unfortuantely it's not a continuation, but a side story. funny episode nevertheless. Yin seems to be quite interested in doujins/fanfics. the scene with elephant was awesome. ^^

QFT !!!
well that was a funny/cute OAV .
Although I would have preferred a sequel/conclusion to the main story , it was still enjoyable .

Not too bad. Could've done without the moe/doujin stuff, but it was pretty entertaining. Really liked the scenes with the cherry blossom trees.

Maybe wait until you're at least half way in, or at least after the detective story episodes (Forget when they are).

Yeah, your going to want to familiarize yourself with more of the characters before viewing this. I thought it was pretty funny, definitely better as an after series OVA (would of seemed pretty out of place during, unless it was shown close to some of the detective episodes). 8/10

I havent watched it yet, but reading the comments in this thread it sounds like they didnt answer the main mystery of the show? If so, how disappointing. Its more than disappointing actually, the show now looks even more flawed to me. There's a difference between smart ambiguity and stretching an interesting premise so thin you cant even wrap it up at the end.

It was a cool, cute, comedic episode..nothing dramatic or key to the anime itself. as a standalone episode, I give it a 7/10, though i gave the series a 9/10!

qft; funny little epilogue there at the end. Overall a decent, if somewhat pointless, OVA. A fun distraction nonetheless.

The only thing this ep did for me, other than re-awaken my disappointment in the series, is again feel impatience at waiting for a second soundtrack.

8/10, pretty good for a sidestory. Yin was so cute in the episode <3 And of course I gotta say that the humour is alot more apparent in the OVA than the series itself.

It was good, but meh. they could have just aired this. I would have even preferred a 5 minute epilogue, compared to this episode of filler.

Oh well. It was good for what it was. I hope they do something to conlude the show, though.

The plot holes are so big, you can't even call them plot holes. It's more like... there are little islands of plot inside a giant ocean of emptiness...

Didn't really like it. Humor failed for me, except for collarbones...

Collar bones makes me think of Kyou no Go no Ni.

I liked this episode. I wasn't expecting comedy but I found myself laughing a whole lot throughout.

Yeah! It made me think of that anime, too!

I liked it - I really did. At the end, I thought "WOW They're finally exposed" - until cat came and fell over... just like Chii.

Aw, and that poor gut at the end - That was a great point!

what type of file do you have? if its ogm/mkv make sure you click it so that it has english subs. also you may need to update your filters.

wow i thought i commented on this. but yea this was great. i enjoyed the part where he actually still had allergies at the end. if he didn't that would give us the idea that he actually became a contractor.

I enjoyed it. It was fun to see all the characters again. Although it did make me miss the series. I was kind of sad for Li's neighbor (forgot his name) at the end.

On an interesting side note, tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of the day I watched episode 1 of the series. Maybe I should've waited a day before watching this...
