Synopsis:
The story centers on Morita Mayu, a high school student whose quiet demeanor often leads to misinterpretations. Her reserved nature isn't born of disinterest, but rather from an intense internal processing that makes timely communication difficult. Mayu navigates the everyday complexities of teenage life with a thoughtful distance, observing her peers and the world around her with keen perception. The series explores themes of communication, social anxieties, and finding one's place within a community. It offers a contemplative look at interpersonal relationships, showcasing the subtle nuances of unspoken feelings and the challenges of connecting when words fail to capture the full scope of thought. The atmosphere is grounded in realistic high school settings, prioritizing character-driven moments over grand spectacle.

User najayaz (Score: 7/10):
This OVA was made earlier than the TV series, but I made the mistake of watching it later. Unlike the TV episodes it is a full-length 24 minute episode. And it's damn good. It starts with a segment made up of yon-koma panels which speak. Well, basically you have the characters faces as they appear in the manga and there's dubbed audio. There's Miki, Chihiro and Hana doing some introductions of the characters and talking about random stuff for 2 minutes. After this starts the actual episode. And well, the only way I can describe it is that watching this will basically feel like reading 100chapters of a 4-koma manga at once, if you know what I mean. It's just about mini-occurences and how the characters react to them, how they interact with each other etc. As you get to know them, understand their quirks, you grow to love them, bit by bit, as the chapters fly past.nnWell, the main appeal of this anime to me was the titular character, Morita-san herself. She's cute, she's lovable, and though she doesn't speak a lot, she thinks too much. Way too much, in fact. Her overthinking things and being unable to do anything as a result is a running gag in the series. The episode is all over the place though, really. There are funny moments, there's wholesome moments, there's some scenes with yuri bait and all in all it's one good OVA episode that I thoroughly enjoyed. Recommend it to everyone.
