Synopsis

At his school, Seiji Sawamura is the most feared delinquent, notorious for his 'Demon Right Hand' that can end a fight before it starts. The irony is that same reputation tanks his love life completely: 20 rejections in a row will do that to a guy. Frustrated and half-delirious, he jokes that his right hand might as well be his girlfriend. He wakes up the next morning and his right hand is a girl. Not metaphorically. A tiny, fully conscious girl named Midori is now attached to his wrist where his fist used to be. Turns out she's a shy classmate who has quietly adored him for years and never found the nerve to say anything. Now she doesn't have much choice. The setup sounds ridiculous because it is, but the show actually uses it well. Seiji has to go through his daily life: school, fights, awkward social situations, while hiding a miniature girl from everyone around him, and watching this rough, intimidating guy slowly become genuinely protective and caring is where the real story lives. It's warm without being saccharine, and funny without leaning too hard on the absurdity. If you liked Chobits or Hand Maid May, this hits a similar register: unconventional relationship dynamics with surprising emotional sincerity underneath. It's a 13-episode TV series from 2004, short enough that it never outstays its welcome, and the pacing keeps things moving at a comfortable clip throughout.

Well, it looks like our Sawamura is starting to understand what love really means, and all thanks to his experiences with Midori. Even though there were a few episodes that I thought were a bit pointless and kind of cringe because of Midori's attitude, I’d say this ending makes up for everything. What a shame for Ayase, but it seems our boy’s happiness isn’t with her, even though I think they would’ve made a beautiful couple. 🩷

FINALLY, there's some plot progression and it's thanks to Midori finally realizing that she has to get on with her life and damn, thank you Ayase for telling Sawamura everything so clearly. It seems like Midori was the one who made him kinder but I think the only thing this guy needs is love and understanding and a looooot of patience. Good episode, finally damn haha

I’m liking Midori’s character less and less 😭, and it’s such a shame because she had the potential for a different kind of personality, something way more interesting. We get to see 'Mad Dog' Sawamura back in action; this episode made me feel like there wasn't much plot progression, even though we’re already getting close to the end, but oh well, let's keep watching to see what happens. I wish someone, either Kouta or Ayase, would finally take the definitive step and confess, because honestly, they’re just beating around the bush too much at this point.

The opening wastes zero time diving into chaos. Seiji’s reputation as a feared delinquent clashes hilariously with his desperation for love, and the sudden appearance of Midori as his right hand is as absurd as it is oddly wholesome. What makes this episode work isn’t just the shock factor, it’s the emotional hook. Midori isn’t random; she’s loved him quietly for years. That twist adds sincerity to an otherwise ridiculous premise. The comedy lands well, but there’s already a subtle loneliness in both characters that hints this won’t just be a gag anime.
