Series Synopsis

Upon entering high school Yuta Togashi (voiced by Jun Fukuyama) hoped to abandon his delusions. Now in his second year, it turned out doing so was much harder than expected. Trying his best to avoid it, Yuta got involved with the fantasy world yet again.

This time, though, he was able to find a group of like-minded people. Among them was Rikka Takanashi (voiced by Maaya Uchida). Through unwavering perseverance, Rikka got Yuta to embrace his former self.

And at the same time, the two fell for each other.

Rikka and Yuta’s relationship is a surprise to no one. They've been inseparable. Despite that, both Rikka and Yuta aren’t too sure how the whole dating thing works. Though together for several months, they’ve struggled with even holding hands. A feat they've yet managed to do.

Awkwardness aside, they love each other. Yet, the power of delusions, particularly Rikka’s, are nothing if not exhausting. It takes a special kind of patience. A challenge both are willing to take.

Series Synopsis

Yuta Togashi (voiced by Jun Fukuyama) can't wait to start high school and leave his middle school self behind as time of his life he desperately wants to forget. For you see, Yuta once believed himself to be the legendary Dark Flame Master whose powers were unrivaled and mere mortals couldn’t even hope to comprehend the true extent of his abilities. Even thinking about it causes Yuta great embarrassment.

Everything was going well. Yuta met new people, was having typical conversations with his classmates, and no one was aware of his past...mostly. To his horror there is one who appears to know, Rikka Takanashi (voiced by Maaya Uchida).

Unlike Yuta who gave up spell casting and fantasy worlds, Rikka embraces them. She is the wielder of the Wicked Eye, which is why she can always be seen wearing an eye-patch, and Yuta is her destined companion.

Rikka refuses to leave Yuta alone and slowly the two begin to attract a circle of equally interesting characters.
