Nisekoi Abridged was an online parody series I started back in 2014, and is the pilot series of the Abridged Project.

The series follows the everyday lives of Raku Ichijo & Chitoge Kirisaki, two teenagers who are forced into a relationship by their fathers to establish peace between their organized crime syndicates. Given that peace is dependent on their happiness together, how long will that peace last?

Currently, the series has over 400,000 views (across all episodes & specials) on YouTube, and has been a major drive behind the growth of the DBSteele Media YouTube presence.
