Tachibana Marika — memorable quote from Nisekoi: False Love

“I’ve always been wondering, even though you’ve been treating me carefully like a princess, are you just trying to keep your distance away from me? You praise me so much and belittle yourself, so I feel that you’re trying to keep your distance away from me...”

“She was stolen away before I even realized I liked her.”

“The days I spent with you were a lot of fun. I realized for the first time that it makes me so happy to be needed by others. I thought I'd get along well with you like this. But I can't. I was being a jerk. While I was with you, I was looking at someone else. I kept it to myself even after realizing that. I was taking advantage of your kindness.”

“Aki, you can't lie when you confess to someone. I'm trying to comfort you know, but if I just wanted to comfort you, I won't confess to you. I confessed to you like this because I really like you. But I do find it a little annoying how you fidget around like this, and I really hate you for blaming yourself and regretting your actions. -- and I really hate you when you said that a girl, who summoned all her courage to confess to you, is lying.”

“I'm sorry for not saying this to you, Akihisa-kun. I know I shouldn't hide this from you, but I was wondering whether I should tell you this. Because if I told you that, you'll definitely tell me "you should go", or something like that. I understand you'll say that for my sake, but I don't wish to hear you say anything like a farewell to me, Akihisa-kun. Because-- I like you, Akihisa-kun!”
