About this title

Synopsis

During a visit to the local library, Sakuta Azusagawa unexpectedly witnesses a bunny girl roaming the halls—only to be further surprised when that bunny girl turns out to be his celebrity upperclassman Mai Sakurajima. When Sakuta realizes that only he can see her, he jumps at the opportunity to help. Mai's enigmatic problem reminds Sakuta of both his own struggles and those of his sister. Each of these are cases of "Adolescence Syndrome," a supernatural condition that warps the lives of teenagers in mysterious ways. As Mai's condition worsens, Sakuta searches for the reason behind her gradual disappearance from the public eye while she still has a chance of recovery. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Gender: Female Age: 17-18 Birthday: December 2 (Sagittarius) Blood Type: AB Height: 5'4" (165 cm) Occupation: Student, Actress, Model Affiliation: Minegahara High School, 3rd year Mai Sakurajima (桜島麻衣, Sakurajima Mai) is the main character of the Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai series. She is a notable actress/model and a third year at Minegahara High School, the same school as Sakuta Azusagawa. Mai is a serious individual, especially around Sakuta Azusagawa. She is very sensitive, polite, levelheaded, helpful, and kind. She isn't harsh by default, but she can become easily annoyed and come across as somewhat snappy or violent especially to Sakuta. Mai tends to ignore and stuff down unpleasant feelings rather than deal with them. Sakuta often points out that she is "dishonest", often lying about her feelings. Despite her snarkiness, she's pure-hearted and even shy around Sakuta's jokes. Mai is also very intelligent; she's implied to have very good grades and even helps Sakuta study at one point. Mai found early fame as a model for television, magazines, and books due to the fact that her mother ran a photographing agency. While she did enjoy her job as a model in the show business, the pressure of being in the public began to take its toll on her. After being tricked and forced to participate in a swimsuit photoshoot by her mother in her early school years, Mai realized she was simply being used as a tool to make her mother easy money and took a hiatus from acting as a way to get back at her, deciding to attend highschool. However, because of work commitments made prior to her decision to go on hiatus she wasn't able to attend school until half-way through her first year. By then, social circles had formed, making her the "odd one out" and causing her to be isolated. As a result, the student body didn't know how to deal with her; While they had no reason to bully her, they also feared associating with her would cause themselves to be isolated as well. Two years and several months since beginning her hiatus, Mai went to a library wearing a bunny costume to see if anyone would notice her. She then came across a boy named Sakuta Azusagawa, who was the only person in the building able to see her. After introducing themselves, however, Mai ordered Sakuta to forget about her.

Gender: Male Age: 16-17 Birthday: April 10 (Aries) Height: 5'7" (172 cm) Occupation: Student Affiliation: Minegahara High School, 2nd year Sakuta Azusagawa (梓川咲太, Azusagawa Sakuta) is the main male protagonist of the Seishun Buta Yarou series. He is incredibly selfless, kind and helpful, but also very snarky. He has a very similar personality to Mai: both are quick-witted, with a sarcastic streak, yet very kind and helpful, with an excellent heart, and always do what's right. Sakuta's most iconic trait is his consistent deadpan face and manner of speech regardless of his emotional state. He will often voice whatever he has on his mind with a calm demeanor. Sakuta is a socially isolated and calm individual as a result of his ordeal with Adolescence Syndrome. While he states that he is not bothered by what people think about him, or care about trying to fit in and be accepted by his classmates, he does admit that rumors about him are sometimes quite painful to hear. Nonetheless, he states that he doesn't care if the whole world would hate him, as long as one person would need him, and isn't hesitant about defying social norms. Sakuta is also not afraid to show his perverted side and will often make blunt and straightforward lewd remarks to the girls he interacts with. However, these comments are mostly jokes he directs at others and are by no means ill intended. (Source: Seishun Buta Yarou Wiki)
