Looks like some childhood memories explored relating to Ichika. I admit, she's kinda cute as a kid but the OVA isn't something I'll remember by for awhile. Oh and it's 4 minutes of course.

I actually enjoyed this episode. We got to see Ichika when she was younger and how the step-siblings first met.

It's was pretty good since we got to see Ichika back when she was a child. The atmosphere felt so warm this episode because of how Tomo and Ichika met. The interaction between Ichika's mom and Ichika was nice to see as well.

7/10

Kinda expected Ichika to have some kind of encounter with Tomoya in the past.
Haha Ichika and her epic stalking skills.

At least they weren't against their parents remarrying.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

A nice OVA with some background information. I liked how this was actually longer that an episode of the series (^-^).

Ichika already knows a lot about Tomoya without even meeting him lol. Good to see what they were like before they met.

Aww she has always wanted a sibling to the point of creeping other kids out lmao. Kind of cute how they met when they were kids. They're destined to be siblings :)

"I know! I've been scoping it out!" ahaha Ichika <3

Heh, even at a young age she's scaring away people with her enthusiasm. But still, extra adorable in her youth. xD It was nice to have seen them meet before.

Very nice episode.
The way she wanted a sibling was cute, and she even saw Tomo when he was younger, that's destiny.

Really nice episode. It was different than the episodes from the main series, mostly because it was less funny (even though it had some comedy scenes) and focused mostly on the plot. Here we had some scenes presenting background of both Ichika (however mostly about herm that can't be denied) and Tomoya. Ichika's childhood, informations about Tomoya's mother, and of course how both of them were like shortly before being introduced to each other. At least officially, 'cause Ichika's skills as a stalker were menacingly impressive, lol.

The reveal that Ichika's big sister (and stalker) instincts have been honed ever since she was a kid is ...very Ichika-esque, alright.

Wonder how her mom reacted to her "having come to see her new brother's house many times before" before actually officially stepping inside it lol
