This series is still very much in the Shaft style.
But compared with Monogatari it's very downplayed. There are less "crazy perspectives", Every background is drawn in detail, there's less awkward screen cutting, less "unique" animation sequence, less usage of contrasting colors and less abstract stuff zooming.
I think it's a matter of relativity. Monogatari is downplayed compared to Despair after all. Sasami-san might be at the level of Monogatari, but Hidamari and Denpa were definitely below it. So, compared with Hidamari and Denpa, the difference isn't so noticeable.
But it's probably true that something fairly mainstream and not off-kilter like Nisekoi isn't suited to Shaft. External pressures, etc., etc...
(It might also be true that Monogatari is to blame for increased number of 'erotic' perspectives Shaft has used.)
