Nobody talks about this one. Aki is just a girl with ordinary dreams, a boy she likes, friendships that matter, the simple weight of becoming someone, and the OVA watches her with the kind of quiet attention that makes those dreams feel real enough to break. It doesn't announce itself as supernatural until it has to, and when it does, the genre shift lands like a door closing on a life that was supposed to keep going. For viewers who've felt the specific ache of wanting something small and impossible, this stays with you.

Aki Itou is an ordinary high school girl living an ordinary life. She reads books, feeds stray cats, eats out at restaurants with her friend Kumi, dreams about becoming an adult, and quietly admires the boy she likes. Her hopes soon collide with a harsher reality, and she learns that the world does not always treat dreamers gently. This two-episode OVA from 1994 mixes drama, romance and slice of life with supernatural elements.
