Synopsis

Joining Mano and Nakai on their trip to the water park are classmates Nishikata and Takagi. However, before they can decide on what to do first, Nakai runs off with Nishikata, leaving his saddened girlfriend behind with Takagi. Mano explains that Nakai promised to ride down the water slide with her—which is rumored to make tandem riders fall in love. Unsurprisingly, Takagi devises a plan to regroup the couple in a way that also permits her to spend time teasing Nishikata. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Audience Consensus

The OVA is a cute and enjoyable bonus for fans of the series, offering more interaction between characters and showcasing Takagi's perspective. However, it doesn't add significant depth or new content to the main story, and the familiar teasing dynamic may feel repetitive to some viewers. Overall, it's a pleasant but non-essential addition to the Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san series.

Strengths

  • More interaction between Takagi and other characters.
  • Takagi's POV is shown more often.

Weaknesses

  • Feels like filler; doesn't add much to the story.
