Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai

Uzuki begins blending into her friend group’s dynamic as her popularity grows.

A Miniskirt Santa suddenly appears before Sakuta. She says her name is “Touko Kirishima” and claims to have been handing out Puberty Syndrome to people as gifts. Sakuta sees her eyes lock on Ikumi Akagi, a former middle school classmate who is attending the same university as Sakuta, studying in the nursing program. Curious about Ikumi, Sakuta goes on a group date with female nursing program students that his friend invited him to. There, they discuss a rumor about people’s dreams coming true after they post about them on social media with the hashtag #DREAMING...

A poltergeist-like phenomenon attacks Ikumi. Sakuta is worried the attack was caused by Puberty Syndrome, but Ikumi claims that the only way to fix this problem is by forgetting about Sakuta’s existence. Hearing this, Sakuta is stunned and confused. Without giving him the time to compose his thoughts, Ikumi proposes that they have a contest, competing to see if Sakuta will remember “that day” first, or if Ikumi will forget about Sakuta first.

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. Sara developed Puberty Syndrome after a heartbreak, and the symptoms of her syndrome ease her anxiety by making her popular with guys, which she has been enjoying. Sakuta warns her that this is a dangerous move. To which she retorts to provoke him, “What should I do so that I can love people. Like you do, Mr. Sakuta?”
