Rascal Does Not Dream

High school student Sakuta Azusagawa's life takes a turn for the unexpected when he meets teenage actress Mai Sakurajima, dressed as a bunny girl, wandering through a library and not being noticed by anyone else there. Mai is intrigued that Sakuta is the only one who can see her, as other people are unable to see her, even when she is dressing normally or attempting to stay away from celebrity life. Calling this phenomenon {{Nihongo|"Adolescence Syndrome"|思春期症候群|Shishunki Shōkōgun}},{{efn|Also referred to as "Puberty Syndrome" in some translations.}} Sakuta decides to solve this mystery, while continuing to get closer to Mai and meeting other girls who suffer from Adolescence Syndrome as well.

:Harboring a bad reputation after allegedly hospitalizing three people, Sakuta attempts to keep a low profile until his meeting with Mai prompts him to investigate Adolescence Syndrome. His sister Kaede's Adolescence Syndrome affected him as well, leading to him suffering three cuts to his chest. Sakuta's life changes when he meets Mai and helps her overcoming her Adolescence Syndrome, which leads him into getting involved with other girls that suffer the same condition.

: Sakuta is a nice and helpful person, but he is also very snarky. When speaking to others he is incredibly blunt, honest, and straightforward, as well as being prone to lewd jokes. Sakuta is selfless and caring, often willing to sacrifice his time or even his own well-being to help others. His selflessness stems from the Adolescence Syndrome that involved his sister Kaede as well as from his desire to become a kinder person after first meeting Shoko Makinohara. In Rascal Does Not Dream of a Lost Singer, he becomes a college student.

;{{Nihongo|Mai Sakurajima|桜島 麻衣|Sakurajima Mai}}

:{{voiced by|Asami Seto|Erica Mendez}}

:Tired from the pressures of her acting work, Mai decides to take a hiatus and enter a typical high school environment. However as people ignore her presence, she eventually finds that people in certain locations are unable to acknowledge her existence at all. While the inability to see nor hear her spreads to different places, Sakuta agrees to help figure out what is happening, all while they bond and eventually form a romantic relationship. She first meets Sakuta at a library, while she was wearing a bunny girl outfit to test if people would notice her. As time passes, more people start forgetting about Mai's existence until Sakuta himself is left to remember. Sakuta is able to restore Mai's existence and everyone's memories of her when he declares his love to Mai in front of the entire school. After that, Sakuta and Mai attempt to start a relationship, which is made difficult given Mai's acting work. Later, Mai is infected by her half-sister Nodoka's Adolescence Syndrome, causing both girls to exchange physical appearances. It is only when Sakuta helps both sisters reconcile that they return to normal. Mai is the focal character of the first light novel.

:Personality wise, Mai is levelheaded, polite and very kind: she is helpful, denounces Sakuta's bad reputation as false and also has a very soft spot for Kaede. While she can be snarky, she is pure-hearted, and sometimes even shy around Sakuta's lewd jokes. Like Sakuta, she is also very selfless.

;{{Nihongo|Tomoe Koga|古賀 朋絵|Koga Tomoe}}

:{{voiced by|Nao Tōyama|Lizzie Freeman}}

:The focal character of the second light novel, Tomoe is a first year student at Sakuta's high school. She initially meets Sakuta at a park while he was trying to help a young girl look for her mother, which leads Tomoe to accuse Sakuta of being a lolicon. She is very self conscious and asks Sakuta to be her pretend boyfriend so her friends would not say anything bad about her behind her back. However, crazy accusations start up about her and she eventually falls in love with him after seeing him defend her. Unfortunately, Tomoe's feelings for Sakuta cause the last day of their relationship to repeat itself. Sakuta confronts Tomoe about her feelings, which she confesses but ultimately he turns her down. Even so, they agree to be friends.

;{{Nihongo|Rio Futaba|双葉 理央|Futaba Rio}}

:{{voiced by|Atsumi Tanezaki|Jenny Yokobori}}

:The focal character of the third light novel, Rio is the sole member of the science club at Sakuta and Mai's high school and one of Sakuta's only friends. She initially believed Adolescence Syndrome is a myth until she suffers it herself. Due to lacking confidence in her appearance, a clone of hers appears with a different personality and who posts suggestive pictures of herself online to punish herself. The two Rios merge into one person again when Sakuta helps them both accept themselves and the friendships they have made.

;{{Nihongo|Nodoka Toyohama|豊浜 のどか|Toyohama Nodoka}}

:{{voiced by|Maaya Uchida|Cristina Vee}}

:The focal character of the fourth light novel, Nodoka is Mai's half-sister and a member of an idol group. She swapped bodies with Mai due to her inferiority complex, but swapped back after realizing that she did not have to be exactly like Mai. The half-sisters only return to normal after reconciling.

;{{Nihongo|Kaede Azusagawa|梓川 かえで|Azusagawa Kaede}} / {{Nihongo|Kaede Azusagawa|梓川 花楓|Azusagawa Kaede}}

:{{voiced by|Yurika Kubo|Kayli Mills}}

: Sakuta's younger sister and another victim of Adolescence Syndrome, Kaede mysteriously began to suffer injuries after suffering online bullying and getting death threats on her cellphone that left her with a phobia of strangers. She only made a recovery after she stopped using social media or going to school. After that, she stays at Sakuta's apartment, with only her cat to keep her company. She is extremely fond of her brother and frequently climbs into bed with him while he is sleeping. It is later discovered that Kaede is suffering from dissociative disorder. She had forgotten who she was and became a completely different Kaede. She eventually regains her old memories but forgets the events of the previous two years. Although Sakuta is saddened that the sister he has come to know has ceased to exist, he nevertheless accepts the return of his original sister and decides to help her regain her old life. Kaede is the focal character of the fifth light novel.

;{{Nihongo|Shoko Makinohara|牧之原 翔子|Makinohara Shōko}}

:{{voiced by|Inori Minase|Risa Mei}}

:The focal character of the sixth and seventh light novels, Shoko has the same name as Sakuta's first crush. She is a shy middle school student who bumps into Sakuta during a rain storm. It is later revealed that she is the Shoko that Sakuta met during his episode, but had moved away to recover from a heart transplant. After Kaede regains her memories, Shoko appears to Sakuta again and helps him move past his grief after losing the Kaede he had come to know over the past 2 years. When Sakuta calms down, Shoko departs, but later returns and declares that she will be living in Sakuta's house for a period of time, much to the dismay of Mai. It is later revealed that there are 2 versions of Shoko in their timeline, and that the older version only exists because Sakuta will die in a car accident on Christmas day, resulting in his heart being donated to Shoko, allowing her to continue living, hence the reason behind Sakuta's scars. When Mai sacrifices herself to save Sakuta from the accident, Shoko helps Sakuta travel back in time to fix his mistake and save Mai. She also travels back to her elementary school timeline to mend the problem causing her Adolescence Syndrome, creating an alternate timeline where Sakuta and Mai never meet Shoko. They later reconcile when Sakuta sees Shoko by the beach and remembers all the memories the two of them shared from the previous timeline.

| ShortSummary = On May 29, Sakuta Azusagawa wakes up from a hazy dream and finds a journal which describes how, on May 6, he met a senior from school wearing a bunny girl costume in the Fujisawa Library. Her name, however, has been mysteriously erased from the journal. Mai Sakurajima, a teen celebrity, went to the library wearing said costume that day to test if people there could still see her. When Sakuta noticed her presence, she advised him to forget her once he left. While on hiatus, she enters school midway through the year, after the students have already formed their social circles. To maintain the status quo, no one has befriended her and her existence remains largely ignored. However, she has lately realized through experiments that aside from school, there were other areas where people have also become unable to acknowledge her existence. Those areas continue to grow and is becoming an inconvenience. Believing that she has the "Adolescence Syndrome", an urban legend about special powers that affected his sister Kaede in the past, Sakuta tries to help figure out what was happening to prevent her from disappearing completely from peoples' memories.

Sakuta and Tomoe eventually fall on top of each other by accident, angering Maezawa and Mai when they spot the two. Thinking he will be stuck in another loop, Sakuta wakes up to discover it is June 28. Tomoe later proposes she and Sakuta enter a fake relationship until the start of summer break.

After meeting up with Mai, the couple spot Rio entering an Internet café; when Sakuta tries to call her to find her in the building, Rio answers the call, but they spot the Rio in the library without a phone. As such, they corner her and she admits that there are indeed two concurrent Rios in synchronic existence. The Rio from the library goes with them to Sakuta's apartment, where she suggests the duplication is a result of two personalities that move via quantum teleportation.

When he returns home, Kaede greets him in her school uniform, while Mai gives him tickets to Nodoka's idol group's upcoming concert. Although Mai excels in the performance, Nodoka is distraught when she observes her mother praising Mai, something she did not do with her. At the beach, Nodoka attempts to drown herself, before Sakuta catches her and tells her that Mai does indeed love her. Back home, Nodoka demands an explanation, so Sakuta gives her the box he found, which contains letters she wrote to Mai when they were younger; Mai explains she read and kept them to motivate her through the stress of her work. She adds Nodoka's mother has worried for her happiness as she tries to live up to expectations, urging her to pursue her own goals. As they embrace, the two revert to their original bodies. Rio proposes the phenomenon is a variation of quantum teleportation from Nodoka wanting to be like her older sister and possibly Mai's jealousy of her younger sister. Nodoka later moves in with Mai following an argument with her mother, while Mai's relationship with Sakuta goes public.

With no one around, Kaede is comforted by the trip and proclaims she is ready to attend school again. The next morning, however, Kaede's old self has returned at the price of her recent memories.

| ShortSummary = While visiting Kaede in the hospital, Sakuta breaks into tears and regrets his inability to save the life she just lost, causing his scars to reopen. An older Shoko soon treats his injuries. As he is bathing, she reads entries from Kaede's diary that she began writing shortly after her initial memory loss; expecting to regain her old memories and Sakuta to respond negatively, Kaede created her list of goals to provide him with happy recollections once she reverted to her past self, further devastating Sakuta. The next day, Sakuta spots a note left by Shoko before finding out both versions of her have disappeared entirely; Rio suggests Shoko was an illusion created by Sakuta. Mai frees up time to visit Sakuta at home, but storms away angrily when she finds Shoko's note. Sakuta promptly follows her to her filming location. On an impromptu date, Mai apologizes for not being there to help him through his crisis, to which he answers he is simply happy to have her by his side. As Sakuta and Kaede pack their bags at the hospital, he thanks her and she states her interest in going to school, knowing she is no longer alone.
