The Aniplex Online Fest 2022 event announced a sequel for the anime series adapting Hajime Kamoshida's Seishun Buta Yarou Series (Rascal Does Not Dream) light novel on Saturday. The event also revealed the main cast, staff, teaser visual (pictured), and an announcement promo.
The new anime project will cover the eighth and ninth novel volumes titled Seishun Buta Yarou wa Odekake Sister no Yume wo Minai (Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out) and Seishun Buta Yarou wa Randoseru Girl no Yume wo Minai (Rascal Does Not Dream of a Knapsack Kid).
Returning staff at CloverWorks include director Souichi Masui (Hitsugi no Chaika), Masahiro Yokotani (Hataraku Maou-sama!!) for script and series composition, and character designer Satomi Tamura (22/7). The lead cast from the previous installments are reprising their roles.
The television anime aired in 13 episodes in Fall 2018. Aniplex of America licensed the anime and streamed it on Crunchyroll, Funimation, Hulu, and Netflix. The Seishun Buta Yarou wa Yumemiru Shoujo no Yume wo Minai (Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl) anime movie opened in Japan in June 2019, adapting the sixth and seventh novel volume.
Kamoshida launched the romantic comedy under the Dengeki Bunko imprint in April 2014, featuring illustrations by Keiji Mizoguchi (Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo). Kadokawa published the 11th volume in December 2020.
Synopsis (Eighth Volume)
WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO MAKE HER WISH COME TRUE?
After a draining December, Sakuta is quickly nearing the end of his second year of high school. Since Mai is a third-year student, they don't have much time left together before graduation rolls around. Meanwhile, his sister, Kaede, is slowly but steadily venturing outdoors again. Just as she begins to find her footing, she announces her most ambitious goal yet—attending her brother's high school! Sakuta knows better than anyone how difficult this will be for Kaede, and he's ready to support her however he can. He's just not sure if that's what's best for her...or what she really wants...

Synopsis (Ninth Volume)
Finally, the day of Mai's high school graduation has arrived. While Sakuta eagerly waits for his girlfriend, an elementary schooler who looks exactly like her appears before him. Suspicious, and for all the wrong reasons... Meanwhile, Sakuta and Kaede's father suddenly calls, saying that their mother wants to see her daughter. She was hospitalized because Kaede's condition had been too much for her to bear, so what could she possibly want now? (Source: Yen Press)
For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully.
And be humble with them out of mercy, and pray, “My Lord! Be merciful to them as they raised me when I was young.”
(Holy Quran 17:23-24).
I wonder what part of Monogatari is going to get plagiarized this time. I recently rewatched what had already been adapted and it was as average as I remembered so I have zero expectations for this sequel.
Please refrain from replying to me with a very original "cope harder" or something on the same level of toxicity, the only thing you would achieve is making yourself look stupid.
Is 2 volumes enough for a series? or might they be planning to make another movie?
If I recall, the TV show adapted 5 volumes, while the last movie adapted 2 volumes.
This is amazing news, but I though they would not have enough material to cover for, for many years, since the LN is so slow to release.
Will it be good with only 2 LNs? We will see, more is very welcoming!
