Coco Uzuki's Fall in Love, You False Angels, winner of the 49th Kodansha Manga Award in the shojo category, has been greenlit for a TV anime adaptation premiering in 2027.
Coco Uzuki's shojo manga Fall in Love, You False Angels is getting a TV anime adaptation set to premiere in 2027. The announcement arrived on June 11, 2026, accompanied by a special commemorative illustration drawn by Uzuki to mark the occasion.
Fall in Love, You False Angels launched in Kodansha's Dessert magazine in April 2023 and has since collected six compiled volumes as of January 2026. The series earned the 49th Kodansha Manga Award in the shojo category in 2025, cementing its reputation as one of Kodansha's standout recent shojo properties. That award win likely accelerated the push toward an anime adaptation, a well-trodden pipeline for Kodansha titles that gain critical recognition.
The English-language edition is published by Kodansha USA, making the manga already accessible to international readers ahead of the anime's arrival.
The manga follows Otogi Katsura, a first-year high school class president who projects an angelic, composed exterior to her classmates. Behind that polished facade, Otogi is brash, assertive, and has no problem calling out bad behavior when she sees it. Her double life takes a turn when Toki Ninomae, the equally picture-perfect vice president, catches a glimpse of her real personality at a train station.
Rather than being put off, Toki is drawn to Otogi's authentic side and reveals that he, too, hides a contrasting personality beneath his flawless public image. The two strike a pact to keep their true selves secret from their classmates, becoming "partners in crime" as their relationship deepens through their shared deception. It is a premise that plays on classic shojo dynamics opposites attract, secret identities, the tension between public performance and private truth but sharpens them with a modern comedic edge.
The announcement did not disclose an animation studio, director, voice cast, or any trailer footage. A specific premiere season within 2027 has also not been confirmed. Given the early stage of the reveal, those details are expected to roll out over the coming months as the production ramps up.
With a Kodansha Manga Award under its belt and an established English release through Kodansha USA, Fall in Love, You False Angels enters its anime era with strong institutional backing. Fans of shojo romance should keep an eye out for the first key visual and staff announcements, which will likely surface as the 2027 premiere window draws closer.
