A disappointment compared to the wonder that was Double arts. I'm going to wait to see if it survives for more than a few months before bothering to read any more.

I think it's a little early to call it a disappointment, yeah?

I'm glad they're doing this, but I am not tech savvy and can't figure out how to read the chapter. Sad The link to download their manga browser leads to a Page Not Found and the Download Now button makes me download a file that my computer can't open.

I really hope this gets over here, though. I really like Naoshi Komi's style, and a yakuza/gangster romcom sounds right up my alley. Anime smile

Yeah, the program link is broken on their manga page. The correct one:
http://www.shonenjump.com/file/browser/MangaBrowserforSHONENJUMP40th_JPN_Installer.msi

found on the top level page http://www.shonenjump.com/e/mangaonline/

you can just run/double-click the MSI on a Windows machine to install it
The installer and app is in Japanese though. It should set up a file association for *.sva files so when you click on the Nisekoi manga link, you can open the nisekoi01_en.sva file with the Sharp MangaBrowser app

But it doesn't work for me.. It displays the manga briefly then it disappears and only shows the dark background. I tried on a WinXP and Win7 x64 machine. Not sure if I need to use a JP locale..

Same.

I loved the unconventional restrictions in DA (having to physically stay in contact with someone at all times). Nisekoi, to me, just comes off as too generic...
