About Akikan! OVA

Meet Akikan! OVA (アキカン！), a comedy and ecchi anime by Brain's Base (2009). Here is the premise in a nutshell. In short: The story revolves around a typical high school boy named Kakeru Daichi and the can of melon juice soda that he bought from a vending machine. The can without warning transforms into a beautiful but standoffish girl that Kakeru nicknames "Melon," and more "Akikan" ("empty can") girls appear.

Next up: However, Akikan girls need to be infused with carbon dioxide in order to turn into a human.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Jun Fukuyama as Kakeru Daichi and Sayaka Narita as Melon. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
