The 15th anniversary event of MAPPA kept delivering announcements, and this was one of the most anticipated from the shojo side: the studio confirmed it will handle the anime adaptation of Fall in Love, You False Angels, the manga by Coco Uzuki that won the 2025 Kodansha Manga Award. The announcement came with a teaser revealing the full production team, though the video was made private shortly after its release.

Director Yasutomo Okamoto is at the helm, with Mariko Oka designing the characters and Yohei Yamazaki supervising the scripts. The rest of the team includes Takumi Hashimoto as art director, Kana Tanabe as key color artist, and Yuriko Waki as animation producer. This is the first major update on the project since its initial reveal, confirming MAPPA is managing development with a defined team ahead of the 2027 premiere.

No voice cast details are available yet. Those details, along with more visual material, are expected as production advances.

About Fall in Love, You False Angels

Fall in Love, You False Angels is a manga by Coco Uzuki published in Kodansha’s Dessert magazine since April 2023, with its seventh compiled volume released on June 12, 2026. The series won the 2025 Kodansha Manga Award, received a nomination for the Shogakukan Award that same year, and has remained in the top 20 for female readers in multiple editions of Kono Manga ga Sugoi!. The story follows Otogi Katsura, the sweet and angelic image club president, and Toki Ninomae, the equally perfect-looking vice president. Both hide personalities very different from those their classmates know, and when they discover each other’s secrets, they decide to keep their shared secret while growing closer.

Does the fact that MAPPA is behind this adaptation give you more confidence, considering its recent track record with emotionally heavy series?
