Let’s get this out of the way first and foremost. I don’t care or rather it doesn’t matter about the first girl is the winner ordeal. It’s all about the story structure and how it was presented. It doesn’t need to have that some sort of rule if the story don’t work that way. What really matter is the development and its characters, because people need to remember that development exist.
There are people that are willing to damage the story so long they get their pairing to occur. In other words, who care if it ruins the moral, the buildup, the foundation, or anything that connects to good writing, if they can get their pairing to happen.
Comparing to Naruto is an absolute joke and insulting to Komi and his work Nisekoi. You don’t need to hate a pairing or be that biased to know that the romance aspect of Naruto is among the worst in Weekly Shounen Jump. Yes, it’s not the focus of the series, but when it comes to having it in as a subplot, it’s done incredibly poorly.
First of all, compare to the characters and their traits, such as tsundere, because that’s how you do a comparison. In fact, that’s why people want Chitoge to lose because she’s a tsundere. It’s a reminder that it’s still a thing in Japan, even though in reality, we all have a choice on what love interest ends up with. I often joke that people may have a big ego trip from Naruto that entering Nisekoi could lead them to another win. Well, if you do go by the standards of “not knowing what to do since I am a rookie” that Naruto brought, then you’re in for a rude awakening.
Second, if the first girl lost is a new excuse, then whatever, I have no business on telling them what to do. However, if this is a trend that has been around, then I wouldn’t know. Truth be told, I barely follow the tropes or anything because I just follow what the writing is telling me. I won’t say that every story is top notch if ignoring the “been there done that” materials, but I think it’s just there to remind “they did it,” like an encyclopedia of what The Simpsons already did.
So the comparison with Naruto and Nisekoi is rubbish because one was done right by its standards and the other one is done horrifically. Funny that you asked me because I just got back from random tour of mine of seeing what to do and what not to do for video reviews, so seeing someone’s review of The Last remind me everything on what was wrong. Till this day, I still find that movie awful and even if by normal standard of a fan, it’s really not good. I know there are fans that is more go with the ride then cumulate the entire package, like Erased for instance, but when you are in the latter, you’ll see the greater picture.
As for Nisekoi, well, I don’t want to go over thoroughly, but I will say that I find it to be enjoyable and I can see why people got disappointed, but the hate is really exaggerated. To be honest, I find this series more hyped to me than Bleach at the moment and I recently caught up with Nisekoi. I followed Bleach for perhaps 12 years yet I feel like it’s just ending. I have to comment this: I feel that Nisekoi managed to do a come back that Bleach and Naruto failed to obtain in their final hours.
I can go on but needless to say, at the very least, Nisekoi is going to end good while the others, well, yeah. I actually found the latest chapter riveting. I was bewildered that this type of chapter even happened. Well done. Feel free to ask anything else. Bottom line is this:
-Don’t worry much on concept of first girl lose
-Comparison is done by traits, not tropes
-Naruto romance isn’t that good at all
-Nisekoi is thumbs up from me
Thank you for asking.
