This is just a very short romantic anime which is so cute in its own way. Anyway, the plot is all over about a girl who got saved by a guy so she ended up developed feelings for him but he dumped her because her feelings were too much for him to take or so. The boy actually played on the basketball team which she did not know but throughout the anime, she had to take over her girl friend’s job, which was to be the manager of the basketball team. Therefore, she starts to see him all over again since she does not havea choice avoiding it and neither him. She ends up stalking him to find out what there is between him and her since she finds out that there is a lot more to them than she thought. nnPlot 8 nThe plot in the anime is very easy to understand and it goes right into the subject.nnArt 8nThe art is not that bad but it could have definitely been better even though the characters are pretty well good painted but whatsoever.nnSoundtrack 7nSorry, no really focus was on the soundtracks. nnCharacterisation 9nThat all the characters have their own unique personality makes the anime much better.nnEnjoyment 6nIt is wat too short to really enjoy the anime but if it was a series then it could not have been anything else than perfect.nnOverall 8 nnnI really recommend this anime for people that are lost at the moment and have nothing to watch.
