Rascal Does Not Dream of His Student

The twelfth volume of the Seishun Buta Yarou series introduces a compelling new mystery at Sakuta’s cram school, where an exceptional honor student named Sara Himeji has recently enrolled. As events unfold, Sakuta discovers that Sara is yet another individual afflicted by Adolescence Syndrome—a phenomenon directly linked to Touko Kirishima. However, what makes her situation truly baffling is her unexpected attitude toward her condition. Unlike others who have suffered from this supernatural affliction, Sara seemingly has no desire to be cured, leaving Sakuta to unravel the exact nature of the strange syndrome she harbors and the hidden reasons behind her reluctance to let it go. While Sakuta attempts to navigate the complexities of Sara’s unusual circumstances, a far more urgent crisis threatens to upend his world entirely. Amidst his efforts to understand the new student's affliction, he receives a cryptic and deeply unsettling message warning him that Mai is in grave danger. Now caught between deciphering the enigmatic puzzle surrounding Sara’s Adolescence Syndrome and racing against time to protect the person most precious to him, Sakuta faces a harrowing dilemma. With the stakes higher than ever before, he must confront these converging threats before the mysterious warning becomes a devastating reality.
