    I look forward to this OVA simply because I can't get enough of Hyakko hence why I continued with the manga. I was delighted when I found out that Nippon Animation will once again bring this series back, despite that this is just a 10 minutes OVA. As expected, there is no in depth story or character development. The OVA in a nutshell: Touma and Torako spending their after school at a cake cafe and trying out all the type of cakes on display. There are some funny moments, thanks to Torako antics. I also discovered that Touma has gay feelings towards the innocent Torako ^o^ Hyakko OVA isbundled with the fifth volume of the manga. It featured the same seiyuu as the TV series and I'm happy to report that the quality of the animation too remained the same. The ED theme is sweet, maybe to compliment the cakes that have been consumed?nnI kind of disappointed with the outcome of this OVA but better than nothing, I guess.nnTrivia: The most abused line in this OVA is Sacher Torte!
