The romantic drama Love and Lies, a 12-episode series from LIDENFILMS, is now available with an English dub and subtitles on HIDIVE. The completed series adapts the manga of the same name, exploring a near-future society where marriages are determined by government compatibility.
Set in a world where the government assigns marriage partners at age 16 to combat low birth rates, the story follows Yukari Nejima, a young man who finds himself falling for another girl despite his assigned match. The premise offers a unique twist on classic romance and school drama tropes, delving into themes of free will versus societal control.
LIDENFILMS, known for their work on other romantic and fantasy series like The Hero Is Overpowered but Overcautious and Cells at Work! CODE BLACK, produced the adaptation. The series originally aired in Summer 2017.
