With a theatrical release last year, we’ve seen North American distributor Sentai Filmworks pickup and release the Asagao to Kase-san OVA, also known as Kase-san and the Morning Glories. The work is now getting its streaming debut as HIDIVE has it going live today at 1:00 pm ET where it’ll be available in both subtitled and dubbed form. The dub is getting the added attention of a new clip which you can check out below before checking out the OVA – which we definitely recommend!

Plot concept: A relationship is like a garden. It’s hard, really hard, to plant the initial seeds. Once you’ve gone through the agonizing process of wondering if the other person even likes you, fought the fear that telling her could destroy everything, and made your confession, the most difficult part begins. Because you have to keep nurturing this wonderful new feeling to keep it growing. Not just in your own heart, but in hers. And since even the most beautiful rose can cut you to the bone with its thorns, who can you talk to for advice? Especially when you’re both girls in high school? For shy Yamada and boyish Kase, time is running out. High school is coming to an end and they must make a choice: stay together and let their love grow, or separate and let it die in KASE-SAN AND MORNING GLORIES.
