The Dreaming Boy is a Realist is an anime series that offers a unique and fresh take on the high school romance genre. The show, which is a production by Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ, stands out by subverting many of the common tropes found in romantic comedies. It is based on the light novel series of the same name and centers on the unexpected and awkward relationship between two high school students: the dreamy, formerly obsessed Wataru Sajou, and the popular, seemingly perfect Aika Natsukawa.

The story begins with a premise that seems familiar. Wataru Sajou, a second-year high school student, is head over heels in love with his beautiful and intelligent classmate, Aika Natsukawa. For years, he has been relentlessly pursuing her, dreaming of a fairy-tale romance and a life where they end up together. His constant, over-the-top confessions of love and his public declarations have made him something of a laughingstock among his classmates, who see him as a delusional stalker. Aika, for her part, always responds to his advances with a mix of annoyance and indifference, making it clear that she has no interest in him.

However, the plot takes an intriguing turn when Wataru, after a self-reflective moment, comes to a shocking realization: his pursuit of Aika has been foolish and unrealistic. He decides to "wake up" from his dream and become a realist. Wataru
