Rascal Does Not Dream of Petite Devil Kohai

Sakuta Azusagawa has barely managed to pull Mai Sakurajima back from the brink of Adolescence Syndrome, but his trials are far from over. His next daunting challenge is entirely romantic: persuading Mai to officially become his girlfriend. After a tense and witty battle of words, he finally s쳮ds in winning her over. Exhausted but victorious, Sakuta allows himself a moment of well-earned rest, only to awaken and discover that time itself has betrayed him. He finds himself thrust back into "yesterday," with every hard-won step of his progress completely erased. This baffling temporal loop defies all logic, trapping him in a cycle where his recent achievements vanish overnight. As Sakuta investigates the cause of this disorienting phenomenon, he traces its origin to Tomoe Koga, a younger student whose own struggles have seemingly fractured reality around them. To break the cycle and restore the natural flow of time, Sakuta is presented with an absurd ultimatum. The only apparent remedy for Tomoe's condition requires him to feign a romantic relationship with her. Now, he must navigate the delicate complexities of pretending to be her boyfriend while desperately trying to protect the genuine connection he just forged with Mai.
