Artificial life that can laugh and cry

In 'My Merry May,' boarding high school student Kyosuke Watarase receives a device sent by his family, containing the humanoid artificial lifeform Replis, developed by his father and older brother. Kyosuke originally wanted to set her up as the ideal girl, but due to an accident, she activated Re, who behaved like a child. After the secret began living together, Kyosuke and those around him gradually faced the emotional manifestations of her being not an ordinary machine. "My Merry Maybe" shifts to college student Hiroto Kishimori and Re, who has lost his memory and has an unknown origin.

The two protagonists and their relationship changes

At first, Kyosuke only wants a peaceful life, but Reu's appearance forces him to reconsider artificial life and responsibility; Childhood friend Haruna Hitoe, his friend Ryo Hagimoto, and classmates also get involved in their daily lives. In the sequel, Hiroto originally lacked a goal, but after interning in a remote port town, he took in Re, who had lost his memory, and through caring for and spending time together, began to reflect on the meaning of existence. The protagonists and stages of the two stories differ, but they all revolve around Reu's identity, relationships, and emotions.
