Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai

Half a year has passed since Sakuta entered his first year of university. Nodoka Toyohama, comes to him for advice. Uzuki Hirokawa, the leader of Sweet Bullet, an idol group to which Nodoka belongs, begins to receive more offers for solo activities. This causes Nodoka to feel concerned about the group's future. The next day, Sakuta feels something is off when he sees Uzuki in class…

Uzuki begins blending into her friend group’s dynamic. Seeing her out of character behavior, Sakuta suspects she might have Puberty Syndrome. Uzuki’s popularity is growing, thanks to her appearances in the latest commercials and as a guest on variety shows. Behind the scenes during rehearsals, her performance has dropped, and she appears to have become closed off to the other members of the group.

It’s the day of Sweet Bullet’s performance in an ensemble concert at a venue in Odaiba. Sakuta has been worried about Uzuki’s strange behavior, so he and Mai visit the venue where the group is performing. During the performance, Uzuki suddenly loses her voice, leaving the audience unable to hear her. The next day, Sweet Bullet performs at Hakkeijima – without her...

Upon searching the hashtag #DREAMING, numerous posts were found about attending a middle school reunion on November 27th. Ikumi also dreamt about the day of the reunion, but in her dream, she injured someone and was arrested. Sakuta invites Ikumi to visit Minegahara High School, and there, he shares with her the various bizarre things about her that have been bothering him. On the way home,...

Sakuta from the other possible realm sends a message through Ikumi that reads, “Find Touko Kirishima, Mai-san is in danger.” After seeing this message, he tries contacting the Miniskirt Santa, who claimed to be Touko Kirishima. A few days later, he receives a call from her saying that she can meet on December 2nd… which also happens to be Mai’s birthday.

Sakuta dreams that on Christmas Eve, when he is meant to have a sleepover date with Mai, he instead goes on a date with a student named Sara Himeji from the cram school where he works. The Sara in question has the same dream as Sakuta and goes on to confess that she has her own Puberty Syndrome. However, she says that she does not want her Puberty Syndrome to be fixed.

Mai responds to the media, asserting that she is not the real identity of Touko Kirishima on Coming of Age Day. Nevertheless, the impact of the #DREAMING tag on the public discourse was immense, rendering her unable to dispel the rumors completely. By having Mai herself publicly state that she is not Touko Kirishima, Sakuta has fulfilled his promise with the Miniskirt Santa, and the two of them...

After her boyfriend Takumi Fukuyama was unable to remember who she is, Nene completely forgets her own identity, and believes that she is Touko Kirishima. The only person who can correct this Puberty Syndrome is Takumi, and Sakuta believes doing so will help him protect Mai. He and Ikumi Akagi rush off to Hokkaido, where Takumi’s hometown is.
