A story about truth and lies
Sugar Lies is a summer "boy meets girl" story that explores the contrast between sincerity and social masks. The main character, Akito Nagatsuki, feels physical disgust and nausea whenever he encounters lies or acting. Everything changes when he meets Yui Sakuramiya, a girl who perfectly plays the role of her "ideal self."

- Akari Yukihira (voiced by Hikaru Iida) — Akito's childhood friend, a theater actress, and a casual otaku.
