A Christmas Eve love story told twice from inside each person's head, so you watch the same night collapse in two completely different ways. The magic isn't in plot, it's in how badly two people can misread each other while trying so hard to get it right. By the second episode you realize the real gift wasn't the mini donkey, it was how clearly the show sees what it costs to be vulnerable with someone you're terrified of losing.
Yuudai and Chizuru are spending their first Christmas together. He's serious and kind but shy, she's lively and a little clumsy, and both carry a history of failed romances. Yuudai means to give animal-loving Chizuru a rabbit, but the gift turns out to be a mini donkey. When the lively creature escapes, Chizuru runs after it and Yuudai loses track of them both. Apart, each wrestles with doubts about the other's feelings and with feelings neither has managed to put into words. Chizuru wonders whether the relationship is over, while Yuudai tries to overcome his timidity before he loses her. Told from both of their perspectives, this two-episode romance OVA brings a touch of fantasy to a gentle slice-of-life love story.
