Hey, guys, I know Latin!): you will see no kiss scene, no “I love you” line, no “happily ever after”, half of the couples don’t even actually get together on-screen, there’s just hints, the reaching of a potentially important change, and then it’s all left to the viewer’s imagination. Talking about resolutions, all of them are, in typical Japanese fashion, a bit inconclusive and in medias res (for the fourth one you could even say in incipiantes res.
The fourth story is a bit more melancholic in tone but also, in my opinion, the best one, since there is a little more conflict in the couple and the resolution is just so damn cute. Each is built up effectively, even in its extreme predictability, managing to have all the effect it can, also thanks to some genuinely good comedy. I’m having a hard time finding the words to describe why exactly such an unimpressive premise works… first of all, the fact that each chapter begins and ends within a 10 minutes OVA means that the story, devoid of any pretence of being artsy or mind-blowing, develops fast and tight, going right to the point without wasting time on fanservice or pointless scenes. Instead, I was presented with something that, while simple and mostly unoriginal, struck me as surprisingly enjoyable.STORY: 7/10These four OVA consist of four unrelated short stories, all concerning, of course, girls with glasses: a teenage girl wearing spectacles with pride in a literature club with a boy secretly in love with her a top idol disguising herself with spectacles to relax at her favourite café, where she is asked out by a waiter not recognising her a shy young couple whose bent nose pads bring them closer together an high schooler now grown out of her past shyness and insecurity who keeps avoiding who was her best friend in middle school, much to his chagrin. I wasn’t expecting much, to be fair, just some stupid love comedy I’d be watching just because I’m too curious for my own good. So, it’s no wonder that this title and this premise caught my eyes. I wear spectacles myself, I have poor eyesight. I don’t know why, meganekko just kill me.
