Synopsis:

Ginga Private Academy presents a secluded haven dedicated to the cultivation of performing arts. Nestled on a coastal headland, its architecture blends elegance with natural surroundings, incorporating waterways that weave through the expansive grounds. The academy houses a diverse student body of 600, spanning primary through high school levels, all pursuing passions in music, drama, and dance. The arrival of a new transfer student disrupts the established rhythm of academic life. His presence subtly shifts the atmosphere within the school, prompting introspection amongst the existing students as they navigate their own artistic aspirations and personal journeys. The narrative unfolds with a focus on character dynamics and the quiet exploration of ambition, talent, and the complexities of self-discovery within a specialized educational environment.

    I'm so intrigued by the existence of this thing, because it feels like anything about it has been wiped off the internet, at least in an official sense. With an OVA that's only 5 minutes and only 2 speaking characters, I was baffled to see cast members for the other characters on multiple sites, even logged on the waybackmachine. I wish I was fluent in Japanese so I could scrounge for details, like was it cancelled? The 5 minutes I did see were cute and had a chill vibe. Was it because it was a male crossdressing anime and 2010 just wasn’t ready for ityet? There were talks of a DVD being sold, even what looked to be one on yahoo auctions. Is it just that 5 minute PV, or is it a proper OVA/OVA series? If so, is it just lost media? There's supposedly 2 chapters of a manga that are a prelude to it that I also can't find. I'm so perplexed by everything I come across.nn5 stars for the brief entertainment of wondering what the hell was going on with this thing.
