Fall in Love, You False Angels: 2027 Anime, Manga & English Release

Checked November 2, 2026. Spoiler-light guide.

Fall in Love, You False Angels is an ongoing school romantic comedy by Coco Uzuki. The Japanese manga has seven collected volumes, Kodansha publishes the official English edition in print and digital formats, and a MAPPA-produced TV anime is scheduled for 2027.

If you are discovering the title through the anime announcement, the manga is already legally available in English. Kodansha currently lists five English volumes.

Quick Facts

What Is Fall in Love, You False Angels About?

Otogi Katsura enters high school with a reputation for being beautiful, graceful, and almost impossibly perfect. She becomes class president and carefully maintains the gentle public image that has made her the school’s “angel.”

That image is only one part of her.

In private, Otogi is blunt, calculating, sharp-tongued, and far tougher than her classmates realize. Her carefully controlled life changes when Toki Ninomae—the equally admired vice president—sees that hidden side of her.

Instead of being shocked, Toki reveals that his polished personality is also a performance.

The two students who appear most perfect from a distance become the only people who know what the other is hiding. Their shared secret creates a rivalry, an alliance, and eventually the possibility of romance.

The premise may sound like a battle between two manipulative characters, but the story’s real appeal is more human: what happens when the person who sees your least polished self does not turn away?

Why the “Two Faces” Are More Than a Gimmick

Otogi and Toki are not simply pretending to be nice while secretly being cruel. Their public behavior shows how much work can go into being the version of yourself that other people expect.

Japanese school stories often give particular weight to reputation, classroom roles, and the difference between the self shown in public and the self revealed in private. This manga turns that distance into comedy, but it also treats being fully seen as something intimate.

Otogi does not need Toki to admire the same flawless image everyone else sees. He already knows the image is constructed. That changes the emotional question from “Will he like the perfect version of me?” to “What happens if he likes the person behind it?”

This does not mean every Japanese student lives with the same divide, or that the manga represents one universal cultural rule. It uses an exaggerated romantic-comedy setup to explore a recognizable experience: performing competence, hiding the messier parts of yourself, and feeling unexpectedly relieved when someone understands both.

Is the Manga Finished?

No. Kodansha’s official English series page lists the manga as ongoing, and the official Dessert page also describes it as serialized in the magazine.

Japan has seven collected volumes as of November 2, 2026. Volume 7 was released on June 12, 2026.

The Dessert website posted a hiatus notice on August 24, 2026. Because the visible official notice does not provide a return date, this article does not guess when serialization will resume. A hiatus is not the same as a completion announcement or cancellation.

How Many English Volumes Are Available?

Kodansha currently lists five official English volumes in both print and digital formats.

Release schedules and retailer stock can change. Check Kodansha’s official series page for the current list before ordering.

What Is Confirmed About the 2027 Anime?

The television anime is officially scheduled for 2027. The official anime site confirms MAPPA as the animation studio and lists the following main cast:

• Nao Ojika as Otogi Katsura
• Taito Ban as Toki Ninomae

The announced core staff includes director Yasutomo Okamoto, series composer Yohei Yamazaki, and character designer Mariko Oka.

As of November 2, 2026, the official site has not announced an exact premiere date, episode count, or international streaming platform. A 2027 broadcast year is confirmed; a specific month or global service is not.

Use the official anime website for new announcements rather than treating predicted dates or platform guesses as confirmed information.

Should You Read the Manga Before the Anime?

You do not need to wait for the anime. The English manga is already an accessible entry point, and Volume 1 establishes the central appeal immediately: two admired students discover that neither of them is as angelic as the school believes.

Start with the manga if you enjoy:

• romantic comedy built on rivalry and mutual teasing;
• confident heroines with imperfect inner lives;
• characters who understand each other’s public and private selves;
• school romance with a Kare Kano or Kaguya-sama flavor;
• expressive artwork and shifts in facial expression that reward slow reading.

Waiting for the anime may suit readers who prefer voice acting and physical comedy. Reading first may make it more interesting to hear how Otogi and Toki’s changes in tone are performed on screen.

Final Thoughts

Fall in Love, You False Angels begins with a playful secret: the school’s two most admired students are both performing perfection.

What gives the premise emotional weight is that exposure does not end their connection. It creates it. Otogi and Toki become interesting to each other precisely because neither has to remain an angel when they are alone together.

With an official English edition already available and a MAPPA anime planned for 2027, this is an easy time for international readers to begin. Start with Volume 1, enjoy the masks slipping, and keep future anime expectations tied to what the official site has actually announced.
