On an April night in Tokyo, still too early for fireworks, university student Kakero Mano meets a woman named Koharu Fuyutsuki.

She attends university daily, shows interest in clubs, makes friends—and dreams...

HER FACE MAY BE SUNAO’S, BUT HER FEELINGS ARE HER OWN.When Sunao is sick, or has a test to take, or simply doesn’t feel like going out, I take her place. I’m her replica, her stand-in. My purpose is to help her, to do whatever she asks and nothing more. But when I fall in love, everything changes. I start putting my hair half-up, so the boy I like knows it’s me, and spend time with him as myself. I’m her replica, and everything I have is borrowed. But my heart is mine alone.

WHAT ARE REPLICAS, AND WHERE DO THEY COME FROM? I’m a replica—a copy who must fill in for her original whenever she’s asked. But now I’ve lost my purpose, and Sunao, my original, is starting to scare me. I can’t tell what she’s thinking at all. While she’s away on a school trip, Aki and I visit Ryou’s hometown, and I finally begin to unravel the mystery of my creation. But am I ready to face the truth of what I am and the secrets Sunao has been keeping from me?

If Asuka decides to pursue her dreams, she’ll be leaving for Tokyo soon to help ...

Stalemate.It’s September, the month after summer vacation, the transition into fall. It’s also time to start getting ready for the culture festival, and Chitose’s group teams up with two girls from other grades—Asuka from third year and a first-year named Kureha—to prep for some of the events. After everything that happened this summer, no one is eager to upset the delicate, hard-won balance. But how long can they afford to go without change…?

Reaching for the moonThe summer of Chitose’s second year in high school was unforgettable, lit up with encounters like fireworks across the short-lived night sky.

But if it seems too good to be true, it probably is—which is how Saku Chitose ends up pretending to be Yuzuki’s boyfriend to catch a stalker.
