13 Anime Like Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai

To speak about Rascal is to speak of a series for which the protagonist is not solely and exclusively Azusagawa Sakuta - the boy who is always involved in every arc and problem - but the syndrome of puberty. The euphemism by which the series explores themes such as bullying, social anxiety or the search for identity. The uncertainty that ultimately we all feel at some point in our lives but we do not manage to externalize (at least not easily). Seishun Buta has little or nothing to do with the image it may initially arouse. It is not a harem; it is not an ecchi story. Its large cast of girls does not comprise a long selection of damsels in distress sobbing for male help. This is not the case. Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai is a series, a story that, although sometimes clumsy in its presentation, breaks in a way with those topics and tries to be something more. Something that, at least in a first contact, tries to hook by assuming a different and capable proposal. Anime li...
