After studying in America, Tomoya returns to Japan, and within what feels like five minutes, he's at a police station because his childhood sweetheart Miyuki thought he was a creep. Classic reunion. From there, the misunderstandings just keep stacking — Miyuki wants to apologize, but then Tomoya's American friend Anna shows up, and suddenly everyone is reading every situation wrong in the most inconvenient ways possible. Each of the three episodes tells its own story, so the whole OVA has a kind of anthology feel — short, self-contained, and pretty breezy about where it's headed. The tone is lighthearted and leans into romantic comedy territory, though this is firmly adult content, so go in knowing that. Studio Hibari's animation has a texture that feels distinctly mid-90s, blending a slightly Western aesthetic with the OVA production style of the era. If you've watched older erotic OVAs from that period and enjoy the way they mix awkward humor with their other content, this fits that mold pretty comfortably. It's not trying to be Phantom Thief Jeanne or anything with dramatic weight — it's just a short, uncomplicated adult romp built around one guy's spectacularly messy homecoming. Three episodes, no ongoing plot to track, and a straightforward setup that doesn't overstay its welcome. Know what you're getting into, and it delivers exactly that.
