Titled "In Our Last Summer of High School, We Await That Summer," this single-episode addition offers fans a chance to revisit the characters and romantic drama that defined the original series.
Produced by J.C.Staff, the studio behind hits like Toradora! and Food Wars!, the OVA delves deeper into the lives of its ensemble cast. The original series, which garnered a 7.16 MAL score from over 28,000 voters, blended slice-of-life romance with a subtle sci-fi mystery concerning an alien transfer student.
This special episode was originally bundled with the Blu-ray Box set of the main series. It provides an epilogue or side story, giving viewers more content within the established world and characters. Given its short format, it's an easily digestible watch for those who enjoyed the original anime's blend of heartfelt moments and otherworldly elements.
