Anime OAV: A Girl Falls in Love with a Girl

A GIRL FALLS IN LOVE WITH A GIRL

THE ANIME OAV CONCLUSION TO THE STORY

( Story Note---This OAV is an alternate conclusion to the story of KashiMashi: Girl Meets Girl. The characters and circumstances are the same or similar, but the conclusion is very different from the conclusion of the Anime Version. )

Previously
The OAV provides an alternate conclusion to the KashiMashi story line, this by separating from the story line of the Anime Version of the story shown in Anime Episode 12. The separation occurs when the first day of the new school year begins in the autumn of the year, and Hazumu and her friends walk to school together. As the new school term begins, it becomes obvious to all that Hazumu and Yasuna have come to be known as a girl-with-girl romantic couple. They seem to hold hands wherever they go. Tomari is somewhat vexed by Hazumu's shipping with Yasuna, but she remains civil and polite to the both of them.

One warm November day, after school, Yasuna, standing under a tree on campus, has Hazumu stand a little ways away from her, and gives Hazumu a seemingly cryptic message of, " You see ........... "

Within the next couple or so days, Hazumu has Tomari follow her after school to the riverbank, where the abandoned 55 drums are, and the rocks there allow one to cross the river without getting wet. Hazumu has Tomari stay on the river bank, while she watches Hazumu cross the river by carefully stepping on the rocks. When Hazumu gets to the other side of the river, she shouts to Tomari the somewhat cryptic message of, You see ............. "

OAV Episode Overview
All the lights and decorations in Kashima City give indication that the Christmas holidays are not far away. Hazumu slips a Christmas card into the mail slot at Tomari's home. Hazumu and Tomari have had strained relations since Hazumu chose Yasuna as their intimate companion. But before the fun holidays begin, there are mid-term exams to be taken at school. Other items need to be taken care of at school, too, before the winter break. The friends plan on a holiday party. All are invited, including Tomari, but Tomari gives no indication that she will attend.

On Christmas Eve, there is a school holiday concert given, featuring Yasuna on solo flute, dressed in a sexy formal ballroom gown. The concert was a huge success. That evening, the party was held at Hazumu's house, will all in attendance, except Tomari. After the party, another holiday gig is just about to get underway. Ayuki, dressed in a sexy Santa outfit, calls upon Tomari in her bedroom, then kidnaps her. Ayuki, and Tomari inside a Santa sack, are driven about in a sleigh, by Asuta dressed as a reindeer. The group ends up at the top of Mt. Kashima, in a forest clearing, in front of a Shrine arch, with many steps. Yasuna is there, and meets privately with Tomari in front of the Shrine's steps. The two girls settle their differences, with Tomari then ascending the steps. At the top of the steps, Tomari meets Hazumu. The two talk privately, and also come to terms with one another. Tomari tells Hazumu that she will be her bride, thus fulfilling the prophesy from long ago made during their childhood years.

Jan Puu appears dressed as an angel, and creates a 'chapel in the sky'. Hazumu and Tomari are both clothed in pure white wedding dresses, complete with veils. Hazumu carries Tomari up the many steps to the chapel. Waiting there is Sora, ready to begin a private ceremony that is culminated with the two lovers engaging in a long, passionate kiss. From there, the two love birds board a sleigh, with Yasuna and the friends tagging along in the sleigh. The group flies off into the full moon, soon being lost in the bright moonlight !

This OAV's Story
It is a few days before the Christmas holiday in December. All the lights and decorations are up in Kashima City. It has been almost exactly four months to the day when the miracle of the points of light descending upon Kashima City, the night that Hazumu and Yasuna became a couple. On this day, Hazumu wakes up, and sleepily notices the Christmas card on her desk. At the same time, Yasuna is having breakfast with her parents at home. Tomari is awake, too, looking out of her bedroom window. Little did the three girls know that starting today, another miracle is about to happen, one that was set by destiny. A miracle tied to the time recently when Hazumu crossed the river by stepping on the rocks, and then acknowledged Tomari on the other side.

( Story Note---At this point in the OAV, a lengthy version of the Opening Song is played in the background, as select scenes from the twelve episodes of the Anime Version are rapidly shown one after another. )

That evening finds Hazumu at Tomari's house, throwing small stones on the window of her bedroom, to get her attention. Once Tomari looks out the window, and sees that it is Hazumu, Hazumu deftly slides a Christmas card into the mail slot by the front gate, and leaves.

Next day at home, Dad has had Hazumu dress in a sexy, fur-lined dress, a skimpy version of Santa's outfit, and is taking pictures of her. Mom, once she finds out what is happening, puts a quick end to Dad's shenanigans. Just then, the doorbell rings. It is Asuta, shocked to see Hazumu answer the door wearing such a provocative outfit ! Hazumu explains that the outfit was selected for her, so she could wear it to the upcoming holiday party. At about this time, Yasuna and Ayuki join Asuta in waiting for Hazumu to change out of her costume, and into her school uniform, so that the friends can walk together to school. Very soon, Hazumu is ready to go, and so is Dad, ready to go to work. Dad asks Hazumu if everything is okay, since she was changed to a female ? Hazumu says that things are fine, since she still has her friends to be with, who treat her well, the same as always.

Walking to school in the cold December weather, Hazumu complains that wearing a mini-skirt sure makes for cold legs, despite the fact that all the girls wear warm above-the-knee socks. Ayuki offers Hazumu a bottled concoction that she whipped up in the school's lab, guaranteed to keep you warm. Hazumu declines. Yasuna whispers in Hazumu's ear that she could wear woolen panties under her mini-skirt. Next, Yasuna questions Asuta about his 'interest' in woolen panties, but Asuta mistakenly thinks that Yasuna may be romantically interested in him. (Yeah, right!)

Today is the day of the mid-term exams at school just before the holiday break, so that is what occupies most of the day. In the classroom, the teacher, Namiko, looks out the window and daydreams of Sora. She then thinks that she sees a vague outline of him, and like always, she accidentally falls out the window. Yasuna looks up and out the window, and she sees what seems to be a hazy outline of Jan Puu. After school, in an empty classroom, another girl, Natsuko, sees Yasuna absentmindedly staring out of the window. Natsuko asks for help with a project, but Yasuna says that she has to go do an errand. Natsuko says for her to stick around, since Yanagimoto, the boy who likes Yasuna, and walked her home the other day, will be here shortly. Natsuko predicts that he will ask Yasuna out on a date after the holidays. But Yasuna, who stepped out of a relationship just a few weeks ago, says that won't happen, because she feels liberated now. Meaning that she wants to be by herself for a while now. And with that little piece of gossip dispensed, Yasuna takes her leave.

The errand that Yasuna had to do is in the science lab. There she finds Ayuki, who tells her that the butterflies need to be released before the holiday break. Yasuna suggests that the two of them release the butterflies on the rooftop garden. This they do. As always, Ayuki takes time to ask about circumstances, and give out encouragement. She asks Yasuna if she is going to be fine by herself ? Yasuna explains that shutting herself off from the world, and being by yourself are two different things. Yasuna told Hazumu that she had come to the point in her life that she wanted to 'walk on her own', therefore, Hazumu did not need to stay constantly by her side. Ayuki states that Hazumu was really disappointed. Yasuna says that she turned Hazumu down twice now. But being so dependent on Hazumu always bothered her; certainly Hazumu felt the same way. Yasuna then asks Ayuki for a favor .............

Out on the school track and field area, Hazumu approaches Tomari, to ask her if she got the invitation to the holiday party, and is she going ? Tomari is silent as she runs away from Hazumu, to do her laps around the track. As she runs, she keeps thinking about how Hazumu ran across the river recently, then gave her the cryptic message of 'You see ......' Around sunset, Ayuki approaches Tomari out on the track. She tells Tomari not to be stubborn. Tomari counters by saying that she was hurt when Hazumu chose Yasuna. Besides, Hazumu is and has always been wishy-washy about romance. Ayuki says for Tomari to tell that to her face. Unknown to the two, Yasuna is watching the whole scene play out from a balcony on one of the school buildings.

FLASHBACK---Yasuna thinks back to a time that she asked Hazumu if she really did like Tomari.? Later, under the tree that warm November day, Yasuna told Hazumu what she wanted to do with her life from here on out. Hazumu told her that she would support her all the way. So Hazumu now should know what they themselves should want to do. (END Flashback)

On Christmas Eve, Kashima High School held a holiday music concert in the late afternoon. Yasuna was behind the stage, wondering if Tomari would come like she said that she would ? Tomari said that she 'had to work'. The Space Alien materializes, and asks if it is going to happen tonight ? Yasuna says that it is, indeed ! Actually, Tomari is working outside the auditorium, wearing a red velvet jacket and mini-skirt, and selling programs and confections. She complains about having to wear a mini-skirt in the winter, and end up freezing! The holiday concert begins. Soon on stage, playing her flute solo, wearing a pure white halter dress with multi-layers of ruffles making up the skirt part of the dress down to her ankles, and with the dress split open on one side up to her hip showing her shapely, bare leg, Yasuna is playing her heart out for the concert. The concert was a huge success !

After the concert, in the early evening, Asuta is near Hazumu's home, and wants to give his gift to Hazumu, also a white halter dress. Yasuna interrupts his Hentai dreams with a request for a favor, done after the holiday party, now soon to start. Ayuki comes by, and after explaining about a 'small miracle', gets Asuta to agree. Hazumu steps outside to invite the three inside, as the party is ready to start. After the holiday dinner, the friends are playing a card game in the front room, as Dad is trying to take pictures, especially of Hazumu. Mom drags Dad away, as Hazumu explains that DadW is a cameraman for a major magazine. The digital clock says that it is now 9:22PM. Tomari never did make it to the party. Ayuki drags Asuta outside, leaving Hazumu and Yasuna alone with one another. Yasuna asks Hazumu to 'go on a date' with her to the top of Mt. Kashima this evening !!

Tomari is in her bedroom, looking at the party invitation that says that it would begin at 7PM. She did not go after all. But suddenly, Ayuki somehow appears in her bedroom, wearing the same velvet jacket and mini-skirt that all the other girls wore to the concert. Ayuki stands on the bed looking down on a prone Tomari. Tomari asks Ayuki who she is supposed to be ? Santa ! But Tomari points out to Ayuki that she can see her panties !!! " It's okay! " Ayuki says to hurry, 'cause the reindeer will freeze to death (Asuta in costume!)! Tomari won't budge, so Ayuki throws a winter coat on her, then encases her in a big sack. Out the window and down to the sleigh Ayuki drifts with the sack across her back. Suddenly, boots appear in the sleigh. As the sleigh picks up speed, Tomari yells it to stop! Ayuki, putting on her boots, tells Tomari to, " When the time comes, speak what's on your mind---clearly! "

Soon, the trio is at the top of Mt. Kashima, near a Shrine temple, and it's numerous steps. It is softly snowing. Tomari knows that Yasuna is around somewhere, and calls for her to come out ! Yasuna steps from behind the bushes near the steps. Both girls face one another in front of the steps. Tomari asserts that Yasuna must still love Hazumu. Yasuna offers the cryptic message of---

" You see ............. "

Yasuna then goes on to explain that she can be on her own now, thanks to Hazumu's love and devotion to her. Yasuna knows that she can walk by herself now. She refers back to the warm day in November, when she told Hazumu that she won't ever be able to be on her own if Hazumu spoils her by doing everything for her. Yasuna says that the only person who can make Hauzmu truly happy is .......... so tell Hazumu your true feelings, Tomari ! Tomari says, " Fine, I will give her a piece of my mind ! " The friends climb the steps to the top platform of the Shrine. There they find Hazumu some distance away, standing in the snow. Ayuki tells Tomari that she is on her own from here on out. Tomari walks towards Hazumu, thinking about the cryptic message that Hazumu told her last November by the river---

" You see ........... I love you ! "

But Tomari would not give Hazumu an answer, and turned to walk away. Hazumu shouted for an answer, but none was forthcoming.

Tomari approaches Hazumu. Hazumu asks, " Can you tell me ? "

" Are you ready for this ? "

" Yeah "

" I ...... I ....... I - I ........ I'll be your bride ! ", Tomari can barely squeak out. Tomari then apologizes, for ......whatever.

Jan Puu suddenly appears, dressed like an angel in a white halter dress, and wearing angel wings. She offers a present to the two lovers---Both are now clothed in sparkling white formal gowns, complete with veils ! Tomari is wearing a pure white strapless halter dress with an ankle-length hemline. There are extra ruffles at both her hips. Cloth flowers and roses adorn her bust. She is wearing pure white opera gloves that cover her arms up to and over her elbows. She has a garland of flowers on her head, from which the veil flows downward. Hazumu has on also a pure white dress styled like a maternity dress. The dress has cap sleeves and a square, princess-like neckline. Her dress is also ankle length. There are tie straps in back, just below her wing bones, just like a maternity dress has. She has opera gloves that cover to just below her elbow. A huge, single rose adorns her head, with the veil descending from the rose. " It's really cute ! ", exclaims Hazumu. Jan Puu strikes again, and a colorful chapel appears in the sky, with steps unfolding down to the two. Hazumu turns and picks up Tomari, and in her arms, begins to walk up the steps. Tomari protests, " Stop, stop ! " But when Hazumu looks at her romantically, Tomari tells her that she doesn't have to stop ! At the top, on the stage in front of the stained glass triptych background, Sora Hitoshi is dressed in formal vestments, holding an large black leather bound open book in his hands, and standing before a podium. He says that he will officiate, and to do what it takes to facilitate the exchange of the vows, and unite the two. This he does, and then orders up a kiss for the two, to conclude the ceremony. Tomari protests, but Hazumu says---

" Let's do this !!! "

I'm closing my eyes, demands Tomari ! " Okay! " The kiss is long, sweet, sensual, and infinitely pleasurable. At that moment, the still night sky lights up with an awesome aurora of northern lights ! Tears begin to roll down Yasuna's face, but she tells Ayuki that she can stand on her own now. Finally, the love birds separate from the lengthy kiss, Sora says that what is to happen next is against the 'Rules of Outer Space Protocol', but nevertheless ........ A sleigh being pulled by eight robot reindeer pull up to the chapel stage, with Yasuna, dressed in the mini-skirted Santa outfit, at the reins. Hazumu and Tomari are ushered in, along with Ayuki, now dressed in a pure white maid-of-honor gown, Asuta in a pure white formal men's high collar shirt and pants, and Jan Puu as the winged angel all in white.

" LET'S GO !!! ", orders Capt'n Yasuna ! As the group leaves the chapel and stage, along with it's many steps, it disintegrates into millions of sparkles, with many of the sparkles taking on the shape of a giant heart-shaped aura. Tomari thanks Yasuna ....... and the rest of the crew, too ! Hazumu joins in on the thanks to everyone. The sleigh heads for the bright, full moon, disappearing in the bright glow of the moonlight.

Not many people knew about, or have come to know about, the miracle that took place on Mt. Kashima that evening. But we knew. That miracle is called.......LOVE ! And that miracle makes people happy. (The Space Alien now materializes next to Namiko, also on Mt. Kashima, and they kiss.) Everybody has that miracle in their hearts .................

Manga Fan's Commentary on This OAV

Yangbojian / 7 years ago

Yasuna sure change a lot, too bad they didn't show how she developed, they have [little] time anyway........

The OAV is a bit farfetched, but, people love good endings, and this is comedy after all, so........

RafaelDeJongh / 6 years ago

An Xmas special which didn't really add anything to the story than just seeing all the characters again living their daily lives! The ending sure was cute though.

All by all a pretty decent OAV!

nanaki254 / 6 years ago

Well look at that... Namiko sensei might not end up alone after all x3

MasterJ633 / 12 years ago

I thought it [OAV] was ok. [Anime] Series was good throughout also.

Su14 / 11 years ago

I loved it! It was a perfect ending!!!!

Thunderwolf / 10 years ago

Great episode! Wow, getting Tomari x Hazumu now.. That's a turn of events since [Anime] ep[isode] 12.. Yasuna can be on her own two feet now, that's good, and yes, it does make sense that way.

Yeah, it was clearly said in the first episode that Hazumu will be a girl forever, that the operation cannot be reversed..

MysteryFan89 / 5 years ago

I'm guessing sometime during those four months the gang learned that Hitoshi Sora and Jan Puu were the aliens that turned Hazumu into a girl. Those two returned to Earth for more observation I guess.

When Yasuna still had her psychological condition she sought her love for Hazumu as emotional support but now that she is free of her condition, she has become quite happy and emotionally strong enough that she doesn't need to lean on Hazumu as much. She believed at this point it was Tomari that needed Hazumu more than her.

Bayek / 4 years ago

On one hand, I can sort of see what Yasuna is saying. I think that she was using Hazumu as a crutch because she could see him back when she was ill. In that sense, she knew Hazumu's indecisiveness was mainly due to wanting to comfort Yasuna so once she was "liberated", she realized that Hazumu's heart was still yearning for Tomari. That could be seen in the last episode when she kept wanting to hold onto her time with Tomari.

Ironically the characters were growing on me more back when they weren't even pursuing romance and just getting along as friends. That's why the OP was so appealing and honestly the hide & seek portion is the best part of the entire show. How f*cking sad.

I won't lie though, that double bride wedding was great. Now to be fair, I did like Yasuna's more outgoing nature this episode and it made for some amusing moments. Would have been much appreciated earlier into the show.
