Referring to his diary , he recalls that he sees Mai Sakurajima , a senior and teen celebrity , wearing a bunny girl costume in public and realizes only he can see her . Mai warns him to forget about her . Sakuta learns from his friend Yuma that Mai has taken a break from acting to attend school and has made no friends . Sakuta is warned by Yuma 's girlfriend Saki to stop being Yuma 's friend , as Sakuta 's reputation following a violent incident is making Yuma , and thus herself , less popular . Sakuta rides the train with Mai and she reveals she heard about the incident where he supposedly put three people in hospital . Sakuta confirms it is untrue but feels it is pointless to argue against rumors . Mai explains that after she stopped acting people became unable to see her in certain locations and has been using the conspicuous bunny girl costume to identify areas where she is invisible . Sakuta believes she has Adolescence Syndrome , an urban legend about special powers . Sakuta shows her three mystery scars on his chest and introduces her to his sister , Kaede , who suffers from the syndrome . Kaede was a victim of online bullying and as the bullying grew worse it caused wounds to appear on her body , but the wounds stopped after she stopped using the internet . Sakuta believes Mai will become visible again if she returns to acting but she refuses and leaves . Sakuta is approached by reporter Fumika Nanjo who wants to interview him about his scars , but he refuses . After speaking with Rio Futaba from the Science Club he realises that Mai might disappear completely unless she starts acting again . He finds her outside his apartment and she reveals the areas where she is invisible have grown and begun causing her problems . `` Commotions are Inevitable for First Dates '' `` Hatsu Dēto ni Haran wa Tsukimono '' ( 初 デート に 波乱 は 付き物 ) Kazuki Horiguchi Masahiro Yokotani October 11 , 2018 <Td_colspan="6"> Rio Futaba explains her understanding of `` Adolescence Syndrome '' using quantum mechanics and Schrödinger 's cat . Sakuta continues discussing with Mai about her situation . Sakuta reveals he gets to know about Mai 's conflict with her manager ( also her mother ) from Nanjo , with the cost of offering the photo of his scars . Mai then contacts Mai , requesting the latter not to publicize Sakuta 's photo , with the cost of offering her exclusive interview about her decision to return to entertainments - not through her mother . Mai then makes an appointment with Sakuta to go out with her , but denying it is a date . When they go out together , Mai also makes appointment to meet with her mother , to inform the latter about her decision . However , even her mother can not see her , even does not remember her . Sakuta then decides to bring Mai to travel farther to find out whether there are anyone else who can see her and remember her , but in vain . At night , they have to rest in the same room in the hotel . When Mai is taking a bath , Sakuta contacts Yuma and Rio , and finds they still remembered Mai . Then Sakuta and Mai sleep on the same bed , and discusses whether Sakuta would forget her , too . Mai proposes to kiss with Sakuta , shown in the beginning of episode 1 , but Sakuta chooses not to . `` The World Without You '' `` Kimi Dake ga Inai Sekai '' ( 君 だけ が いない 世界 ) Masahiro Shinohara Masahiro Yokotani October 18 , 2018 `` There is No Tomorrow for Rascal '' `` Buta Yarō ni wa Ashita ga Nai '' ( ブタ 野郎 に は 明日 が ない ) Shohei Yamanaka Masahiro Yokotani October 25 , 2018 Reception This section is empty .
