Why an OVA?... It the worst anime format... :/ Well, since it's only an addition to manga, maybe they'll make a TV series later...

Weird claim.
Makers get free hands with ecchi-scenes, no censoring or other lame crap. They can make it as ecchi as they want it to be. If you don't like ecchi, then you posted on the wrong piece of news.
Something.

Who cares about censoring? There's always uncensored DVDs, and a 12-13 episode series is always better than a 1 episode OVA. And that's true for any kind of show, ecchi or not. 95% of all recent OVAs are crap, because they're usually no longer than 3 episodes with overall duration of about 2 hours, and it's nearly impossible to make a faithful adaptation of anything with such a limited amount of time. And the animation quality of OVAs isn't any better now than of most TV series.
So, basically, if you're okay with just one episode of uncensored boobs, I'd prefer to wait a couple of months and see at least 12 episodes of uncensored boobs. And as I previously said, I hope they'll make a TV series later.

@ seishi-sama:
I'd rather watch couple nice and compact episodes than some terrible prolonged filler-season with over-dramatic "lol deep"-content. Awfully often they turn out to be about something along those lines you know.
And I have reason to believe that with staff that great producers are going to give sufficient funding, so animation itself can't be too shitty.
Something.

This is just like Kiss x Sis and coincidentally I have read both manga. All I can say is that Aki-Sora goes beyond Kiss x Sis in controversy, since Aki-Sora involves blood related siblings in a twisted romance.

Oh wow! Now this is definitely some news! I'm surprised that Aki-sora's getting an OVA adaptation.. then again so did Kissxsis but more so, this is just one of the many mangas out there that don't have any kind of recognition whatsoever.. or should I say, too few even know or have heard of this. I can say the same for Kissxsis, so I'm definitely looking forward to this as much as I am with the last OVA episode for Kissxsis.

Aki Sora is in my opinion the best manga there is.
I'm quite happy it will be animated, but I hope later on it becomes a full TV series. It's just a shame that it will take a while before they have enough material for that.
Chapter 4 and Chapter 6 were "liberating" in the moral sense. They were all about freedom. But the best chapter is not the legendary "Chapter 6". The best chapter is Chapter 9. The tension was incredible.

I was really surprised when I saw this news announcement on ANN. Can't wait to check it out once its released. This manga spurred me on to reading other manga due to the lovely artwork... among other things... so it will always have a special place in my heart lol

The staff for this OVA is great and the decision to have Eri Kitamura (who I loved in her Chaos Head and Toradora roles) play Aki is a fantastic choice! :D

OVA give you a good basis of story, if you typically want to find out more read the manga.

Edit: Happy World ( http://myanimelist.net/anime/319/Happy_World! ) is my kind of example when the OVA was ok but not good however it got me to read the manga which i found to be great. :p

I can't help but get the feeling that it'll probably be heavily censored or changed. Well we'll just have to wait and see. Otherwise I can't wait to see!!!

I did't expect it to be an OVA adaptation...
Judging from the manga...it not like ecchi anymore...more like hentai perhaps?
