Two episodes to resolve a love triangle that the manga spent ten volumes agonizing over, and it will either wreck you or lose you completely. This is the version where Itsuki comes back from America chasing sculpture, Iori walks away from the idol track to actually act, and Ichitaka just rides his bike around town like the answer is somewhere on the road between them. The art is the flex: natural color work, animation that stays fluid where cheaper romance OVAs go still, Katsura's designs given room to breathe. But it openly diverges from both the manga and I's Pure, so if you walk in cold you'll be reading subtext that was written somewhere else. Come in already knowing what Ichitaka never says out loud, and those quiet stretches land like a punch.

Ichitaka rides his bicycle alone, trying to make up his mind between two women. Itsuki, a childhood friend who went to America, has come back to Japan with the goal of becoming a molding artist. Iori has turned her back on an idol career and is now chasing her dream of becoming an actress. This two-episode OVA is a romantic drama built around the choice he has to make between them.
