As a queer, non-binary femboy who swings both ways, I can confirm that this is the most accurate depiction of a Asian lesbian couple, period. Being the queer, non-binary femboy that I am, I believe my opinion is valid. That being said, this JAV was quite boring for the most part. Me and my cisgender white boyfriend decided to watch this together and we both wish that we had instead spent this hour jerking each other off. Women that are in a questioning state in regards to their sexuality will likely enjoy this, as it should provide them with more things to question.

Sapphic here... so I think my opinion is valid. This anime was just... boring? Contrived? Shallow? It had its cute moments and the art was very nice, but I honestly put it in 1.25x speed to finish the damn thing. There wasn't much of a plot that I could tell, and what plot there was was revealed by telling rather than showing; the writing was so shallow. I'm sure the source material is better-written, but I won't ever read it. I'll give it a 6 instead of a 5 simply because I want more WLW representation in anime, but it sucks that this is the best we've really got right now by way of WLW anime. RIP

This anime is an amazing GL, in the span of 50 minutes, you see so much happen.
It's so nice to have a GL where it is super fetishised or creepy. The relationship was super cute and I love both of their tropes!
The art and music are both equally as amazing and it suits the theme of the story and characters really well. The overall pacing of the story is somewhat slow but the beautiful visuals make it worth it. The characters have some form of communication in their relationship which is great to see, normally in queer animes it is misunderstandings on and on..
This is a must watch if you like GL!

This is the gayest shit I've ever seen. It's just a tomboy and a shy gardener girl who can't stay away from each other for more than 5 minutes. You can't get more gay then that if you tried. This is less of a movie and more of 50 minutes of wholesome yuri slapped together. There's almost no plot to speak of. The only conflict in the film is just the pettiest melodrama. There's even a scene where the main character starts having an anxiety attack from there being too many guys near her. It's hilarious how gay this is.
It's honestly a pretty terrible movie but it's cute and I'm gay as fuck so I'll at least give it a 6.

[this review includes the manga]
if you need a vanilla yuri anime here's one for you my guy.
story: 7
one the first half of the story i loved it so much, just a wholesome lesbian couple doing loveydovey stuff that makes me feel sad bc i could've been like that with one certain person but it didn't worked out (why is this getting personal) but if you compared it to the manga, the ending seems so tacky. i mean yeah they removed kase's senpai bc it's not long enough for the story but makes it awkward and i cant ignore that...
art: 10
the artstyle is top notch! pretty! totally my cup of tea. i dont really know much abouy zexcs but they did a great job for this one. the part when yamada's underwater(?) thinking about kase is a bit tacky an eh but it's very smooth and pretty so i'll let that…

The Kase-san manga is one I'm well familiar with. It started in 2010 and was originally meant as a one-shot. But the positive response to it prompted an entire series. In 2018, Zexcs released an hour long OVA. Yes, the same studio behind Cheesesteak Suppository & Umi Monogatari.
Story:
Yamada is on the greenery committee at school. She's started going out with Kase-san, the star of the track team and a girl who's "way cooler than any boy." So, this takes uses material from after the first volume of the manga. And it basically goes over a bunch of the events they experience from the second and third volumes of the manga.
The big issue with this as an adaptation is that it skips a lot of the sweeter, more contented moments where Kase and Yamada are just happy and being adorable in favou…

Having read the manga online, I knew I was going to love watching this.
I loved watching this.
Everyone who is a fan of the Yuri genre should watch this. It's cute, fluffy, and beautiful. It's pretty much everything I was personally looking for in Yuri, being someone who loves vanilla romances. It was everything I expected and I just loved seeing how much love and fluff was put into this :3. As much as I'm enjoying In Bloom, and liked Citrus for my own reasons, I knew this was going to be my favorite Yuri romance just because of how much Yui and Kase love each other and how their relationship just is.
They make each other better people and compliment each other so well :3 it's too cute. I loved the contrast in their personalities and how it just doesn't matter because they love each o…

Hi! Welcome to another Robert's Too Late Review! Today we're tackling the single episode (OVA/movie/whatever) Asagao to Kase-san! As always check the synopsis, all that boring stuff. As we noted in the Kuttsukiboshi review, it will be a good bit harder to avoid general or even more specific spoilers due to the short duration of the anime. This is not a 100% clean no-spoiler review. If the overall number doesn't tell the story, the quick of it is I do recommend this anime, if you want to opt out now and go in 'blind'.
With that out of the way, we can move on to the meat of the matter and decide if either of our cute couple (or both!) make the RTLR wall of living printer ink! Full disclosure people, the RTLR wall is kind of four walls, and I'm honestly running out of room pretty quickly, s…

Asagao-kase san probably is the most satisfying and wholesome movie i have ever seen. The two main characters shining in every scene they meet each other, their bond is strong and the feelings that they share are about the same, feelings of love, of care, affection and all these stuff that melt my heart. Yui's pure intentions but with great anguish to discover and gain new experience and Kase's dynamic with feelings of admiration and allready erotic disposal create a woderful picture of a fantastic romance story. Even if they didnt succed to take their relationship on step futher the excitement when they meet was all over the place.
It is a well made movie with beautiful colors, great scenography and with an experienced direction alongside with a wholesome romance and loveable characters,…

Okay this is my first review :3
Well, I think it's missing a review in Portuguese for the community about this incredible OVA.
Asagao to Kase-san é simplesmente diferente de tudo que eu já vi (Sakura Trick, Strawberry Panic, Citrus, Bloom Into You). Retrata de um jeito espontâneo e sem exageros a relação entre as duas meninas principais. Não tem cenas desnecessárias, não tem situações revoltantes como Citrus ("Não podemos porque somos irmãs.") e a animação é simplesmente divina.
A única parte que me decepcionou um pouco é que a menina mais alta parece "o homem da relação". Os pensamentos mais "atrativos" vinham sempre da Kase e a Yamada é mais envergonhada, inocente, o que causa um certo desbalanceamento na configuração dos personagens. Por que não pode ser duas meninas "normais" do co…

I love me a good wholesome shoujo-ai. And that's what Asagao to Kase-san is. None of the usual yuri fanservice tropes are there; it's just a simple love story between two high school girls.
The only problem is...it's a boring story. The best part (realization of love and culmination to confession!!!) happens before the OVA begins, so you're left in this weird zone of not really understanding the relationship between the two mains. Yes...they're dating but...it seems like they're not? They *say* they're attached to each other, but we never have the pleasure of watching the relationship develop, so there's no real chance for viewers to develop that fondness. Instead, we're treated to 57 minutes of two characters blushing and stammering and getting into mini-misunderstandings about their rel…

I've heard nothing but good things about Asagao to Kase-san, ranging from its frivolous cutesy moments to pure and innocent romantic atmosphere, so I had to check it out for myself to see if it really lived up to the praise it had been receiving. To sum up my thoughts, it did certainly match what people had been saying to a tee, but yet I still left feeling strangely unsatisfied with the experience afterwards. Somehow it didn't sit right with me; maybe I'd expected too much out of a 1-hour OVA and thought it would have more substance than what there actually was, or maybe I felt the relationship portrayed on screen felt underdeveloped and very superficial. Now that I've given it more thought, I'm ready to share how I feel about this OVA and why I thought it struck a lot of high notes, but…

The only good thing I have to say about this is the art and sound. Anything else, including the plot, character, and character interactions ranges from mediocre to cringeworthy. In Asagao to Kase-san, the anime rides itself on the fluff as well as the small dramas in their relationship; it's really the only two things that happens.
Before I talk about the bad parts of the anime I want to say, if you enjoy art and like the aesthetic you see going on, Asagao to Kase-san will be an utter delight. Also the voice actors are nice and Yamada sounds precious. As for Kase, I'm sure I would have gotten used to her voice if the anime was an episodic thing. Overall, everything just looks good and sounds good. I think it's totally reasonable to just watch it for that.
With that out of the way, let's…

I was blinded by the lesbian-lensflare, then made speechless by the fluffy things, and further impressed by none other than the innocent, 2pure4thisworld romance development.
I really dig into that cute lesbian shit -- such as Tamen De Gushi and Stretch-- but both of these are manga series and not Taiwanese-origin cartoons which obviously sucks. Asagao to Kase-san is here to offer what has always been missing from this medium.
We find two lesbanese school girls in a relationship which focuses on them doing cute relationship thingies in awkwardness, experiencing what loving someone is all about. Unfortunately, it proves to be quite hard because they just like each others that goddamn much. Gladly, they both manage to be honest to themselves and muster the courage to talk about every inco…

Asagao to Kase-san is everything I ever wanted in a Yuri Anime. Beautiful art-style, simple yet a really heart warming story and really lovable characters.
So let's start with the characters first:
Kase, Tomoke who is one of the Main characters of the show. A girl who is very athletic and is extremely popular among other girls. Pretty cliche right? But who cares if it's cliche or not as long as it's done right and looks fine.
Yamada, Yui is our second Main character of the show. She is a very light-hearted, shy and innocent type of a girl whose most favorite hobby is gardening. And she is not into guys as Kase Tomoke is literally the first person she is dating and ever had feelings for.
Story:
Story of this show was really simple yet really sweet. Just two girls in love with each o…

A six out of ten. I liked it, however I have one minor complaint near the end of the review.
The amount of fluff in this thing is real high. I wouldn’t call it the fluffiest romance ever, and definitely not the fluffiest show ever, however it’s up there.
The character acting is top-notch. As in, QUALITY. The lead character’s emotes are ridiculously cute and the little leaves that sprout out of her hair were honestly genius. Character sakuga in this OVA is off-the-charts. One could definitely go about analyzing the animation much further.
The rest of the art is also fairly beautiful, but it has nothing striking style-wise. It’s pretty, but it’s “generic high school late 2010s anime” pretty. It rides the trend of “heavily lighted, plant-abundant background art with almost-fragile outlinin…

This is one of the most shallow, frivolous anime I have ever watched. It has exactly two good points: Art and cutesy moments (which is at least 50% art, the rest voice acting and atmosphere). But outside of that there is nothing I can even find remotely redeemable about this anime.
A quick list of some of the very obvious problems with this anime:
- SHALLOW characters: Yamada is literally just the insecure, innocent, shy girl. That's everything about her character. She loves Kase, because she is nice? She gardens because why not give her a random hobby. The friend, while being my favorite character, is still basically just the stereotypical spunky friend, with glasses because why not. Kase doesn't even have a personality, she just runs fast, is popular, and loves Yamada because why not…

I had very high expectations for this OAV since I've been following the manga for a long time now.
I was not disappointed.
The episode tells us the story of Kase and Yamada a little after they start dating (if you haven't seen the PV you should it's only 6 mins long and tells us how they start dating). It follows the general guideline of the manga but since the OAV is only 1 hour long, they decided to cut some scenes which I respect.
Story-wise this is excellent. We can see how the girls struggle but it never falls into angst. The fluff is here without ever being cheesy, and their love matures but the tone is always right on point. Honestly I'm impressed by the choices made here, every bit of story is carefully chosen and well told, I was completely immersed during…

The agonizing wait for a good vanilla yuri anime has ended. Asagao to Kase-san brilliantly delivers a finely crafted lesbian love story, with romance and drama blended in perfect proportion.
Vanilla yuri fans have had a rough time when it comes to original anime or adaptations. Although there have been tons of series with undertones of lesbian relationships, outright and/or serious lesbian romance hasn't really graced anime since Sasameki Koto and Aoi Hana (2009) or Sakura Trick (2014). With the recent advent of adaptations of derivative yuri series Netsuzou Trap and Citrus, I had hoped that this would herald a revival in good old vanilla yuri romance.
And it did with this fantastic OVA. Let's talk about it.
The story in itself isn't anything special or new. T…

Asagao to Kase-san is the most accurate depiction of a lesbian couple I have ever seen. Being a lesbian myself, this OVA made me so extremely happy and I really recommend it to other lesbians and bi or questioning women.
Although I love this movie, there is little story until towards the end, which is why I gave it a lower rating. The art and music is absolutely amazing. I fell in love with both the main characters, Yamada and Kase. Every moment of them interacting with each other just gave me such a great feeling.
Overall, Kase-san had me laughing, crying, and very happy. I really related to this movie, especially since I am in a long distance relationship. It had me wanting to hug her so bad! This movie is a must watch for all yuri fans.
