I'd seen it mentioned as one of the better series currently in Jump, but didn't think that was saying much these days so hadn't paid it much attention... how would you sum it up?
The series starts off as a romantic comedy focusing heavily on a love triangle, but as the series progresses it turns into more and more of a harem. I'd say an accurate description would be like it's
To Love Ru minus the aliens, ghosts and fanservice - just more and more romance.
The premise is basically this: Raku Ichijou is a high school student, as well as the heir to a yakuza syndicate. One day at school, he meets a new transfer student called Chitoge Kirisaki and of course, they hate each other the moment they meet (to be fair, she does knee him in the face). However, Raku quickly finds out that Chitoge is the heir to a mafia family who is on the brink of erupting into a war with the yakuza syndicate Raku is the heir to. To prevent this war, the two of them are forced to pretend to be lovers.
However, Raku is constantly carrying around a locked pendant. He has a vague memory from 10 years ago of a girl whom he can no longer remember - that one day they will meet again and she, possessing the key to the pendant, will open it and fulfil a promise they made. Raku is also in love with a girl in his class, Kosaki Onodera.
