Description
When Raku Ichijou was younger, he and his childhood friend made a promise: he’d keep a locket and she’d keep the key. When they reunite and open the locket, they would get married.
Now that Raku is in high school, he’s an ordinary teenager -- except that his family is part of the yakuza gang, Shuei-Gumi! They’re currently in a bitter rivalry with Beehive, and even though Raku wants nothing to do with gang life, he’s suddenly forced to be the beau to Chitoge Kirisaki, the daughter of Beehive’s boss! Now Raku is tangled in multiple love affairs as more girls come forward in his life with a link to his locket -- but which one truly has the key to his heart?
(Note: “Yakuza” is a term referring to organized crime groups in Japan, similar to mafias.)
