    Tonikaku Kawaii, I would say this series remains one of the best romcom anime in the past few years. Especially in this OVA, the romance and comedy element is well balanced throughout the episode. The thing they improved the most is the art and animation. Compared to the first season, it has been progressively better as it is further released. For the first season, parts of the art and animation did not seem to be polished enough, such as the characters' faces. But starting from the last OVA and this one, the character art is a lot more polished and the scenes are more pleasing tothe viewers' eyes.nnThe romance element of this episode is well-directed and realistic. Starting from season 1 to this OVA, the main characters are becoming more open towards each other on the romantic side, which this episode shows a lot of. Through comedy, the side characters (Aya, Kaname, and Charlotte) are able to pave a pathway for Nasa and Tsukasa to smoothly transition to the romantic side of the story. With their silliness, they are very likable and played a huge role in the story progression. nnOverall, this OVA is a 10/10. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a relaxing, fun, romantic, and cute romcom anime to watch.

    While some of the romance scenes were at times a bit more passionate than previous episodes, this episode still adds a nice touch by providing the start to a shift toward a deeper, more intimate relationship between Tsukasa and Nasa while not going so far overboard as to lose the same light-hearted, slightly self-aware comedic style of previous Tonikaku Kawaii episodes. If you've liked the rest of the series, then this episode should not disappoint. Overall, this episode serves as a good sign for the quality of Season 2 (coming 2023!) by providing solid character growth while keeping the same original charm.

    This episode is an OVA for Tonikaku Kawaii that shows how the relationship between Nasa and Tsukasa has developed and Nasa wanting her to display different kind of cosplays specially the sailor school uniform. The characters are the same as usual coming form the first season. They act just like before with Nasa lusting to his wife and Tsukasa getting embarrassed as usual. The side characters were the same as well. Nothing much to add in terms of the art and animation it was average like the first season. Overall the episode was pretty good and had a nice mix of comedy and romance in it.The OVA paves the path for the second season that is coming in 2023 and I hope its as good as the first season and this OVA.
