Adolescence Syndrome — mysterious phenomena rumored to be caused by unstable emotional states. Azusagawa Sakuta, who encountered several girls suffering from this syndrome during high school, is now a university student. Together with his girlfriend, the nationally beloved actress Mai Sakurajima, he enters a university in Kanazawa-Hakkei. One day on campus, he spots a Santa girl in a miniskirt—completely out of season. She’s surprised: “You can see me?” A line he’s heard somewhere before. This miniskirt Santa, who claims to be giving out Adolescence Syndrome as a gift, tells Sakuta: “…My name is Touko Kirishima.” With prophetic dreams trending on social media, a mysterious internet singer, poltergeists, and other unexplained phenomena— a new story unfolds, full of emotional turmoil and mysterious girls. Adolescence isn’t over yet—
