Synopsis

When Raku Ichijou was young, he made a heartfelt promise to his childhood friend that if they were to meet again, they would marry each other. Ten years have passed since that fateful day, leaving Raku's memory of her faded. But he still holds a relic of their relationship together—a locked pendant, which his childhood friend holds the key to. He hopes to reunite with her one day, despite not remembering what she looks like.

Now a first-year student at Bonyari High School, Raku attempts to live a normal life, dreaming of becoming a public servant and marrying his crush Kosaki Onodera. However, this isn't as easy as it seems, as he is the unwilling heir to a large yakuza family, and Raku can't escape from his duties when the American Bee Hive gang wages war on his family's turf. In order to forge peace between the two feuding families, Raku is forced into a fake romantic relationship with Chitoge Kirisaki, the beautiful daughter of the Bee Hive's leader. The two quickly come to hate each other, but have to learn to live together and pretend to be deeply in love in order to keep their families at bay.

However, Raku's quest for the key to his pendant isn't becoming easier as more girls—who were all involved with his pendant in some way—enter his life. Join Raku as he juggles his false relationship, maintains the balance between warring families, and unravels the identity of the girl who will unlock his heart.

Really it was a good read in the beginning it felt like a drag to read through those some filler like chapter and the early story development, but in and all it too was funny and enjoyable, yet kept me indulged and made me read till the end.

overall its a very good story with a very interesting plot of 5 friends pursuing there ten year old emotions of love for the one person, the confessions and rejection were sure justifiable but they could have done it better.

But still the ending was really good, overall the story was a blast and a good read, I would ...

Mixed Feelings
Nisekoi is the first Manga I have read that made me wish that MAL subdivided ratings with a 0.5, because I would probably give Nisekoi a 6.5 if I could. There are a lot of fun and sweet moments throughout the series, and all of the characters are fun. On the other hand, it doesn't feel like Nisekoi ever really achieves its potential with it's premise. The series centers around two teenagers who are both the children of Yakuza gang leaders. Unlike say Spy X Family which never lets you forget that they are a Spy Family, while reading Nisekoi it is very easy to ...

English (Translated with www.DeepL.com)

The great enemy of Nisekoi is its overlength. It lasts longer than it should, in itself, the base is interesting enough to have given a good story, of reference we have the One Shot, which in its few pages reaches the same conclusion as its serialized counterpart after more than 200 episodes "What the One Shot does not have this tangled plot of discoveries and revelations?” Better

The story when not engrossed in its repetitive arcs or weekly filler, is focused on the mystery surrounding the girl with the key. Of course there was interest at the time in deducing who the promise ...
