Kadokawa's Winter 2026 anime lineup will include an adaptation of the manga "Replica datte, Koi wo Suru." Titled "Even a Replica Can Fall in Love," the series hails from Studio Voil, known for their work on "Kono Oto Tomare! Sounds of Life." The story centers on a substitute who takes over for a classmate, developing a secret friendship that leads to romantic complications when her true nature is discovered. The supernatural school drama follows a protagonist created as a stand-in for Sunao, living a hidden existence to attend school in Sunao's stead. Her carefully constructed secret is threatened when a classmate, Sanada, begins to notice her unique characteristics, prompting her to set boundaries for their budding relationship. Fans can anticipate a blend of romance and supernatural elements as the series explores themes of identity and connection. With "Replica datte, Koi wo Suru." being the original manga source, the anime adaptation promises to bring this unique premise to life for a new audience.
