Raku Ichijou is a first‑year student at Bonyari High and the sole heir to a feared yakuza clan. Ten years ago he promised his childhood friend, and the only thing left of that promise is a brass pendant with a lock—its key was taken by the girl when they separated.
Years later Raku has grown into an ordinary teenager who wants nothing more than to stay away from his criminal lineage while attending school with his middle‑school crush, Kosaki Onodera. But when the American Bee Hive Gang invades his family's territory, Raku"s dream of a peaceful romance is shattered. He must pretend to be in love with Chitoge Kirisaki, the beautiful daughter of the Bee Hive boss, to ease tensions between the two groups. The truth is far from this pretense—Raku and Chitoge despise each other at first sight; she sees him as a weakling, while he finds her more like a wild beast than an ideal partner.
Nisekoi follows the daily shenanigans of this unlikely pair who are forced to cooperate for the sake of city peace. As more girls linked to Raku"s past appear, each new face brings memories and secrets that complicate his mission. He searches for the woman who holds his heart and keeps his promise, but the path takes him through unexpected detours of love, duty, and danger. Despite the chaos, Raku clings to the hope that love will guide him back to his childhood promise. The city"s streets echo with the clash of loyalty and affection, making every step a test. Raku"s journey becomes a tapestry of fleeting moments, each thread woven with the weight of family honor and personal desire. Through laughter and conflict, he learns that destiny is not a fixed path but a series of choices.
