If you love cute romantic stories this anime is for you. The story is short but it knows what it´s doing with the time it´s given and not a single second is wasted.

The story follows Risa who has a crush on the most popular boy at school. Risa is a hopeless romantic. The love between Yuugure and Risa is a love at first sight and it goes very quickly from “I´ve saw you” to “ I want to stay with you forever, I love you” Their schoolmates are jealous at Risa and want her to stay away from Yuugure.

Characters:

Risa is a typical ... shoujo heroine. She´s very girly and cares a lot about her appearance. She also seems to be a hardworking person, who cares a lot about her studies. She meets up with her crush to learn more about him. I like how her feeling to Yuugure are portrayed. She´s madly in love with him but unsure about her feelings as well. I like how realateble she was and wasn´t extremely shy like many other shoujo protagonits,

Yuugure didn´t get much screentime. He´s just a popular boy with a kind heart.

The art style is gorgeous. Very romantic looking and works perfectly for the story. The anime is bit clishe but it´s so cute. And it works well for a short story about first love. This story made me smile. Definitely worth your time.

I feel like if you put an entity of all that is shoujo into a bag, close your eyes and dip a hand in at random, this OVA would be staring you right in the face when you opened your palm. I love the shoujo genre but we have to be frank here, the entire story was incredibly cliché and sloppily put together. It's short but there are ways of making something not that great seem more amazing than it actually is and it's called good story telling. The entire thing is really mediocre

Despite that, the animation was incredibly cute and easy on the eyes. ... It almost makes you forget that you're watching something that you've seen over and over when it comes to high school shoujo, and the soft music just adds onto its teeny-tiny disappointment that maybe this would have been a decent show if they had fleshed it out a little more.

If you're between animes and want something light and fluffy to light up your heart, it's worth a watch.

I've read the manga and was disappointed in the anime.

Story [3] - Everything happened /way/ too fast, it skipped some of the most important scenes that happened in the manga.

Art [4] - The only thing I liked about the art and animation was the hair movement.
To me, the hair colour was too soft and had too much highlights, when I saw screenshots of the anime I was convinced that it was a fanart. The colours aren't detailed like in other Shoujo anime.

Sound [4] - For this story, the music suited it

Character [5] - In the OVA, they didn't allow enough show time for each ... of the lead characters to develop their personality to let the viewers choose favourites, it was just snippets of moments that happened in the manga. It seems like they were trying to fit everything into one episode.

Enjoyment [5] - I still prefer the manga over this anime. Unless they're going to remake it and add more detail and improve on the character development, I don't think I'll be watching more episodes of the anime.
