The Hakuemi and Mikochi is essentially just a 13th episode of the series. If you enjoyed the television series you should be able to enjoy this one. The OVA is split into two parts, the first part focusing on the Hakuemei's work partner, Iwashi, and the hair stylist, Jada. The second part focuses on Hakumei and Mikochi as well as two new character, inn sisters Mimari and Shinato, who act as your classic nice and well-mannered little sister and loud and rude older sister (think Kyou-Ryou (Clannad) or Kagami-Tsukasa (Lucky Star)). As always, this anime has a unique art style and soothing soundtrack that fits extremelywell it's relaxing tone. It'll almost be like you're cuddled up to the fireplace with the characters, it's just that comfortable.

Since this is essentially an extra episode of the television series and since I've already talked about the new characters, I'm going to assume you're already acquainted with characters so instead of describing them, I'll talk about what I think makes this OVA special, the character interactions.

You're always in for a treat when you see characters who have yet to meet finally get to that point and interact. Jada's lazy, yet welcoming attitude fits extremely well when coupled with Iwashi's kindness. Like any good slice-of-life, Hakumei and Mikochi's characters make what would usually be a boring task into something interesting through how the characters interact with each other.

Overall, if you enjoyed the original television series at all, I would definitely recommend watching this OVA as well. And if for whatever reason, you haven't watched the original television series yet, I would recommend doing yourself a favor and watching that, and then coming back and watching this.
