Azusa already has Ikumi's heart, and the whole school knows it. The real tension isn't whether they'll end up together, it's watching them navigate the space between "everyone knows" and actually saying it out loud. A single OVA that trades dramatic obstacles for the specificity of a love that's already real, just not quite official yet.
Azusa Kawahara is the cheerful manager of her high school soccer team, and her heart belongs to Ikumi, a teammate and her childhood friend. The feeling is mutual, and the whole school knows what is going on between them, yet several rivals still try to pull the pair apart. Lately Ikumi has been unusually busy after school. When Azusa secretly spots him away from school with a female student she does not recognize, she begins to question whether Ikumi really returns her love. The story is a one-episode high school romance released as an OVA in 1989.
