Hajime Kamoshida and Kēji Mizoguchi launched the light novel series Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai in April 2014, releasing sixteen volumes through ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Bunko imprint until July 2025. Set against the backdrop of Kanagawa Prefecture, the story centers on Sakuta Azusagawa, a high school student who stumbles upon Mai Sakurajima in a library while she wears a bunny girl costume. Once a famous child actress who vanished from the public eye, Mai suffers from Puberty Syndrome, a supernatural ailment that manifests as physical manifestations of teenage anxieties. As Sakuta helps her resolve her personal crisis, he discovers other girls facing similar bizarre conditions, ranging from ghostly apparitions to time loops.[edit]
