God bless the aesthetic of early 90s OVAs which are lucky to survive as digital transfers of the VHS tape.

This anime one-shot is a touch slow, but it's a complete story that's affecting if you're into 90s-era shoujo at all. Most of the episode is structured around one-on-one conversations about the characters' feelings and there's not too much of a conflict because the problem at hand is the main character's *perception* of a conflict. She doesn't want to be selfish, but there's nothing actually standing in her way because the problematic relationship is already over. Understanding that things do not necessarily last forever is an ... important part of growing up, and I liked the ways the characters came to realizations of that effect.

It's not deep or lavishly animated. It's not complex or notable. Nonetheless, it is enjoyable.

This is not a typical love story, although in the end it does become a very cliché one it keeps being weird.

The protagonist of this story, Saki, is a girl who is deeply in love with her sister's boyfriend. From here the story is a little strange for me because that situation is too uncomfortable. Saki, however, wants to do everything possible to forget that love, but everything becomes complicated when she starts classes at the same university as him. So far everything seems like a normal story, but in the end without any context her sister tells her that she ended the relationship ... with her boyfriend and then Saki starts dating him, personally I find that conclusion very ridiculous and weird, I didn't like it at all.

On the other hand, I want to highlight the animation and aesthetics of this OVA, I really liked the environments, the details in everyone's designs, they made the ridiculous plot more bearable.

I do not recommend this OVA unless you enjoy the “taboo”love stories.
