This one gets you with a promise nobody kept. Mutsumi and Sae pick a place, agree to meet again, and then Mucchan simply doesn't come, and the OVA lets that absence sit until it aches. Years later he walks past the same spot on the way to school and Sacchan is still there, still waiting, and the show doesn't punish you with melodrama about it. It just lets them play again, easy and unhurried, while the dread hums underneath because you already know from the first minute this can't last. There's no spectacle here, no swelling orchestra doing your feeling for you, just one episode of quiet time being spent by two people who ran out of it. Twenty-odd minutes, and the nickname Sacchan will still be sitting on your chest afterward.

Years ago, Mutsumi and Sae enjoyed their time together so much that they agreed on a place to meet again, but Mutsumi never showed up. Years later, while heading to school, he passes that very spot and finds Sae there, having waited for him all that time. The two begin spending their days playing together once more, though this renewed closeness is not meant to last. A single-episode OVA, it blends drama with romance.
