This was really cute and very enjoyable! It reminds me a bit of “Love is War,” but the two-faced premise is pretty original!

A sweet little romance manga between two of the most popular kids in school and the fact that they’re both low key terrifying if you fuck with them.

I wanted to love this one but I had a hard time connecting with the characters and the story line. It seemed to lack depth. The art work is stunning though.

This was such a great first volume for a rom-com manga! Fall in Love You False Angels stars class president Otogi Katsuga and vice president Toki Ninomae (aka Ikkoku). Both of them are popular, gorgeous, seemingly perfect, but secretly two-faced. Once they learn that the other is hiding a secret side of themselves, they begin spending more time together. I would highly recommend this manga to anyone who is looking for a lighthearted romcom series!

Also, there’s something about the lineart in this that I just adore. I think maybe it has something to do with the line weight variation, but regardless, I am obsessed with this art style.

I can definitely see myself continuing this series!

Otogi and Toki are their high schools Class President & Vice President. To everyone around them they see a beautiful Princess and Prince, but there is much more than meets the eye to these two! Now that they have both have exposed their true personalities they can finally be themselves and it seems like love will bloom between them as they continue being their true selves!

Coco Uzuki brings us high school romance with a twist in Fall in Love, You False Angels. This upcoming Kodansha manga release focuses on the burgeoning relationship between “heartthrob angel” Otogi and fellow paragon Toki (whom Otogi calls “Ikkoku”). Otogi is the most beautiful, crushworthy girl at her school. What her classmates don’t know is her personality is heavily curated: she deliberately acts in a way that will make her adored. She’s convinced Ikkoku is the same, but she can’t see a crack in his persona… until one day she does.

Combining beautiful art and unconventional romance, Fall in Love, You False Angels scratches that shoujo manga itch. Otogi is a lovable protagonist—not for her carefully curated personality, but for the lovestruck awkwardness that overrides both her persona and her tough-as-nails attitude. This couple will be one to follow for the long haul.

First, I love how stylish and pretty the art is. I am pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the book. Based on the description, I was worried that it would be another manga with a secret sadistic creepy ML that harasses FL. However, this is not the case here, and I enjoyed the contrast between their 'ideal' personality and their real one for both characters. It was funny and cute.

I really enjoyed this first volume of "Fall In Love, You False Angels"! Wasn't really sure at first what to make of the manga just based on the description, but I was delightfully surprised by Otogi & Toki (and their subsequent relationship). Felt like the perfect blend of two of my favorite manga series: "Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War" and "In the Clear Moonlit Dusk" Specifically the former for their relationship dynamic and the latter because appearances & perceptions don't always equal reality. Otogi & Toki are just normal classmates until they find that they share something integral to their individual identities and from there they find a common ground. Had a great time just reading their banter! Overall, this first volume felt like a great set up for more to come...

The first volume is an easy, low-stakes opener. Not much really happens in it, but it's a cute introduction to the two main characters and quite beautiful to look at (the artist is a master of drawing hair attractively blowing in the wind). The two leads fulfill their roles without being annoying, and you feel a sense of genuine camaraderie. I'd read the second book hoping we'd get a punch up in action and plot now that we have established the protagonists roles.

Absolutely loved this. The premise is very similar to a retro shoujo I really loved growing up called Kare Kano. In both, the main leads portray themselves as these beautiful, idealistic students. They're seemingly perfect. But the reality is much different. I find that I'm enjoying this a little bit more than I did Kare Kano at the very beginning as I love the character designs and the chemistry between the two leads. The humor was on point, the author did a great job of conveying emotions and actions through their artwork. I'm super interested in continuing this series!

This book was soooo cute and engaging!!! I couldn't stop reading! The story was good and the male character was so devilishly charming!! I loved the part how they met and couldn't rave enough about it! The art is also beautiful, almost dreamlike, it also has or resembles the classic manga screentones. I really loved how they were used. And I love how the main male character has such good lines and amazing chemistry with the female lead. I hope to read more from this author in the future!

This manga was a delightful surprise. Fall in Love, You False Angels has a simple yet entertaining premise that hooked me from the start. Although it’s a short story, it left me wanting more.
I can’t wait to read the next volumes and see how the protagonists’ relationship develops.

The art is undoubtedly one of its strongest points. The characters are beautifully designed, with details that make them stand out and an aesthetic that’s simply captivating. Their dynamic is fun and carries a lighthearted charm that brings a smile to your face as you read.

I have to admit, ever since I saw the first glimpses of the artwork when it was being published in its original language, I was enchanted and eager to read it. I’m so happy that a publisher decided to translate this work, you can truly see the effort and care they put into it.

If you’re looking for something quick and easy to pass the time, with a mix of romance, beautiful art, and a touch of fun, this manga is an excellent choice. I finished it in a day and absolutely loved it.

Note: I received an Advance Reader Copy (ARC) of this manga from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Many thanks to them!

This manga completely stole my heart! It’s sweet, hilarious, and full of charm, with a fun twist on hidden personalities and shared secrets.
Otogi Katsura, the “perfect” class president, is secretly bold and brash, while her vice president, Toki Ninomae, hides a more playful side behind his kind demeanor. Watching them connect as their real selves was so fun and heartwarming!
The chemistry between Otogi and Toki is adorable, and I loved seeing their dynamic evolve as they grew closer. The art is stunning, the story is engaging, and I couldn’t stop smiling the whole way through. It’s the perfect mix of romance, comedy, and heartfelt moments. I already can’t wait for volume two!

Overall I gave this a 3.25/5 stars. I felt as though it wasn’t the worst thing I had ever read but it was hard to keep up with. The story felt rushed and disorganized at times. The main character displayed affection for the male character almost instantly but again this is a high school romance and often times when we are young we jump into love and emotion so quick we don’t even know what’s real. Although I don’t think an adult would feel like the main character I do feel as though she was written well for her age. She displayed the typical teenager behaviors. Overall I would recommend this as a cute read for a teenager possibly but I also would warn that there is content of sexual intentions between a teacher and student. It does not last long and is shut down but just be cautious before letting little ones read if that’s something you’re not okay with. Overall I do plan on picking up vol. 2 as I felt it was a cute light read for in between novels.

This first volume was a good entry into "Fall In Love, You False Angels". We are introduced to our main characters Otogi Katsura and Toki Ninomae. Everyone thinks they are sweet and nice because they are quite beautiful to look at. However, they both have a wild and unruly side. Basically, they are like a kitten that bears it's claws and hisses if you get too close. Mostly it's just a form of protection. Once they both realized that their true side is similar to each other their friendship began to blossom. Otogi seems to be falling for Toki pretty fast. Toki also seems to really enjoy being around Otogi, I hope we will see Toki show how much he likes her in the next volume,

Thanks NetGalley for this arc!

First I'd like to thank the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Fall in Love, You False Angels is about two characters who show one side of themselves at school while keeping their other side hidden. It was surprisingly refreshing to read about a main character that is a girl that knows she's pretty instead of bemoaning how average she is when she's actually cute or pretty but just lacks confidence. Although I do enjoy those characters it was fun and funny to read about a girl who is actually a little bit of a narcissistic. It's done in just the right way so that its not annoying either. I also very much enjoyed our male main character and I look forward to seeing more of his other side in the future volumes as well as learning more about some of the secondary characters. The art is very pretty and the comedic faces our heroine makes were great. I always enjoy series more when there is humor added in as well and not just all seriousness. Very much looking forward to the next volume of this series.

Yes, I am a hopeless romantic. I just love a good simple and cute romance story with great art. the colour palette used in this manag is exactly what I love and who I basically am in colours. Our two main characters are seen as the two most perfect people in the school, howver they both have sides of them that they do not show. Sides that are more true to their personality, where they do not have to be completely perfect and nice all the time. I would have love to give this a 5 stars, however I think that it needs a bit more background on the characters to see exactly why they do hide their true selfs, however this will probably be discussed in the next few volumes (hopefully). Personally I would date the girl and the guy they are both extremely attractive. I just need more of this "dark side", cause they seem more badass.

This was a really cute story of two people who put on faces to fit in and be liked by their peers. They meet one another and find they are more alike than they thought.

Thank you to Netgalley and Kodansha for the arc!

I don't really have much to analize here. Like any manga, the first volume serves as an intro for the ones to come, and I feels this accomplished its purpose, I was in fact curious about their development, even when I found her reactions to be too "instalovey" for my usual taste.

Would have loved a bit more hints about what (if anything) motivates then to be "two-faced". Could have used it as spark for my curiosity and go look for the next volumes right away haha

Overall, a pretty enjoyable reading. 💃🏻
