Hit Manga 'Reality Keeps Lying Too' Set for TV Anime Adaptation in 2027

Popular manga artist Niichi's hit comic series "Reality Keeps Lying Too" (Genjitsu mo Tamani wa Uso wo Tsuku) is officially getting a television anime adaptation in 2027. The announcement sparked massive celebrations across social media, sending the title trending as fans shared their excitement.

The story is an endearing, slightly awkward romantic comedy revolving around Kaoru, a boy who cross-dresses, and Nanami, a shut-in gamer girl. As their secrets and true feelings intertwine, the series follows their adorable yet agonizingly slow-burn relationship and personal growth. Starting originally as a webcomic on social media, it quickly captured the hearts of readers. To celebrate the anime announcement, the creator, Niichi, released a special commemorative illustration and a message of gratitude.

When the news broke on X (formerly Twitter), long-time fans expressed deep emotion. "I’ve been following this since its indie doujinshi days, so this feels incredibly special," and "I can't believe it's actually getting an anime!" were among the many passionate comments. Some fans reacted with overwhelming joy, posting comments like, "I'm literally crying tears of joy," and "I will survive until 2027 just for this," highlighting the deep affection the public has for this series.

While excitement is high, some dedicated fans are curious about how the adaptation will handle the pacing. "I wonder how they will animate those short, sweet interactions," and "I hope they adapt it all the way to the end instead of stopping at one season," are among the questions being raised. Ahead of the anime, the latest volume of the manga—Volume 9—is scheduled for release on September 16, 2026, with pre-orders currently open. Anticipation is only expected to grow from here.

The Context

"Reality Keeps Lying Too" began its life as an indie webcomic (doujinshi) posted on Twitter (now X) and Pixiv by the artist Niichi, before being picked up for official serialization and print publishing by Kadokawa. This path—from self-published social media hits to major media franchises—has become a highly successful pipeline in the modern Japanese manga industry. The series explores the popular "otokonoko" (cross-dressing boy) trope, combining it with gaming culture to create a sweet, low-stakes slice-of-life romance that resonates deeply with online communities worldwide.
