It is finally out, but it took a while for streaming to work for me.

Seiyuus that are not listed:
Miu's father: Hideyuki Umezu
Miu's mother: Kaori Yamagata.

From this ova, you will know why Miu is that way in the movie.

The raw is finally out and I just watched it. For some reason, Miu's childhood story seemed in animation seemed more depressing than the light novel one.

Finally subs. :D

I have to say this didn't disappoint at all. Though Miu really had it a rough time. From her Mom using her as a pillow to blame her for everything.

The last episode is about Nanase, right? I can't wait to see her take on the story.

Not bad. But after watching the movie this just kind of felt like watching Miu's childhood over again, although with more detail.

I've got questions. Is this episode is somewhere in Bungaku Shoujo Books? Or it is invented to this OVA?

I was like NOOOOOO!!!! when Miu walked towards the birdcage and then she really killed the poor bird. Gosh.

Very good episode. Miu may be twisted but I actually feel a little sorry for her because of her family.

This ep was as good as the first, so obviously gave it a 10/10. The story was interesting from Miu's point of view, even the manga didn't explain it properly what really happened on the rooftop, but well, the manga has it's own schedule based on the Takeda Chia and Shuuji-senpai plot.

A rather powerful episode delivering good drama. I never though Miu would go to such bad things in life like a divorce and being used as punching not only for her mother's misery vocal complaining but also to her fahter's mistress death threats! The story of how she was bullied and became friends with Konoha was quite touching.

What baffles me is how she killed the bird in the spoiler?
Seeing the wounds it looks to me like she shoved a pencil/pen and hide it away. She was crazy enough to do that because Konoha was paying less attention to her and she even smiled after she killed that bird! As such Miu has a yandere complex as she even told another girl that was just friends with him that Miu and Konoha had sex as well as that he insulted her hence why the slap came. Suicide part was done good to convey the feelings. But the misunderstanding in all this was so bad to lead to a suicide, wish Miu was more open to Konoha. Good episode and curse Miu's parents for all her suffering.

i couldn't believe she killed the bird! like a lot of other people, i was all screaming NEEEEEIIIN in myy head while she was walking toward the birdcage.

one question that bugged me: it very obviously looked like an unnatural death. i mean, when birds die naturally they usually don't have large puncture wounds in the neck. how come inoue (and his mother) didn't suspect anything when they buried it? i mean, if it was me, i totally would've been like, YOU KILLED MAH BIRD. :f

The story was played out beautifully. Totally different from the previous episode.

But damn, Miu was a messed up. And Konoha didn't do anything to help. Poor girl.

Very sad... Miu was obviously a troubled and alone girl. Her childhood really twisted her to the point where all she knew was to hurt people. Fantastic episode.

Poor Miu, loved her story. I can't wait to watch the movie, one more episode to go first.

Really interested in the novel, hope it'd be in English someday.

Interesting characters. Interesting.

Her family really twisted up her mind. With the loneliness she felt her entire life, Konoha was something precious to her. At one point, her happiness mixed in with envy...which drove her over the edge.

Rather strong episode I'd say.

Miu's childhood sure is depressing, the phone call that she receive is just wow...

Looking forward to the next one, I'm liking this OVA so far.

This sums it up. I give it a 10/10. And I don't do that very easily. As someone else said, it was a masterpiece. Very, very sad and so full of dark dark emotion.

Same.

This episode deserves 5/5. Definitely way better than the last episode.
Her mom is a bitch and idk about the dad but I dislike both parents.
One more episode to go~

This second OVA took me much longer than the first, the atmosphere is dramatic, and we know firsthand the vicissitudes of Miu and not only through his voice! Although the first pleasant this here is much more intriguing and additional information you integrate with the movie!

I did not like Miu. It just seems like she got jealous for no reason, and then she's like "well Konoha wrote a novel and kept it from me, guess I better kill myself so he'll always remember me"........wtf. I realize her childhood kind of sucked but damn. And then there was the bird, I was really hoping that scene wasn't going where I thought it was going.......

I liked the previous episode more.
