The Rascal Does Not Dream films cover the story of teenager Sakuta Azusagawa, who is living a normal life until he meets another teenager, a girl named Mai Sakurajima, who happens to be an actress and is dressed at the moment as a bunny.

While Sakuta and Mai get along well enough, it leads to the latter discovering that the former is the only one who can see her, which kickstarts a lot of major plot points.

This situation is eventually called "Adolescence Syndrome" and Sakuta discovers that there are more girls going through the same situation. And that is how he decides to discover this mystery.
