feelings for Raku which is known however like many stories, the manga runs longer and is probably better than the anime.

My Conclusion
I would give Nisekoi 3.5/5 stars or a 7/10 score. It has it's ups and downs but there are overall many other romantic comedies which are much better. I like Chitoge as the tsundere but there are plenty of other tsundere anime which are better and end much better. I think the biggest thing was having little character development and the ending which ruined the anime. Some better tsundere anime are Shakugan no Shana and The Familiar of Zero. Two examples of better romantic comedies are Golden Time and Love Chunibyo & Other Delusions.
