~4/5
Of course, there are a lot of comedic, light-hearted moments here. The group goes to a bath house accidentally together, then they come together to clean the school pool. But there are also a bit of serious developments happening.
Surprisingly, the biggest plotline goes to Shu. We find out he has a crush on their teacher, who’s marrying and leaving the school. This really shows the friendship between Shu and Raku. Shu tends to hide how he really feels by joking around, while butting into Raku’s life. But Raku can tell when something’s bothering him, and he’s there to push him, and again when he’s upset. I was a little surprised by how little Ruri had to do with this plot, actually.
Then Raku gets amnesia. This is both hilarious, because everyone freaks out and he’s so innocently sweet with no memory, and potentially plot changing, depending on what memories he gets back. I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes (even if I suspect it’ll be anticlimactic).
This series is always fun, and I look forward to the next one.

Interesting insight into Shu. Poor guy, with the unrequited love and all. Raku won Haru over a bit more, and he got his pendant back, which is good. Also, he now has

I thought Ruri would be his crush. They have good chemistry. But it was Ms. Kyoko, the teacher, who's quitting her job to get married (a bit old fashioned if you ask me).Spoiler
amnesia! I wonder what'll happen there. He and Chitoge are so cute! I think I might like this Raku a tad bit better than his normal self, lol.ksd1441's review against another edition

I truly only skimmed this volume. This story is falling down hill, and fast. It started so strong and there was really good character development. All the relationships had a steady progression and exciting tension. Now it's just a mish-mash of one-offs that go nowhere. Sure, we get a few nice backstories here and there, but it's still not worth it anymore. So many things are overplayed and overdone. I'm sick of reading the same thing over and over for the last few volumes from Nisekoi. Count me done.

El volumen 10 abarca de los capítulos 81 al 89, y aunque ya vamos prácticamente a la mitad de la historia, se ha ido en picada a una velocidad impresionante.
El autor ya sólo está enfocándose en meter clichés por donde quiera y se vuelve algo tedioso el hecho de que no hay un crecimiento en los personajes ni una historia como tal. Todas las chicas siguen enamoradísimas de Raku, pero seguimos sin averiguar nada del pendiente y la llave que lo abre. Y él, por supuesto, no ha mostrado señas de declararse a Onodera (quién supuestamente le gusta), o dejar libre a Chitoge.
A mi parecer sólo son capítulos random, llenos de fan service que no aportan nada a la historia. Vaya, y es que aunque en este volumen Maiko, su mejor amigo, tiene un poco más de protagonismo, tampoco es algo que no haya visto, por ejemplo, en Toradora! Y muchas otras historias que tienen más de 10 años, y a las que se les dio mejor desarrollo en su momento.
Pese a ello, sí hay algo interesante y eso es que en los días anteriores a que Chitoge cumpla años, Raku pierde la memoria. Así que, todos a su alrededor tratan de ayudarle a recuperarla. Ahora, lo que rescato de aquí es que, si no fuera tan terco y orgulloso, él admitiría que de verdad le gusta Chitoge y viceversa.
No sé si sea porque ya no soy una adolescente y me he vuelto sumamente exigente con lo que leo y veo. Sin duda, me he alejado de todas estas historias que vemos continuamente en los animes y si esto no mejora en los próximos volúmenes, voy a terminar droppeando esta serie.

There is a dark part of me that wants to consume nothing but Japanese high school comedies. Supernatural or high-concept makes it even more irresistible. Seen from a position of good taste, these books are garbage, but I am willing to acknowledge that I neither read nor review books to look sophisticated.
So here we are, 10 volumes into this zany harem comedy centered in theory around a true love locket and two rival gangs kept from fighting by having their offspring date. Neither is really addressed in this volume, and I don't really mind.
The characters are just too darn likable. If there's one thing I appreciate about popular Japanese protagonists in these stories, it's that they're often neither the smartest guy in the room who's also an asshole, nor are they some mega-talented person who is still somehow an underdog. Raku only really has two things going for him: He's super nice, and he can cook well. Having the protagonist be good at a few things and mediocre at most else actually makes it seem more grounded and interesting.
This volume also features the staple of manga comedies, the bit where the protagonist sees one or more of the girls naked and freaks out about it. In this case, it's at a bath house, as most manga publishers must have a stipulation about the appearance of a bath house. The protagonist has to freak out, because if he was cool with it, we would have a completely different sort of manga on our hands.
In spite of myself, I was amused by the amnesia chapters. It's a tired trope already worn out when the Flintstones did it, but in this case it helps highlight the absurdity of Raku's situation at this point. Long running comedy manga often stack characters like firewood over time, so it's fun to take a step back and realize that he's got a half dozen women with a crush on him at this point. At this point, I think it might behoove the creator to add at least one other guy to the mix.
Hilariously, I think this series still might fail the Bechdel test.
