About
"Teen anxiety turned into gentle supernatural romance"
A high schooler named Sakuta stumbles onto a famous actress wandering a library in a bunny girl costume, visible to him but invisible to everyone else. It turns out she's suffering from a strange phenomenon tied to adolescent stress and social pressure, and she's not the only one affected. What follows is a low-key supernatural romance that uses each odd affliction as a way into real anxieties about growing up, being seen, and being forgotten. It's talky and introspective rather than flashy, carried by sharp dialogue and a genuinely tender central relationship.
Watch it for
the slow-burn romance that treats adolescent insecurity as genuinely strange and worth taking seriously.
Maybe skip if
you want fast-paced action or dislike dialogue-heavy, introspective storytelling.

Puberty Syndrome—a rumored, mysterious syndrome that only affects those in their puberty. For example, a bunny girl suddenly appeared in front of Sakuta Azusagawa. The bunny girl's real identity is Mai Sakurajima, a teenage celebrity who is currently an inactive high school senior. For some reason, her charming figure does not reflect in the eyes of others. In the course of revealing the mystery behind this phenomenon, Sakuta begins to explore his feelings towards Mai. Set in a city where the skies and seas shine, Sakuta unfolds the meaning behind his bizarre encounters on women with the said syndrome.
