The "Rascal Does Not Dream" series is an animated adaptation based on the popular light novels by Hajime Kamoshida, which have surpassed 3 million copies in print.

The series has been long-beloved across its TV run and theatrical features, and fans are now looking forward to the upcoming conclusion of the series, the film "Rascal Does Not Dream of Dear Friend."
