Parents' Guide to Nisekoi

Parents need to know that Nisekoi is a romantic comedy anime series based on the Nisekoi manga series created by Naoshi Komi. The series centers around a teen boy and girl who are forced to date to keep their parents' rival gangs from warring with each other. Expect to see some cartoony violence, including physical altercations, blood, use of swords and guns, and explosions. One scene shows gang members firing guns and running with swords while explosions are seen in the background. There's a running gag where a character frequently gets hit and sometimes blood droplets can be seen. Overall, most of the violence is slapstick and used for comedy purposes. There are a few suggestive scenes, including one where a boy gets trapped in a girls bathhouse; no nudity is shown. There are also a few shots that focus on girls' short skirts, their busts, or their outfits. Language includes "crap," "piss," "hell," "damn," bastard," "ass," "bitch," and "goddamned." Some adult characters are shown smoking. Raku can be a good role model and his desire to leave behind his family's criminal lifestyle and improve his life is admirable.
