also move to Belgium. They soon discover the life of a gastarbeider is
difficult: they have to live in some kind of barracks, they are
neglected by the Belgian people and they do not earn much. They are
astonished when they hear Salvatore signed a contract of five years and
children of gastarbeiders are ought to work in the mines as soon they
leave high school. Rocco meets Helena, the daughter of the local grocer

Nisekoi (2014) [Anime]
Following high school student Ichijou Raku, the son of a leader in the yakuza faction Shuei-Gumi, and Kirisaki Chitoge, the daughter of a boss in a rival gang known as Beehive.
They unexpectedly meet when Chitoge hops a wall and knees Raku in the
face. After she runs off, Raku realizes he has lost his pendant which
was given to him by his childhood sweetheart with whom he made a secret
promise. After discovering Chitoge is a new transfer student in his
class, he forces her to help him look for the pendant. During the
search, they begin to dislike each other.
Upon returning home, Raku learns that the Shuei-Gumi and Beehive gangs have agreed to settle their feud by pairing their leaders' children. Raku learns that his girlfriend-to-be is none other than Chitoge. For the next three years, they must pretend to be in a relationship to maintain peace between the gangs. This turns out to be quite a challenging task, not only because of their hatred for one another, but also because Raku has a crush on another schoolmate, Onodera Kosaki, whom he secretly wishes was the girl who bears the key to his pendant. Various developments complicate the situation, including Chitoge's over-protective bodyguard, a female hitman, a girl who claims to be Raku's fiancée, and the existence of multiple keys.
