Rascal Does Not Dream of a Knapsack Kid, the latest film in the Rascal Does Not Dream series, is set to hit theaters in Japan December 1. But now you can get a look at the film’s first three minutes thanks to the folks at Aniplex.
Knapsack Kid, which ends the light novels’ high school arc, comes right on the heels of Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out, which opened in Japan back in June.
The light novel series by Hajime Kamoshida kicked off back in 2014 with Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, which was adapted into an anime series in 2018. Here’s how Yen On describes the first volume:
Bunny girls do not live in libraries. This is simply common sense. And yet, that’s exactly where Sakuta finds one in the wild. More bewildering is who the bunny girl is: Mai Sakurajima, a girl one year older than Sakuta, famous at their school for her acting career even though she’s currently on break. To top it all off, it seems like no one else in the library can see Mai at all, no matter what she does or…wears. Wanting to find out more about this mystery and maybe get a little closer to this beautiful upperclassman in the process, Sakuta launches an investigation to discover why an unforgettable bunny girl keeps becoming totally invisible.
