More about the project

The upcoming movie is a sequel to Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl (2019). It was announced in mid-2022 and it is adapted by CloverWorks, the same production company that has done the previous installment in the past, with almost the same working staff.

The story is about a group of teenagers during their high school days. There are characters like Sakuta and Mai that are enjoying life as teenagers in their school, going through classic teenage drama. There is also Kaede, who is struggling a lot with going outdoors, which is one of the biggest plot points of the film.

Since Kaede is slowly adapting to the process of going outside, she is starting to have a major ambition: to go outside and attend her brother’s high school, which is going to require a whole new level of adaptability.
