This one works on you quietly, the way a house with the parents gone always sounds too big. Two episodes, almost no spectacle, and the entire load is carried by the space between three people who already know each other too well. Yuki keeps her feelings for Kenji folded up small because saying them out loud would break the arrangement they live in, and then Hiyori steps out of the closet in his room, see-through, smiling, a childhood friend who should not be standing there. The reunion is genuinely warm before anyone thinks to be scared of it, which is the sharpest thing the OVA does. A ghost story where nobody screams, just three kids sitting in an empty house realizing somebody has to be the one to say it.
Adapted from an adult game by NekoNeko Soft, this two-episode OVA centers on Kenji and his younger stepsister Yuki, who share a house their parents are rarely home to see. Yuki has long harbored secret feelings for him. One night a girl emerges from the closet in Kenji's room, her body see-through like a ghost's. She is Hiyori, a friend from their childhood. Kenji and Yuki are happy to see her again, though her strange form puzzles them. As Kenji and Hiyori grow close, Yuki is shaken and recalls an old hurt: as children, she was meant to give Hiyori a light blue toy ring of Kenji's in trade for Hiyori's yoyo, but Hiyori fell ill and moved away before the swap happened. Those childhood events appear tied to Hiyori's return, and a supernatural romantic drama unfolds between Kenji and the two girls.
