Honey’s Highlights

bombon-yes1 Koi to Uso (Love and Lies) - Summer 2017 Anime
Illegal Love. Drama. I heard the word sex in a PV. A guy who has to be with a girl just to keep the peace. Man the drama is going to be hardcore here.

A series about a relationship to keep the peace? It sounds a lot like Nisekoi. It'll just be a bit more sexy possibly so... like Kuzu no Honkai meets it?

There is going to be a lot of awkward romance moments though. It almost feels like the odd couple setup with classic anime like Toradora.

The relationship is complicated though so maybe like Isshukan Friends?

Synopsis

“Lies” are unforgivable, but “romance” is even more unforgivable.

The extreme countermeasures to the falling birthrate fundamental law is known as the “Yukari law”. This law states that when a child becomes 16 years of age, the government will inform them of their partner for marriage. Everyone has accepted it since the country can now guarantee “happiness” with good compatibility as well as there is no longer the need to go through the trouble of searching for a partner.

In this world, the main character, fifteen-year-old Yukari Nejima has feelings for his classmate Misaki Takazaki who is way out of his league. On the eve of his sixteenth birthday, he resolves to tell her about his feelings after a long year, but directly after he does so, his notification from the government arrives. But who will the red thread of science bind him to?

This is a world where the government arbitrarily decides “The person you should fall in love with” and “the person you should not fall in love with”. Is this hope? Or is it despair? The earnest, pure thoughts of these boys and girls intersects in this immature, fickle, and forbidden love story.

Three Episode Impression

Hi, I hear you like drama. Did you want some dramatm? That is what Koi to Uso is all about. It kinda gives off this creepy vibe where the government is telling people with whom to make babies. They claim that by putting two people together via their system, that it is going to fix a lot of things, but when Nejima likes Misaki but gets assigned to Ririna, you know drama is going to unfold. As of episode three, the series is taking a gentler approach to things as it does not seem as if we are being forced into anything. That being said, you know that something is going to happen in the NejimaxMisakixRirina love triangle. And let7s not forget the gay character either! Niisaka is definitely going to make some massive waves. Yes. Keep watching and get ready for the drama.
