But she realizes that the sweet, gentle boy of the past has completely vanished, and in his place stands someone cold and pessimistic. Despite his extended absence, the fond memories they shared together still linger in her mind, and she wishes to return to those days. Little does Futaba know, her life will take another drastic turn when her first love, Kou Mabuchi, returns after his sudden disappearance years ago in middle school. Therefore, she starts acting unfeminine and indifferent to boys, allowing her to make some 'friends' along the way. After attracting many admirers back in middle school which resulted in her being shunned by her female classmates, she decided that high school will be her chance to revamp her image. While most girls desire popularity among boys, Futaba Yoshioka wants the exact opposite. Join Raku as he juggles his false relationship, maintains the balance between warring families, and unravels the identity of the girl who will unlock his heart. However, Raku's quest for the key to his pendant isn't becoming easier as more girls-who were all involved with his pendant in some way-enter his life. The two quickly come to hate each other, but have to learn to live together and pretend to be deeply in love in order to keep their families at bay. In order to forge peace between the two feuding families, Raku is forced into a fake romantic relationship with Chitoge Kirisaki, the beautiful daughter of the Bee Hive's leader. However, this isn't as easy as it seems, as he is the unwilling heir to a large yakuza family, and Raku can't escape from his duties when the American Bee Hive gang wages war on his family's turf. Now a first-year student at Bonyari High School, Raku attempts to live a normal life, dreaming of becoming a public servant and marrying his crush Kosaki Onodera. He hopes to reunite with her one day, despite not remembering what she looks like. But he still holds a relic of their relationship together-a locked pendant, which his childhood friend holds the key to. Ten years have passed since that fateful day, leaving Raku's memory of her faded. When Raku Ichijou was young, he made a heartfelt promise to his childhood friend that if they were to meet again, they would marry each other.

Slice of Life and Romance are incompatible by definition. Comedy requires Romance narratives to be focused on eliciting laughter, not only using comedy for lightheartedness.

For both tags, the drama should be focused not only on the relationship but also on the side storylines for example, one character overcoming the death of a loved one or a drug addiction. Since they are plot-driven stories showing humans experiencing romantic struggle, most Romance has some Drama inherently. 'Teasing' stories which do not narrate significant romantic development but have a conclusion should be tagged Romantic Subplot.ДЄ story can be simply Romance.

Open-ended romantic endings are only acceptable when the work is an incomplete adaptation of a Romance source. Romance stories require significant romantic development leading to some kind of conclusion: either to begin the relationship, continue it, or end it. Almost always, the story ends happily and the couple is rewarded for their efforts with lasting love. The narrative focuses on the thoughts and emotions of the characters, illustrating the connections between them and explaining their reactions to events or conflict. Falling in love and struggling to progress towards-or maintain-a romantic relationship take priority, while other subplots either take backseat or are designed to develop the main love story.
