SynopsisAs a child, Raku Ichijo 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?

First impression: I hadn't laughed that much since Seto no Hanayome. This manga is really hilarious, and by what is seen on its One Shot it will get more action as the story keeps moving forward.
Story: Is some sort of reversed Romeo and Juliet story style, since here two rival families, a yakusa and a gangster one, leaders' want to settle a peace treatment by joining their respective heirs; a guy and a girl than can't see each other with out beginning a ruckus... but that somehow managed to maintain the masquerade to prevent a war between the families.
Art: I can't give it a 10, but it's really good quality and fits perfectly the story.
Characters: The chemistry between then is awesome...
Enjoyment: ... What do I say... I'm still laughing.
Overall: This is a great manga that you surely will enjoy.

Unlike most romances that run in Weekly Shonen Jump (classics include I''s, Ichigo 100% and To Love-Ru), this series focuses more on comedy than on being an ecchi series.
The story is not 100% original but that's to be expected since the use of love triangles is a pillar of shonen romances, yet still manages to be amusing and good to read as a general romance.
The artwork of course is less "romance" and more "slice of life" and it fits surprisingly well with the story which is made even more amusing by the characters.
This manga might not make your top 10 list, but it is worth a shot if you want to try and get into shonen romance manga. Of course it isn't 100% harem/ecchi free but out of all the shonen romances I have read it's the closest one to being so. read more

The basic premise of both of these romantic comedies involve promises made between childhood friends and the misunderstandings that follow.
Making a manga is like making a cake... you just need the recipe. But to make a great one, you need your own secret ingredients! Comparing these two harem manga, you see many similarities: Both start with a promisse... then come the girls, so you can choose your style...
Narusegawa = Chitoge = explosive girl
Shinobu = Onodera = cute girl
Motoko = Tsugumi = fighter girl discovering her feelings
Kitsune = Tachibana = smart girl xD
They have many similar girls, but each of them are unique in their own way! Wich make both great mangas! =))
Nisekoi is pretty much the same damn thing. Minus the setting. And the likeable characters.
Similar plot with promises in childhood, with lots of misunderstandings

Light-hearted romantic comedies that often use misunderstandings between characters to drive narrative and character development.
Both are romantic comedies revolving around traditional misunderstandings between characters to spike suspense.
Say one to remove the elements of fiction in Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa... Undoubtedly, it would result in a manga parallel to Nisekoi, each one revolving around its male protagonist and his love struggle. Taking into account both are romantic comedies, they focus on the development of very few characters which practically define their relatively simple story along with its atmosphere of lighthearted raillery and romantic tension
They are both comedy and romance manga. The comedy in both mantas are hilarious and it mostly revolves around the guy.
