History BlatantLies / AnimeAndManga

* ''Anime/KazeNoShojoEmily'': When Ilse and Emily come to see Teddy because of his absence from school, his mother tells them Teddy can't see them because he's sleeping. They know she's lying because they can see Teddy from his window and he is clearly not sleeping.

** When Aoi notices a bruise on the underside of Tatsuki's armpit, Tatsuki claims she hit the arm against something, not wanting to admit Keita gave it to her.

* In ''Manga/ShiNiAruki'', near the end, the surviving characters meet with a nurse who helped deliver Tokiko as a baby, in their attempt to settle the [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane central mystery of the manga]]. When the nurse asks how Tokiko is doing, [[spoiler:Akiyami]] states that she is doing well and enjoying her life, rather than reveal that [[spoiler:she had been DrivenToSuicide in the previous chapter]].

* In ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', all of the MiniatureSeniorCitizens claim to have been both normal-sized and [[IWasQuiteALooker very attractive]] when young (particularly the [[DirtyOldMan ultra-lecherous]] [[FairWeatherMentor Happôsai]] and [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Lukkôsai]], who claim to have been dignified, respected {{Bishonen}}s). This is proven to be false in Happōsai's case (who was a homely little dwarf with the exact same standards as the present Happōsai) and is likely the same in Lukkōsai's case. [[TricksterMentor Cologne]], on the other hand, looks the same in both her and Happosai's flashback, so she's probably being honest. [[spoiler:It's confirmed as true in the anime]].

* In ''Manga/SpyXFamily'', Agent Twilight is given an assignment- adopt the name Loid Forger and have his child get into the prestigious Eden Academy so he can get close to and investigate Donovan Desmond, whose son attends the academy, by having Anya get eight Stella Stars(awarded for good deeds and academic honors) and become a scholar. Unfortunately, Anya, the girl Loid adopts, is far from academically gifted.

** And said daughter Anya's hilariously bad excuse given to Mr Henderson as to why Damian, said son whose father Twilight has to investigate, flew into a trashcan after bullying her.

** Shortly before the outing late in August, Kaori claims that her doctors think that her getting some fresh air will be good for her. Shizuku realizes that Kaori's condition has not improved in the slightest.

* ''Manga/TheSummerYouWereThere

** During the group outing to Enoshima, Kaori asks Shizuku and Ruri to get her a drink, resulting in the two having a heart-to-heart talk. While Ruri still hasn't forgiven Shizuku for bullying her and admits that she wouldn't have talked with her if Kaori hadn't asked her to, she recognizes that Shizuku has changed for the betterand wants to get to know Shizuku in the hopes of getting over her trauma. After getting back, Shizuku thanks Kaori, who, in a bit of customary self-deprecation, claims she didn't do anything. Shizuku smiles and thinks, "Liar."

* After the Life Alive concert in ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'', we can see Kyon wolf down his lunch in silence and then casually stroll out of the classroom and declares that [[{{Tsundere}} it's not that he wants to talk to Haruhi about the concert or anything]], he just took a walk to settle his stomach. The narrator is blatantly lying to the viewer!

-->'''Handler''': So what do you think, Twilight? Can we expect an improvement in your daughter's academic performance? We would like you to aim for acquiring eight Stella Stars within the next four months.\\

--> ''Anya:'' [[BadBadActing (In a flat and deadpan voice)]] I was stretching my arm [[MegatonPunch and his face happened to be there.]]

** Endou has an almost hilariously flimsy pretext for asking for money from Shino, saying that they did karaoke for too long (20 minutes after school let out), and don't have enough money for the train (they have passes), so they need 10,000 yen (Roughly $100). Shino sees through it, but it doesn't do her much good.

* In the ''Anime/AceAttorney'' anime adaptation, an anime-exclusive episode "Sound the Turnabout Signal," has [[AmoralAttorney Manfred von Karma]] win in court. When asked by the press about his perfect winning record, he says, "I don't care about my record. I fight for justice. That's my duty." Viewers know that not only does he use all sorts of underhanded means to secure a conviction (the defense attorney in that trial protests that he never heard about that evidence, implying it was forged or concealed from him), but he cares about his record so much that he [[spoiler:murdered Gregory Edgeworth for getting him a penalty]].

* In ''LightNovel/MayoChiki'', Kanade is a master at this. She tells Kureha, the main character Jiro's sister, that [[UnsettlingGenderReveal Subaru]] is in fact a guy in episode 3. Later, in episode 7, Subaru is wearing a bikini and looks like a girl when Kureha once again shows up. Kanade blatantly points out that she's a girl, and is in fact Subaru's "cousin", Punyuru. Kureha once again falls for it.

* ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'' has the title character, whose ManicPixieDreamGirl nature includes claiming her relationship with [[OnlySaneMan Mahiro]] is '''much''' hotter and heavier than it really is. It's actually backfired to an extent, as seen in episode 7 of the second TV series where Mahiro outright says that he can't believe it when she says "I love you" because of all the times she's lied about their relationship.
