The characters and situations are the same or similar, however, the story arc and the conclusion of the story are completely different from the Anime Version. )

OAV Prologue
That autumn brings the first day of the new school year. Hazumu is at the breakfast table, eating, and ready to leave for school. Yasuna is at her home, saying goodby to her parents, grabbing a slice of toast, and leaving for school. Things have returned to normal, with everyone once again good friends with the others. Tomari, Ayuki, and Asuta are waiting for Hazumu to come outside, so that they can walk to school together. But Hazumu realizes that she forgot something ! It's so breezy, after all. So Ayuki correctly guesses that she forgot to put on her panties ! With her pleated mini-skirt covering all and not showing anything, nonetheless, it is so embarrassing to Hazumu. Asuta surmises the same thing and goes nuts.

In the classroom, Hazumu meets Yasuna, and holding hands with her, both go out to the rooftop garden to begin harvesting the produce. The friends spend lunch together in happy companionship. Later that afternoon, Hazumu checks to see that the two butterbur plants are well, and still growing side-by-side next to one another. Yasuna joins Hazumu, and with both lovers romantically and passionately holding hands, walk together on their way home, as they always do.

One very warm day in November, Yasuna finds Hazumu after school, and with the both of them holding hands, as they always do, Yasuna leads Hazumu outside to under a big tree in the schoolyard campus. Under the tree, Yasuna releases her hold on Hazumu's hand, and stepping away from her, then turning and looking at her intently, very earnestly says---

" You see ............ !?!?! "

The next day, the warm weather continues, making this time in November seem almost like spring. After school, Hazumu and Tomari are found down by the river, near the place in the river where one can cross by stepping on the rocks without getting wet. This is where, as children, Hazumu crossed the river as proof that he could be Tomari's groom. Once on the other side, Tomari acknowledged that she would, indeed, be Hazumu's bride. But today, with both girls wearing their school uniforms, Hazumu has Tomari stay on the one side of the river. Then she crosses the river by carefully stepping on the rocks, finishing up on the other side. Once there, Hazumu shouts to Tomari, calling her name, and looking at her intently, very earnestly tells her---

" You see ............... !?!?! "
