A one-off OVA story, First Kiss Story looks at the relationship
between Kana, a young girl studying for her college entrance exams, and
Yosihiko, her boyfriend, who's already in college...
Seems Yosihiko's been finding it harder & harder to find any
free time for Kana - he says it's down to the demands of his professor,
but Kana's not so sure. They've never really spent much time together
anyway - Kana only confessed her love to Yoshihiko as he was leaving
for college...
A further complication is Kana's new homeroom teacher Shougo, who
looks just like her late father (not surprising since they're related)
- and who also ends up living with her family. It takes Kana a while to
accept his presence, but eventually they agree to get along, even
forming a friendship of sorts.
When Yoshihiko finds out about Shougo during a holiday visit, he's
not happy - leading Kana to reconsider who the right person for her is.
Can their relationship survive its first major test?
Short show = short review. I think one episode was too much to
really do this one justice - there's no time to get to know the
characters or build up any sympathy for them, so to be honest I didn't
really care who Kana ended up with. A few more episodes would
have helped build the characters & the viewers link with them - as
it is, it's sadly lacking. Okay so far as it goes, but not enough for
me to recommend it. |
