History Characters / Nisekoi

* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: Even though she is a hitman, she is afraid of scary things.

* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: Even though she is a hitman, she is afraid of scary things.

* TheBeard: He pretends to be dating Chitoge in order to keep peace between their families. He also does it for Marika when her friend Mikage visits. Then Ruri when she visits her great-grandfather. Then Seishirou when she has to infiltrate a cruise ship for a mission. He does this a lot is what we're saying.

* BoobsOfSteel: The most action-oriented of the girls thanks to her upbringing and the one with the biggest bust size.

* {{Bishonen}}: He is a very attractive man when his covers his front hair.

* {{Bishonen}}: He got more of his mother's looks than his father's, so he's prettier than Raku was at his age.

* DoggedNiceGuy: He fells in love with Hana [[LoveAtFirstSight at first sight]], but she wasn't interested in him and rejected his marriage proposal in their first meeting. He kept pursuing her until he won her over and she agreed to marry him.

* ParentsAsPeople: Contrary to the initial impressions, Hana does love Chitoge a lot. However, running one of the biggest conglomerates in the world leaves her with next to no time for her family and she doesn't even make good use of the little time she does have for Chitoge because of her InnocentlyInsensitive tendencies. The miscommunication between them has estranged their relationship, but with Raku's help, Hana and Chitoge can finally understand they do love each other.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's too cool and distant to show affection until Raku makes her see that Chitoge needs to know her mother does care about her. Once she confirms Chitoge does still love her despite the way she is, Hana allows herself to act as a loving mother for once.

* BookDumb: She even gets zeroes.

* SingleTargetSexuality: She has been in love with Raku all her life, never showing the slightest interest in anyone else. Of the girls that took the LovePotion that caused them to fall for Seishirou, she is the only one able to resist.

* UnrequitedLoveLastsForever: [[spoiler:Her part in the "ten years later" reunion from the onmibus rerelease shows that she and Tsugumi ''never'' got over Raku. She compares every man who propositions her to him, and despite having a suitor so devoted that he proposes 100 times, she still thinks he's nothing compared to Raku.]]

[[quoteright:260:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shu_05.png]]

List of characters in ''Manga/{{Nisekoi}}''.

* SenpaiKohai: She's a kohai to all the main cast.

* FashionDesigner: The epilogue reveals Chitoge has become a famous fashion designer and is touring all over the world.

* GenerationXerox: In the epilogue, Raku points out Chitoge's career as a FashionDesigner has her living the same lifestyle as her mother since Chitoge is traveling all over the world [[spoiler:and will likely have little time to spend with Raku even after they get married.]]

* AccentAdaptation: In the manga, she speaks in a rough and tumble variant of Tosa-ben. However, in the anime, she speaks Fukuoka-ben instead, likely because her voice actress, Creator/KanaAsumi, is a Fukuoka native. Either case works, as both Fukuoka or Tosa (located in Kyushu and Shikoku, respectively) would be considered backwater for someone born in metropolitan Tokyo.
* AccentSlipUp: Her native backwater-sounding dialect (Tosa dialect in the manga, Fukuoka dialect in the anime) is completely at odds with the cultured persona she cultivates, so she takes great care to speak like the others. It reverts when she's completely flustered, becomes angry, or being visited by a childhood friend from her home.

* ChangingYourselfForLove: Because Raku said he likes feminine girls with long hair, Marika let her hair grow long, changed her backwater regional dialect for {{Keigo}}, and spent the next decade training herself to behave like a ProperLady in hopes of winning Raku's love.

* {{Keigo}}: She usually speaks very formally, as part of her refined image. However, she'll [[AccentSlipUp slip back into her less formal native dialect]] when she's angry or flustered.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Tsugumi is the only girl in the UnwantedHarem who has been trained in combat and she also has the deepest voice out of the female characters.

* PeekABangs: Her hair covers her left eye.

* ShortHairWithTail: Most of her hair only reaches her chin, but two long "tails" are grown out on both sides.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Being a {{Tsundere}}, Chitoge is the mean one while Kosaki is the nice one and Marika is in-between.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The gentle Kosaki is the nice one while Chitoge is the mean one and Marika is in-between.

* BoobBasedGag:: The fact she's a {{Tomboy}} whose bust is the biggest among the main female cast is often used as a source of humor.
* BuxomBeautyStandard: Both boys and girls are often in awe at how big her chest is. When Raku gets locked up with her, he has a hard time not staring at them.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Marika is in-between because she's more open about her affection for Raku than [[{{Tsundere}} Chitoge]] yet she's pushy and mean-spirited unlike [[ShrinkingViolet Kosaki]].

* BrattyHalfPint: Oh so much. Granted, she's only a year younger than the protagonists, but her immaturity and irrationality make up for that. She eventually gets better thanks to CharacterDevelopment.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: He and Chitoge have endless romantic tension that sees no resolution after over 200 chapters. [[spoiler:Of course, TheyDo at the end of the series.]]

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Her relationship with Raku sees very little to no progress for over 200 chapters of the manga. [[spoiler:TheyDo in the end.]]

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She keeps her hair short for most of the series due to her masculine personality and job as a hitman. In the DistantFinale, she has long hair now that she has become more feminine and is working as Chitoge's FashionModel.
* FashionModel: The epilogue shows Tsugumi eventually ends up working as Chitoge's fashion model.

* GirlinessUpgrade: She becomes more feminine after her initial appearance. In the DistantFinale, Tsugumi has let her hair grow long and she's quit the life of a hitman to become Chitoge's FashionModel.

* HatesWearingDresses: She says that she avoids feminine clothes, including skirts and dresses because they are hard to fight in and are embarrassing to wear. Ironic since she becomes a FashionModel in the epilogue.

* VerbalTic: "Maa!", a light and rather posh interjection. The French version translated it as "Mazette!", which gives a similar effect ''and'' [[LuckyTranslation keeps the original syllable.]]

* GagBoobs: Her bust, being the biggest among the main female cast, is used as a source of humor from time to time.

* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Raku eventually finds out her gender on his own by taking her wet clothes off after they both fell in a pool, and Chitoge plainly tells everyone Seishirou is a girl. [[spoiler:Near the end of the series, Claude is also hit with this ''very hard''.]]

* MsFanservice: Notably in Chapter 148.

* BareYourMidriff: She wears cropped pajama in bed.

* InnocentCohabitation: She moves into Raku's house during her stay in Japan, something he's not pleased with considering Yui is now a young woman and not a kid.

* LasciviousBeautyMark: DoubleSubversion. Tsugumi has a beauty mark under her right eye despite being a masculine {{Bifauxnen}}, yet she's the bustiest girl in the cast which is more pronounced as she dresses femininely more often as the series goes on. She even becomes a FashionModel in the epilogue.

* BelligerentSexualTension: The more he argues with Chitoge, the more obvious it is that they like each other. Rui can't decide if they bicker because they're close or can't stand each other.

* ChastityCouple: With Chitoge. They barely even hug, although it makes sense because they only pretend they're dating for most of the manga. [[spoiler:Still, even after they become a real couple, it takes them ''years'' to get to first base.]]

* BelligerentSexualTension: She and Raku bicker about every single thing when they're together, yet they can't help to fall for each other as they keep hanging out. Rui can't decide if they bicker because they're close or can't stand each other.

* ChastityCouple: She and Raku may be pretending to be lovers, but things as innocent as hand holding and hugs are too much for them. [[spoiler:Even after years of being a real couple, they don't kiss until they're about to get married.]]

* FashionDesigner: [[spoiler:The epilogue reveals Chitoge became a famous fashion designer touring all over the world. Raku complains that he barely gets to see Chitoge because of this.]]

* FirstGirlWins: While she wasn't the first to know Raku (that's Kosaki), Chitoge is the first girl introduced in the manga and the first we see interact with Raku during their CrashIntoHello. She's the female protagonist and consistently gets treated as Raku's primary love interest by the narrative. In the end, [[spoiler:she's the girl Raku confesses his love to and marries.]]

* GenerationXerox: In the epilogue, [[spoiler:Raku points out Chitoge's career as a FashionDesigner has her living the same lifestyle as her mother since Chitoge is traveling all over the world and will likely have little time to spend with Raku even after they get married.]]

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She keeps her hair short for most of the series due to her masculine personality and job as a hitman. [[spoiler:In the DistantFinale, she has long hair now that she has become more feminine and is working as Chitoge's FashionModel.]]
* FashionModel: [[spoiler:The epilogue shows Tsugumi eventually became Chitoge's exclusive fashion model.]]
* FirstFriend: She and Chitoge didn't have any friends before they met each other. It's eventually shown they knew each other even before they met the rest of the main cast as children.

* GirlinessUpgrade: Became more feminine after her initial appearance. [[spoiler:In the DistantFinale, Tsugumi has let her hair grow long and she's quit the life of a hitman to become Chitoge's FashionModel.]]

* HatesWearingDresses: She says that she avoids feminine clothes, including skirts and dresses because they are hard to fight in and are embarrassing to wear. [[spoiler:Ironic since she became a FashionModel in the epilogue.]]
* HiddenBuxom: Wears clothes that hide how large her bust really is, then stops as the series goes on. Doesn't stop Claude from still thinking she's a he.

* TransferStudentUniforms: She wears the male uniform of her previous school thoughout the series. The reason is unknown.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Of the "it's easier to move around in men's clothing" type.

* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Shu is The Boke to Raku's and Ruri's Tsukkomi. His main role in the comedy is saying dumb stuff to annoy Raku and/or Ruri.

* ButtMonkey: Gets this treatment from several of the characters, usually Ruri or Raku.
* CameraFiend: Likes to take all sorts of (occasionally embarrassing) photos of his classmates. It proves useful when he reveals to Ruri that he took a picture of her smiling with her great grandfather [[spoiler:just before the latter died and she regretted not smiling on her last photo with him.]]
* CatSmile: Often has one, especially if something perverted is going on. [[spoiler:When it gets especially prominent, it's a sign even Raku can pick up on that he's hiding something.]]

* LoveRevelationEpiphany: [[spoiler:At the end of the manga, it's heavily implied Shu starts to fall in love with Ruri after she confesses to him. It's not specified how long it took him to answer her confession, but the epilogue shows them as a couple a few years later.]]

* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Ruri is the Tsukkomi to Shu's Boke. She smacks him whenever he says something dumb.

* PerpetualFrowner: Ruri does not smile.

* HookedUpAfterwards: [[spoiler:With Ruri. Near the end of the story, Ruri confesses to him, but Shuu isn't ready to give her an answer. Any development they had afterwards is left to the imagination, but the epilogue does let us know they eventually got together and are planning to get married.]]

* BeautifulAllAlong: She is definitely attractive normally, but can become even more so when she lets her hair down and removes her glasses.

** She tearfully regrets this in Chapter 209. Her increasingly horrified inner monologue is shown with every line as she realizes how wilfully hurtful she's being but just can't make herself stop lashing out.

* HookedUpAfterwards: [[spoiler:With Shuu. Near the end of the story, Ruri confesses to him, but Shuu isn't ready to give her an answer. Any development they had afterwards is left to the imagination, but the epilogue does let us know they eventually got together and are planning to get married.]]

* OppositesAttract: With Shuu. Ruri is blunt, cold and grumpy, while Shuu is cheerful, funny and a tease. It is, of course, just rumors and comedy. [[spoiler: Well, not really. Especially once it's confirmed she likes him in chapter 209.]]

* SatelliteCharacter: For the most part, Ruri is in the series to hang out with Kosaki and frequently prod her shy friend to be more aggressive about her crush on Raku. That said, Ruri does get a bit more focus to herself, mainly her ShipTease with Shuu, in later parts of the manga.

* WhenSheSmiles: Played with. Shuu gives her a picture he secretly snapped of a rare candid moment of her smiling right after she regretted not smiling [[spoiler:in the last photo of her with her grandfather just before he died]]. It's quietly hinted that Shuu liked seeing that side of her.

* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Shu is The Boke to Raku and Ruri Tsukkomi.

* BokeandTsukkomiRoutine: Ruri is the Tsukkomi to Shu's Boke.
