Story
Mai Sakurajima is a third-year student at Minegahara High School and a renowned child actress who took a hiatus from the entertainment industry. Her life takes a supernatural turn when she develops Adolescence Syndrome, a phenomenon where people around her gradually lose the ability to perceive her existence. This leads her to wander public places in a provocative bunny girl outfit to test if anyone notices her. She eventually meets Sakuta Azusagawa, the protagonist, who is the only person capable of seeing her. Throughout the series, Mai is depicted as a mature, hardworking, and somewhat teasing individual who deeply cares for Sakuta. Her character arc explores themes of social pressure, the burden of fame, and the desire to be recognized for who she truly is rather than her public persona. Despite her occasionally sharp tongue, she is incredibly supportive and often sacrifices her own comfort for the sake of those she loves, eventually resuming her acting career while navigating her complex relationship with Sakuta.
