When I first heard about the drama drama of Hitohira, I was completely unenthusiastic about it. The last thing I wanted to see was some bumbling shy girl powering up and becoming a star under the spotlight.

After a string of coincidences, Nono and Mirei end up trapped in the closet together, and we get a wonderful combination of flashbacks and angst. We finally get to see Mirei luring Nono into the world of yuri stage drama, and how Mirei blames herself for Nono’s condition. Primavera (from episode 1) was [...]
