Title (Japanese) Ichigatsu ni wa Christmas

Advertising
Fantasy Novel

Notes From the manga by IWADATE Mariko, published in Margaret magazine.
OVA, 45 mins. [Shoujo Anime List]

Classification shoujo

Synopsis Drama about a lonely girl. A young man working in a shoeshop with his close friend encounters as a customer a strange and rather disagreeable girl who observes the two men hugging. Later he finds that she is living near him in a house he had assumed was empty. She appears to have an unhealthy obsession with him and has an antipathy to his new fiancee. (GC)
A love triangle involving a shoesalesman, his eventual fiancee and a customer. (HBV)

Review Intriguing shoujo drama, different from the usual school stuff, but seems a bit low-budget and lacking any qualities that would make it outstanding. (GC)
The title refers to the main protagonist's dislike of Christmas. This work is a fine example of how a shoujo anime treats the subject of "crush". Excellent songs. (HBV) Rating ****
