This is what happens when an OVA stops pretending the ecchi is a side dish. Two episodes of summer break where the flirtation doesn't need plot armor because there's barely any plot to begin with. Chizuru finally gets what she's been chasing since episode one, and the show doesn't waste energy on obstacles or consequences. The animation bump from the TV series makes every embarrassed face land harder. If you watched the original series waiting for the tension to break, this is exactly what you were actually there for.

Summer vacation arrives, and Kota finds himself caught in the usual chaos with Chizuru, a fox who never misses a chance to flirt with him. While Kota tries to keep some dignity, Chizuru keeps him thoroughly embarrassed with her teasing. Their friends are part of the mix too: Nozomu keeps interrupting, and Tayura longs for Akane, who turns him down. The OVA settles into the easy pace of the school break, letting the cast relax in the heat. Things between Chizuru and Kota have shifted a little since earlier, yet the familiar romance carries on. With its ecchi, romance and slice-of-life leanings, these two episodes offer low-stakes summer days full of flirting and awkward moments.
