Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii OVA

Tarou Kabakura, a third-year high school student and captain of the boys' volleyball team, is constantly being harassed by his underclassman Hanako Koyanagi, who is in charge of the girls' team. Koyanagi insists that since the girls have a match coming up, Kabakura should give up the courts to let them practice. When he refuses, she pulls out photographic evidence exposing his secret hobby.

With the danger of his entire team finding out about his otaku interests looming over him, Kabakura agrees to hand over the volleyball courts to Koyanagi, giving her some private coaching as well. As the two grow closer, they begin to forge an everlasting bond.

[Written by MAL Rewrite]

Third OVA—covering the "employee trip" chapter(s) from the sixth tankouban volume—will be bundled with the special edition of the 11th and final volume of the manga which ships on October 14, 2021.

If you're a fan of the main series, it's impossible not to enjoy these OVAs. While the focus is shifted away from our main couple, these episodes are undeniably sweet, and delve deeper into some of the side relationships that didn't get as much focus in the main series.

My only complaint was that the second episode ended on a pretty unsatisfying note, though I can only hope that might be rectified in the future with another season.

Overall though, the OVAs are very similar in tone to previous episodes, so there's no reason not to give them a watch.

This works on it's own.
I have not seen the show or plan to watch it, but I decide to watch this ova.
The ova tells the background story of one of the couple of the show. It is sweet and funny. There is more romance in this 22 min ova than multiple episode anime. You don't need to watch the show to enjoy it. This is one of more realistic couple i have seen in anime too. They argue and fight, he isn't the most handsome and she isn't the most prettiest, they are a real couple instead of your princes ... meet princess anime.

If you are looking for something original you won't find it here i praise it for having realistic couple but it been done before. What it does it does right. They played safe with the story but it was still much fun.

Mixed Feelings

A nice ending for Wotakoi.

This shows the origins of the green haired girl and the orange haired boys origin of their love story.

The first and third episodes were really nice. Second one misses the mark.

I gave Ep. 1 a 3/3

2nd Ep. a 0/3

... 3rd Ep. a 3/3

And synergy of them all a 0/1 cuz of that 2nd episode

So totally a 6/10

OP same and animation style same so it wasn't too bad.

6/10 could use a lot more content and while Kou's story is somewhat complete the rest of the stories are left hanging.

Thanks!
