The girl is actually a young woman named Mai Sakurajima, who is not only a student but also a famous actress who is currently on hiatus from the entertainment industry. For some reason, the people around Mai cannot see her bunny figure. Sakuta wants to solve this mystery, and as he spends more time with Mai, he learns about her secret feelings. More people with “puberty syndrome” begin to appear in front of Sakuta.
