Easily one of the cutest OVAs I’ve seen in a long time. It can be summed up pretty simply ; two high school boys at a boarding school fall in love. The setting and characters are what really makes it stand out. It’s simple, easy to watch, and the characters have just enough depth to keep any viewer invested. While women in these types of shows are infamously misrepresented, this isn’t the case for once. The side characters are interesting and well crafted. Most importantly, they move the plot ahead rather than plotting to destroy the romance - which is a refreshing change. There’s an endearingmonologue one character gives to motivate the protagonist into following his heart; which seems like a sweet little self-insert from the writer.

The animation is dated. Not in a bad way, it holds up well if you know what you’re getting into. There’s parts where it’s obvious the artist is just guessing, and it adds to the charm. The mild issues with anatomy and perspectives aren’t downright offensive. If you’re into the classics, it’s on the higher end of quality for the era.

Great casual watching for any gays out there.
