Hirano to Kagiura · review
I was expecting this short to serve as an introduction to the relationship between Hirano and Kagiura seen in the manga series of the same name, since anime-only viewers do not know much about these characters, particularly Kagiura. However, this was just 8 minutes of random snippets of the manga's earlier chapters, not providing an exposition to the series, but rather just advertising for the manga (or potentially, a future adaptation of Hirano and Kagiura). My recommendation for fans of the manga is to not go into this short with high expectations and view it for what it is. As well, to those that havenot read the manga, it is a good read for anyone interested in slow-burn romance! It is as wholesome as Sasaki and Miyano, but I rate this series higher simply because it is less cringe due to the fact that BL manga is no longer a plot point.
