The teaser trailer above features Akia Natsukawa, who will be the love interest of the main character Wataru Sajo in the series. While dreaming about their mutual love, Wataru Sajo, one day, wakes up thinking, he doesn’t really deserve her.
But as he keeps approaching Akia from a distance, she starts asking herself “Could it be that he hates me?”. This seems like a fun rom-com about two people who just can’t get their feelings across. And both think their love is unrequited!

The story of Yumemiru Danshi anime begins with Wataru Sajou, a high school boy who is deeply in love with his classmate, Aika Natsukawa. To the point where he has daydreamed about both of them being together and continuously seeks her attention every day. But Wataru starts questioning this imaginary lovely-duo to be not right and begins to stay at a proper distance from her. What will happen next between these two? Only in the anime can unveil this.
