The cultural festival is one of the most important events on the academic calendar. Just like all other clubs, Mizusawa's Karuta Club is preparing to participate as well. Due to previous circumstances, Team Captain Chihaya Ayase is temporarily absent during the team planning. First year student Sumire Hanano is intent on taking advantage of this occasion to fulfill her dream and finally make her teammate, Taichi Mashima, fall in love with her. A play based on Genji Monogatari might be just the thing she needs to enact her plan. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Well to start up with I guess the OVA didn't live up to the expectations that we generally have with Chihayafuru but all in all it was kinda good. The OVA basically focuses on Sumire's love for Taichi and her trying to snatch him from our beloved Chihaya. Chihaya has almost no screentime so you can guess that there is no Karuta played either. The good parts of the OVA were that it had a good touch of comedy and the art was beautiful. The ending was kinda hilarious too. Lastly I would like to say that if you are watching the OVA for seeing chihayain action don't. The OVA is a comedy and a bit of romance. NOTE: Well I like Chihaya and Arata as a couple better. :)

There are very few OVAs that actually have a real plot and unfortunately this is not one of them. Almost all school anime OVAs will be either beach or school event, with this one being the latter - the school culture festival in this case (sorry, no fanservice). Basically, as the club discusses what to present in the culture festival, Hanano pushes for performing a stage play, hoping to act in a romantic scene with Mashima, but things don't go exactly how she wants. There you go, the entire plot in a single sentence. The OVA adds nothing to the actual plot so if you're not the typeof person who enjoys these fillers, you might as well just skip to the third season. Sound and art are good but note that as far as I know the episode was only released on DVD, so no HD version is available.

I don't really know how to review this OVA to be honest. It was a really fun experience to watch these characters have an off day and kind of joke around outside of the tense matches we see them in during the main series. Obviously, as an OVA, the quality isn't as high-caliber since this is just meant to be a side-story. However, I do think the little character developments for Taichi regarding Chihaya and Hanano were nice. It was a nice highlight for that small love triangle that sort of exists between those three. It wasn't something huge, but it was there, and Iliked that. Other than that, the humor in this episode is very Chihayafuru, so if you enjoyed the main series' comedic bits, then you'll enjoy this episode. Like I said, it was fun to hang out with this characters in a completely comedic way rather than the drama that we get in the anime. We don't come to OVA episodes for quality, we come to have fun, and you certainly will with this episode.

Mixed Feelings

On the one hand, it's nice to see the series lean into its SoL side a little bit more this episode. Taking a departure from karuta and seeing our characters function in school with the looming festival is a nice touch and I think it's beneficial for the series to do this every now and then. On the other hand, I don't think Sumire can command an episode yet. Her romantic drive towards Taichi is still underdeveloped, and given that it's an important part of the OVA, it just doesn't keep my interest. I like her tactics, though - seeing how she wins the othersover to her side is entertaining, and the payoff feels on brand for this series, even if it's not the most fulfilling way to end it.
