Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Season 1

Synopsis

Yuta has a problem. He used to be a “chunibyo,” one of the thousands of Japanese students so desperate to stand out that they’ve convinced themselves that they have secret knowledge and hidden powers. Now that he’s starting high school, he’s determined to put aside his delusions. The trouble is that Rikka, his upstairs neighbor, is delusional herself. And she knows all about his past indiscretions. “Crazy in love” is redefined as fantasy worlds collide in Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!
