Before getting any further. I want to warn you that this article includes some spoilers. So don’t go any further if you haven’t watched it and are planning to watch it soon.
What is Nisekoi
Nisekoi is a Japanese word meaning “Fake Love”. Basically, the whole story is about the fake relationship between two characters, Raku and Chitoge. Now, who is Raku? Who is Chitoge?
This series is based on the shōnen manga series which is a book launched in 2011. And it was loved by many readers around the world. After its success, it was picked up for anime series. And in 2014, the first season was released and loved by all anime lovers around the world. Soon after its success, season 2 was created and released in 2015 because of public demand. But after that, there is no sign of a new season from the creators of Nisekoi, even though anime lovers want it.
What was the Background of Nisekoi Seasons?
Our first character, Raku Ichijou, is the son of a gangster of a group known as Shuei-Gumi. He is a simple and honest boy. Raku has a locket that he wears around his neck given by his childhood friend with whom he has made a pact and wears it to remember that pact.
Raku is searching for the love of his life, with whom he wishes to spend the rest of his life. Then we have Kosaki Onodera, Raku’s middle and high school crush. The girl of his dream, and she is the one who gave him that locket. Kosaki Comes from a much humbler family than Raku.
Then we have our second character, Chitogi Kirisaki, whose father is the boss of the rival gang, Beehives.
To end this rivalry, both gangs have decided to engage in raku and Chitogi. And now both Raku and Chitogi have to pretend that they are in love with each other to maintain the peace between the two gangs which is a very difficult task for both of them because they don’t love each other at all.
A more complex situation happened when they find that there are multiple keys to that locket. Becoming difficult for Raku to find his true love. In his quest of finding true love, he finds a book that explains the existence of keys and helps him recall the incident that happened almost 10 years ago.
Season 2 of Nisekoi
In these two seasons, we saw the introduction of quite a few girls and Raku also fell in love with them. But the big question arises, who will he choose to be his life partner? Who is the promised girl that he will spend the rest of his life with? Will it be Marika, Onodera, “Gorilla” Tsugumi, Haru, or Chitoge?
The season had 12 episodes, unlike season 1’s 20 episodes. We got introduced to Haru, the little sister of Kaski. She had the pendant, and she is also interested in Raku. Her backstory is not discussed.
Later in the season, Raku gets the pendant from her when he has to look after her when she gets the flu. In the final episode, Chitoge finally fell in love with Raku and is trying to confess her feelings for him. And the end of this season is really confusing, as we don’t know who will end up being the promised girl who will become the love of Raku’s life.
Nisekoi: False Love
Raku mostly dreams of the day when he will meet the love of his life. The childhood friend with who he had made a pact, and had a locket, and the girl of his dream has its key to unlock it.
The movie was released in 2018 and the director of this movie was Hayato Kawai. It was mainly based on the same story as the anime series and the manga book. By the release of this film, the fans of this series got good news, season 3 of Nisekoi Anime might be their next project.
Nisekoi Season 3
The Nisekoi: False Love didn’t get much popular as the anime series, but it did give fans the good news that the next project might be season 3 of the Nisekoi. But the studio that developed Nisekoi season 2 in 2015, released many other series since 2015, and more anime series are lined up for development and release, but there is no news of Nisekoi Season 3. Have developers decided to neglect the Nisekoi season 3?
But fans around the world are hoping that they will release one or more seasons of the Nisekoi series because it was a huge success when season 2 was released back in 2015. The fans are hoping that the new season will come out in 2022 or 2023.
