Studio MAPPA has released the first teaser trailer and primary voice cast for Fall in Love, You False Angels (Koi Seyo Mayakashi Tenshi-domo), confirming a 2027 broadcast window. Based on Coco Uzuki's acclaimed shojo manga, the series stars Nao Ojika as Otogi Katsura, a high school class president who carefully maintains a flawless, angelic public image while concealing a sharp, pragmatic personality. Taito Ban co-stars as Toki Ninomae, the class heartthrob who discovers Otogi's secret act and reveals a double life of his own.
Production Staff & Studio Track Record
Director Yasutomo Okamoto leads the project at MAPPA, working alongside character designer Mariko Oka, series composition writer Yohei Yamazaki, and art director Takumi Hashimoto. While MAPPA is predominantly recognized for high-octane action franchises, the studio holds a refined track record with shojo source material, having produced the 2018 adaptation of Banana Fish (serialized in Bessatsu Shojo Comic) and the 2025 feature film The Rose of Versailles.
Manga Background & Synopsis
Coco Uzuki launched the manga in Kodansha's Dessert magazine in April 2023. The title built a strong readership, earning top honors in the shojo category at the 49th Kodansha Manga Award in 2025. Kodansha USA publishes the manga in English, describing the core setup:
All sugar, no spice, and everything nice…that’s the impression the beautiful first-year high schooler and class president Otogi gives to those around her. One look from the school’s “heartthrob angel” is all it takes to sweep countless admirers off their feet. But the real Otogi Katsura is no angel: She’s calculating, ruthless, and sharp-tongued. When Otogi slips up and exposes her inner baddie in front of the class’s other paragon, Toki, he counters by revealing an unexpected side of his own and declaring her his “partner in crime.” With cupid’s arrow at her back, can the “heartthrob angel” maintain her perfect act and regain the upper hand, or will she be the one swept off her feet by a fellow false angel?!
