Interesting writing style and plenty of sarcastic humour that helps keep it away from creating boring romantic relationships between the main characters

I selected Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai for my ENG 356 class in the Romance category。Having selected a few Japanese light novels already， I decided to look up one for romance。 This book was placed in someone's top ten list and my brother had already gushed to me about the anime adaptation， so I decided to look past the odd title and give it a shot。 Besides， such long-winded strange titles seem to be par for the course with Japanese authors。Should this book be taught in schools？ Whi I selected Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai for my ENG 356 class in the Romance category。Having selected a few Japanese light novels already， I decided to look up one for romance。 This book was placed in someone's top ten list and my brother had already gushed to me about the anime adaptation， so I decided to look past the odd title and give it a shot。 Besides， such long-winded strange titles seem to be par for the course with Japanese authors。Should this book be taught in schools？ While the title would give parents and teachers pause， it's actually got some good themes and topics to it。 Dealing with parental abandonment and estrangement， bullying， cyber-bullying， be careful what you wish for。 While I doubt many students deal with actually disappearing from existence， there are probably many who feel ignored or shunned as if they don't exist， whether it's active or passive。 It also deals with crowd mentality， and simple going along with what everyone else does。 Overall， yes， I think this book could most definitely be taught in schools。Warnings for the faint of heart:Horny teenagers being horny， joking with each other， and flirting。 Nothing all that overt， they're largely all talk and little show， just highschool teens messing with each other。 A little mild language sprinkled throughout with a few cases of stronger language （'s' and 'b' words mostly）。 Blood from mysterious wounds and awful scars are described in one scene。 A character becomes sickly from staying awake for several days。 。。。more

Despite it's name， Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai has very little to do with bunny girls。 Rather， it is a fascinatingly emotional supernatural romance story in which young people's internal struggles are manifested externally as adolescence syndrome， which can take the form of anything from getting physical cuts and bruises because of being bullied online to literally disappearing because you feel that is how others perceive you， or don't perceive you。 The way this strange phenomenon Despite it's name， Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai has very little to do with bunny girls。 Rather， it is a fascinatingly emotional supernatural romance story in which young people's internal struggles are manifested externally as adolescence syndrome， which can take the form of anything from getting physical cuts and bruises because of being bullied online to literally disappearing because you feel that is how others perceive you， or don't perceive you。 The way this strange phenomenon forces the characters to face their own personal turmoil makes for a compelling read， enhanced even more by the main duo's entertaining sarcastic chemistry。 。。。more

Great story。 I actually read the manga first。 They’re pretty much the same。 I think I prefer the manga so I can see the characters though。 Anyway， I really like Sakuta’s personality and the way he gets along with Mai。 Very cute。

It was really good。 I got hooked from the very first chapter and it seems like it would go towards the romance genre but it ended but being action and slice of life。 They talk about quantum physics and Schrödinger's Cat a lot as an explanation to the supernatural events happening。 The plot is well paced and it makes you want more。 There is romance but in the anime they never really kiss。 It was really good。 I got hooked from the very first chapter and it seems like it would go towards the romance genre but it ended but being action and slice of life。 They talk about quantum physics and Schrödinger's Cat a lot as an explanation to the supernatural events happening。 The plot is well paced and it makes you want more。 There is romance but in the anime they never really kiss。 。。。more

Story is fair and the prose is simple。 I loved the back-and-forth between Mai and Sakuta。 Nothing stands out too much and the anime does a far better job of capturing the emotion and grabbing your attention。 It's a solid read， but not solid enough to impress。 At the very least， it's not boring。 This is an above average piece of entertainment。 Story is fair and the prose is simple。 I loved the back-and-forth between Mai and Sakuta。 Nothing stands out too much and the anime does a far better job of capturing the emotion and grabbing your attention。 It's a solid read， but not solid enough to impress。 At the very least， it's not boring。 This is an above average piece of entertainment。 。。。more

Terrific book。 I finished it last month， but am getting around to some last minute reviews before the year closes out。 I loved the dialogue。 I absolutely， absolutely loved it。 There are those who like dialogue to be more realistic， but I prefer the skill in snappy banter。 I realize the authors hand is heavily directing the conversation， but I just delight in cleverness。 This book had wonderful， clever dialogue。 As in movies of old， I find myself wishing that I could have conversations that were Terrific book。 I finished it last month， but am getting around to some last minute reviews before the year closes out。 I loved the dialogue。 I absolutely， absolutely loved it。 There are those who like dialogue to be more realistic， but I prefer the skill in snappy banter。 I realize the authors hand is heavily directing the conversation， but I just delight in cleverness。 This book had wonderful， clever dialogue。 As in movies of old， I find myself wishing that I could have conversations that were just as clever。 This story also had a psychological component to it that I enjoyed。 Strong characters。 Sensible character arcs with growth， room for further development。 Intrigue。 A delightful premise。 A solid translation， so my hat tips to the translator。 I wish I could write half as good as what I read here。 。。。more

Tenía unas ganas infinitas de leer la historia original y al final lo he espaciado tanto con el trabajo que siento que se me ha ido en nada y se me ha quedado en poquita cosa。Quizás es， también， que la adaptación de CloverWorks es prácticamente un 1:1 de la original， por lo que no hay muchas sorpresas y la falta de apoyo visual la hace más complicada al centrarse tanto en el día a día en Japón （mucha mención a líneas de tren， estaciones y puntos destacados）。 Aún así， no deja de ser Hajime Kamosh Tenía unas ganas infinitas de leer la historia original y al final lo he espaciado tanto con el trabajo que siento que se me ha ido en nada y se me ha quedado en poquita cosa。Quizás es， también， que la adaptación de CloverWorks es prácticamente un 1:1 de la original， por lo que no hay muchas sorpresas y la falta de apoyo visual la hace más complicada al centrarse tanto en el día a día en Japón （mucha mención a líneas de tren， estaciones y puntos destacados）。 Aún así， no deja de ser Hajime Kamoshida y leerle siempre es maravilloso。Me sigue sorprendiendo como Rascal Does not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai combina teorías cuánticas con un espacio adolescente TAN marcado pero la excentricidad del autor no falla y el resultado es increíble。 La dosis justa de romance， comedia y conciencia para conseguir una obra muy cortita pero que podría cerrarse en este volumen sin problema。 La relación entre sus personajes es tan fresca y original que te saca sonrisas cada pocas líneas y su forma de tratar el bullying y la ansiedad social en el entorno estudiantil siempre me parecerá de diez。 Quizás es menos especial que "la primera vez" pero sigue siendo una preferida personal y una obra muy especial en general。 。。。more

I find it a very interesting piece， specially about the main character's mindset about the world and others around him。I like the fact that there were some psychological facts presented here， such as the Schrödinger's Cat for exemple。I believe the theme is very original， the idea of "fading away" as people forget about you is interesting。 Of course， the fact that the MC likes the girl is clichè but ok。 I find it a very interesting piece， specially about the main character's mindset about the world and others around him。I like the fact that there were some psychological facts presented here， such as the Schrödinger's Cat for exemple。I believe the theme is very original， the idea of "fading away" as people forget about you is interesting。 Of course， the fact that the MC likes the girl is clichè but ok。 。。。more

no， this is not erotic in any way， shape， or form。 This title was used to bait readers and surprise them with a complex novel exploring emotion instead of a novel about bunny girls。 If you picked this book solely for the bunny girls， you will be disappointed。 When high school junior Sakuta Azusagawa travels to the library， he meets acclaimed actress and high school senior Mai Sakurajima， who is sporting a playboy bunny girl outfit。 To his surprise， however， he is the only one in the building who can see her。 Through a chance series of encounters， Sakuta becomes intertwined with Mai as she disappears from the sight and mind of more and more people。 As the novel progresses， the pair explore the mysterious phenomenon that is enveloping their lives， known as Adolescence Syndrome， in hopes of preventing Mai from disappearing entirely。 The two leads in this novel， Sakuta and Mai， have quickly become two of my favorite characters in fiction。 Sakuta has a sarcastic and playful personality， but is known as the school loner due to an incident in his past that has left terrible rumors throughout his school。 He is left with two friends and a little sister that refuses to leave the house。 Mai is a serious yet just as playful character as Sakuta， possessing a caring and intelligent personality， but she hides her insecurities and flaws。 Mai is currently on hiatus from her acting career due to a strained relationship with her producer。 The driving point of the novel， to me， is the numerous scenes where Mai and Sakuta interact。 During those conversations， there is never a dull moment， as Mai and Sakuta tease and game with each other while hiding their fears。 An excerpt from chapter 4， page 148: “‘I’ll Never forget this。’‘。。。 But if you do？’‘I’ll eat Pocky through my nose。’‘Don’t play with your food！’‘That was your idea！’There was a smile on Mai’s lips， but that was all。 ‘Sakuta。’‘What？’“You swear？’‘。。。’‘You really won’t forget me？’Her eyes wavered。 Like she was testing him。 ‘The image of your bunny-girl outfit is seared into my brain。’”Kamoshida does an excellent job at analyzing the psyche of teenagers going through high school， the development of the plot and characters， and developing relatability and realism in the story。 The work offers a clear look into how a teenager thinks and behaves in and outside of school， highlighting the insecurities and sarcasm that are common among adolescent crowds。 The plot is paced well， though it does slow down at a few points in the beginning， but quickly speeds up after the first few chapters。 Mai and Sakuta both have fulfilling character arcs and development， and so do the other secondary characters。 Each novel focuses on a new character experiencing Adolescence syndrome， offering specific development for those characters later in the series。 The novel also offers a slight critique into the sexualization of child acting in media， shedding light on the situation that Mai is in as the novel begins。 The relatability of the work comes in the realistic portrayal of teenage outlooks on life， despite the immensely weird situation that occurs。 I， personally， felt connected to the main character throughout the story， and was deeply moved multiple times as the plot progressed。 Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai is in no way similar to what the title makes it out to be。 A love story exploring the complex emotions of loss， fear， and youth would in no normal circumstance involve a bunny girl; yet， here we are。 If it isn’t apparent by now， this novel series has become one of my favorites， pushing its way into my top 5 among the likes of Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and Orwell’s 1984。 I have given both the anime and novel a 10/10， and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good love story or mystery， or to anyone who just wants entertainment。 I bought this book at Barnes and Noble （Barnes and Noble Buy Link）， but it can also be bought at Amazon （Amazon Buy Link）。 If you’re lucky， you might be able to find it at a local library or bookstore， but I had no such luck。 Each title in the series starts with “Rascal Does Not Dream of …” and the next two are Petite Devil Kohai and Logical Witch （I also recommend those）。 With that， I bid thee happy reading and good luck。 And remember to watch out for wild bunny girls in libraries。 。。。more

To me this is totally a wonderful story， and quite unique， I haven't read anything like this before， and I loved how the author is exploring the whole phenomena called 'adolescence syndrome'。 This is the story of Sakuta， a high school student who one day encounters a girl dressed in a bunny outfit in the library。 This would appear very uncommon， but he soon realises that people can't actually see this girl， despite the outfit， and that's when he realises she is sort of becoming invisible。 Sakura To me this is totally a wonderful story， and quite unique， I haven't read anything like this before， and I loved how the author is exploring the whole phenomena called 'adolescence syndrome'。 This is the story of Sakuta， a high school student who one day encounters a girl dressed in a bunny outfit in the library。 This would appear very uncommon， but he soon realises that people can't actually see this girl， despite the outfit， and that's when he realises she is sort of becoming invisible。 Sakura knows this is a phenomena called 'adolescence syndrome' amongst youngsters and it has different effects on people。 There is no explaining the phenomena， and no way of knowing what form it'll take or what brings it up。***MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD***This is a wonderful premise， because as you move along in the book， Sakuta and his friends start making up theories that whatever ails people is probably brought on by their own thoughts and emotions toward certain situations， adding to that the reaction that the people around them have towards it as well。 So for this book， Mai is becoming invisible because she has always acted as if she is air around people， and her high school friends went along with that， not really knowing how to approach her since she is famous。 And eventually it came to a point that her classmates thought of her as air and stopped seeing her， and Mai let that happen too。 So you have this complicated scifi/paranormal theme around what is basically a romance story， and I think it pairs up really nicely。 Sakura is a complete rascal， always thinking how to provoke Mai just because it's fun， but he is quite the gentleman and he can be serious when the situation demands it。 Plus I've seen the anime， so I know how the story will keep developing as well as the other cases that will come up later， and I can't wait to read the book， because the deep insights into the condition are far more detailed here。 I loved this light novel。 。。。more

This is almost entirely redeemed by the sweet ending。 The translation seems to be better than most as the dialog， while often cringe-worthy， is not as clunky as is typical for many light novels。 Or， it may just be that the source material was better formed。 Overall， this is a decent romance， somewhat plagued by gratuitous fan service， wrapped in an interesting mystery。

What stands out in this realistic fiction drama light novel is the character's chemistry and an entertaining plot。 The story is interesting and mysterious， it could be a bit confusing for some， but it has the tendency that boosts the characters interactions and hooks readers with good pacing。 In this anime， the author cared to develop a world where the school is the center， and the events affect the characters and the interaction with the outside world。 We have two main characters， but their per What stands out in this realistic fiction drama light novel is the character's chemistry and an entertaining plot。 The story is interesting and mysterious， it could be a bit confusing for some， but it has the tendency that boosts the characters interactions and hooks readers with good pacing。 In this anime， the author cared to develop a world where the school is the center， and the events affect the characters and the interaction with the outside world。 We have two main characters， but their personalities differ a lot， so the contrast makes the characters more vivid。 They aren't the typical high schoolers with the same generic background as most of the high school series。 The main male character Sakuta has a nice introvert attitude and with an awkward past and could be considered as a weirdo。 Furthermore， he is ironic， sarcastic and with some sense of humor executed flawlessly。 The main female character is Mai Sakurajima， a famous actress but with a mature air that is not normal in this kind of series。 Overall this novel's main features are from the genuine well written characters and develops a deep sense of realism in the characters。 I would give this book a 4 out of 5 and would recommend this book to people who enjoy humor， romance， and a bit of fantasy。 。。。more
