Mixed Feelings
Let me just say that the manga of this story is absolutly amazing and my favorite it Comedy/Romance and Yaoi catagories so excuse me if i mention it a few times and compair the two.
~Story~
The Ova covers the First Volumes first five chapters, and in a manga thats 7 volumes and going you can obviously see that the plot of the Ova barely scratched the surface of the true plot. However, since i cant judge it like that i will try to judge it individually. When i heard that the manga had been turned into a short Ova i was not expecting much for two reasons.
The first is that the manga still is not finished, making an ova/anime when the manga has yet to finish usually always ends up terrible. The second reason is because you cant fit such a huge plot in two short episodes because then it would just end up too confusing and stupid.
When i watched it i was actually suprised, not for the good reason either. Usually when i look at an anime im usually wrong about it (at least i admit it). If i think it will be bad its usually decent and if i think it will be good it makes me bored. This one i was spot on about and honestly the only thing i got out of this was an ego boost. The Ova was rushed, didnt go into the actual story line although i didnt expect it to and honestly it really did no justice to the actual story or the writter.
~Art~
The art was pretty good actually, the manga had better art but this was decent art for an ova.
~Characters~
We all know that in short Ova's usually you dont get to reach into the characters lives/pasts. You just kind of have to guess that stuff and usually i have no problem with that. However the characters are a lot deeper than the Ova made them out to be.
~Overall~
I think i probably would have rated it a lot higher if i hadnt read the manga. I guess as i said im kind of partial to this because of that. I did my best to rate it individually however its not always easy when your so dissapointed. Having said that if i look at it as itself and not as having a manga heres what i summerize.
The manga has good art, funny characters and a cute relationship between the two main characters. However based on what you see the relationship is shallow and quickly explained.
I gave the manga a 10/10 all around, however sadly for its Ova i give it a 6/10.
If you really enjoyed the Ova i stress that you read the manga, if you love the manga i stress that you watch the Ova.
