Furthermore, the magazine revealed that rock group Frederic will play the series’s opening theme song, Kanashii Ureshii (Sad and Happy).
The Love and Lies anime is based on Musawo’s manga of the same name. Seiki Takuno (Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches, Sekko Boys) is directing the project at Liden Films. The show is slated to hit Japanese TV on July 3.
The series will star the following:

Musawo’s Love and Lies manga began publication on the MangaBox app in August 2014. Five collected volumes have been released to date, with Volume 6 due to hit stores on June 9.
