The "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai" series is written by Kamoshida Hajime and Mizoguchi Cage. It has been adapted into a TV anime and a movie version, and many people are becoming captivated by the depth of its story. This time, we will be ranking some of the most famous scenes from the original work as well as the TV anime "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai." Spoilers are included, so please be careful if you are concerned, but be sure to check out the top 10 memorable scenes.
10th Place: Wild Bunny Girl
This is also the title of the manga "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai." The protagonist, Sakuta Azusagawa, meets Mai Sakurajima in the library. It could be called a fateful encounter, but the other person is dressed as a bunny girl, making it a strange encounter at the same time. No one else pays any attention to Sakurajima Mai in her bunny girl outfit, but Azusagawa Sakuta can see her clearly. After confirming this, Sakurajima Mai leaves, saying only "stay away," before leaving.
Meeting Mai Sakurajima, His Future Girlfriend
Sakuta Azusagawa is shocked by the strange sight, but he leaves the library and chases after Mai Sakurajima, offering to help. This was because the story involved puberty syndrome, which is treated as an urban legend, and he thought that since he had experienced it in the past, he might be able to help. At the time, Azusagawa Sakuta may have been looking for clues to solve puberty syndrome rather than thinking about getting closer to Sakurajima Mai. On the one hand, he behaves like a boy in the midst of puberty, but the two of them were growing closer in ways that were different from what he had expected.
9th Place: Sakuta Azusagawa Gets Emotional
Sakuta Azusagawa, who is not easily shaken by things, does not seem to have any extreme emotional ups and downs. Although he often speaks monotonously, he is often depicted as becoming emotional, most notably in the scene where he meets Mai Sakurajima's mother. Mai Sakurajima's existence is no longer recognized by society, but he believes that there may still be hope in her mother, and so he reunites with the person he had been avoiding until then. However, it ends in a tragic fate, and Sakuta Azusagawa yells in anger, "How could you forget your own daughter?"
Some parts of the story overlap with his own circumstances.
Sakuta Azusagawa and Mai Sakurajima were still senior and junior at school, but there was a reason why they became so emotional and angry. This was his younger sister, Azusagawa Kaede, who also spoke of adolescent syndrome, saying that seeing defamatory comments about her would cause her body to hurt. Azusagawa Sakuta witnessed this, but when he explained it to his parents and doctor, it was dismissed as "self-harm." His desperate explanations were in vain, and even his two blood relatives didn't believe him, so the overlap with his own situation likely led to Azusagawa Sakuta's anger.
8th Place: The Moment Rio Futaba Became a Girl
Until "Rascal Does Not Dream of a Logical Witch," Rio Futaba was a calm, cool-headed girl. However, once she becomes a victim of puberty syndrome, she begins to display behaviors appropriate to her age, from fearful to shy. It also becomes clear that she has a surprising fear of thunder, and you may suddenly find Futaba Rio, who interprets and understands everything rationally, quite appealing.
Futaba Rio's popularity is sure to skyrocket!
Futaba Rio, who lacks self-confidence and even develops adolescent syndrome due to self-loathing, is a stark contrast to the Futaba Rio of "Logical Witch," so her popularity is sure to soar. She's cute when she acts cool, but when you see her suddenly act like a girl, you'll be captivated just like the characters in the story. And before you know it, you'll be hooked.
7th Place: Laplace's Little Devil Power
Tomoe Koga plays the heroine in "Rascal Does Not Dream of Little Devil Senpai," and she plays a fake romantic partner with Sakuta Azusagawa. However, as their relationship continued, Koga Tomoe began to develop feelings for him. This was before Azusagawa Sakuta started dating Sakurajima Mai, but he had already decided on someone, and he firmly refused, saying that even if Minami tried again, the outcome would not have been any different.
Just when you thought it was resolved, it started again on June 27th
After finally getting Mai to confess her feelings and ending their fake relationship, Sakuta Azusagawa thought he could finally enjoy his long-awaited summer vacation. However, when we look into it, we find ourselves transported back to June 27th, rather than the day after the incident with Koga Tomoe. That was before he and Koga Tomoe started their relationship, and it was also the day that Sakurajima Mai officially confirmed her intention to go out with him. Rather than simply moving on to the next day, we can't help but feel surprised that the story unfolds with the power of Laplace's demon, starting all over again from the beginning.
6th Place: Sakuta Azusagawa's Confession
Mai Sakurajima's adolescent syndrome has reached its peak, and finally, no one in the world knows her. However, suddenly, Azusagawa Sakuta remembers Sakurajima Mai, and rushes out to the schoolyard to fight the atmosphere surrounding the school. His method of doing so is to confess his feelings to Sakurajima Mai, and he does so by shouting it out loud in the middle of the schoolyard so that the entire student body will know.
Mai Sakurajima also seems to want to pay attention to her boyfriend
Sakuta Azusagawa has tried everything he can think of to solve Mai Sakurajima's adolescent syndrome, but he's not seeing any results. Sakurajima Mai gradually becomes attracted to him, and when they end up staying at a business hotel together during their trip, she teases him by expressing her gratitude. The two then start dating, and her feelings seem to grow even stronger. While she still prioritizes work, she begins to show the side of a girl in love by not only going on dates but also getting jealous.
5th Place: Three People Who Value Friendship
Sakuta Azusagawa, Rio Futaba, and Yuma Kunimi promise to watch the fireworks festival together. The story takes place after Futaba Rio's adolescent syndrome has subsided, and the three of them spend the summer together as high school students in yukata robes. Having faced her own feelings, Futaba Rio's face is filled with a smile. She then embraces the arms of the two boys sitting next to her, and they make a firm promise to cherish their friendship.

With her feelings conveyed, the story of "Logical Witch" comes to an end, but it is also the moment when the friendship between the three becomes even stronger.
4th Place: The End of a Fake Relationship
Sakuta Azusagawa and Tomoe Koga have entered into a limited-time relationship, valid until the end of the first semester. Although their relationship is fake, they behave like a real couple during the time they spend together, going on dates and participating in various events.

However, when Azusagawa Sakuta tells her, "A lie doesn't become the truth, and the truth doesn't become a lie," Koga Tomoe openly confesses her feelings for him, and the incident with Laplace's Demon comes to an end.

His feelings, summed up in one word, are conveyed, and the moment Koga Tomoe tearfully confesses her unrequited feelings is truly heartwarming.
3rd Place: Farewell to Azusagawa "Kaede"
Azusagawa Kaede, Sakuta Azusagawa's younger sister, suffered from dissociative disorder due to bullying, resulting in what could be considered an alternate personality. As a result, there are comments here and there such as "playing the role of the younger sister," which many people may find unnatural. However, when Azusagawa Kaede sets a goal of "going to school" and somehow succeeds in achieving it, the next day Kaede disappears.
Kaede will always exist in my heart
Kaede suffers from adolescent syndrome that causes her to get cuts and bruises whenever she tries to leave the house, but the reason she tries to go outside is because of Sakuta Azusagawa. Until then, he had felt guilty for not being able to do anything for his sister, but he wanted to create the reality that he had made many of Kaede's dreams come true. He took this action because he wanted her to realize that there was no need to blame herself and to live with pride, and I will never forget how he cared about his brother until the very end.

However, at the time, Azusagawa Sakuta was far from being moved by her words; he reacted coldly, even understanding what she was trying to say. It's clear that nothing has changed since then, but the fact that he remembers every word the older Makinohara Shoko said to him shows that they resonated with him deeply.
