Magical

Magical (マホウノ, Mahouno) is the one hundred and sixty fourth chapter of the Nisekoi manga series, written and illustrated by Naoshi Komi, and published weekly in the magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary
At Kosaki Onodera's house, Kosaki finds the missing page of her picture book in Haru's room. Kosaki informs Haru about the page, to which Haru says it's nostalgic. It is revealed that Haru also likes the picture book and has read it multiple times, but due to her accidentally ripping out the page, she hid it in the closet, so that Kosaki wouldn't notice. She apologises for the late apology (Haru read it years ago), to which Kosaki replies it's fine.

Back at the Ichijou household, Raku and Chitoge are taking a walk. While they talk about trivial things, Chitoge gets a email from Hana. This reminds Chitoge that her mom is in Japan and is waiting to spend Christmas with her, which makes her leave in a hurry. Not long after this, Raku also gets an email, but this time from Haru.

Raku heads down to Onodera Japanese Sweets Confections, where he meets Haru, who is setting up the shop for Christmas. She asks him to wait in her room, to which he finds odd. As he enters her room, he notices the picture book Kosaki had before, but this time with a new page. Just then, Kosaki enters the room, who is shocked to find Raku there. She asks him to read it, to which he obliges. After reading it, Kosaki tries to make a hint about the promise Raku made, stating that the locket and the keys were similar to the ones in the book. Raku then wonders if Kosaki is the promise girl, as she owned the book and also had a key. Kosaki then loses nerve and hastily denies ever being the promise girl, as she is still flustered by her crush on Raku. Raku also reacts in a similar way.

He asks Kosaki if she knows where the rest of the pages are, to which she replies she does not. In his head, Raku deduces that the promise he made was based on the one in the picture book, and so accordingly, Kosaki should be the promise girl. Just as he is running these thoughts through his head, Haru arrives, and asks why they are looking at the picture book. She is pleased to see that Kosaki and Raku are together, as the favour she asks Raku will require both of them. She then asks Raku candidly if he would take Kosaki out on a date.
