*Spoiler Free review*
(Information in review will also be found on the description on the back of the book, no major spoilers)

This Review is dedicated to everyone who thinks about reading this *cough* delicate *cough* Manga.

At first, it seems to be your decent everyday Heroin Manga with an introduction to a side character (Momoko Kanno) who then leads us to the protagonists, the 5 scissor sisters.

After a short time, it becomes clear, that this book is complete and utter bull... I mean, Hair loss-Aliens? (Yes, this is a thing apparently in this Manga)


... Story: 3
The Story was poor, dull and had absolutely no excitement to it, it's as flat as Hatsune Miku's chest...
You can't put the bad jokes aside here because the Manga is really trying way too hard.

Art: 9
Marico *sniff*... why did you have to waste your talents on such a primitive story... I'm disappointed...

Character: 5
The Characters were average and they could not only blend into the Sailor Moon Franchise...
unoriginal, but some of them at least had a kawaii factor

Enjoyment: 3
I tried hard to enjoy this... I really really tried...
I had to put the books away for days before I could pick them up again sometimes

Overall: 5
I must admit, it did make me giggle from time to time and I guess it could pass as a kind of satire or parody... but it doesn't advertise itself as such and it seems like the writers just wanted to put a cheap project together and were dead-serious about it.
The Art by Marico is marvellous as usual, she was the only reason I wanted to read this Manga.


Conclusion:
I would only recommend this if you have too much time on your hand and have nothing else to do than to waste it on unfavourable manga

I feel kind of obligated to give a small explanation about this OVA since it seems nobody else did it before.

This OVA isn't part of the main series and although it's the same setting and the same characters, this Episode wouldn't fit into the main story at all.

You could say this is kind of an alternative to the story or maybe a nightmare that Makoto Itou is having? The nightmare thingy might be the best explanation to it since his conscious might feel guilty.

All in all, this wasn't as funny, it was just creepy and a little awkward and the purpose to ... it is, that it's just a little (bad) extra for the School Days Fans.
If you're not as obsessed with School Days and didn't like the main story as much, don't waste your time on this.

Why it doesn't fit into the story:

- according to Nanami Kanroji in the main series, Otome Kato and Sekai Saionji haven't known each other before other than being in gym class together - in this OVA it looks like they've known each other very well and they're at least good friends

- Otome bullies Kotonoha Katsura, so why would she even invite Otome to the hot spring? Even given that this might be after they all went to the pool, why would Otome be part of it?

- did Makoto Itou ever meet Sekai's Mother? She never appeared in the main Story and her appearance in the OVA is just awkward

- the timeline doesn't fit, even if this would be after the swimming pool incidence, it would mean that it now must be summer or fall, but valentines is in February

- also, a new school year starts in spring, this is when Sekai and Makoto get seated together and the main story ends when it's Christmas... there is no way that all of them could've experienced valentines like this together, given that some of them didn't even know each other


Well, the OVA has its flaws... maybe a little too many of them and you might find even more when you dig enough through the story.
I was a little disappointed, since I watched the whole main series again just for the OVA....

*Spoiler Free Review for Wakuwaku Mini-Theater*

These are just a few short "backstage"-scenes which happen inbetween the episodes.

They present the characters and their lifes in a satirical once again and if you're sad you've already watched all the Amaburi Episodes but can't seperate from the characters, this gives you comfort!

They're fun to watch, but have a simple art style and are just meant as a joke.
They don't really deserve the score they have right now (6).

Sure, they're not a masterpiece, but if you watched and loved Amaburi, you'll cry out of laughter thanks to these little shorties!
...
It's at least a solid 8!


(Warning, filled with insider-jokes! Watch Amaburi first, then these)
