This OVA had great potential to be extremely cute and wholesome, however the team decided to sour the episode with very questionable fanservice.

The anime itself has occasional questionable fanservice, the main target being the preschooler Kanna, but this OVA had more than one uncomfortable fanservice scene. Kobayashi herself, Kanna and Shouta fall into the main anime's more problematic fanservice/shipping themes without the wholesome story to overpower them.

The first half of the OVA is about chocolate gifting. The implications of Kobayashi's actions on Kanna, and later her actions to Tohru, definitely ruined the entire OVA for me personally.

The animation and music are wonderful. It's a shame ... the story didn't utilize its characters, or the fanservice, in a more appropriate way.

With its cast of attractive adult women, with strong platonic and romantic connections established in the main series, there is no excuse for Tohru's 'gift' or the joking(?) implications after Kobayashi eats it.
