Nisekoi II

Oh, right...

I'm in love with someone now.

"From Now On"

Right now, I'm in love.

I've heard that when you're in love, the world starts to look totally different...

In my case, I haven't noticed any significant changes.

Good morning, uglyface!

Jeez, that's the first thing that comes out of your mouth?

Kindly cover that mouth of yours, will you? It's unseemly!

What?

It's just... When I see those winter uniforms,

it reminds me of when you kneed me that first day we met,

and it gives me the chills.

Speaking of getting kneed...

...is this what you're talking about?

Ouch!

What do you think you're doing, huh?

Your new girlfriend just showed up in her new uniform!

How about a little praise?

Oh, that's what you want?

You're cute. Yes, you're cute.

Not good, not good!

Why am I jumping for joy over such blatant lip service?

Oh, well, I guess I might have changed in some small ways.

Like feeling so elated over the most trivial things.

Hey. Ichijo and Chitoge.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Master Raku!

Good morning to you!

Raku Ichijo!

You bastard... how could you, when you have Young Mistress!

Like getting even more pissed at annoying things!

Whatever the case,

as you can see, the romance I'd always yearned for...

...is something I'm being forced to share with this guy.

Now then, how is this going to turn out?

Wait! Seriously, how is this going to turn out?

Hold up!

It's good that I know I'm in love with this guy,

Raku and Chitoge's NEXT STAGE

but what happens next?

If I like him, then does that mean, uh... that I want to date him or something?

In other words, not be his fake girlfriend, but his real girlfriend?

Mmm, that doesn't feel right somehow!

In the first place, what would we do if we were dating?

Like... walk home together after school...

stop for snacks on the way...

go on dates on our days off...

Hey! Isn't that the same thing we're doing now anyway?

Then does this mean that I...

...want this guy to like me, maybe?

Ichijo!

Come hither! Come hither!

Don't call me in that creepy way!

I have a feeling that's close.

But I don't know.

Somehow that just doesn't feel right.

Wait! What am I gonna do?

Now I'm getting seriously confused!

What kind of relationship do I want with him, exactly?

Hey, Chitoge!

What?

You got your locket back?

Yeah. Well, for what it's worth.

And I thought I should let you three know.

Oh, man! This makes me feel so complete!

Creepy.

I'm so glad for you.

That you got it back safe and sound.

Well, but the thing is...

All right, then, Master Raku!

Without further ado! Let's open up that locket with this key, shall we?

Hey, hold up a second, Tachibana!

Oh, where's the harm?

Now you'll finally know who your first love was.

Well, although it had to be me.

At last, we'll have proof that it was I who promised you my hand in marriage.

Come, come! You two standing there...

You're dying to find out as well. I just know it!

Listen to me!

Don't jump the gun like that!

Um, I...

I don't think... um...

That we need to open it just yet, you know?

Chitoge?

Well, because! See...

There's no need to rush into it, right?

It might be better to wait till things settle down.

And besides, this is just something that happened when we were kids, so...

What's with her?

Just the other day, she was all fired up to get to the bottom of it.

My, my, Kirisaki.

You must really be terrified to find out that you weren't his soulmate.

There, there, I understand.

What the...?! That's not what I meant!

I think I kind of want to know, too...

Kosaki?

If... No matter who opens it, see...

This was something that happened when we were kids.

So I do want to, you know, find out...

Actually...

That's why I'm telling you, hold up, hold up, hold up!

It's still broken, all right? This locket.

Hey, so long story short...

I got as far as extracting the stuck key and fixing it up.

But there's something stuck in the back of the locket,

and there's no way to open the lock by normal means.

I could get it out by smashing it open.

What's your call?

By the way, Shu, about that photo book...

Well, but if it's not fixed...

An autographed limited edition!

So anyway...

Don't break it! Don't break it! This is important to me, you know!

Anyway...

Eventually we might find a way to open it,

so I want you to wait till then.

And if we still can't figure it out,

and you think you just have to know the truth,

then let's bust this open and take a look inside.

I mean, maybe that'll give us a clue.

I suppose it can't be helped.

Not having to break it would be best, though, right?

Still, I wonder what it could be.

An object that can be placed in something this size.

You said we would take it out together when we were reunited, right?

Yeah.

An engagement ring, maybe?

You're all very funny.

Jeez, I got all nervous for nothing!

What are you gonna do to make up for this letdown?

Hey, I tried to tell you guys right away!

But... If we'd gotten the locket open,

what in the world would've happened?

If my key had opened it...

If... my key hadn't opened it...

If I just went on having feelings for him,

and then found out later that I wasn't his soul mate,

how would I feel, I wonder?

I-I know!

This was something that happened when we were kids.

But I can't stop thinking about it.

Hey, what am I gonna do? I'm starting to feel uneasy!

And I still don't even know how I want this to turn out!

How do I want it to turn out?

Do I want things to stay the way they are now?

Well, but unless I make a move,

he'll never realize how I feel about him, will he?

Hey, Chitoge?

What is it?

Look, don't you think you're acting kind of weird today?

When I saw your face, I thought, maybe...

But are you... just like I thought?

No way...

Don't tell me... He noticed?

How I feel about him?

I... Did my face really give me away?

No, no, no...

Not this moron of all people, no way would he...

Of course he's going to say something lame.

Seriously...

why didn't you say something sooner?

You're...

Hungry, aren't you?

I knew it!

I spend so much time with you,

I pretty much know what makes you tick now.

You have this intense look on your face over something,

but when you have that look, it's usually when you're hungry.

Come to think of it, you didn't have much for lunch, did you?

Oh, I get it.

You're on a diet, right?

You moron!

All right...

Oh, well!

I'll think about the complicated stuff later.

Hey, treat me to ramen again!

Why should I...?

Wait, so you are hungry after all!

Never mind that!

"Please Notice"

My lips are so dry these days.

Chitogecchi, don't you wear lip gloss?

Lip gloss?

Hold on a second! I'll lend you mine.

Ta-da!

I bought this lip gloss the other day.

You know, the kind that makes your lips all supple!

Go on, try it!

Okay!

Hey, you look totally adorable!
