The anime landscape is buzzing with anticipation as Kadokawa unveils the main promotional video and key visual for the upcoming television anime adaptation of Harunadon’s beloved novel series, “Even a Replica Can Fall in Love.” This highly anticipated series, known as “Replica Datte, Koi o Suru” or “Even a Replica Falls in Love,” has captured the hearts of many with its unique storyline and compelling characters.

The promotional video, released on Wednesday, introduces a new cast member who will bring depth and intrigue to the narrative. Fans can look forward to seeing Ryota Suzuki in the role of Akiya Sanada, a character who adds a layer of complexity to the story. Akiya, once the star of the school’s basketball team, faces a dramatic shift in his life after an injury and a mysterious influence from an upperclassman lead him to join the literature club.

Sumire Morohoshi will lend her voice to the dual roles of Sunao Aikawa and her replica, Nao. Sunao, a second-year high school student, often sends her replica to school when she feels unwell or simply doesn’t want to attend. This unique premise sets the stage for a story filled with emotional depth and unexpected twists.
