Cute OVA

Just finished watching the 2 part OVA called Tokyo Marble Chocolate and I quite like it.

It is a simple love story that revolves around two protagonists named Yudai and Chizuru. Each part narrate the same events from its  two protagonists’ perspectives.Despite the fact that the two characters are standing in the same place at the same time, what they see, what they feel and how they perceive things turns out to be quite different. For Yuudai, he is struggling to overcome his inability to communicate his feelings for the girl. As for Chizuru, she is struggling to overcome her fear of her failed relationship and rejections. Although both love each other, yet neither of them can say it clearly because each is uncertain about the other’s feelings and is afraid of being hurt. Trapped by their insecurities in a relationship that’s going nowhere, they drift further and further apart.

Apart from the simple elegant design, the beautiful water colour background and nice instrumental score, it is the down-to-earth tale that gives me the most impact. The creator of the OVA managed to make both the story and emotions entirely real, believable and empathetic without going over the top or being dramatic. 

A few things resonated in my mind after watching this OVA. Most notable ones are:-

• Overcoming my fear of being rejected by others and being taken for granted
• Inability to gather enough courage and to communicate how I truly feel with others
• Jumping into conclusions and making assumptions thus creating miscommunication
• Wanting to show the person how much I love him but don't know how to express it
• Wanting to know the other person and trying to accept him openly and hoping he will do the same
• Wanting more than just what I have, fearing that he does not want the same and does not reciprocate my feelings

Hmmm, got to do some serious thinking...anyway here's the OVA
