She turns out to be Mai Sakurajima, a famous former actress and fellow student at Minegahara High School. However, her surprise at seeing Mai dressed so daringly in the library is nothing compared to her surprise at realizing that he is the only one who can see her. Remembering an event from her past, Sakuta offers to help Mai discover the reason for her invisibility.

With few promising results, Mai’s situation worsens to the point where going unnoticed is the least of her worries. Can Sakuta and Mai solve the mystery of her teenage syndrome before it disappears completely?
