Since everyone is hating on Koi to Uso because of the ending I thought I would write a review to show that it's really not that bad.

First off, I found the story very interesting I have read a book series before with a similar plot of government arranged marriages so I was excited to see that played out again in a different setting. This story is all about Nejima Yukari and how he deals with his feelings for his 5 year long love and his new assigned future wife who everyone says he now has to love. If you are a fan of romance and ... drama then you should definitely give Koi to Uso a try.

I thought their love story was pretty different in the good way. I mean growing up in a society where loving whoever you want is forbidden and you are told to marry someone you have never even seen before? It's like arranged marriage backed by the science they use on online dating sites. The science part saying "Don't worry you will fall in love with this person because all the data says you are perfect for each other!" We live in a society where being able to love who you want is a big deal so this story shows you what it's like if that wasn't the case. Would you prefer to love whoever you want or fall in love with the person assigned to you?

I don't understand why so many people are disappointed in the ending. Yes, it has an open ending with nothing totally figured out but this story is coming from an on-going manga so of course the story isn't going to end there. But does that make the show bad? No. It was still interesting. And in my opinion a good anime should make you want to read the source material to know more and this ending was a good way to make that happen.

So all in all give it a try! It's an interesting take on what love really is.
