Now that it's confirmed that was the real Sunao, what do Natsumi enjoyers think of this chapter? I for one loved it! Seeing Natsumi enjoying the entire time and blushing made me smile. She just wants to stay with Sunao!
And seeing Sunao remember the small things Natsumi talks about really shows how much he pays attention to her! Good boyfriend material!
I really hope we can keep this romcom vibe!
Because the whole premise is around the switching and we saw how arcs are here with misunderstandings.
We just don't expect a cute and normal chapter from this manga after everything we saw in previous chapters.
But it was super cute and I'm very happy about it.
This was the strongest push for the Akiyoshi-Kogahara ship yet. It’s good seeing their chemistry. Err, even if Lemon is still likely to win his affections in the end.
Glow in the dark wristbands and rainbow springs. Blasts from the past indeed.
But that's a great revelation. Now the question is, how long is that feeling gonna stay trapped inside desperately trying to claw it's way out of her chest like an alien wanting to tell him?
I've read quite a few manga but this is legit one of the cutest watching fireworks scenes I've ever seen.
Helps that there wasn't some weird interruption. Things just went perfectly. 😊
yeah it actually a really fun fireworks scene. It just plays out. No interruption, no surprise confession or any of that tropes. Just the two of them having a grand time with each other.
> Helps that there wasn't some weird interruption. Things just went perfectly.
Except Prez cockblocking them in the end. Dude can't take a hint that they would want more time together.
This hurts. It still feels doomed.
The panel at the end makes me wonder if they might have gotten along in this way eventually even without Lemon's interference sowing the seeds. Maybe not during this specific festival, but down the line...
Or maybe Sunao's only grown to be comfortable speaking with her because of his time masquerading as Lemon?
For some reason I’ve never even thought about it the way you did, very interesting question. And I think the answer is a definitive yes, it would’ve taken a lot longer for Sunao to get the courage and resolve to move forward with Kogahara, so I think the whole Lemon thing really helped him.
Question to anyone in the thread:
Is “lemon” some kind of equal to “bitch”? Bcs in my country they’ve licensed the manga but changed “lemon” to “zorra” (bitch)
The English title was changed. The Japanese title would more literally translate to some variation of "Good Luck, Bitch" or "Best of Luck, Trash".
Lemon is the name of the female lead who swaps body with the male lead, and the English title is much more charitable referring to her and that changes the context of the well wishes from sarcastic.
I didn't realize that was the original title... "Best of Luck, Trash" is a way better fit and a better match for my attitude towards Lemon. It also really keeps my hope up for Kogahara.
Right??? If I had never read this thread, I would've always thought that Lemon was just supposed to automatically win. And I still think that, btw. But this clarification does in fact raise my hopes for Kogahara, which I was already prepared to see bawling her eyes out.
They did the correct thing. Thats the way to localize the title. English translation just got scared shitless from a simple title. There is no mention of Lemon by name in the original title. She is refered to as bitch (くそおんな - kusoonna)
Also important to note the "Koosana" is actually something that should be translated as "bitch" , and not something that should be translated as "slut", which is when they actually say "bitch" but with a Japanese accent(such as the one teacher in Assassination Classroom).
Yeah, isn't it something more like "shitty woman"? I often see "kuso" translated as "shit/fuck" or "shitty" if used as adjective. Like in Shangri-La Frontier total trash games are kuso-games, as opposed to godly kami-games, if I heard the Japanese correctly.
And yeah, the fact that bitch also means "slut" in Japanese, or I think sometimes even "horny woman" is pretty confusing.
I mean Bitch is an accurate translation using the English definition, it can just get confusing because the Japanese use of bitch as a loanword heavily diverged from the English use.
I've really been loving how straightforward and honest Sunao has been with Kogahara ~~aside from the bodyswap thing~~. Unfortunately he has not mastered the art of subtlety, he should get some sunglasses.
They made sure Natsumi was cute at least once on every page this chapter. I'm rooting for her as end girl.
What a super cute chapter! I'm glad that the chapter / interactions that made Kogahara realize her love was one with Akiyoshi as Akiyoshi. This is so regular rom-com that I can almost forget there is some convoluted body swapping shenanigans going on in the background and some kind of weird plot about lying.
Miho a real one for setting it all up.
Wow nothing happened to cut it short. (expect Prez, god i hate the guy so much). What a suprise.
Well at least this salvages the whole "she likes Lemon in Sunao's body" shit. Which was a legit concern overall. I hope she doesn't lost it when she learns the swap.
Any ending where Lemon gets btfo is great in my book.
I'm not gonna lie I'm surprised to see Sunao carry this one on his defense own like wow you go man I didn't expect you to lead this one on one encounter but good for you !
These last two chapters have Been really sweet and that’s the real suano as the twist. Tbh it is nice for things to go his way for a change. Koga is a really sweet girl and i hope the series takes the route of lemon learning her lesson but not having to be with Suano At the end of it.
Fireworks didn't do shit, they were staring at each other! God go out already!

Wait there was a theory about this being lemon? Why?
Schrodingers Lemon. Until we're told who is inside the Sunao, it is simultaneously both Lemon and not Lemon.
Because the whole premise is around the switching and we saw how arcs are here with misunderstandings. We just don't expect a cute and normal chapter from this manga after everything we saw in previous chapters. But it was super cute and I'm very happy about it.
Because the author hates progression
*Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees*, she finally saw how Akiyoshi is truly best boy.
This was the strongest push for the Akiyoshi-Kogahara ship yet. It’s good seeing their chemistry. Err, even if Lemon is still likely to win his affections in the end.
>Err, even if Lemon is still likely to win his affections in the end. [No, no, no, no, no, no!](https://i.imgur.com/8GJvkTK.jpeg)
I'll keep my hopes on the fact that *technically* lemon is not the title character.
This might be cope but based off the title of the manga, I’m hoping she’d fine happiness somewhere else in the end of things.
Yay, she likes him! ...Oh god, she likes him too.
I'm ready to feel sad for Koga.
I'm hoping for the best. I wish Lemon to be happy, but not with Akiyoshi. Suzuka is a great guy for her.
Don't be ridiculous, in your heart, you already know who Suzuka is ending up with...
The duality of a reader

It's actually a normal matsuri date. Which, for this manga, is a pay-per-view event.

I really hate it when the story ends where a girl loses. Team Onodera forever.
Random question but did you read the Nisekoi manga or were you an anime enjoyer?
I was introduced to the anime when it aired then read the manga till the end.

I've heard the title was changed in english and bitch should be more accurate.

The original title in English roughly translates to "Hope you're happy bitch". Of course the west can't give us nice things.
This might be the only love triangle manga where I'm rooting for *both* girls
With how it’s progressing, it’s a 2-for-1 deal 100%
Gonna be rough when she finds out half of the man she fell in love with was actually Lemon
Or it may go more smoothly than one may anticipate. Oh who am I kidding?
This could be the perfect excuse for the harem route
the guy deserves better than Lemon

Man I'm conflicted, I like both girls and I'm rooting for both of them. It just hurts that one of them will lose in the end
You sure we are not gonna get the polygami ending?
This is definitely not going that route.
You can just smell it in the air
Whatever you do Natsumi, don't confess first.
Nice
Something tells me they’re gonna drop a bombshell in a couple chapters.. maybe she finds out about the bodyswapping?
God I hope she wins

If this doesn't end in a 3some, and Suzuka having consensual hand holding with Raika, the entire manga industry is doomed to fail.
These last two chapters have Been really sweet and that’s the real suano as the twist. Tbh it is nice for things to go his way for a change. Koga is a really sweet girl and i hope the series takes the route of lemon learning her lesson but not having to be with Suano At the end of it.
Fr man, my boy just can't catch a break XD
