Wataten works because it understands that the best moments between these girls aren't plot twists or grand gestures, they're Miyako finally relaxing enough to laugh at herself, or Hinata noticing her friends need her without being asked. Four short stories that feel like postcards from a life you want to live in. The show costs nothing but your time, and that's exactly what it's asking you to spend: an afternoon where nothing needs to happen except girls being comfortable around each other.

Hinata, Hana and Noa set off for a camping trip in the countryside, and at Hinata's urging her older sister Miyako comes along, though not willingly. Noticing how gloomy Miyako seems, the three girls put their all into making sure she has a good time as well. Beyond the camping outing, the OVA gathers three more short stories about the group. Their everyday lives look normal enough. The draw is the light, cute slice of life comedy that fills each tale.
