Love and Lies (Japanese: 恋と嘘, Hepburn: Koi to Uso) is a Japanese manga by Musawo (also known as Musawo Tsumugi (紬木 ムサヲ, Tsumugi Musawo)).[3] The series follows a young boy and his feelings for a girl who is his longtime crush, despite another girl was already assigned by the government to become his future wife. It is being published by Kodansha with releases online by DeNA's Manga Box app in multiple languages. An anime adaptation premiered in July 2017, and a live-action film adaptation will premiere in October 2017.

Plot

In the near future, children who have turned 16 years old are assigned by the government to a partner based on compatibility calculation, in order to increase the country's birth rate. Those who do not follow the government rules of going with their assigned partner suffer severe penalties. Yukari Nejima finally confesses his love to schoolmate and long-time crush Misaki Takazaki and discovers she has liked him back. However, when he turns 16, he is assigned another girl, Lilina Sanada. Lilina is not that thrilled about being assigned, and is very willing to let Yukari freely relate with Misaki so she can learn what being in love is really like. The story follows their adventures of the teens as they try to relate with one another while keeping up appearances with the government.
