This is a show that asks nothing from you except to sit there and watch kids be kids, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. The comedy lives in the smallest moments: a toddler copying his older brother's study posture, a teenager's clumsy attempt to figure out what someone likes so he can say thank you properly. There's no conflict that needs resolving, no lesson waiting at the end, just the specific warmth of people who care about each other doing ordinary things together. It costs nothing to watch and leaves you wanting more of it.
Ryuuichi steps away from his babysitting duties to concentrate on his upcoming exams. Following his example, Kotarou and the other little ones sit down to practice their writing. Ryuuichi also wants to thank Saikawa, who helped him through the tests, and he quietly tries to find out what she likes. He cooks curry for the chairwoman and Saikawa. The OVA also offers a playful take on Snow White starring the babysitter club's cast. The chairwoman plays the queen, while Inomata, as Snow White, is shut away in a castle with nothing to do but study. Ryuuichi is the huntsman who leads her outside, and the babies play the dwarfs, meeting Usaida in the forest. Light comedy mixes everyday school life with storybook fun.
