Romantic comedies in manga are always a treat, especially when they involved out-of-control circumstances and gang warfare. Nisekoi, a new print manga series from VIZ Media, features a young man who must pretend to be in love with the daughter of a rival gang leader.

Nisekoi-GN01

From VIZ Media:

It’s hate at first sight – or rather, a knee-to-the-head at first sight – when Raku Ichijo meets Chitoge Kirisaki! Unfortunately, Raku’s gangster father arranges a false love match between Raku and their rival gang leader’s daughter, who just so happens to be Chitoge! Raku’s searching for his childhood sweetheart from ten years ago, however, with a pendant around his neck as a memento…but he can’t even remember the girl’s name or face!

Volume 1 of Nisekoi will be available in print on January 7th, 2014 (MSRP of $9.99 U.S. / $12.99 CAN). The first six volumes are currently available for digital download through the VIZ Manga App. Nisekoi, by Naoshi Komi, is currently serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump.
