posted on by Adriana Hazra
Muse Asia began streaming the television anime based on Musawo's Love and Lies manga on YouTube on Friday. The channel will stream four episodes of the anime daily and the series will be available on the channel until June 30.
Muse Asia describes the story:
"Falling in love with someone" - Do people fall into that trap without realizing it? In a near-future world where marriage partners are assigned by the government, it gives hope as well as despair. An ordinary girl, Aoi, receives a notice from the government, which assigns her to marry a random but genetically perfect boy, Sosuke.
However, she realizes she has special feeling toward her childhood friend, Yuto.
In a world where love is not free will, Aoi struggles between Sosuke and Yuto.
The anime premiered in July 2017. Seiki Takuno (Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches, Poco's Udon World, Sekkō Boys) directed the anime at LIDEN FILMS. Natsuko Takahashi was in charge of series composition. Eriko Itō drew the animation character designs, and was also the chief animation director.
Musawo launched the manga in DeNA's MangaBox app in both English and Japanese in August 2014, and within a month, it ranked as the app's most popular work with 3.5 million viewers. A separate live-action film adaptation also opened in 2017. The manga returned from its final hiatus on December 5 and its serialization had two separate endings. The manga's 12th and final compiled book volume shipped on January 7. There are two different versions of the 12th volume, one for the Ririna ending and one for the Misaki ending.
