To round out this "trilogy" of OVA's is "Bathtime with Hinako & Hiyoko". That's right, the Hinako series is introducing a second character! (Third if for some reason you count yourself as a character in this series). Hiyoko is Hinako's friend? Roommate? Strangely distant enough cousin to not seem like it's weird that they're having a borderline sexual situation like a lot of fanservice anime does? I don't know how these two characters know each other, and I'm pretty sure that I'm overthinking this.

This is the best goddamn thing ever made. Here's why.
- The character development in this series is second to none. When we first met Hinako, she did not love us. Now she does - it takes a lot of work to reach this level of affection, much like any good dating sim. Except in this one you can just sit-back and watch your affection points rise.
- Excellent plot twists - especially the introduction of a new training technique "stretching the arms" and the new character Hiyoko. By the end of the series I was nearly in tears; the drama this new love triangle brings about is heart-wrenching indeed.
- Ground-breaking advice and tactics for exercising - with such tips as "don't forget breathing" and "chest stretching: has bust enhancing effects" (MAKE SURE TO DO THOSE GODDAMN CHEST STRETCHES YO…
