So both love both of em, and both glad Ririna's the assigned wife. Bit odd open ending.
Strange show where the directing flow is engrossing, but rather little progression in relationships.

I think Ririna just deserved so much more and they also didn't reveal what was troubling Misaki which was disappointing overall it was a 5/10 for me.

I am mad, I thought he would make his choice...Ririna even gave him a idea of how he could cancel their marriage! If he really loved Misaki likes he claim he should not think twice! But no, he wants both! Damn guy...I just hope Ririna finds someone who can make her happy, she is so nice...and Misaki, I think she is sick or something...

WOW that was awful or even average. I can't believe I had hopes for this anime and it turned out to be boring and the ending was just WTF.

The MMC should of just picked 1 girl and not deciding and where is the EXPLAINATION of the lie to which she needs to hide between the pairs.

Edit: What about the Nisaka guy kissing him at episode 3, this is also left unanswered and the guy and girl relationship seems like there is something going on.

Fuck this! Fuck everything! It is implied that Nejima gets both Ririna and Misaki and NEJIMA DOESN'T EVEN GET A HAPPY ENDING!!! 6/10! WHY! I FUCKING HATE THIS ENDING!

I've calmed down now. When I first read the synopsis of this anime three months ago, I thought this show was gonna delve into the science-based vs. romantic feelings of love. I even got more excited when they introduced Nisaka's secret like for Nejima and then they proceeded to forget Nisaka's feelings for Nejima until ep 12... ugh. Not really much to expect from this mediocre fanservice anime anyway but I find it cowardly that the directors decided that choosing both is better than sticking to just one.

AND NISAKA SUFFERS IN THE END! WHY?! HE DESERVED BETTER!

Hm... the show gets pretty boring after the first half, specially when starts all that Romeu and Juliet (so cliche ><)

On the contrary of many, I liked the idea of them 3 ending up together even though it's not official or declared, it feels like a mutual love between them - harem.

Before starting Koi to Uso I was expecting that it'll be that kind of anime series that end with nothing. And what I got? Exactly, nothing. Through the whole series Yukari's behavior didn't bother me so much as in the final episodes.

Anyway, we've got the introducion or I'd better say the animated manga advertisement. If we want to know how it end we must read manga or wait for 2nd season (which I doubt).

This was a really good show until that last episode. I lost it when Ririna and Yukari finally let their true feelings out instead of hiding behind the 'lie.' I though for sure it was going to end the way I wanted - Yukari chooses his true assigned wife Ririna since clearly for a long time they've loved each other now...pretty obvious. I wanted Misaki to remain friends and hopefully get assigned to Nisaka (only viable outcome that isn't totally terrible for Nisaka if you ask me...then he still gets to see Yukari)

I hear the Manga is drastically different and from what I've read after this chapter the show ends on *like 118) it's getting very interesting. Team Ririna for life :)

PS - Manga goes into backstory of the two government workers relationship!

I really hate this main character, he only knows to be in doubt, only the nisaka to put something useful in his head...
At the end he he realizes that he loves both of them and can't decide... Really... Man.....I prefer a final with a harem of the two than an open ending like that.

opinion: he should date Misaki soon or end up alone at once :P

It literally states that they both ignore their love, because protecting Misaki is more important. So mad that he doesn’t just accept his full on love for Ririna 😡

Yukari, how come you couldn't see the best conclusion for all of these, it's polygamy. Just like what you did right now, you should marry both of them. Both of the girls said if they love each other, so, it will be a win-win condition to polygamy.

Damn that anime original ending. This anime ended in the first half of this episode for me at the end of the night in the inn... what came after was just the delusions of staff who wanted a wishy-washy cop out harem ending that also probably lets them get away without a sequel later with what the manga has left to offer.

I'd say a lot of it was adapted well enough from the manga, with special praise for the excellent voice acting; I could forgive some arc order swaps here and some filler skips there but that ending nearly ruined it all.

While watching, I listed up to 10 changes the anime did, some of which I find hard to forgive...

Love and lies (the anime adaptation) had a lot of pontential based on the story and its premise the problems is, my enjoyment for the anime kept on decreasing as the series goes on. The stem of my problem is from the main character. Having a main character that isn't densed is a good thing but him being constantly undecisive is where the anime lost me. The first episode was very promising and so is the conflict afterwards with the arrival of lilina? or Ririna? and the idea of forbidden love (Nisaka's feelings) but after that the story was in a constant loop. If the main lead really love his childhood friend isn't it better if they had an open discussion with his family, lilina's family and misaki's family instead of trying to resolve the problem themselves and going nowhere? It tries to be interesting and unique but in the end it's just rom-com anime #4981.

OF FUCKING COURSE he wouldn't choose someone now when the manga is still going.

Seriously, most people here should already have more than enough experience with anime to know that a conclusive ending would not happen.

Anyway, I'm giving this show a lowkey 6/10.

Ehh? I thought there was still a mystery to solve? What's with the notices in the beginning and what's with Takasakis lie?
And I don't really get the ending either like he doesn't even choose one he just goes the harem route? It's just like telling us oh yeah I'm going to date both until I realize who my real soul mate is. I mean that's some super dissapointing ending and I feel like a lot of the stuff they tried to explore just went nowhere and the anime ends nowhere, too.

"Scientifically perfect match" is the biggest lie here.
It takes two somewhat compatible persons and binds them together.
Just see: 'scientifically proved' premise, heavy family and society pressure, government measures to prevent breaking — why you would need all that if match was really perfect? Just let destined people to meet and voila: they would be ever happy without any push.
But this is not 'perfect match'. This is a system that works the same way as traditional arranged marriage. You are not destined to be together, you have to work it out and adapt to each other because you have no choice. It's a big government lie to increase birth rates.

That is why I despise author greatly — he makes characters fight wrong enemy. System is wrong here. Screw it over. Make Nejima go main office and say — "Go to the hell with your notices, remake it and let us live our way". See the truth.

I really liked the kiss scene with Ririna. But the rest of the episode wasn't that interesting.

I really liked most of the show. But the last few episodes lost some steam.

I would've given an 8/10, but after the last few episodes, I'd give it 7.5/10 overall.

Honestly, the anime did not meet my expectations, The main character was beta-kun and different aspects of the story remained unclear.The animation was good, but the shape of the head of the characters was like an egg and their eyes were huge!!

i liked ending song and also OST was decent as expected from Yokoyama Masaru compositions (he worked on Kuzu no honkai and Shigatsu wa kimi no uso)

I am quite sure it havent end for the manga.

For anime overall the OST is quite great,
I loved the Shoujo Art though the Genre on manga is implied to be Shounen lol.

I wonder why alot of people bashed this objectively?
If i was in Yukari place i would've done the same,
If i choose different or the opposite things are the same because in every people all everything is wrong.
Same apply to mal ratings,
Everything is subjective when it comes to option.

Though sadly nisaka havent got much screentime to confess his feeling.
The whole story seems doesnt properly linking each other yet which i already mentioned it havent ended on source material.

For the harem ending, i am not sure (or poligamy that is),
Just assumption its kinda obvious that Misaki assigned husband would be Nisaka.
Unless a new person pop out of nowhere and theres also Shuu,Kagetsu,and Motoi story havent properly covered.

Well it was okay. I don't mind the open ending that much and I would prefer a harem ending instead of picking one over the other. But I read that it is somewhere between Kuzu no Honkai and Nisekoi in terms of the plot. And after completing this show I feel the same way. The story wasn't that amazing. It has this absurd and ridiculous concept of the government deciding your life partner without your consent or choice that you can't reject without dire consequences. It's almost like dictatorship. In addition, there is a typical scenario of an indecisive beta protagonist who is unaware of his own feelings and two female protagonists who value each others feelings more than their own. But the show has a lot of physical interaction and secrets which I hope they uncover in S2.

However, the show makes true love feel pointless because in the end you might just fall in love with some random stranger you are paired with against your will. I can only imagine the amount of unhappy couples this leads to. But the anime tries to justify this with scientific reasoning and testimonials of other characters. And it kind of seem like the story is heading that way even if Yukari says he loves them both. But I just hope it doesn't end up like Nisekoi manga did.

oh well, I smell an ending like this a mile ago. I feel like wasting my time watching this.
Nejima come out his true feelings, but didn't say it out loud.

basically, the three of them entered the state where they're all can't live without each other, because Nejima took this so long to decide. thanks to Nisaka that makes Nejima to move.

please, no second season if only would bring me more feels train. and I wouldn't bother to read the manga, since it only bring me more feels train and hurt my heart.

Although the show got repetitive at times and didn't truly resolve the relationships I was engaged the entire time. And the art's great. I can't blame Yukari for falling for both of them. I mean he's still young and hardly even knows himself. Misaki kept saying that she "couldn't" but wouldn't reveal why. I thought maybe it had something to do with protecting Yuusuke but I guess not. The kissing scene with Ririna really was lovely (she just wanted to practice, right? And of course nice guy Yukari felt obliged to accommodate.

I'm not a fan of open endings like this, but from what I understand the manga is still going, so an original end might have been bad.....plus now there could be a season 2, and I'm all for it. (team Ririna(not often I change my mind mid anime for best girl))

7/10 could be bumped up if there is a season 2.

Hm. Idk, mang. The story concept is interesting and I feel like it had potential. But too much wishy-washy, back and forth scenarios, confusion, drama, never finding a proper solution and just how wrong the whole situation was in the first place-- :/

Both are good girls. I still don't know who to root for. Ehhhh.

5/10 for me. Not the greatest anime.

I really liked Nisaka but felt too sorry for him :( he's always quietly being the good guy without getting what he deserves. Neji is a weak MC as well. I still liked his personality and I understand he doesn't want to hurt anyone, but still. Such a messy situation to be in :3 Mixed feelings about this anime, but overall sticking with my rating.

Terrible ending, ruined the series a little bit for me, it sucked, knowing it's anime original and he couldn't choose between one of them, afraid there may be heartbreak. His heart probably already knew who he's gonna choose aka Ririna, but he's still holding onto his crush that was Misaki. I've read chapter 116-124 as suggested, and the story of Yajima makes it even more apparent that Neji is going to choose his true love.. though who it is, remains the question.

Also, both Misaki and Ririna are wasted on Neji, didn't like how Neji is such a beta cuck. Stop getting flustered over everything and be such beta when girls get mad at you, don't apologize immediately without knowing what you did wrong man, that's not even being kind anymore, that's just insincere. Really no clue what they see in this blockhead that's not even all that interesting, feel like he's a self-insert protagonist, meaning trash. Ending further enhances Neji's indecisiveness.

OST is decent, gives off a "dangerous" vibe, but sometimes it's misplaced, sometimes it's overplayed. Overall positive.

Through tears and smiles, I loved the experiences this anime brought me.
Getting to learn more about Ririna and Misaki, riding through their emotions and witnessing their strength to endure sacrificing one's self for the happiness of their loved ones was memorable.

Due to my selfish desires I loved this ending. I don't wish to make a decision between the happiness of either of them.

I stand by my original statement: they're more than capable of being a very stable and happy threesome because of mutual love and compersion.
I'm not familiar with Polygamy but in my mind I regarded it with a sense of being unpure or loose, like "friends with benefits" or questionable "forced marriage" for the benefit of one. Entirely contrary to these believes, I would love to accept this anime as a bitter-sweet transition to a heartwarming glimpse of a situations where three or more people CAN love and accept each other in such a way. I believe a big part of society doesn't accept three way marriages and I think it's even illegal here. That mentality may be a part of why people in this thread feel unsatisfied without a clear side being chosen, but personally I've come to see their three way love as "pure", acceptable as an ending to stop their self-sacrificing ways and legal if they were to agree to it. Granted, I don't know how jealousy works in this kind of situation... But they could figure it out somehow.

A certain 10/10 anime for causing so many emotions in me and opening my mind to a different kind of love.

I totally agree with this, It's clear that Neji is in love with both of them and they both are extremely close friends and were willing to give him to the other so I think a relationship between all 3 of them could work out.

Regardless of it's flaws it was likely the only way a happy ending could be achieved, if he had picked one of them then the other would have been left miserable.
