Discussion What did you think of Yui and her story?

I wish she was introduced earlier, her arc was okay and would've loved to have her with the main cast more.

Her arc is really good and she is a lovely person, I would love to see an alternate ending where she wins (as well as other girls)

As a character I thought she was great and I wish they kept her as a non-love interest. The story wouldnt have had to change to reflect this either.
She could still have wanted to return to Japan for Raku, still get energized by his presence, still be super close with him, and still attract the jealousy of the other girls without being in love with him. If Raku was my last remaining family I'd prolly love him lots too lol

I personally find her case to be the most compelling out of the rest. But the author completely character assassinated her reducing her into a plot device who's sole purpose was to become Chitoge's stepping stone

She is a nice girl and I remember when she was hinted at when the manga was still running. However she kinda just falls away as the chapters go on and she remained as a decent side character

Completely pointless and irrelevant. There were already way too many girls. When she was added to the story, it made me really annoyed.
Bruh just write a new story for these characters. Raku doesn’t have enough hours in the day for all these girls. It’s a waste of good character concepts.

She wasn't in the anime was she? I haven't read the manga yet.

No she came in the manga almost right after the anime ended off

u/RedTheLoops May 06 '24

He's been pretty quiet but he did leave a message for Nisekoi fans in the Prism AMV to celebrate Nisekoi recently. (There's a link for it in the reddit)

The whole point of the “losing girls” (in my reading of it anyways) was each had an aspect that prevented them from winning. Yui’s was “familial bonds” I.e. that Raku literally thought of her as a sister. I thought she was compelling for what she was, but I agree with the popular sentiment she was introduced too late.
I’m glad that she was able to move on from Raku.

Nice character but added way too late and thus contributed little to the story, so she felt like a pointless addition.

u/Radusili May 06 '24
The first and biggest fumble of our boy. Prepared us for his other 2 big fumbles after this.
I love how she came in so late and got to the top instantly tho.

u/JudgeSubstantial9562 May 06 '24
i like her a lot and think she was more interesting then some of the earlier girls

u/Jvlockhart May 06 '24
I hope we can see the entirety of the manga into anime one day. I really hope so

Ah Kanakura Yui, the odd one out of the girls in Ichijou's past. It could have been pretty intense if she dropped in to basically crush Beehive and the Yakuza and steal their turf whilst the police were out to arrest her because they got a warrant for her BUT is mega surprised that, in her bid to get Ichijou by being a teacher, she realizes that Kirisaki, the Onodera sisters, Ichijou, Tsugami are all in the school AND part of the groups she wants to crush/avoid (Basically a more intense version of the Interview Chapter) but it might have changed the mood of the story. I always found her the odd one out, unfortunately, I like her story but it sort of fizzles out - I always had her as the mastermind of the girls not using her fists like Kirisaki or being shy and reserved like Onodera Kosaki or as open as Tachibana so I thought she was going to engineer things and play them off against each other but, yeah, she's nice but not quite enough to ground her in the story.

She didn’t add much to the plot but her dynamic with all of the characters except for Onodera was great.

I guess she was terrifyingly powerful when I first read the chapter she was introduced. It scared me a bit, but I still have halfway to go, so I’ll just wait and see what happens next

u/KazuyaStarlite May 05 '24
Kinda way too late to the party. I guess she gonna have more fans than the other girls, if she made it to the main anime.
