MAPPA Unveils Fall in Love, You False Angels Anime for 2027

We are still catching our breath after the MAPPA 15th Anniversary Lineup Reveal. The studio celebrated its legacy with a bang. Among the big announcements, one title stood out for fans of romance and double lives. We are officially getting a television anime adaptation of Fall in Love, You False Angels. The project is scheduled to premiere in 2027. It feels like a long wait, but the pedigree of the staff suggests it will be worth every second of our patience.

A Team of Experts at the Helm

We saw the teaser video briefly before it went private, and the names involved are exciting. MAPPA is putting serious talent behind this production. We love a good creative synergy, and this lineup delivers exactly that. Yasutomo Okamoto will be leading the project as the director. He has a clear vision for this story about masks and hidden truths.

The visual style and narrative structure are in good hands with these professionals:

• Director: Yasutomo Okamoto
• Series Composition: Satoko Sekine
• Character Design: Mayumi Watanabe
• Music: Kensuke Ushio

Wait, did we mention Kensuke Ushio? Yes, the master of atmospheric soundtracks is on board. We can already imagine the moody, synth-driven beats accompanying the secret rooftop meetings of our protagonists. It is going to be a total vibe.

Perfect Angels or Perfect Liars?

We are obsessed with the premise of Koiseyo Mayakashi Tenshi-domo. Imagine the perfect class president, Otogi Katsura. Everyone thinks she is a literal angel. She is sweet, helpful, and soft. But guess what? She is actually brash and has a fiery temper. She meets her match in Toki Ninomae, the vice president. He is the definition of a "cool beauty," but he hides a dark, twisted side too.

We find their dynamic hilarious because they are basically partners-in-crime. They caught each other being "ugly" and decided to keep the secret. It is a classic case of "I know your secret, so you better keep mine." Does this sound like the start of a healthy relationship? Probably not. Is it incredibly entertaining? Absolutely.

A Manga with a Golden Pedigree

We aren't the only ones excited about this. The original manga by Coco Uzuki has been cleaning up at awards ceremonies. It isn't just another school romance; it has the critical acclaim to back up the hype. Here are some of its achievements:

• Winner of the Kodansha Manga Awards in 2025.
• Consistently ranked in the top 20 of Kono Manga ga Sugoi! for female readers.
• Nominated for the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Awards.

The manga started its run in Dessert magazine back in April 2023. Since then, it has grown into a massive hit with seven volumes already on shelves. We think MAPPA choosing this specific title shows they are looking to dominate the romance genre just as much as they do with action shonen.

What do we expect from 2027?

We know 2027 feels like it’s in another century. However, quality takes time. We want those character designs by Mayumi Watanabe to look as sharp as a knife. We want the animation to capture every smug smirk and every blush. If we have to wait three years for a masterpiece, we will do it with a smile on our faces (and maybe some tapas and a drink while we wait here in Madrid).

Are you ready to see these "false angels" fall for each other, or do you prefer characters who are honest from the start? What do you think about MAPPA handling a romance title like this?
