The official website for Seishun Buta Yaro wa Yume-Miru Shojo no Yume wo Minai (Rascal Does Not Dream of Dreaming Girl), an anime based on Hajime Kamoshida's light novel Seishun Buta Yarou, began streaming a new trailer on Wednesday.
The film will be released in Japan on June 15, 2019, and will adapt the sixth and seventh volumes of the light novel series. It will feature the same staff as the anime series, including director Soichi Masui (Chaika the Coffin Princess, Sakura Quest), screenwriter Masahiro Yokotani, character designer Satomi Tamura, and animation production studio CloverWorks.
The film project follows not only the main characters Sakuta Azusagawa and Mai Sakurajima, but also a mysterious girl named Shōko Makinohara. The story depicts when each of their feelings and desires intersect.
As for the cast, the names revealed so far include:
Kaito Ishikawa as Sakuta Azusagawa
Asami Seto as Mai Sakurajima
Yurika Kubo as Kaede Azusagawa
Nao Tōyama as Tomoe Koga
Atsumi Tanezaki as Rio Futaba
Maaya Uchida as Nodoka Toyohama
Inori Minase as Shōko Makinohara
In the series, there's a rumor about a mysterious phenomenon called "puberty syndrome." For example, Sakuta Azusagawa is a high school student who suddenly sees a little girl appear in front of him. The girl is actually Mai Sakurajima, Sakuta's senior athlete, who is also a famous actress currently on hiatus from the entertainment industry. For some reason, people around Mai can't see her bunny girl figure. Sakuta sets out to solve this mystery and spends time with Mai, where he learns her secret feelings. Other heroines who have "puberty syndrome" begin appearing in front of Sakuta.
Kadokawa published the first volume of the light novel series, also titled Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl-senpai no Yume wo Minai, in April 2014. Keeji Mizoguchi provides the illustrations. The seventh and most recent volume was also published in October 2016. Tsugumi Nanamiya launched a manga adaptation of the first volume of the novel in the January 2016 issue of Comic Dengeki G magazine, and Kadokawa published the first volume in October 2016. The television anime adaptation of the light novel premiered in Japan on October 3, 2018, and aired for 13 episodes.
Kamoshida and Mizoguchi previously worked together on the light novel series Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo, which inspired a 24-episode television anime series between 2012 and 2013.
