3.5/5
La primera mitad del este volumen (45-53 capítulos) se centra más en el conflicto entre Raku y Chitoge que tuvieron en las vacaciones en la playa.
Ambos se malinterpretan y terminan por no hablarse durante varios días, hasta que las cosas explotan; entonces todo se vuelve aún más turbio. Al mismo tiempo, el festival de la escuela también se hace presente, y los de su clase están planeando hacer una adaptación de la obra de Romero y Julieta.
Obviamente los primeros en ser tomados en cuenta son Raku y Chitoge, pero ella, al estar indiferente con él, rechaza el papel y quien lo toma en su lugar es Onodera. Bastante conveniente, ¿no? Pero no hay que cantar victoria tan pronto. En resumen, ella se lastima un pie y entonces Raku tiene que tragarse el orgullo y pedirle ayuda a Chitoge.
Tras hablar realmente sobre cómo se sienten, ella acepta y es cuando los vemos envueltos en una versión de la obra que me sacó más de una carcajada. Y vaya, no es que la “escena de Romeo y Julieta” sea algo original (de hecho, creo que no hay ningún anime/manga donde haya una pareja en la que no recurran a esto), sin embargo, el autor supo cómo escribirla de tal forma que fuese memorable. Sin duda fueron de mis capítulos favoritos en el tomo.
Así pues, en la segunda mitad, Chitoge, al ya aceptar que sí gusta de Raku, se da cuenta de que, al fingir una relación, prácticamente es como estar en una. Y esto desencadena más preguntas que respuestas acerca de sus sentimientos sobre él.
Ya al final, Raku tiene su pendiente de vuelta y todos los involucrados quieren respuestas. Pese a ello, si alguno se atreviera a intentar abrir el candado, eso significa que debería de romperse pues al parecer “hay algo dentro atorado”. Así que deciden posponerlo de momento.
En fin, la verdad es que este manga es una maravilla. Normalmente no leo mucho RomCom, pero eso me tenía riendo como imbécil. Me encanta el estilo del autor y aunque la historia está llena de clichés que he visto sinfín de ocasiones, tiene algo que me mantiene interesada. Definitivamente Chitoge tiene mucho que ver en ello, pues es mi chica favorita. Pero también tengo que darle crédito de que la forma en que lleva a los personajes, ese slow burn + enemies to lovers es lo que me hace disfrutarlo más.
¡Vamos por el siguiente volumen!

Volumen 5

This was a lot of fun! There was tons of emotional pain, but it worked out alright. I look forward to reading the next one! 5 stars. Oh, and I'm very impressed by how true the anime is to this manga.

Not as good as the other volumes but still cute!

Volume 6 of Nisekoi is where the plot takes a HUGE leap forward. In the midst of the normally zany harem antics, the different hints at some characters feelings are explored more, and finally move the plot forward, at least a little. And it is kinda cool in it's heartwarming aspects.
As the story begins, Raku, not realizing that Chitoge has truly fallen in love with him, badly hurts her feelings, so she refuses at first to take the role opposite him in their class's school festival production of Romeo and Juliet. So Onodera takes her place and this seems to be great for Raku. But he can't feel entirely happy because he is bothered by the fact that Chitoge is upset and giving him the cold shoulder. He can't figure out why she is upset, or why he cares about that.
Eventually things got resolved in a big way and, though Raku has no clue she is in love with him now, Chitoge and him get back to the increasingly comfortable camaraderie they used to have.
Everything fans have seen before was in effect here. The crazy antics, humor, and the slowly (and I agree with some that it moves reeeeaaaallly slowly) moving plot. But here, with some new revelations, we can at least see some encouraging signs of story progress that make this one of the best volumes of the series that I have read at this point.
And the humor in this one was great. The actual play was a hoot to read. Anything that could happen did, and the "artistic license" the characters took in-universe given how they couldn't get things perfectly were funny.
The only really bad thing, other than the agonizingly slowly moving plot (which isn't so bad in this volume), that I don't like is I wish the mangaka, Naoshi Komi, would give us more variety on the art. Some of the folks in the story look too alike other than their hair, and so on. It's a tad generic and I'd like some differentiation. It's kind of like how Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent sans glasses look too much alike at times, for instance. That problem is in effect here.
I can't wait for the next volume, and I gotta say that I am rooting for Raku/Chitoge at this point, with Raku/Tsumugi as a close second. Raku and Chitoge are so adorable.
Great work on this volume and Highly Recommended.

This volume has taught me to be careful with my words, because although it may be unfair of others to expect me to say what they want to hear, that doesn’t give me the right to say things that might come off as hurtful to others.
Also, it’s a little weird to see Chitoge so infatuated, but I’m glad Raku is starting to care for her. I just don’t like how he ‘likes’ Onodera too 🙄🙄🙄

With Volume 6, Nisekoi delivers what is, in many ways, its strongest entry so far. The narrative tightens its focus, honing in on a single character dynamic with far more structural clarity than previous volumes. It’s intimate, emotionally layered, and thematically coherent. That said—there’s a caveat. This volume centers around the most overused trope in high school romances: the Romeo-and-Juliet school play. Now, let’s be clear: the trope itself isn’t inherently bad. But there’s something maddening about how consistently and unimaginatively it’s handled in both Western and Japanese media. The formula is always the same: the intended actor gets injured at the last minute, and by some narrative contrivance, the protagonist (or their love interest) is forced to step in. It was tired the first time, and by the millionth repetition, it becomes little more than an eye-roll in narrative form. Nisekoi even doubles down on it: first, Kosaki sprains her ankle, then Marika gets sidelined, so of course Chitoge has to step in. And yet—despite how utterly worn this setup is—the execution is genuinely excellent. The play itself descends into delightful chaos. Chitoge and Raku, true to form, throw their scripted lines out the window and start bickering mid-performance. Shu gleefully derails the plot, injecting wild improvisations and meta-commentary, Seishirou loses track of her role entirely, and the whole thing spirals into a stage invasion via Claude’s pursuit. What could’ve been a generic romantic moment becomes a dynamic, self-aware spectacle—funny, unpredictable, and bursting with energy.
What makes it work is that the play isn’t just an excuse for physical connection. It functions as an external metaphor for the growing emotional intimacy between Raku and Chitoge. And it doesn’t stop there: Raku re-performs the play later with Kosaki, even though she wasn’t able to participate the first time. That moment is used to show his sensitivity—his willingness to grant her a small wish simply because it matters to her. It’s sweet, understated, and reinforces how important she is to him in a quiet, grounded way. But the real heart of this volume lies in its emotional core—particularly Chitoge’s arc. For the first time, we see her raw, unguarded vulnerability. After realizing she’s truly fallen for Raku, she hesitantly asks if they might work as a real couple. Raku, thinking she’s just teasing in their usual style, responds playfully. And then comes that moment—her outburst. Her scream is one of the most emotionally resonant scenes in the series so far, not just for what she says, but how it’s shown. The framing, the timing, the composition—it all lands perfectly. You feel her heartbreak, her frustration, her helplessness. It’s the first time her pain isn’t filtered through tsundere outbursts or comic pacing; it’s real. What makes the scene so powerful is that both perspectives are valid. Raku isn’t being cruel; he just misreads the moment, responding to her as he always has. But because she finally let her guard down—just once—it hurts all the more. Their eventual reconciliation, built on open conversation and a sincere apology, feels earned and cathartic. It’s a rare moment of emotional maturity in a genre often content with endless near-misses and misunderstandings.
Visually, Chitoge’s development is mirrored in the subtle changes to her expression and posture. She smiles more often—not the performative kind, but quiet, genuine ones. Even her fights with Raku carry a softness that wasn’t there before. Their rhythm has shifted, and you feel it in the way they move through scenes together.
This volume doesn’t reinvent the series, but it refines it. It shows how far these characters have come, not through dramatic plot twists, but through emotional clarity and earned vulnerability. Even with a tired trope at its center, Volume 6 manages to be funny, heartfelt, and honestly a little bit beautiful. I can’t wait to see where it goes from here.

I used to know who I was rooting for in this series and now I really don't. Every girl is wonderful, and more than one girl would make a nice fit for him as a real girlfriend - if there ever can come a time when he doesn't have to pretend to be in love.
This series had started a little slow. Now I'm feeling like we're getting thrown some of the typical trope episodes - the school fair, the class trip, the weird misunderstanding thing that every harem anime has. These could come off feeling like filler (and they do somewhat) but at the same time there is some wonderful character development slipped in that makes me forgive the nonsense. The story moves forward very slowly, but it does move.
I'm definitely going to keep going, right along with it!

The end of summer brings several awkward moments and steps back in Raku and Chitoge's relationship. I do like that Kosaki took a step back after the end of the last volume and was like wait I should not have said that out loud. It brought the girl code back. Ruri quietly pushes her towards Raku, which I have mixed feelings about. I like she is so supportive,but also like he has this thing with Chitoge, leave it be, but again I belive she knows its an act so it's kinda ok but yea.
The school festival was fun, and I loved Shu's narration and everyone else jumping in was funny as well. I also like that Chitoges anger and awkwardness were mostly resolved by the end and hopefully it stays that way rather than this back and forth where nothing really moves forward.

I really like this series, the author does a wonderful job with keeping you hooked. This was my favorite book so far, because of what happened in the play. The only thing that annoys me about this book is that whenever they’re about to confess or get anywhere, something happens and everything is lost! IT’S SO FRUSTRATING!!!! Anyways, the book is pretty realistic, I just think they over exaggerate some things to make it funny and entertaining. I’m looking forward to finishing the series!!

So I've only read the first 8 manga (these are all rereads for me haha) but this one is my favourite. There's one particular scene with Chitoge and Raku that I just love and Chitoge's development in this is great.

Occasionally, I begin to think the story is about to improve, but then, the author tries his hand at humor again and I crash back to earth. His brand of humor is boy's locker room humor and it's not even particularly good for that venue. Six down and eleven to go, sigh!

Forgotten where I got up to though.)
DNF - There's nothing wrong with this cute manga, I just lost interest/became busy with other things in life.

This was super cute compared to previous volumes - a little less funny and a little more dramatic.
There was decent plot building, so I kinda enjoyed it.

This was a good volume. Many of the characters emotions are explored on top of having some funny moments mixed in. For a harem story this one is checking off most of the boxes.

~4/5
So the cliffhanger from the last volume was quickly resolved into nothing, disappointingly, though not surprisingly. I was hoping, but oh well.
Then the plot goes to a typical high-school scenario--a school play, of Romeo and Juliet. Which is also turned into a comedy troupe, but is very entertaining. Meanwhile, there’s a surprising development with Chitoge’s feelings. The lock-and-key plot is still going nowhere fast.
And then there’s another echi high school moment, though not nearly as bad as the one in volume 2. This one features Raku sneaking around as the girls change, though nothing too-horrible is shown. And that one ends with more comedy. And we end with a cute horoscope-based chapter between Onodera and Raku.
This series is hilarious and adorable and ridiculous and harem to the extreme, and no matter what, I love it. I will be starting the next volume immediately.

This series just keeps getting better. I really love reading it. I've even got my fiance' reading it with me, although he's only on V3 right now.
------------------
The class is putting on a play, and our star couple is chosen to play Romeo & Juliet. Of course, Chitoge has just realized her true feelings, and doesn't want to be around Raku, so she refuses the role of female lead, Juliet. The class draws straws, and Onodera is chosen to be Raku's Romeo's Juliet.
However, while helping a stagehand break her fall, Onodera sprains her ankle, leaving the class without a Juliet for the play. Raku immediately thinks of Chitoge, and runs to find her. The two make up, and Chitoge performs amazingly as Juliet alongside Raku's Romeo.
--------------------
There's also a story about Raku and Onodera's belief in horoscopes, and how they can change your fate.

It's been a while since I last read a volume of Nisekoi, but my perception of the series hasn't changed much after a few weeks off. In volume 6, the art and comedy are as cute as ever. There's a production of Romeo and Juliet in the middle of the volume that's laugh out loud funny, and a few other nice moments, too. The forced drama between Raku and Chitoge at the start of the volume is almost painfully boring, though, and there's a beat-your-head-on-the-desk stupid scene regarding Raku's pendant and the girls' keys. Plus, the last story in the volume, centering on Onodera, totally falls flat. I'm hoping this is just a dull volume, since I have volume 7 waiting for me across the room, but it seems like it's about time for some sort of bigger plot development than we got here to hit this series.
