LOVE and LIES

In Yukari Nejima's world, the government assigns marriage partners when citizens turn sixteen. On the eve of his sixteenth birthday, Yukari finally confesses his feelings to Misaki Takasaki, the childhood crush he has loved for years.

His timing creates an immediate dilemma. Rather than being matched with Misaki, Yukari receives an official assignment pairing him with Ririna Sanada, a girl chosen for him by the system. He is now caught between a relationship built on long-held feelings and one created by social obligation. The conflict forces Yukari, Misaki, and Ririna to question whether love can be decided by personal choice when the government has already chosen otherwise.
