Synopsis

Raku Ichijou, a first-year student at Bonyari High School, is the sole heir to an intimidating yakuza family. Ten years ago, Raku made a promise to his childhood friend. Now, all he has to go on is a pendant with a lock, which can only be unlocked with the key which the girl took with her when they parted.

Now, years later, Raku has grown into a typical teenager, and all he wants is to remain as uninvolved in his yakuza background as possible while spending his school days alongside his middle school crush Kosaki Onodera. However, when the American Bee Hive Gang invades his family's turf, Raku's idyllic romantic dreams are sent for a toss as he is dragged into a frustrating conflict: Raku is to pretend that he is in a romantic relationship with Chitoge Kirisaki, the beautiful daughter of the Bee Hive's chief, so as to reduce the friction between the two groups. Unfortunately, reality could not be farther from this whopping lie—Raku and Chitoge fall in hate at first sight, as the girl is convinced he is a pathetic pushover, and in Raku's eyes, Chitoge is about as attractive as a savage gorilla.

Nisekoi follows the daily antics of this mismatched couple who have been forced to get along for the sake of maintaining the city's peace. With many more girls popping up his life, all involved with Raku's past somehow, his search for the girl who holds his heart and his promise leads him in more unexpected directions than he expects.

Super Mario Maker is now eight years old and what better way to commemorate it than to review the anime the video game advertised in the form of Event Courses, Nisekoi: False Love. It's really funny since "Nisekoi" literally means False Love so the full title would actually be False Love: False Love. As a matter of fact, if you type False Love into the search bar, your first search result will point towards this anime.

True to the title, this anime is all about the main character Raku Ichijo being placed in a fake relationship with a transfer student named Chitoge Kirisaki. This is to ...

Mixed Feelings
One of the most popular and iconic romantic comedies of its era created pretty big impact with its whole ‘love triangle’ thing. There is a girl with a certain promise, and another one that ‘invades’ the life of the main protagonist (Ichijou Raku) and they both need to pretend they are dating each other, in order to keep peace between their gangster families.

Both girls (Kirisaki Chitoge a.k.a. Princess Gorilla, and Onodera Kosaki) have its own charm, which divides the viewers into two sides, each rooting for one girl or the other. The problem starts, when the show starts introducing new girls and each has her ...

I feel like I’ve seen this show before. Not like deja vu but more like everything is the exact same to every other rom com on this list. Every character I've seen before. Every plot point I've seen before. They just changed the packaging. That’s how I feel about most of these shows. Why is the mystery element ‘which one of these girls was my childhood friend?’ and why is this a common plotline? Who cares? That was when you were a child, even if it turns out to be a completely different girl it doesn’t fucking change your current feelings so I don’t know ...
