As a child, Raku Ichijou made a secret promise with his childhood sweetheart, keeping a pendant as a memento while his love took the key. He dreams of one day meeting his past love, but years later, reality smashes his hopes when Chitoge Kirisaki accidentally knees him in the face... Though Raku’s a normal high schooler, his family heads the notorious yakuza gang the Shuei-Gumi faction! And he’s dragged into family affairs when he’s forced into a relationship with Chitoge, the daughter of a rival gang’s boss! Despite their constant spats, the two somehow fool everyone with their false relationship. Raku then discovers that Chitoge has a mysterious key from her past, which she can’t remember... Plus, two other girls appear with keys as well—Kosaki Onodera and Marika Tachibana! Caught in the midst of this love maelstrom, even more complications arise for Raku when his class decides on Romeo and Juliet as the class’s play for the school festival. Can the two false lovebirds pull off the impossible and make the play a success? (Source: VIZ Media) Note: Includes 11 extra chapters.

Read the full take
Nisekoi starts with a childhood promise and a bruised face. A high school student has a pledge he has never forgotten, and a chance encounter turns his life into a tangle of fake dating and family politics. The series leans into rom-com machinery: misunderstandings, rivalries and a love triangle that keeps circling back. The energy of the setup works, and the family side of the premise adds a sharper edge than most rom-coms bother with. The comedy is quick, and the cast plays off each other well. The honest criticism is that the love triangle stretches for a very long time, and the central question can feel postponed chapter after chapter. Some of the teasing gags lean on familiar tropes that begin to feel stale. Still, it is an accessible, lively romance that fans of the genre will find fun. If you want a light, busy rom-com with a memorable premise, this is worth a look. Be prepared for the scenic route.
