The OVA episode, which was announced in August 2022 along with the confirmation of a second season, does not yet have a confirmed release date. While there is no official storyline revealed for the OVA, we can make speculations based on the two visuals that have been released thus far.
The initial image featuring Kaoru Sakurayashiki and Kojiro Nanjo is anticipated to offer us a sneak peek into their tumultuous high school experience. Despite the passing years, the two childhood companions seem to have remained unchanged, still enjoying getting under each other’s skin as they did in the past.
The second image featuring Adam and Snake hints at delving further into the background of the main villain and his loyal secretary. Fans will have to be patient and wait for the OVA and second season of their beloved anime.
