Nisekoi is a manga series that originally started off as a one shot from Naoshi Komi that released in January 2011. Komi then released the manga as a full series later on in the year, when it appeared in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump. Since 2011, 18 volumes have been released for the romantic comedy. Additionally a voiced comic has also been published- even a light novel series. Viz Manga has also picked up the series late 2013 for English localisation, translating and releasing it in Viz’s Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha. A anime adaptation of the manga aired from January to May in 2014, and a second season aired in the Spring 2015 anime season. The anime is produced by studio Shaft (Bakemonogatari, Mahou Shoujo Madoka☆Magica).
Nisekoi synopsis from Haruhichan:
“Raku Ichijou is an average high school student. He also happens to be the sole heir to the head of a Yakuza Family called the Shuei-gumi. Ten years ago, Raku made a promise… a secret promise with a girl he met. They promised one another that they will “get married when they reunite.” Since then, Raku never let go of the pendant the girl gave him.
Then one day, a beautiful girl named Chitoge Kirisaki transfers into Raku’s class. Their chemistry was more than off. There was not a moment where they were not fighting. But by a weird turn of events, Raku and Chitoge agree to become fake lovers. Although his heart is really interested in his classmate Kosaki Onodera, Raku must continue pretending to be Chitoge’s boyfriend.”
