A Love Dodecahedron? More Like Love Chaos!

Oh Nisekoi, how you tangled our hearts in knots! Raku Ichijou’s love life is like a giant bowl of tangled spaghetti—messy, complicated, and impossible to pick just one noodle. 

If you’re anything like me, you were probably screaming at your screen as he got yanked between multiple girls, each one with her own adorable quirks and traits. It’s like a love triangle that somehow turned into a love dodecahedron by the end of the series!

So, let’s break it down: who should Raku have ended up with? We’re looking at the main contenders here—Chitoge, Onodera, Tsugumi, and Marika. Spoiler alert: I’ll be advocating for the ultimate anime solution at the end, so keep reading for that hot take! 

Chitoge Kirisaki – The Tsundere Bombshell

Ahhh, Chitoge, the queen of the tsundere! You either love her fiery personality or you hate how she punches poor Raku into oblivion half the time. But under that fierce exterior, Chitoge is actually super kind-hearted and crazy protective. 

Plus, who can forget how their fake relationship started the whole wild ride? While Raku and Chitoge had plenty of explosive moments, you could totally see those secret feelings simmering beneath all the yelling. She’s tough, she’s gorgeous, and let’s be real—Raku never gets bored with Chitoge around!

Kosaki Onodera – The Sweet Childhood Friend

Kosaki is basically the girl next door dream come true! She’s shy, soft-spoken, and her crush on Raku is literally the cutest thing ever. Childhood friend romances are a classic trope, and Onodera fills the role perfectly. 

But, let’s face it—her indecisiveness and inability to confess her feelings for most of the series made us frustrated. Still, it’s hard to not root for Onodera. She’s the one Raku’s had a crush on for ages, and their childhood promise adds an extra layer of feels to their bond. Will the boy-next-door finally realize his dream and end up with Onodera? That’s the eternal question!

Seishirou Tsugumi – The Loyal Bodyguard

Tsugumi is basically the ninja bodyguard waifu of our dreams! Not only is she a total badass who can protect Raku with her life, but she’s also secretly shy and adorable when it comes to love. 

Watching her try to balance being a skilled bodyguard while crushing on Raku is a hilarious and heartwarming journey. Sure, she didn’t get as much backstory with Raku like Chitoge or Onodera, but let’s not forget the tension between the two every time they were alone! Tsugumi might have started off as a bit of a wildcard, but her loyalty and unexpected romantic side make her a strong contender!

Marika Tachibana – The Devoted Fiancée

Talk about dedication! Marika basically comes in guns blazing, fully committed to being Raku’s future wife—and she’s not taking “no” for an answer. Her confidence and bubbly personality definitely stand out from the rest of the girls. Not to mention, she’s literally engaged to him thanks to a family arrangement. 

But unlike the others, Marika doesn’t hide her feelings—she’s up front about wanting to marry Raku, like, right now. While some fans might find her over-the-top, her straightforwardness is refreshing compared to the never-ending misunderstandings with the other girls.

So… Who Should Raku Have Chosen?

Okay, okay, so after diving into all these lovely ladies, the real question is: who should Raku actually have chosen? And my answer? ALL OF THEM! I mean, why not go for the ultimate harem ending? 

Let’s face it, each of these girls brings something amazing to the table—Chitoge’s fiery passion, Onodera’s sweet charm, Tsugumi’s loyalty, or Marika’s unwavering devotion, they're all to die for.

With so many wonderful waifus in his life, it’s basically impossible for Raku to pick just one (and let's be real, neither could I!). A harem ending would solve all the love triangle chaos and give every girl the spotlight she deserves. C'mon Raku, don’t be selfish—share the love, harem style! 

Final Thoughts – Why Not Pick Them All?

And that’s it! The tangled web of romance in Nisekoi leaves us wondering how anyone can survive a love life this complicated! Chitoge, Onodera, Tsugumi, Marika—they all have their charms, and honestly, we wouldn’t mind a harem ending where everyone gets their happy ever after.

So, what do you think? Who should Raku have ended up with? Or are you on board with me for that ultimate harem win? Drop your thoughts, and let’s keep this waifu debate burning in the Otaku Box anime community!
