About The Dreaming Boy is a Realist

The Dreaming Boy is a Realist (夢見る男子は現実主義者) arrives as a comedy anime by Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ (2023), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: Sajou Wataru, who is deeply in love with his beautiful classmate Natsukawa Aika, is continuing to approach her without getting discouraged while having dreams about their mutual love. However one day he woke up thinking "I am not really fit to be together with someone as good as her, huh...

Also worth knowing: Upon realizing this, Wataru started keeping an appropriate distance towards her, much to Aika's surprise. "Could it be that he hates me now...? Did his intentions slip by her because she was getting impatient after arriving at the wrong conclusion!?

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Aika Natsukawa (Akiho Suzumoto) and Wataru Sajou (Naoya Miyase) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
