This OVA knows exactly what it is: a chance to sit with Inari and Kon in the quiet spaces between the series, where the real comfort lives. The show has never needed plot momentum to earn your attention, and this proves it, just two characters understanding each other in ways that cost nothing to give, set against Kyoto's familiar shrine grounds. If you watched the original and felt the warmth in those small moments, this is 30 minutes of pure that, nothing more.
Inari's shapeshifting adventures continue in this bonus episode, picking up where her unexpected divine gift left off. Back in Kyoto, the shy middle schooler navigates the complications that come with being able to transform into anyone, all while her feelings for Tanbabashi remain as complicated as ever. Kon, the fox deity who granted her these powers, is never far from the action, and their dynamic drives much of the comedy here. The supernatural mechanics of Inari's ability clash with very ordinary teenage concerns: can she use her gift to get closer to her crush, or will it only make things messier? The tone stays light and playful, balancing romantic tension with the absurdity of a girl who can literally become someone else. This OVA works best if you've already spent time with these characters in the main series, as it assumes you're invested in Inari's journey and the chemistry between her and Kon. It's a short but worthwhile continuation for anyone who wanted more of Kyoto's supernatural romance.
