There is not much to talk about this anime, but I will give my opinion anyway.

It's like the name of the anime says: A collection of stories by Inukk Kanako.

This OVA presents us with 4 stories, and 3 of them are basically similar.
The first story is what is in the synopsis. Bukita keeps chasing girls around school and telling them that they are in love with him, and since he has a scary appearance, everyone is afraid of him. In this first story Bukita dies in a traffic accident, but comes back to life without a piece of his head, just like the doll he gave to the girl that she dropped and broke. In the end the girl commits suicide by throwing herself in front of a truck, but there is nothing explicit about it.

The second story is basically the same as the first, but involves a girl who is nice to all the boys. After having the whole plot with Bukita and the girl, she ends up throwing herself out of the window and lands on the spiked gate. In this story the girl's death was a little more graphic.

The third story is the simplest, shortest and is the one I have the most to say.
This third story is about 2 minutes long - it's about a girl who thinks she should have closed the door, and there resides an evil spirit.
In this third one it's interesting the art that they chose to use. Basically almost everything is done in CG, and amazingly the CG is good, even more so if you take into account that this is a low budget anime from 1999. The atmosphere of this little story is even more "dark" than the others, especially because of its different aesthetics. In this little story the use of CG was much greater than the 2D, the 2D was even a bit restrained, but it matched what I wanted to convey.

The last story is the longest, but I don't even have much to talk about. It has some differences between the first and the second, since this time it was a girl who fell in love with Kubita instead of him falling in love with the girl. There was some Plot Twist towards the end, but nothing too much. Aaaa... And in this last story, the girl doesn't kill herself in the end.

The art of this anime is something that helps a lot, it really gives a strange atmosphere.
The direction is really good. They use the little they had and execute well, plus the good use of CG in the third story. The direction manages to convey well what the characters feel, it's a positive point.

This is another random OVA from the 90s. It was better than I thought it would be. It was nice to watch.
