Animation version
A paper plane is seen flying through the screen while leaving behind a magenta-colored line. The letters of "Nisekoi" are spelled on the line. Two more paper planes soon follow the first one but without lines. Circles appear from the line and spread away from it. Then, a blue sky is shown from the windows of Raku's classroom. The paper plane flies in a straight manner outside the window. Raku is seen putting some stuff into his bag in the classroom. The scene changes to Raku taking out his shoes room his locker and he drops them to the ground. Raku's shadow rotates around him (like a clock's hand). Then, the image of Raku's locket is shown. He is seen walking away from the school while carrying his bag. Chitoge suddenly appears in front of him holding a poster (of a stargazing event?) which surprises him. They are at the library showing Onodera the poster which the latter smiles at. Marika is shown hiding behind a post. She clings onto Raku which leaves the others shocked. Then, it shows the title of the anime. Next, the four of them are seen hanging out. Raku says goodbye and the three separate and go home to their respective homes. They check their closets and change their clothes. Then, the three are in a train which Raku misses. He enters a separate train behind theirs. Unfortunately, the train takes a different route and Raku is seen bawling while sitting on the train. Tsugumi is on top of the Raku's train and gets a call. She escapes the train while carrying Raku. She gets flustered and lets go of Raku. He falls to the ground and sees the image of the promised girl from ten years ago. The three girls are in front of him, looking worried. Then, Tsugumi, Shū and Ruri show up. Raku is up and a drop of blood drips from his right palm. The droplet becomes a red spider web. A huge spider is on the spider web accompanied by three smaller ones.
