Adolescence
does not end: new enigmas in the university
According
to the official synopsis of Crunchyroll, the story follows Sakuta
Azusagawa after having faced several cases related to
"Adolescence Syndrome". Now, his time in high school is over and he
begins a new life as a university student in Kanazawa-hakkei,
accompanied by his girlfriend, Mai Sakurajima, a nationally
recognized actress.
However,
the calm does not last long: Sakuta stumbles upon a mysterious girl
dressed as Santa Claus out of season, and soon inexplicable phenomena begin
to emerge: premonitory dreams, an anonymous singer on the
internet and viral poltergeists on social networks. Thus a
new stage full of doubts, emotions and unstable hearts is unleashed.
Because adolescence is not over yet.
