When you think of MAPPA, shojo romance probably isn’t the first thing that springs to mind — but the studio behind Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and Dorohedoro just slipped a very different project onto its 2027 slate. At the MAPPA 15th Anniversary Lineup Announcement Event held on 19 June, the studio confirmed it is producing the TV anime adaptation of Fall in Love, You False Angels (恋せよまやかし天使ども / Koi Seyo Mayakashi Tenshi-domo) — the Kodansha Manga Award-winning shojo series by Coco Uzuki — along with a first teaser PV and visual.
What Is Fall in Love, You False Angels?
On the surface, Otogi Katsura is everything a high school student should be — graceful, beautiful, and admired without exception. Behind that polished image, however, she is calculating, ruthless, and brutally sharp-tongued. When she accidentally lets her real self slip in front of classmate Toki Ninomae — who looks just as picture-perfect as she does — he doesn’t recoil. Instead, he reveals his own hidden side and proposes they become “partners in crime.” The story of two beautiful liars who can finally drop their masks around each other begins.
The source manga has been running in Kodansha’s Monthly Dessert magazine since April 2023. Its momentum has been remarkable: over 2.25 million copies are in circulation in Japan, and it claimed the top prize in the shojo category at the 49th Kodansha Manga Award in 2025. An English edition is published by Kodansha USA, so Singapore fans who want to get ahead of the anime — strongly recommended — already have a way in.
The Creative Team Behind It
MAPPA has assembled a dedicated staff for the adaptation. Yasutomo Okamoto directs, with series composition by Yohei Yamazaki. Mariko Oka is on character design duty, and Takumi Hashimoto serves as art director. Aniplex is attached as distributor — the same setup that has powered many of MAPPA’s biggest recent hits — which bodes well for production resources and international reach.
No voice cast has been officially named yet, though the teaser PV does include the voice of lead character Otogi Katsura, building anticipation for a full cast reveal down the line. Follow the series’ official X account at @koidomo_anime for updates.
When Is It Coming?
The TV anime is slated for 2027, with no specific season or broadcast channel confirmed at this stage. Southeast Asian streaming rights have not been announced, but an Aniplex-backed MAPPA title with this level of manga pedigree would be a natural fit for Crunchyroll’s regional lineup — expect details to surface closer to the Japanese broadcast date. We will keep this page updated as the air date and cast are confirmed.
Last Words
Singapore fans who pored over MAPPA’s 15th anniversary slate for updates on JJK and Chainsaw Man might have scrolled past this one — but Fall in Love, You False Angels is worth adding to the 2027 watchlist early. A 2.25-million-copy run, a Kodansha Manga Award win, and MAPPA behind the camera is a very solid foundation. If you enjoy shows where characters hide layers of complexity behind a perfect exterior — think Kaguya-sama territory, with its own distinct flavour — this one has your name on it.
