Nosebleed Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 If Marika uses her illness to try and guilt Rako to fall in love with her that would be pretty damn scummy thing to do. Quote
monkeysrumble Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 That's exactly what she doesn't want to do. She wants to earn Raku's love, not out of pity, that's why she kept it a secret and in this chapter Honda is the one telling Raku, not Marika. This is also probably why she's so straightforward and why even her dad wants them go get married soon. Quote
Kosakyun Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 That makes sense, honestly I completely forgotten that she was keeping it a secret. I don't think I give Marika enough love. Quote
Nosebleed Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 People often hate her for being obnoxious and for trying to get in other people's way but how can you blame her when everyone around Raku is as dense as a brick wall, she's just fighting for her love, it's not her fault the rest of the girls are complete dunces when it comes to actually approaching Raku.

Nosebleed Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 More spoilers for the next chapter while a translation isn't out: it's a full blown Marika chapter. Marika took Raku to a stranded island and the whole chapter is just her trying to seduce him, looked quite fun (until the very end that is). Quote
Soulless Watcher Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 A harem show where someone dies? Now that'll surprise me.  I still hope not. Marika's one of my favorites. Quote
Nosebleed Posted May 9, 2015 Author Posted May 9, 2015 Chapter 169 Â Really fun Marika chapter, it kind of feels like the sequel to the latest anime episode which was also all about Marika. I am very pleased with this. But that ending is seriously concerning, now we have to wait another week... much despair.. Quote
brawlbankai Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 One ticket for the feels train please.  The latter half of the chapter gave me feelings of bittersweet sadness.  I got a little bit teary eyed when Marika said that she'll have no regrets.  I don't think she'll die, but this chapter is making me question that belief.

Nosebleed Posted May 9, 2015 Author Posted May 9, 2015 My hope is that this "little time" she has left is because she has to undergo treatment for her illness or something and it will force her to move from Japan so she has to do what she can right now. Â I really would hate to see her actually die. Quote
monkeysrumble Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Nisekoi always seems like it's picking up in tone but every time it seems like it's going somewhere it all of a sudden abandons ship and returns to where it started. Yet I always in the back of my mind expect a major development. It's honestly quite incredible. Â Anyways I think it'll be an emotionally intense story arc but by the end everything will be back to normal, but I kind of hope that I'm wrong. Quote
Ritsu Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 I don't want Marika to dieee ; u ; Â She's not my fav girl, but she's better than gorilla girl. And please say Marika won't die ;-; Quote
Soulless Watcher Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 My hope is that this "little time" she has left is because she has to undergo treatment for her illness or something and it will force her to move from Japan so she has to do what she can right now.  I really would hate to see her actually die. The death of characters no longer affects me, even if a writer kills off a character they will always live on in fan's doujinshi and fanfictions........ OH and also hearts, that too. (EHM) However! I'm getting sick and tired of "plot convenientitis", is it really that hard to look up a disease/infection/birthdefect/std that is similar to what you are aiming for storywise and just throw in a line, like "it's a mutant strain" by the doctor to cover the discrepancies. Without a name to the condition it just feels forced and really takes me out of the story. It's advertising that the only reason the character is suffering is because the author wills it to create cheap drama. I know this is nisekoi and I shouldn't really be looking for quality literature, it's just something that really grates on my nerves. Quote
Kosakyun Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Beautiful chapter. I am ashamed that I didn't quite get that problem immediately. Marika's great, yeah. No doubt about it. Â I'm betting that everything's gonna be okay in the end. For Marika, that is. About her sickness, of course. Â But for now, Suntan Lotion yay! Quote
Nosebleed Posted May 10, 2015 Author Posted May 10, 2015 I wonder if Raku will actually give her a proper date next chapter, though I'd feel kinda bad that the illness is what triggered it because that goes against what Marika wants.  We'll see. Quote
Kosakyun Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 I would just like a chapter where Raku would do something for Marika that would make her happy. Something small, just something man. Raku pls. Â I would want him to spend his island getaway with Marika properly. Quote
Nosebleed Posted May 10, 2015 Author Posted May 10, 2015 I'm pretty sure she's happy as long as he spends time with her without being all "ew get away from me". Quote
Kosakyun Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Exactly. I hope he doesn't keep on pushing her away. It's becoming really annoying. Â Can't believe I'd find a bigger fag than I. Quote
TehRealOne Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 If the mangaka does decide to do his usual and make the situation go back down to status quo, I'm expecting the illness to be something rather minor but Honda is just overly concerned. Either that or there is some treatment for it which prevents Marika from being MariDead. Still if they do kick Marika off I believe it would symbolize that the series is reaching a conclusion(Marika has been such a huge part of Nisekoi for a long time).

Nosebleed Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 Things are looking really bleak for best grill Chapter 170 spoilers The summary for the next chapter mentions Marika started having spasms during the night. Here's the page in question. Translation by me: ...Please Just a bit longer.. Just endure it for a bit longer.. (Just for...) (Just for right now...!) With Raku-sama... Quote
brawlbankai Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Ugh... I don't think my heart can take this... Quote
Kosakyun Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Good thing my shit internet won't let me open spoiler buttons today! Quote
Tyrael Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Sooooo  the story actually developed a bit? wow...  edit:  Nisekoi 2.0 - Your Plot Can (Not) Advance. Oh reddit Quote
Nosebleed Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 Chapter 170  Komi... Komi pls no  Seriously anxious right now. Quote
