Just like [book:ホリミヤ 1 Horimiya 1 |16155151] which I adore, I adore this new manga that plays off of the same trope which is that two characters discover a different side of their personas that they vow to keep secret (which ultimately also means they fall in love too).

In this one, the school's "Madonna" Otogi and the school's good looking and awesome boy Toki are pleasant to each other at school and see how each other is with classmates but when they end up waiting for the train together and Otogi has to give a few stupid drunk boys a piece of her mind, Toki can't help but appreciate this aggressive style and he's got one too. Together they decide that these special moments are actually driving them together.

A romantic slice of life story.

This was so good. I love the art style. That is what drew me in the most. Also the character dynamics, just great. I can’t wait to read more of the manga.

It definitely hits my top manga list of the year!

Beautifully painted, funny and romantic story about two students that have two-faced identities and, on that same ground, become friends (for now).

Highly recommended!!!

This book is cute for the most part but their "dark side" is them just sticking up for themselves and for other people. That's not having a dark side lol... that's just being a normal human being. I just found it a bit boring and also rushed. If it was slowed down, I would enjoy the two main characters alot more.

Thank you Net Galley and Publisher for the book to review.

The way I absolutely ate this up!!! This was one of my favorite reads of 2025 so far, and it has only just started. Both the FMC and MMC are the nicest and untouchable people at their school, but they hid their true personalities. The FMC is so funny to watch fall in love with the MMC since she is the school's untouchable "Madonna" and she's not supposed to fall for others. My favorite scene is when the MMC calls her a badass for standing up for herself and then he shows his true colors. I cannot wait to keep reading to see more of his true personality and if they end up together. I love the art style and the characters, this is going to be an incredible series.

I loved the Manga Fall in Love, You False Angels by Coco Uzuki. I loved reading the love story between the main characters and how they became close it was very cute. I love the art in the Manga as well as the cover it fits the story well. I can't wait to read the next book.

The art is adorable, characters are loveable, and I really like the relationship between them. They both have hidden personalities and Otogi accidentally lets her mask slip when some boys annoy her. So, the vice president (her classmate) ends up slipping up and showing his real personality too.

I would definitely recommend the volume to anyone who likes high school rom coms.

Thanks to Netgalley and Kodansha Comics for an eARC of this book.

I can’t wait to grab volume 2 and read more about them.

I really enjoyed this introductory volume. The reveals of their "true personalities" were funny and set us up for an interesting dynamic between them and the rest of the characters. I'm interested to see where the series goes, and I love that it's not a typical "good girl, bad guy" or vice verse. The art style is also gorgeous and really matches the story's feel. Overall a good first volume with lots of potential.

The premise of this manga slightly inflates what really is going on. I started reading expecting someone like Koshi Torako from My Deer Friend Nokotan, who hides her past—maybe violent, kinda mean. But no, Otogi Katsura secretly just stands up for herself. I wanted to get that clear for everyone who is considering picking up this manga, so you don’t feel underwhelmed in that aspect, because this manga is simply perfect.

Tell you what, Fall In Love, You False Angels, Vol. 1 is my first favourite book of the year. It didn’t get 5 stars, it got a Heart, and that in my rating language, means perfection. The best.

One of the major highlights is the beautiful graphics—they make it so easy to fall in love with every page. The character design for each of them is simply perfect

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this ahead of publication! This is going to be a hit in my house for sure. If you liked Kaguya-sama: Love is War, I really think you will enjoy Fall in Love, You False Angels. I think Otogi and Toki are really fun characters to read and I know this will continue to be such a intriguing story.

I have already preordered volumes 2 and 3. I'm excited for this to be added to my growing manga collection.

A very sweet high school romance series with characters presenting themselves as the ideal soft spoken competent student council members, but who both are hiding their true selves in public. Coco Uzuki's art is gorgeous, and the way they draw hair is especially lovely! It's nice to see long haired teen male characters represented as well in a modern day setting. A very solid series that I would rec to any shoujo fan.

I don’t usually read manga, but I decided to give this one a chance because the cover immediately caught my eye. The artwork throughout was absolutely stunning, and I really appreciated the visual storytelling. Unfortunately, the story itself wasn’t the right fit for me. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to read it.

Thank you so much to Kodansha Comics for providing me with the ARC of this book.

I am trying to get back into reading manga and this really helped. Fall in Love, You False Angels gave me so much more faith and excitement for manga coming out this year and I really enjoyed this. Did I think this was Yuri when requesting it? Yes, I did. Is it Yuri? No, it is not, but I still loved it all the same the art is gorgeous and the characters are a little different than I was expecting. I love that she has a special name for him and how they feel like they can be themselves around each other. This was sweet and cute and I look forward to reading the next one!

Katsura and Ninomae hold "perfect" images at school, but they both have a secret side. During a small slip-up, Katsura reveals her true nature and so does Ninomae. When Ninomae's true nature is revealed he asks Katsura to be his "partner in crime" and her heart can't help but beat fast. What's going to happen in this secret arrangement???

Ahhhhh I'm totallyy in love with this series!!! I've had my eye on this ever since I saw snippets of the original Japanese version and am so happy it got translated! Can't wait for the next volume!!!

***ARC from NetGalley***

This was a fun read. I think, based on the clues given, the two main characters are approximately 14 years old? First year president and vice president in high school. Otogi and Toki are perfect and the envy of all. And it's all a facade. They soon discover the true nature of each other and find themselves falling for each other. The reason I am confused on their age is that there are times in the story they are absolutely young kids in school and in others, more like they are in college. That is both in the maturity of the story line and the way they are depicted in both their appearance and speech.

Great graphics, really enjoyed the full color pages. Looking forward to reading further editions.

i loved this so much! It’s been awhile since I read any manga set in a high school setting, and I’m so glad I picked this one up because I really enjoyed it and it made me feel like I was back in high school. I literally cannot wait for the sequel now!

[Thanks to Netgalley and Kodansha Comics for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review]

This is my first ARC!!!


Otogi Katsura and Toki Ninomae are our MCs. They both serve as School President and Vice President of their respective schools.

The students admired them so much and thinks they're Angels.

As you can see from the title of the book, they are False Angels. Means they hide their true selves from everyone. When an event occurs, they both discover that they have different personalities, which leads to them becoming closer.

 In this story, how the main characters hide their true personalities reminds me of how we sometimes hide our true selves to fit in with society.

We are yet to witness how the False Angels will come to love one another, knowing that they have fake personalities and are the same.

The whole school council thing and hiding their true selves reminds of  Kaguya-Sama: Love is War. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves shoujo!

As a quick and easy read, I really enjoyed Fall In Love, You False Angels and I can't wait to see the False Angels in Volume 2.

Thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for letting me read " Fall In Love , You False Angels 1" by Coco Uzuki.
I usually do not review mangas but this particular one just stole my heart. The art style was so beautiful and I got a huge crush on the mmc. The storyline was lightheaded, interesting and medium paced. The only complain that could find was that; it was a bit confusing to understand which dialogue belongs to whom.

Overall it was a quick and fun read.

as always, thank you for the copy, netgalley! <3

first things first, the art style is so adorable. i love it!!!

this cute first volume has period caretaking, nicknames, a creepy teacher getting exposed... what more could you want?

but fr this is really sweet and funny! <3 it's definitely kaguya-sama and horimiya inspired, but it's unique enough that i would still recommend it. tbh i'm still not tired of the "hidden sides" trope we see in a lot of anime and manga lol. and i loved the fmc's confidence / cockiness!

as i mentioned before, trigger warning for a creepy predator going after his underage students... but the book handles it amazingly.

Fall In Love, You False Angels Volume 1 by Coco Uzuki follows Toki Ninomae and Otogi Katsura who are the definition of brains and beauty, capturing all of their classmates hearts.. but at what cost? Katsura is known as her schools “Madonna” having everybody fall in love with her based off her looks, but in all actuality it’s just a facade she’s not cute or shy at all. Katsura soon realizes that her student body VP classmate, Ninomae, is the same way as her, a total badass. Throughout this story we see them grapple with how they should be viewed when society sees them (well put together, kind and helpful) versus how they are when they are in private (strong, beautiful, rebellious and sarcastic). I love how once they revealed how they truly are to each other they found a safe space and soon developed a crush on each other.

I’d like to thank Coco Uzuki, NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for providing me with this ARC.
