Series overview

Nisekoi Manga synopsis

Raku Ichijo hopes to find the girl he promised himself to as a child, identified only by a pendant and a key. Instead, the son of a yakuza boss must pretend to date the combative Chitoge Kirisaki to prevent gang warfare. More girls with possible keys enter his life, turning a staged romance into a crowded, funny, and increasingly heartfelt question of who he truly loves.
