Nobody talks about this one. Two teachers falling in love in stolen moments between faculty meetings and grading papers, where the romance isn't some grand declaration but the weight of choosing each other when nobody's looking. The intimacy here is real because it costs something, careers, reputation, the careful separation of professional and private life. It treats adult romance like something that actually matters, not setup for a bigger plot. The 1994 OVA format means this isn't padding a thirteen-episode story. It's just two people figuring out if love is worth the risk, and the show trusts that's enough.

Fresh out of college, Kawase Mitsuro starts his first job as an art teacher at a school. Like the students, he soon finds himself admiring senior teacher Kazama Toshiaki, whose physique draws the gaze of schoolgirls Kazama pays no mind to. Kazama senses something different about Kawase and invites him to dinner. Kawase accepts halfheartedly, doubting the interest is sincere. Once Kazama openly declares his love, Kawase hesitates, torn between his own feelings and what society expects of him. The jealousy of his younger brother Hitoshi complicates things further. The story is a two-episode romantic drama OVA from 1994.
