The Aniplex One Focus livestream on Saturday announced the main cast and staff for the 2027 television anime of Coco Uzuki's manga Fall in Love, You False Angels. Nao Ojika voices Otogi Katsura and Taito Ban voices Toki Ninomae. A cast reveal promo video also debuted, marking the first time Toki's voice is heard. MAPPA handles animation production, with Yasutomo Okamoto as director, Mariko Oka on character design, Yohei Yamazaki as series script supervisor, and Takumi Hashimoto as art director. Kensuke Ushio is producing the music, composed by Yunosuke Senoo and Yuhki Kurihara. The manga runs in Kodansha's Dessert magazine, launched there in April 2023, and Kodansha USA Publishing releases it in English. It won the Kodansha Manga Award in 2025 and holds a cumulative print run above 2.35 million copies as of September 2026. The seventh compiled volume shipped in Japan on June 12.
The stream also named the rest of the production team: Kana Tanabe as color key artist, Shunsuke Taniguchi as compositing director of photography, Ayumu Takahashi on editing, and Yuriko Waki as animation producer.
Both leads have credits behind them. Nao Ojika is known for Tsukimura Temari in Gakuen Idolmaster, and Taito Ban for Hartia Allenford in Sorcerous Stabber Orphen. Kensuke Ushio joins the music side after work on the Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc film and the NHK serial novel Bakebake, with composers Yunosuke Senoo and Yuhki Kurihara having supported Shunkashuto Daikousha: Haru no Mai.
The cast reveal video plays on the manga's central hook, letting viewers hear the gap between Otogi's public face and her hidden one. Ojika said she jumped when she passed the audition: "I'm sure all of humanity will have their hearts stolen by the 'gap' between the public face Otogi-chan shows and her true face." Ban said he packed his accumulated experience and vocal range into the audition.
Ushio framed his approach around what goes unsaid: "If I could somehow turn into music the things that cannot be put into words, born in the space between them."
The manga is on hiatus and returns in November. It was nominated for the Shogakukan Manga Awards in 2025 and placed in the top 20 of Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! list for female readers in multiple years.
