Those three episodes are the prequel to the movie, each three episodes present one of the three girls of the anime, basic to understand better the movie, these three oav are something sweet/sour depending on the girls presented, as for the OAVs i warmly reccomend this one

This is one of the weirdest anime I have seen in a while. it started off quite gentle. The world just seems like a better place, but eating books, really?
Second episode came as such a shock, no way could I have guessed the turn of events by the cover or the name, and then suddenly episode 3 we are back in the strange world of love.
The structure of the ova was definitely a down point, but I guess it's difficult to illustrate so much in just 3 episodes. The key is it draws your attention and you want to find out more. Its quite a nice watch after a busy week of exams...

I'm surprised to see this OVA a little bit underrated here because for me it is one of the gems of the last years. The usual setting of kids-meeting-at-school is absent of many of the usual flaws of this kind of anime. Instead in most of the episodes you get some believable quirks and emotions as well as unique and bold drama that is thought-out and gripping. But be sure to watch this OVA before the movie.
