First Thoughts: Nisekoi

Nisekoi follows the life of the life of Raku Ichijo, the son of a notorious gang. As a child he made a promise with a girl to one day meet her again. As proof of this promise, she gave him a locket, and kept the key for herself. Throw ourselves some 10 years on and Ichijo has entered high school. Now enter Chitoge (the girls on the right), a new transfer student who immediately hits it off with Ichijo, literally, I mean literally kicking him in the face. The two immediately are at each others necks. That is until Ichijo's father forces him into a relationship with a rival gang's daughter to freeze a turf war. Guess who the daughter is, go on..
The anime itself is produced by Shaft, who also animated Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei and Arikawa Under the Bridge. The story, so far, goes as you might expect a series of this genre to go, and so far has me rather entertained. If you're looking for a fun, romantic comedy with a side of guns and gangs, Nisekoi is definitely the show for you, but still a decent watch if you're just looking for entertainment.
