Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai featuring Kaede Azusagawa
The most recent key visual for Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai’s third sequel features Kaede Azusagawa. In the visual, Kaede is seen in her hikikomori outfit of panda onesies in a puddle’s reflection, as well as in her outfit for attending high school along with her brother, Sakuta.
The project will adapt the eighth and ninth novels in the series, which primarily detail Sakuta and Mai’s waning time together, as well as Kaede's efforts to reintegrate herself into society. This most recent announcement did not specify the length of the project. However, it did announce that participating theaters are offering advance ticket sets that allow them to see both the Sister Venturing Out and Knapsack Kid projects from the series once each.
A short, 30-second teaser trailer was released for the project earlier this year, primarily featuring Kaede as well as what appeared to be a young Mai Sakurajima. Soichi Masui will be returning to direct this latest Rascal project at CloverWorks, with Masahiro Yokotani returning for composition and scripts and Satomi Tamura returning as character designer. The returning cast includes the following:
- Kaito Ishikawa as Sakuta Azusagawa
- Asami Seto as Mai Sakurajima
- Yurika Kubo as Kaede Azusagawa
- Nao Toyama as Tome Koga
- Atsumi Tanezaki as Rio Futaba
- Maaya Uchida as Nodoka Toyohama
