Some might even believe that they have magical powers and blur the line between fantasy and reality for themselves.
For Yuuta Togashi, his chuunibyou left him embarrassing mental scars. Despite the fact that they were still fresh in his memories, he tries to leave them behind and live a normal life in high school.
