The 8th volume, titled ‘Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out,’ again features Sakuta’s sister Kaede as the focal character. In the last episode, we saw her recovering from Adolescence Syndrome and willing to live an everyday life again.

Kaede expresses her interest in going to school again and feels confident enough because she has Sakuta and others by her side. Initially on board with it, Sakuta becomes worried when Kaede declares that she wants to attend the same school as her brother.

This story arc brings back the show’s time-traveling aspect and some blasts from the past bundled up with familial issues. Both Mai and Sakuta will be facing situations with hard choices and confronting some brutal truths.

The trailer and visual revealed by the franchise feature Kaede and a younger Mai, signifying their importance in the upcoming anime.
