As one of the thousands of Japanese students afflicted with "chunibyo," a state where they're so desperate to stand out that they've convinced themselves that they have secret knowledge and hidden powers, Yuta spent most of his middle school years living in a complete fantasy world. He's finally managing to overcome his delusions but his chunibyo have attracted the attentions of another sufferer, and she's decided that this makes him her soul mate.

Special Episode included with Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!: Rikka Version
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!

Rikka and Yuta each gets some advice from a friend. Rikka's sister reveals her intention of studying the culinary arts in France, and asks Yuta to help her with Rikka. Through their own special ways, Yuta and Rikka confess to each other.

Yuta and Rikka may finally be together, but things haven’t settled down just yet!
