The Dreaming Boy Is a Realist

Aired: 2023

Sajou Wataru has long pursued the beautiful Natsukawa Aika in his class, only to be repeatedly turned down. Then one day, he suddenly realizes he is 'out of her league' and his passion cools. As Wataru starts to distance himself, Aika misinterprets this as being disliked and begins approaching him instead. This school romantic comedy draws its charm from the unique dynamic of pursuer and pursued switching places, creating delightful frustration and humor. The protagonist's realist perspective and the reactions of those around him are depicted with sharp pacing. The OP theme is 'Paraglider' by Ishihara Kaori, and the ED theme is '#Yume wa Mijikashi Koi Seyo Otome' by Natsukawa Aika (CV. Suzumoto Akiho).
