Plot edit

Raku Ichijo is in high school. He does not like violence and is studying to fulfil his aspiration to serve the public. Chitoge Kirisaki is a transfer student and new to the school. She accidentally knocks Raku down. Normally, that would be that; except each is respectively the son and daughter of local Yakuza gang members. There is going to be trouble unless they act as if they are going steady. It is not going to be easy because they dislike one another.[7]
