Nisekoi:

Raku Ichijō (Kōki Uchiyama) is an average high school student, well apart from being the sole heir to a Yakuza family known as the Shuei-gumi. Ten years ago Raku symbolised his love for a particular girl by giving her a key to a special locket that he keeps with him. But when the attractive yet violent Chitoge Kirisaku (Nao Tōyama) transfers to his school, Raku suddenly discovers that Chitoge is the heir to a rival family and and the only way to prevent a war between the two gangs is to pretend to be engaged to Chitoge.

Now in Nisekoi: (season two) Raku returns to his hunt for the key to his heart (locket) with the girls in tow, but with a new girl entering the equation will Raku's search be even more complicated?
