Its always good to see a story brought to life and told through another medium. What I found interesting is that the writers and producers basically said "Who needs a origin story", they know if you watched this OVA you have more than likely read the manga. And just like that the story picks up in the the middle of some of the thickest drama of the series.
The sound quality was good and the voice actors did a very good job with the lines that they had. Eba voice was very pleasant and conveyed a certain endearing quality to it that makes you like

her instantly.
The story could be a little hard to follow since its not told in chronological order, jumping straight past a lot of emotional and character development. It focuses more on the romance/drama aspect of the story most likely due to the fact that they only have 23 mins to tell a story that still going well in to the 100's of chapters. Its pretty dry at first because they leave out the comedy and ecchi that were present in the manga but it picks up a few minutes in to it. And I never thought I'd say this but I prefer the art in the manga over the animated style. However its not bad its just different from the manga.
Overall its a good start but with so many holes in it, it makes it feel like a season finale more than the season premier. But its a OVA and you can do things when you have an audience that keeps up with the manga. Fans of the manga should enjoy this series.
