Onodera, Chitoge, and Marika seem to own a key and all of them have a fuzzy
memory of their childhood. I think Raku really met them all when he was young
and made a promise to each, maybe, so that makes all the three promised girls.
Of course, only one key can fit inside Raku's locket but it's not whose key
can fit but the girl he made a promise to. So the point of the story is
whether Raku chooses the "promised girl" or his present love? Or I think is
should be which of the three promised girls is his true love? So the one
Raku's referring to as the "promise girl" is which: **the girl with the key to
the locket** or **the girl whom he promised to love**?

Sorry I think my question sounds a bit confusing but I hope you try to
understand it.

question
nisekoi
Which promised girl is Raku referring to?


Both definitions, the key holder and the promised girl are the same, whomever
she is. Any of them, all of them or another girl. The manga is not yet
finished, so another late entrant could claim to be it (Love Hina again-
esque). If you take only the anime into account, then it is left wide open.
Heck, his locket is in repairs as of the final episode. Who knows if the lock
had to be changed.

Probably it will only be revealed in the end of the series (or the end of the
manga, if the anime doesn't show any closure). It is the big plot mistery
anyway. So getting to who is the promised girl at this point would be getting
to the climax too soon.

Worth of note, he could well have made more than one promise.

So the answer is: **as of October 2014, undefined.**

Don't forget about Yui onee-chan. She is also one of the girls who made
promise with Raku in their childhood, and she also has a key, just like
Onodera, Marika and Chitoge. In the new chapter of Nisekoi manga, when Ryuu
asks Raku which girl Raku actually loves for now, he says Onodera, but Ryuu
doubts it and then Raku starts thinking about Chitoge. My point is that maybe
Raku will choose Chitoge.

I haven't got a chance to read the manga yet but I have finished watching the
anime and if I remembered correctly, when Chitoge told raku about the promise
she had made with a boy 10 years ago, she also said the phrase "forever in
love" which in the pilot episode, that phrase was said by raku and the girl he
made a promise with.

Spoiler! Do not read if you haven't gotten to Yui's arc yet!

AND TEAM CHITOGE! I'd love to state the reasons of bias but that's for another
time.

As the manga has ended, we have a winner. And the promised girl is

So to answer your question, the girl with the key to the locket is the girl
whom he promised to love
