![]() But Mato’s desire to see her again apparently calls forth Black★Rock Shooter, who merges with her and goes into Chess Land (or whatever it’s called really) where she fights Dead Master, who has possessed Yomi, in order to win Yomi back from ~the darkness inside~. Yomi suddenly disappears, causing a lot of DRAMA. Meaning that Mato now spends a hell of a lot of time with Yuu, which starts to make Yomi very, very jealous. The next year, however, the girls are in different classes, but Mato is in the same class as the captain of the basketball team, Yuu. They become BFFs and life is wonderful for about half the mini-feature, with Mato’s skills and confidence in playing basketball inspiring Yomi to join the volleyball team. She becomes interested in another new kid – Takanashi Yomi, a seemingly shy and polite girl with borderline confidence issues. Kuroi Mato is a happy, earnest little girl just starting junior high. tl dr, let’s see what this OVA actually is. Plus it’s currently (or soon) streaming free somewhere, not to mention the merchandising juggernaut the whole thing suddenly is. there will also be a retail version of the DVD. Then they included the actual OVA in three different magazines (Animedia, Megami and Hobby Japan, for the records), said DVD is region-free and subtitled in seven languages.

If anything, I think she mostly resembles Lenalee from D.Gray-man. She is not Hatsune Miku (to be honest, I’m kind of sick of so many people thinking she’s ~dark miku~ or something. A quick primer for those who are still confused about ‘why a vocaloid song got made into an anime’ : Black★Rock Shooter is an original character by the artist huke.
