Bunny girls do not live in libraries. This is simply common sense. And yet, that's exactly where Sakuta runs into one in the wild. More bewildering is who the bunny girl is: Mai Sakurajima, an upperclassman and well-known actress currently taking a break from industry work. Wanting to find out more about the mystery surrounding Mai (and maybe get a little closer to her in the process), Sakuta launches an investigation to figure out what's making this bunny girl invisible to everyone around them.

There's a rumor about a mysterious phenomenon called "puberty syndrome." For example, Sakuta Azusagawa is a high school student who suddenly sees a bunny girl appear in front of him. The girl is actually a girl named Mai Sakurajima, who is Sakuta's upperclassman who is also a famous actress who has gone on hiatus from the entertainment industry. For some reason, the people around Mai cannot see her bunny-girl figure. Sakuta sets out to solve this mystery, and as he spends time with Mai, he learns her secret feelings. Other heroines who have "puberty syndrome" start to appear in front of Sakuta.

Sakuta may have cured Mai's Adolescence Syndrome in the nick of time, but now he faces a no less harrowing task-convincing her to officially date him. After managing to win that round of verbal fencing, he gets some well-deserved rest...only to wake up "yesterday," with all his progress reset. This inexplicable phenomenon seems to be centered on Tomoe Koga, and the only cure is to...pretend to be her boyfriend?!

Out of sight, out of mind! Bunny girls do not live in libraries. This is simply common sense. And yet, that's exactly where Sakuta finds one in the wild. More bewildering is who the bunny girl is: Mai Sakurajima, a girl one year older than Sakuta, famous at their school for her acting career even though she's currently on break. To top it all off, it seems like no one else in the library can see Mai at all, no matter what she does or...wears. Wanting to find out more about this mystery and maybe get a little closer to this beautiful upperclassman in the process, Sakuta launches an investigation to discover why an unforgettable bunny girl keeps becoming totally invisible.

“For the past three days, there have been two Rio Futabas.” After successfully breaking the time loop that he and Koga were trapped in, Sakuta’s threshold for what qualifies as “odd” was higher than most. So seeing his friend Futaba in a net café late at night should have been downright unremarkable—if he wasn’t already on the phone with another Futaba…The ever-logical second-year has a doppelgänger, and neither one can (or will) explain what’s caused this sudden case of Adolescence Syndrome. With one of the Futabas staying at his place, Sakuta will have to work fast in order to solve this. After all, who knows what could happen if the two doppelgängers meet?"

How far can a fake relationship go?

Assuming this weird time slip to be another case of Adolescence Syndrome, Sakuta begins searching for clues and stumbles upon the first-year Tomoe. Though the last time they saw each other involved getting kicked in the butt, now she's desperately trying to avoid getting asked out by the boy her friend is crushing on so she won't be ostracized. One ruse leads to another, and soon news spreads that Sakuta is Tomoe's boyfriend. Now how is he going to explain this to Mai...?
