Nisekoi Plot
Nisekoi is an anime TV series that has the mix of comedy and romance. It follows the story of Raku Ichijou, an unwilling heir to Shuei-Gumi, a Yakuza family. Ten years before the main story of the series, Raku promised his close childhood friend that they are going to get married if they see each other again in the future. After ten years he made that promise, he still keeps the locked pendant that sealed their promise to each other. The key that unlocks the pendant is still with the girl he made the promise to.
In the present, Raku is now a first year student at the Bonyari High School. He tries to live a typical life despite the pressure he receives from his powerful and criminal family. Being a normal teenager, Raku dreams of becoming a public servant and narrying Kosaki Onodera, his high school crush. Unfortunately, his dreams will have to wait as he is demanded to uphold his responsiblities as the heir of a powerful Yakuza family.
