Hit Web Manga "Sometimes Even Reality Lies" Set for TV Anime Adaptation in 2027

The masterpiece Sometimes Even Reality Lies (Genjitsu mo Tamani wa Uso wo Tsuku) by manga artist Niichi, who boasts immense popularity primarily on social media, is officially set to receive a TV anime adaptation in 2027. Following the announcement, fans flooded social media with congratulatory messages and surprise, sending related keywords trending and sparking massive excitement online.

A Heartwarming Rom-Com About a Cross-Dressing Boy and a Shut-In Gamer Girl

The series is a daily-life romantic comedy focusing on two unique characters: a cross-dressing boy with a secret and a shut-in gamer girl. It originally began on social media and as a doujinshi (indie comic) titled "A Story About Doing Various Things with a Game-Loving Friend." Its incredibly sweet, "too precious" relationship and delicate psychological storytelling quickly captured the hearts of readers. After being picked up for commercial manga publication, the work has now finally achieved its highly anticipated TV anime adaptation.

Longtime Fans Emotional: "Following Since the Doujin Days!"

As soon as the anime adaptation was announced, celebratory posts flooded X (formerly Twitter) with comments such as "Congratulations!" and "I'm shaking with joy." In particular, dedicated fans who have supported the series since its early web and doujinshi days shared heartfelt messages looking back on its journey. "I'm so deeply moved that it has finally made it to an anime adaptation," and "I've been reading since chapter one, so I couldn't be happier," were among the emotional reactions. Some fans even showed clever humor, playing on the title: "Sometimes even reality lies, but this anime adaptation is no lie!"

Cast Predictions Already Buzzing on Social Media

With the announcement, active discussions have already broken out among fans regarding who will voice the beloved characters. Predictions for the roles of Kaoru and Nanami are flying back and forth based on their distinct personalities, fueling anticipation for the 2027 premiere. Original creator Niichi released a commemorative illustration and a message of gratitude, drawing even more eyes to how the production team will bring this charming world to life on screen.

The context

In the Japanese manga industry, the path to mainstream success has changed dramatically over the last decade. Historically, manga artists had to submit their work to major publishing editors or win newcomer awards to get serialized. Today, social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Pixiv have become major breeding grounds for hit series. Works like Sometimes Even Reality Lies often start as indie projects (doujinshi) posted directly by artists to connect with fans. Once they garner millions of views and a loyal following, they are frequently picked up by major publishers—such as Kadokawa in this case—and eventually adapted into anime. The term "toutoi" (precious/wholesome) is often used by Japanese fans to describe the heartwarming, slow-burn romantic tension found in these slice-of-life webcomics, a genre that continues to dominate fan popularity.

A recent main story teaser from the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the popular mobile RPG Blue Archive has ignited massive excitement among fans. The spotlight is turning back to Gehenna Academy—famously known as the "School of Freedom and Chaos"—with the introduction of a new faction calling itself the "Gehenna Restoration Committee." Rallying under the slogan "Make Gehenna Great Again!", the group seeks to bring back the academy's former sense of order. Currently, Gehenna is defined by a delicate power struggle between the chaotic Pandemonium Society (led by Makoto) and the strict Prefect Team (led by Hina).

Fans on social media are already diving deep into theories, wondering if the "past order" desired by this new committee refers to the tyrant Thunder Emperor's reign, or if the moveme...
