This OVA does what the main series couldn't afford to, it stops moving long enough to let you actually see Ichika and Tomoya as people instead of comedy setups. The first meeting between them carries real weight, the kind that makes you understand why the rest of the show works at all. A thirteen-minute episode that earns more emotional ground than shows ten times its length.
Ichika and Tomoya meet for the first time in this single OVA episode, a comedic slice-of-life look at the moment their story begins. It is packaged as episode 13 with the Blu-ray release of the series, making it a bonus chapter that goes back to the start. Fans of light, everyday comedy will find a short standalone extra centered on that first meeting.
