In Even a Replica Can Fall in Love, Sunao can create a replica of herself known simply as Nao. Whenever Sunao is feeling depressed and listless, she has her replica take her place at school. They’ve never run into any problem until now, because the replica has never deigned to step out of line. But when Nao starts befriending a male classmate — and we already know from the title that she’s destined to fall in love with the guy — things start to get a little complicated for the two girls. Will the original come to resent her replica? It sure seems like we’re headed in that direction. The whole episode is a downer in general, because Nao keeps insisting that she merely exists for Sunao’s benefit. You just know that as her relationship with the boy progresses, the existential dread will become louder and louder until disaster strikes.
