Last spring I reported on the existence of self-described “Yuri Short Drama” Happy Days. Serialized on Youtube, this is the story of a couple, Kozue and Junko, and their sofa.
To call this anything more than an incredibly low-budget B-series wouldn’t be fair. Nonetheless, there are moments when the series is charming – and it is engaging enough that at the end of Episode 4, I was quite unhappy. ^_^
For the first several episodes Junko and Kozue lounge about on their sofa, or the floor in front of it, eating candy and talking about…things. Each episode is somewhere around 15 minutes and little of consequence occurs. It’s just day-to-day life stuff. But at the end of episode 4, a thing happens. That thing changes the tenor of the story considerably. It also ends up leading the production itself out of the little room in which it has been filmed, into the larger world.
Ratings:
This is so low budget, I feel ratings are not really worth it. This is one-camera, 6’x6′ room, and a bag full of candy low-budget.
Overall – 7
I don’t know what might happen at this point, but I guess I’m going to keep watching to find out!
Thanks for the little review! Personally, I’m not very into similar content, but I find it interesting enough to share with those friends who I think might like this channel.
By the way, your site just recommended a review on Myself: Yourself, so I would like to ask if you still interested in review on shows, where yuri is a noticeable, but don’t main or important theme?
I’m actually kinda disappointed there aren’t any English subtitles (though I totally get why, given the budget). This sounded like something I would love to put on when I’m bored and need a little more gay in my day
It’s become a little strange, but I hope it pulls out a strong ending.
