You can tell they spent the whole budget on the fanservice and left the actual story and characters to rot because that hotel scene felt so out of place for their relationship
levifangirl
I missed the cute romance from the manga because this OVA just feels like a poorly made tutorial with ugly art and Makoto is being a total creep in this one
astolf
I hate seeing Yura work so hard to learn techniques from her friend while Makoto is out acting suspicious in a hotel room and it makes me want to scream at him for being so careless
ancient_robot_295
The animation looks like a cheap plastic doll and everyone just screams or moans for half the episode instead of talking like normal people and it really ruins the charm from the manga
mikasasimp
Makoto going to a hotel room with another woman is such a weird choice for a guy who is supposed to be devoted to Yura and it makes him look so bad even if nothing actually happened
sailor_tin_nyanko_392
The animation for the close-up shots during the kissing scenes was actually decent and it captured the tension between them perfectly
edward_wong_178
This series is way more educational than most would expect, and seeing a couple actually communicate about what they like during a kiss is a nice change of pace.
senku_scientist
I thought the scene where they were reading the instructional manual together was the funniest bit and it makes their marriage feel so much more realistic
fubuki_blizzard_119
Yura is just way too cute when she tries to initiate things and then immediately dies of embarrassment and seeing her get a bit bolder is really fun
takerofsouls321
I really like how this show doesn't just jump into the bedroom stuff without building up the romantic tension first. The whole segment about how much a kiss matters for the emotional connection really hit home for me. Watching Makoto and Yura fumble through their first real french kiss was equal parts cringey and adorable because of how much they care.
demyx
The focus on the technical side of kissing was unexpected but it actually fits the show and seeing them practice so hard is strangely endearing
cattleya_baudelaire
Watching these two virgins treat a kiss like a science experiment is hilarious and the diagram scenes are actually kind of helpful
matsumoto_melon_467
It is so sweet how Yura gets all flustered just by a simple peck on the cheek and her reactions make the whole episode feel really wholesome
yasutora_sado_493
Makoto has such a wild imagination but then he gets so nervous when he actually has to do something and that contrast is just really funny to watch
chochin_obake_90
The way Makoto and Yura struggled with the tongue stuff had me laughing because it reminded me of being a teenager and having no idea what I was doing
darkness_defender
The animation during the close up shots of them kissing was surprisingly good and the music made the whole scene feel way more serious than it probably should have been
yoruichi_yukiko
It was actually pretty cute seeing them practice kissing, especially since Yura is so incredibly shy about everything.
jeremiah_gottwald_175
The way the show actually explains the mechanics of intimacy is so weird but I kind of love how much Makoto and Yura care about getting it right for each other
mogma
Watching Makoto fumble through these basic romantic moves is so painful and he really needs to stop overthinking every single touch
franky_fiesta_65
I felt so bad for Yura when she was getting all embarrassed over a simple kiss and it reminded me of how awkward things are when you first start dating
EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting at the midpoint of this four-episode OVA, Episode 2 builds directly on the foundation established in Episode 1, deepening Makoto and Yura's dynamic rather than resetting it. With only two episodes remaining, the series is moving through its key relationship milestones at a brisk pace. This episode likely sets the emotional and comedic tone that Episodes 3 and 4 will escalate from.
