It shows up as a disc extra, the thing you're supposed to skip, and then it quietly does the one job the film didn't have time for: giving Sena and Midori a story of their own. Picture drama means still frames and voice work carrying everything, so the emotional weight lands on line delivery and that HoneyWorks piano, and reviewers who came in expecting filler walked out calling it warm and genuinely cute. The title is a HoneyWorks song, and the whole thing plays like the song's B-side, small, gentle, low-stakes by design. Yes, it's cheesy in exactly the way this franchise is always cheesy, and the beats are ones you've seen a hundred times in shoujo romance. That's not the point. The point is you already care about these two, and someone finally gave them ten minutes where nobody else is in the frame.

Sena and Midori are the focus of this short romance special, released in 2016 as a single episode. Rather than being animated in full, it is presented as a picture drama and was included as a bonus with the Blu-ray and DVD release of the main Zutto Mae kara Suki deshita. film. Its attention stays on the relationship between these two characters.
