If a girl hits a guy first, that guy has every right to retaliate back.

Could you please stop spouting such vile horse-shit? Everyone has a right to defend themselves from injury, but that does not entail the right to retaliate. I'm a 6'6', 260 pound guy. Are you telling me that if a woman - who is likely to be far smaller than I am - hits me, I am justified in hauling off and punching her? Were you dropped on your head as an infant? How does somebody come to hold such repugnant values?

have you tried Mashiroiro Symphony, Leatherhead?

Let's agree to disagree.

Or thinks he is. From what the show gives us, it comes off as just shallow physical attraction. Does he even know her that well!?

*headdesk* People ALWAYS say that! This shouldn't be treated as a blind date gameshow if the original material wasn't based on a game! I don't get it: good romance stories aren't about "omg who will win!?" It's about "we know these two will get together but HOW does it happen?" It's about the mystery of the journey, not the mystery of "who is it." I'm perfectly FINE with knowing who it is from the opening/book cover. The build of said obvious relationship is what I'M here for!

But that's what civil people do! We can't have that!!!

Same could be said for Chitoge. She only makes Raku's heart go doki doki when she's being more 'feminine' than usual and makes him think she's cute.

Except the mystery of who owns the key for the locket is a major component of the plot. It's like having a murder mystery where you already know who the killer is. It's no fun if you don't figure it out for yourself.

Interestingly though, he only noticed she was cute when they are being civil with each other. Remember they hated each other at first. But after seeing the better sides of her, he is now attracted. This speaks volumes to me over someone he thought was ALWAYS attractive.
Plus, didn't he say "she has her good points"? Also, the two communicate more...and he seems accustomed to her mannerisms?

but it really makes me think this symbolizes something really important because staff do not just throw in weird things like that in an OP.lol

His opinion of her is certainly increasing, but does that really have to lead to romance? They could just be, ya know, friends. That's a thing that happens, right?

This is SHAFT we're talking about. They throw out random imagery all the time.

Not like Chitoge is any more capable. Lashing out violently as a response to embarassment is something one should go to therapy for.

If a friend of yours was dating a guy who hit her over the smallest things, you'd tell her to get out of the relationship, right? Same deal here.

She is capable of starting AND holding a conversation with the boy! >_> She flat-out asked him "would it work out if we dated, you think?" That's miles ahead of Kosaki.

Yes because guys should not hit girls because girls are in general, more easily hurt. Which I don't think is a sexist thing to say, it is in our genetic make-up, afterall.
But I don't get why you're treating the hitting thing so seriously; it's slapstick. Do you see Raku walking around with black eyes or bleeding nose for the remainder of the episode? The guy himself doesn't seem to treat it seriously; other than call her 'violent girl'. But her beatings don't have a long term effect on him at all. It's a joke.

Kosaki asked if she could kiss him........

Raku actually looks kinda good in his outfit
