About Hyakko OVA

Looking for background on Hyakko OVA (ヒャッコOVA)? This comedy series by Nippon Animation (2009) starts out like this. In short: Kazamatsuri Touma's favourite quiet cafe — where she reads recently bought books — will soon close, so she and Kageyama Torako look for another quiet place for Touma to read. Torako suggests the cake cafe nearby.

Soon after, as it turns out the two girls really love the European cakes there, and can not resist striving them all out.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Fumiko Orikasa as Torako Kageyama and Houko Kuwashima as Touma Kazamatsuri. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. The run is 1 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
