Kakunaru Ue wa

In the high-stakes world of aspiring manga artists, two high school students find their creative dreams hitting a wall. Uehara Yuuki, a reserved creator of idealized romance, and Miyamoto Niina, his outgoing and popular classmate, both receive the same crushing criticism: their stories lack real romantic experience.

In a desperate bid to inject authenticity into their work, this unlikely pair strikes a unique deal: they will enter into a fake relationship. However, their plan quickly spirals into hilarious chaos as their clashing personalities and preconceived notions about love collide. Kakunaru Ue wa is a charming and uproarious romantic comedy that explores the messy gap between artistic fantasy and reality, asking if two people who are nothing like their own fictional creations can actually write a better story together.
