I knew from the beginning it was gonna be the series for me. It is genuinely Kare Kano, and I hope it does stick the landing this time around. Characters with hidden interiors always take the cake for me, and with art this hilarious and beautiful, take my money. Otogi and Toki are already such an adorable pair, balancing this act and finding comfort in one another--AH! I'm in need for the next book.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for providing me with this eArc in exchange for a review

This was a super quick read that I very much enjoyed.
The art style is amazing ! And is laid out so you can clearly follow the story.
The main characters are so multilayered, which I love in books! They have an angel personality to everyone else but to eachother they are something completely different! Dark and mysterious in a way, just want to know more about them

Would love to carry on the series

Sooo I love the premise, but I wish the first volume was longer so it didn't leave on such a cliffhanger. The small portion about the pedo teacher felt out of line/random, but it did give Ninomae depth -- and gave the audience a chance to see him flustered.

4★ // Otogi Katsura—a.k.a. "The School Madonna" and "Heartthrob Angel"—is a first-year high school student and student council president lauded for her angelic demeanour. Her eyes are set on Toki Ninomae, her perfectly handsome vice president. However, neither are who they appear to be. When their true selves are revealed to each other, they form a unique bond, navigating their dual lives while discovering more about their counterpart.. and potential love interest.

First and foremost: the art style and character designs are STUNNING (we love a pink-haired, coquette-ish girlie). This was what initially attracted me to the manga, without having any idea what it was about. (Also, can I say that undercut, ponytailed Toki is so attractive to me.)

Fall In Love, You False Angels departs from the typical shoujo high school romance, with the main female character being quite assertive, witty and sharp-tongued, a great contrast between the delicate facade under which she hides. It's quite refreshing to read, as I love these types of "colder" characters. I can't wait to see what their budding romance blossoms into and to get to know the two more in future volumes!

Otogi, the school’s class president, is beautiful and seen as a “heartthrob angel”, while Toki, the vice president, appears perfect and also beautiful -- but the truth is both have a hidden side that’s dark and brash. I thought the premise was interesting and it was fun watching these two team up. I would’ve liked to explore the characters more and flush out the overall story but still a quick read others might enjoy.

Thanks NetGalley and Kodansha Manga for the copy!

Thank you to NetGalley and Kodansha for the eARC!

This is a really cute manga. Otogi Katsura and Toki Ninomae are the first year president and vice president in their school and are practically perfect in every way. Or so it would seem. The two put on a "perfect" face at school, but outside of school they are both.. a little less polite? Honestly, my biggest complaint about this series so far is that there is not a big enough difference between the "good" and "bad" versions of these characters. I don't feel like their "real" personalities really warrant a cover up.

That aside, this really is very cute. The two characters are pretty likeable on their own, and the dynamic between the two is fun. Otogi's inner turmoil throughout the volume is pretty entertaining, and the art is great. Overall I really enjoyed this one and will probably check out volume two once it's out.

thank you thank you thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the e-arc!!!

i am positively shrieking!! i don't think any shoujo manga has got me feeling like this since Daytime Shooting Star!! it just has that vibe that you can tell it's going to be spectacular. it really is giving Kaguya-sama but this is so different and i love it.

firstly i have to say this art style is absolutely adorable and if not for the story, stay for the very cute art!! i love how cute the fmc looks, but there are subtle shifts from the rose background to sparkles to show when she is trying to be cute vs cool. and the mmc..... god the princely aura he has normally is very nice and shoujo manga but when he turns badass!! so yes, come for the art, stay for that and the story.

and this is just the first volume, but oh god. i like how easy the names of the main characters side of the tongue,, Toki Ninomae and Otogi Katsura. very nice. i love how they have a hidden side to them that they accidentally showed each other and this led to them being able to be true to themselves around each other. i love the Dark Ikkoku persona and their dynamic is actually so sweet i'm going to get diabetes. it's also nice how Toki is opening up to her by inviting her to the cafe where he and Gen-san work....

anyway. back in my shoujo manga era. i will be following this manga now~

Thank you to NetGalley and Kodansha for the ARC.
The "Fall In Love, You False Angels" manga vol.1 by Coco Uzuki is a cute story about Otogi and Toki. They are the role models of their school and based on their looks and immaculate behaviour they are nicknamed as angels. However, the fun begins when they let their guard down and start actually being friends instead of maintaining appearances.
Even though it is a very light read at some point it also brings up topics of Sexual harassment, Sexual assault, Pedophilia from peers and teachers to students.
I like the art style, the story is cute and fun.
This manga is for readers who want a cute quick manga volume about appearances and what happens when the right person gets to know you for who you are.

otogi and toki are the president and vice president of their class, both of them are known for being really popular, kind and having flawless reputations - they're like angels. however, they both have a hidden side they don't show to anyone. that is, until they discover each other's secrets!
this manga felt like a blend of horimiya and kaguya-sama and i had so much fun reading! if you're a fan of those manga and love romcoms you'll probably enjoy this one as well.
the story was fun, the characters are likeable and i found myself laughing multiple times. i really like coco uzuki's art style, it's so pretty and cute! i love the dynamic between otogi and toki and i already want more of them!
i'll probably check out the japanese version because i feel like some things inevitably get lost in translation but i really appreciated the little translation notes at the end. i can't wait to continue reading this!
～thank you to kodansha comics and netgalley for the arc!

The ending was odd, the story felt as if there was no clear "plot". As if it was an empty story where nothing happened.

I'm glad I read it and finished it because it made me appreciate the manga style.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC copy of this manga.

Let me start by saying that I thoroughly enjoyed this manga, the premise is fun, the characters are likeable, the art style is cute and fresh and the protagonists design is really appealing.

On a surface level, this greatly reminds me of Karekano; Otogi's inner monologue is hilarious when her narcissistic side comes out and Ikkoku's twisted personality with sunshine moments is really fun to see.

So, while this manga has really strong points, I must say plot isn't one of them. After the characters are presented I just couldn't see where the story was going, we just saw cute moment after cute moment, but I suppose being the first volume this point isn't that relevant yet.

All in all this was a light, fun read and I'm looking forward to reading the next volume.

This was so cute!! I've read some of Coco Uzuki's other work and I am obsessed with her stories and art style. The cover pulled me in right away!

This did not disappoint!! It had vibes of Horimiya, especially with gap personalities (which I ADORE as a trope) and the two main characters play off each other so well!!

I can't wait to read more chapters, thank you so much for the ARC opportunity!!

A really solid start to a promisingly wonderful story. I am really a big fan of shojo, so I am hoping for big things from Coco Uzuki!

Thank you so much for letting me read this manga. I liked the story but the main character was a little too self centered for my taste.

YES

Give me 1,000 more exactly like this. It gave me all the happy shojo feelings I was looking for. I love the characters and can't wait to see what else is going to happen. And we have a glasses character (I love glasses characters)

Thank you Kodansha for this ARC!

This was a solid first volume with an intriguing premise. I really enjoyed the beautiful and elegant art style, and the way the characters were drawn made them almost too pretty to handle! The story concept—maintaining a perfect public image while having a totally different, more badass private persona that only one person knows about—was fun, even if not entirely new.

One of my favorite aspects was that both the FMC and MMC are on equal footing in terms of popularity, beauty, intelligence, and wit—a refreshing dynamic that added depth to their relationship. However, the romance felt a bit rushed at times, and there were moments when it fell a little flat for me. That said, it was still an enjoyable read, and I’m looking forward to seeing where the next volume takes the story.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Being a fan of manga series like "Horimiya" where the two leads have a hidden side they only show to each other after a coincidental circumstance, "Fall in Love, You False Angels" also brings me joy in that regard. It also stands on its own with a beautiful art style and moments that make your heart skip a beat with how cute they are! The dynamic beween the two leads is one I absolutely love and I can't wait to read the next volume for sure.

I enjoyed this manga, however it felt a little dull to me at times and the characters a little too played up for my personal tastes. The art style is gorgeous and I absolutely loved the way the characters looked. And despite some of the issues I may have had, I'd definitely be interested in reading more.

Great artwork and character design but the romance came on a little too fast. I also feel like Otogi 's "unexpected side" isn't a huge difference from her "angel" side.

I think this is a cute concept for a storyline. I am enjoying the different "versions" of the characters - and the art is stunning. Very curious to see where the series goes from here!
