Love & Lies

恋と嘘

Koi to Uso

Lilina Sanada has been legally matched with a boy who loves someone else, and she is fine with that. She is curious about romance and wants to watch it up close. The boy is Yukari Nejima, an unremarkable student who likes studying ancient burial mounds. Misaki Takasaki, his crush since the fifth grade, returns his feelings when he confesses the night before he turns sixteen. Then the notice arrives. This alternate Japan fights its falling birth rate by law: at sixteen every teen is handed a future spouse chosen by compatibility, and refusing is punished severely. Yukari's match is Lilina. She urges him to keep seeing Misaki while all three fool the officials on their case. It suits readers who like romance drama with a dystopian hook and a mix of comedy and heartache.
