Yuuta and Rikka living together should feel like pure wish fulfillment, but the show knows better, it's about the actual work of loving someone who refuses to grow out of her delusions. Every moment he tries to pull her toward normal life, she drags him back into her chuuni world, and the show never takes a side because there isn't one. The romance doesn't feel won; it feels negotiated, fragile, real in ways most comedies won't touch.

Yuuta Togashi and Rikka Takanashi are secretly living together, an arrangement that ought to thrill the young couple. Instead their relationship stalls as a new school year begins. Yuuta has never dated an ordinary girl, let alone one with chuunibyou, and he frets over how to move things forward with Rikka. Meanwhile Nibutani, Kumin and Dekomori have moved up a grade with their quirks fully intact. Things get more complicated when Satone Shichimiya shows up, a chuuni girl from Yuuta's middle school who calls herself Sophia Ring Saturn the 7th and who sparked his own chuunibyou outburst back then. This second season of the light novel adaptation mixes comedy, drama and romance as Yuuta tries to bring his relationship with Rikka to the next step.
