Nisekoi, Vol. 19



Nisekoi: False Love, Volume 19 sees the title finally picking up after a sensational Volume 18.  That volume ends with Chitoge's father announcing that he is going to take the family and move out of the area, ending the false love.  Of course, that doesn't come to fruition.  In fact, Chitoge isn't in large parts of this volume, which features a date between Raku and Onodera and Raku and Maika being stranded on a deserted island near the International Dateline.

There have been some mediocre volumes out of the 19 I've read, approaching 4000 pages total.  I've only read more of Hunter x Hunter.  This isn't one of them.  Sure, Nisekoi is silly; it's light.  The highlight of the volume is Raku and Onodera holding hands.  It's starkly different from Inio Asano's The Girl on the Shore, which features graphic sex.  The humor isn't even that advanced, mostly based on simple exaggerations of the character's facial expressions and slapstick.
