This works on it's own. I have not seen the show or plan to watch it, but I decide to watch this ova. The ova tells the background story of one of the couple of the show. It is sweet and funny. There is more romance in this 22 min ova than multiple episode anime. You don't need to watch the show to enjoy it. This is one of more realistic couple i have seen in anime too. They argue and fight, he isn't the most handsome and she isn't the most prettiest, they are a real couple instead of your princesmeet princess anime. If you are looking for something original you won't find it here i praise it for having realistic couple but it been done before. What it does it does right. They played safe with the story but it was still much fun.

A story on its own in the universe of the hard love life of nerds. I love it honestly, a very heart-racing story of falling in love, their first exchanges. You can clearly see how the connection grows from team captains to something more. The story is well written, a nice flashback on high school life of the two main characters of the show, the only thing that's sad is that we didn't get more episodes out of this, as it could easily be a story on its own. When it comes to OVA's I really don't like them as most of the time theydon't really give you anything important to the story, but this one just blew my mind. Expecting just some random side story, I got to experience when the main characters were in high school and had their first contacts. All in all worth watching even if you didn't watch the show. It will spoil a few things just a warning.

This acts essentially as a continuation of the main series, and it was impossible not to love these OVAs given how I felt about them. The characters really do grow on you, and I loved seeing their interactions, especially on the hot springs work trip in the third episode. It was also nice seeing more of Hana and Kabakura's background, and seeing things develop between Nao and Kou even more as they both begin to realise their budding feelings for one another. I really did want to yell at Narumi to just tell the poor boy that she loves him though, because Hirotaka is stillso uncertain about their relationship. That ending with them two in the kitchen and her asking him on a trip very nearly made up for it though, and honestly this was just very cute.

I dropped the original series because the main couple is so boring. Yesterday i've seen a scene of kabakura and hanako on tiktok and i immediately watch this OVA. They are more interesting than the main couple. I enjoyed it more than the original series. This OVA makes me want to try completing the original series just so i can watch kabakura and hanako more. The story is well written. They show a flashback on high school life of kabakura and hanako. I wish they would make a spin off of these two. So overall i give it a 7. Thank you to the director formaking these OVAs

If you're a fan of the main series, it's impossible not to enjoy these OVAs. While the focus is shifted away from our main couple, these episodes are undeniably sweet, and delve deeper into some of the side relationships that didn't get as much focus in the main series. My only complaint was that the second episode ended on a pretty unsatisfying note, though I can only hope that might be rectified in the future with another season. Overall though, the OVAs are very similar in tone to previous episodes, so there's no reason not to give them a watch.
