Nisekoi — Season 1
Raku Ichijou carries a heavy secret: as the last son of a powerful yakuza family, he’s bound to a legacy he desperately wants to escape. Ten years ago, he made a heartfelt promise to a childhood friend—a promise symbolized by a locked pendant, its key lost when they drifted apart. Now a teenager, Raku just wants a normal life, but fate has other plans. When an American gang encroaches on his family’s territory, he's forced into a fake relationship with the daughter of their leader, hoping to diffuse the tension. The problem? She sees him as weak and easily manipulated, while he finds her intimidatingly wild. *Nisekoi* chronicles the hilarious chaos that ensues as this unlikely couple navigates their charade. As Raku’s past resurfaces, bringing a host of other girls into his orbit, his quest to find the girl from his childhood—and unlock the truth behind their promise—takes him on an increasingly unpredictable journey.
