While most major anime publishers in the US have adopted the half-season or complete series approach to publishing anime, Aniplex of America occasionally decide to undertake a release style comparable to Japan with a small set of episodes per volume, which are released months apart. One of the series receiving this sort of treatment from Aniplex is Nisekoi: False Love, which has to date received one quarter-season release, with a second set to hit store shelves later this month.
During their Otakon Vegas panel last weekend, the North American published details their plans for the third and fourth volumes of Nisekoi: False Love. Featuring the latter half of the anime series by SHAFT, Aniplex of America have confirmed that Volume 3 will be released on March 31st and Volume 4 will be available a couple of months later on May 26th 2015. Both volumes will be available exclusively on Blu-ray, and with an SRP of $64.98 include a handful of extra on-disc and physical coodies.
The Nisekoi Blu-ray: Volume 3 will feature episodes 11-15 with the original Japanese audio with English subtitles. This volume’s bonuses will include the clean ending sequence with all the characters shown, and the clean version of Marika’s ending sequence. Bonus materials will include the ending card pin-ups, a deluxe poster, and a collectible Weiss Schwarz promotional card by Bushiroad (while supplies last). The slip-case will feature art by the Character Designer and Chief Animation Director, Nobuhiro Sugiyama.
Volume 4 will include the final 5 episodes (16-20) of the series. Bonus contents exclusive to this volume will be the textless second opening sequence, textless Heroines Version ending, and textless Chitoge and Kosaki Version ending. The final volume will also include a deluxe poster, collectible ending card pin-ups and a Weiss Schwarz exclusive PR card from Bushiroad while supplies last.
Both volumes are now available for pre-order through selected anime retailers. For a synopsis of Nisekoi: False Love, divert your eyes below.
Synopsis
“The girl I made that promise with ten years ago…Was it you?”…
On their way home from buying Chitoge’s birthday present, Kosaki shares her secret scenic overlook with Raku. In the heat of the moment, Raku asks Kosaki the one question that he’s been meaning to ask. Kosaki answers by nodding yes.
“Have you ever heard the phrase ‘Zawsze in love?’”
After her birthday party, Chitoge confesses to Raku that she too owns a key. Raku is shocked when Chitoge mentions a very familiar phrase. 2 girls…2 keys…Which one could it be?! Raku finds the one photo he took with her ten years ago, but the girl in the photo is neither Kosaki nor Chitoge. She was Raku’s fiancée chosen by their parents.
“I’ve missed you all this time!”
Just when things couldn’t get any more complicated, a girl named Marika, who claims to be Raku’s true fiancée, transfers to his school adding 1 more key to the puzzle. Will Raku ever be able to find the one girl? Which girl holds the key to Raku’s locket and to his heart? What will happen to this false [NISE ] love [KOI]?!
