About Sekirei: Hajimete no Otsukai

Meet Sekirei: Hajimete no Otsukai (セキレイ「初メテノオツカイ」), a comedy, ecchi and slice of life anime by Seven Arcs (2009). Here is the premise in a nutshell. In short: "Kusano's first errand" - A ten minute OVA that came along with the 6th vol. limited edition of Sekirei. Kusano finally tires of nobody admitting her as Sahashi's potential wife, so she insists on joining Musubi and Tsukiumi on their shopping race to show her abilities.

Along the way, an iffy day ensues.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Shinnosuke Tachibana as Minato Sahashi and Saori Hayami as Musubi. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
