After the events of the anime, Sakuta's story was far from over, from heartbreak

to healing, and even that wasn't the end. Here's everything you need to know

about all three Bunny Girl Senpai movies.

The story begins with Sakuta finally living a peaceful life, after helping

several people with their adolescent syndrome, including his own sister

He's now focused on preparing for college and enjoying his relationship

Mai. Everything feels stable, until Shoko Makinohara appears.

Shoko, a cheerful middle school girl who mysteriously resembles the girl Sakuta

once met. He was the one who helped him when he was at his lowest.

Struggling with his sister's adolescent syndrome, Shoko suddenly begins staying

at Sakuta's home, bringing with her a warm but unexplainable presence.

Sakuta encounters a younger Shoko during a visit to the hospital.

Later, he and Mai speak with the adult Shoko, who reveals that she is

ill with a serious heart condition.

From that point on, Sakuta begins visiting the younger Shoko every day,

closer to her as he tries to understand her situation.

After all this, the adult Shoko reveals, in one timeline, she survives because

Sakuta dies in a car accident on Christmas Eve, becoming her heart donor.

Her adolescent syndrome allows her to exist across timelines, driven by her

desperate will to live. The young Shoko is a manifestation of that inner hope

and fear, pulled into the present by this supernatural distortion.

Sakuta is devastated.

Though he deeply wants to save Shoko, the thought of leaving Mai behind, of

grieving over his death, is unbearable. Torn between his natural selflessness

and the person he loves most, Sakuta finds himself trapped in an impossible

dilemma. He doesn't know what to do. If he sacrifices himself, Shoko lives, but

Mai will be left alone.

If he does nothing, Shoko will die, and the guilt would haunt him forever.

He tries to hide his inner turmoil, but Mai sees through him.

Mai has always understood Sakuta better than anyone.

She knows he would never let someone die if he could stop it. Especially not a

girl like Shoko, who still has her whole life ahead of her. And that terrifies

Mai. She can't bear the thought of losing him. Even if Sakuta believes it's

right thing to do, she refuses to accept a world without him in it.

While Sakuta rushes to the crash site, fully prepared to sacrifice himself, his

determination is unwavering, even if it means giving up his life to save Shoko.

Mai steps in to save Sakuta, taking his place in the accident.

On Christmas Eve, she ensures that she is the one standing where Sakuta was

supposed to be. Mai is lying in a pool of blood. The shock is immediate. The

love of his life, gone. The pain is unbearable. And when he realizes what

done, that she gave her life for him, his heart shatters.

In this timeline, Shoko survives with Mai's heart, but Sakuta is no longer the

same. He walks through life as a shell of himself, consumed by sorrow and

regret. Even Shoko, though saved, feels the heavy weight of Mai's sacrifice.

He refuses to let this be the ending, no matter how impossible it seems.

Sakuta vows to find a future where no one has to be sacrificed.

Not Shoko, not Mai.

Adult Shoko, who knows she will vanish if history is rewritten, offers to help

one last time.

Together, they can return to Christmas Eve and undo the chain of events leading

to either death. Using the power of adolescent syndrome, Sakuta materializes

back on that fateful evening, but isolated, unrecognized.

Inspired by Mai, he dons the iconic pink rabbit suit she once wore to be seen,

and heads for the crash site. At the train station, Tomo Koga spots him in

costume and asks what he's doing, proving he can be noticed by certain

despite the altered timeline.

Realizing he can't face the crash alone, Sakuta calls his own past self on the

phone, explaining the entire paradox.

And Sakuta begs Mai not to sacrifice herself.

He then races to the accident scene and pushes his past self out of harm's way

moments before the truck hits. Because two versions of Sakuta cannot coexist,

the future Sakuta disappears just as the crash is diverted.

This intervention saves both Sakuta and Mai from the accident. But now young

Shoko is never placed on the donor list and her condition goes untreated.

She still faces imminent death.

Sakuta and Mai, reunited in this new timeline, realize that stopping the

wasn't enough.

Shoko's underlying illness and despair remain untouched. Fully aware of all

previous loops, she chooses to erase her own memories of Sakutai and Mai.

Shoko writes down her hopes for the future in her fourth grade notebook as a

pledge to live, even if she can no longer remember them. This relinquishes

adolescent syndrome bond, but also removes the traumatic burden from Sakuta

Mai. With Shoko's conscious decision to find hope in her own future, time

unwinds to New Year's Day and the present. The fatal accident never

Shoko's illness has been subtly averted by her newfound will to live.

Adult Shoko never needs to exist, having been reset by Shoko's sacrifice of

memory. With this final act of hope, the tragic timelines are erased, and a new

future begins.

Rascal does not dream of a dreaming girl, ends with them walking on the

They spot a cheerful young girl playing. It's Shoko Makinohara, healthy, alive,

and full of life.

While the memories of what happened feel distant, like a dream, something in

their hearts remembers.

Their love has survived countless timelines, and now finally they get to

the one where everyone is saved.

Though Kaede's original personality has returned, the scars of her past remain

deeply embedded, especially the severe anxiety caused by relentless bullying.

which originally triggered her puberty syndrome and subsequent amnesia. Kaede

sets her sights on attending Minagahara High School, where her brother Sakuta

studies. Despite Kaede's determination, her long absence from school creates

obstacles. Her counselor suggests online high school as a better fit.

Sakuta, concerned yet supportive, researches options carefully, wanting to

protect her without pressure.

Driven by brotherly love, he offers both practical help and unwavering emotional

support, standing by her side no matter what path she chooses.

To help Kaede prepare for the demanding entrance exam, Sakuta enlists the

support of Mai and her younger sister, Nodoka.

Together, they create a nurturing study environment, where the focus is not only

on mastering academic material, but also on rebuilding Kaede's self -confidence

and courage.

Each session becomes a delicate balance between patience and encouragement, as

Kaede wrestles with lingering fears and the anxiety of relapse. Amidst her

emotional turmoil, Kaede shows quiet courage by going alone to submit her

school application, facing the uncertain future with a fragile but determined

spirit. This act marks a small but meaningful step in her effort to regain

control over her life.

to maintain a brave front.

battle she faces within.

When the day of the entrance exam arrives, Kaede enters the hall carrying

of hope and lingering anxiety.

As she begins the test, her focus suddenly breaks when she spots a former

school classmate, one of the bullies who caused her deep pain.

The sudden shock floods her mind with painful memories, triggering a severe

panic attack.

Overwhelmed and unable to continue, Kaede is forced to leave the exam early,

progress halted by the emotional wounds that have yet to fully heal.

Crushed by the overwhelming experience, Kaede is finally break down in a raw and

vulnerable outburst.

Tears streaming down her face, she voices her deepest frustrations and

accusing Sakuta of pushing Panda Kaede's dreams onto her without ever truly

seeing who she is now.

She questions whether he understands the pain she carries or if he's been

chasing a version of her that no longer exists.

This confrontation shakes Sakuta deeply.

Hearing Kaede's honest pain, he feels a sharp pang of guilt and sorrow.

Sakuta pulls out Panda Kaede's old diary, weighing her down with burdens

never asked for. Reading her words, he gains a new perspective on the hopes and

dreams that once belonged to her past self.

He sees clearly how those lingering shadows have influenced his actions.

as the person she is becoming.

Shortly after, Kaede and Sakuta encounter Uzuki Hirokawa, the idol from

Bullet. Uzuki candidly shares her experience of choosing to attend online

school, not as an escape from challenges, but as a deliberate decision

allowed her to grow at her own pace and embrace her true self. Her heartfelt

words resonate deeply with Kaede, offering her a fresh perspective.

It's perfectly okay to take a different path, as long as it's a choice made from

her own heart.

After much introspection, Kaede reaches a decisive conclusion.

She chooses to enroll in online school, not out of failure, but because she is

finally embracing her own voice and desires.

Ironically, she later receives news that she has been accepted to Minagahara

High School through a special exemption for exceptional circumstances.

Despite this unexpected opportunity, Kaede remains steadfast.

She tells Sakuta clearly and confidently that she will attend online school,

affirming that this path truly reflects what she wants for her future.

Rascal does not dream of his sister venturing out, closes on a quiet but

powerful note.

Kaede's strength lies not in erasing her past, but in honoring it while walking

a new path forward, one that isn't shaped by fear, pressure, or who she

be, but by who she's choosing to become.

The story begins with Sakuta talking to a young Mai, who soon appears in person,

and Sakuta is introduced to Mai's mother.

Sakuta's life is settled in a comfortable rhythm, balancing high

university entrance preparation, part -time work, and a deepening relationship

with Mai, who is about to graduate.

While studying together, Mai playfully shows Sakuta a marriage certificate she

received as a joke from her co -stars.

They fill it out together and guided by a rare intuitive feeling, Sakuta asks

Mai to keep it, sensing it may hold importance in the future.

Shortly after, a strange new scar appears on Sakuta's abdomen, beginning

his belly button, the hallmark of a new case of puberty syndrome.

Realizing this could indicate supernatural distress, they briefly

Yet they decide to set that aside for the moment.

Sakuta receives an unexpected but hopeful call from his father. Their

hospitalized for two years after a nervous breakdown, is recovering and

to see Kaede. Her condition was triggered by guilt over Kaede's bullying

trauma, events that forced Sakuta to take Kaede and live separately from

parents. While relieved by her improvement, Sakuta worries about how

reunion might affect Kaede, who is only beginning to heal and reconnect with the

world. So focused on protecting her, Sakuta barely acknowledges his own

feelings, despite having carried adult responsibilities since their mother fell

ill. Kaede is hesitant and anxious about seeing their mother again, unsure of

how she'll be received and what emotions will resurface.

Although she has made progress, the wounds from her past remain close to the

surface. Still, a family dinner is arranged.

Kaede, their father, and their mother are all present.

Kaede and their fragile mother share an emotional reunion, each trying to bridge

years of pain and distance.

Meanwhile, Sakura remains withdrawn, avoiding eye contact and speaking

burdened by unresolved scars from his past.

Eventually, he leaves while Kaede stays, quietly working to rebuild their family

bond. The next morning, Sakura wakes to a terrifying new reality.

He has become completely invisible and inaudible to everyone around him. His

teacher doesn't return his test, and he quickly realizes no one can perceive his

presence. When he returns to his parents' apartment, he sees his mother

Kaede, who also cannot see or hear him. With growing dread, Sakuta realizes that

his mother is the source of this strange syndrome.

The painful truth hits harder when he discovers her hospital diary, where he

Looking back on the previous evening, he understands that his refusal to face

his mother directly has brought this on.

Sakata had buried his feelings and pushed his mother out of his mind. Now

she's recovered and no longer needs him, he feels adrift, like a thread severed

from the fabric of his family. The scar on his belly, shaped like an umbilical

cord, painfully symbolizes this feeling of being unneeded and cut off, a

physical mark of his invisible severance from the bond that once defined him.

Disoriented, Sakuta finds himself drawn to the beach where he once saw young

Mai. She appears again and silently guides him home, not to his apartment in

Fujisawa, but to his childhood house near Yokohama.

There, he gradually realizes that he's stepped into an alternate timeline, an

ideal world where his family never fractured.

In this reality, Kaede was never bullied because Sakuta stood up for her, their

mother never suffered a breakdown, and their home life remains peaceful and

whole. Despite subtle differences, Mai still loves him deeply, and everything

feels almost too perfect, like the life he always wished for but never had.

After spending the day in the alternate world, which seems perfect, Sakuta

realizes his adolescent syndrome remains unresolved. He meets young Mai again,

who guides him back to his original world. He then finds a message in his

journal from the alternate universe's Sakata, urging him to get a grip on his

life. Sakuta remains invisible to everyone, trapped in the silence of

syndrome. Following the advice left by his alternate self, he leaves a letter

for Mai. When Mai arrives, she is the only one who can see and remember him,

thanks to the marriage certificate she kept as a tangible link to their bond.

Their heartfelt embrace becomes a powerful testament to the strength of

connection, proving that their shared memories can defy the syndrome's erasing

effect. In this moment, Mai becomes Sakuta's anchor, offering comfort and

reminding him that facing painful emotions together is an essential part

growing up.

Empowered by Mai's steadfast support and his own deep reflection, Sakuta decides

to reconcile with his mother. During a hospital visit, he quietly enters the

exam room, and in an emotional breakthrough, his mother finally sees

adolescent syndrome.

After his emotional reconciliation,

Okinawa, hinting at changes ahead.

listening to, and its singer, Taoko Kirishima, seemed to exist only in her

memories, not in any other timeline.

core family conflicts, healing Sakuta's strained relationship with his mother
