Teaser
Episode 1. Yoshida Chizuru is a typical popular high school girl --
nineteen, beautiful, looked up to, and very stuck up. Two things stand
out. One, she is the main model in some commercial. Two, she has really
large breasts. Professor Sushiaki wants her but his lingering ethics
really hamper his attempts at wooing Yoshida. He does have one
advantage -- he knows that Yoshida was in the commercial, which is
against school rules. What will Yoshida do to keep her secret?
Episode 2. Azumi Yamida is the new girl who has moved in next door to
Yoshida's rock star boyfriend. Yoshida ignores Azumi as beneath her
station, but then she can't stop thinking about the new girl. The stuck
up Yoshida comes to the realization that she might be in love with
Azumi. But what will Azumi do if she finds out that her new best friend
has amorous feelings for her?
Comments
I'm pretty sure these are the only two episodes ever made, which is a
problem with anime -- there seems to be a lot of anime that is
incomplete. Based on the two episodes I think the plot was going to be
this weird love quadrangle with two grown men pursuing Yoshida while
she pursues this other girl. It's a comedy with some sexual situations.

The art is
fairly good. Yoshida is appropriately beautiful and Azumi is
very young. It's interesting since it's made very clear that Yoshida is
nineteen even though she's still in some sort of non-college school.
Mostly it's because the age of consent in Japan is a lot younger than
in the US. I just thought it's funny since there is nudity and sex and
it would have been hard to import future episodes if Azumi got involved
in the act.
DVD
In addition to the two episodes there is a five-minute promotional
video featuring the two Japanese voice actresses that portray Yoshida
and Azumi. American voice actors are used for the import, which I
prefer to reading subtitles. The Japanese language track is also there
for people who want to listen to the real thing.
Recommendations
Overall I liked the story. I like romance and unrequited love can be
funny or sad, this time it's funny. There only being two episodes means
that there wasn't enough material to establish things or end any plot
lines and I'll never find out what happens to the characters. But I did
like it and can recommend it, keeping in mind it does have adult
elements.
