Also known as False Love, Nisekoi, ニセコイ
Nisekoi (also called False Love) is two TV seasons from Shaft: Season 1 (20 episodes, 2014) and Season 2, Nisekoi: (12 episodes, 2015). Start at Season 1, episode 1. Three OVAs (Loss / Shrine Maiden, Work / Change, Bath House / Service) sit between the seasons as optional extras, and a fourth OVA (Honeymoon / Magical Patissiere Kosaki!) follows Season 2. The OVAs adapt manga side chapters and are not required for the fake-couple romance plot. If you only want the main story, the two season blocks are enough. There is no Season 3 anime.

How this order works
AnimeChrono watch orders put every season, movie, OVA, ONA and special for a franchise in chronological story order, the order the events happen. When an OVA or movie takes place partway through a season, the episode range is split so it sits where it belongs. Entries you can skip are marked optional, and each order says where to start. Release order, sorted by air date, is a secondary view once every entry has a date. The orders began as a hand-curated set, and episode counts and air dates come from AniList. Fans maintain the orders from there. Any signed-in user can edit one. Edits from trusted contributors go live right away and the rest are reviewed first. Every change is versioned and can be reverted, and each order shows when it was last updated and last checked.
