I'm so intrigued by the existence of this thing, because it feels like anything about it has been wiped off the internet, at least in an official sense. With an OVA that's only 5 minutes and only 2 speaking characters, I was baffled to see cast members for the other characters on multiple sites, even logged on the waybackmachine. I wish I was fluent in Japanese so I could scrounge for details, like was it cancelled? The 5 minutes I did see were cute and had a chill vibe. Was it because it was a male crossdressing anime and 2010 just wasn’t ready for ityet? There were talks of a DVD being sold, even what looked to be one on yahoo auctions. Is it just that 5 minute PV, or is it a proper OVA/OVA series? If so, is it just lost media? There's supposedly 2 chapters of a manga that are a prelude to it that I also can't find. I'm so perplexed by everything I come across.
5 stars for the brief entertainment of wondering what the hell was going on with this thing.
