This is quiet and specific in ways most romance anime aren't. Two girls who are already together, already comfortable, just existing in the space between sunrise and school, and the animation treats every small gesture like it matters, the way light catches skin, how hands almost touch, the particular tenderness of someone who knows exactly how to look at you. It's not about confession or crisis. It's about the daily work of staying in love with someone, and it never once pretends that's boring.
Yamada is a shy, somewhat clumsy high school girl who has always found joy in her school's flower gardens. Then the lively track star Kase catches her eye, and the two start dating. Kase is outgoing, tomboyish and popular, while Yamada is timid and has never been in a relationship. For all their differences, they try to understand and support one another as they feel the thrill of first love. Getting together was hard enough, but keeping their new romance growing brings its own challenges. This gentle romance and slice of life OVA is adapted from Takashima Hiromi's yuri manga and had a limited theatrical screening.
