The setup of the OVA is that Shana and Yuji are cleaning up all of the hougus left in Friagne's collection that were left in his old hideout. Unfortunatly, they don't have any details of what each one does, so it's a long and harduous work. Well, and the fact that the room is so hot is definitely not going to motivate someone to work. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, doesn't sound very exciting or funny, does it?
The "catch", my dear friends, is that Yuji and Shana get their bodies switched by a hougu. Yep, they switch bodies. So what do you suppose that ammounts to? Ahem: Dere-dere Shana (which is actually Yuji), efeminate Shana (Yuji), Yuji (who is actually Shana) shouting "Urusai, urusai, urusai!", Yuji (Shana) accidentally entering the girls' locker room, Shana (Yuji) commenting that skirts are cool but panties are tight, and so on.
Watching them struggle with their condition was really amusing. Especially when according to Alastor they shouldn't let others know what happened to them and fix it as soon as possble. What makes it harder is Whilemina getting in their way and suspecting something is amiss... uh-oh. But fear not, for Shana (Yuji) saves the day proclaming to like Whilemina! Lol.
The best part was probably when Shana (Yuji) became unconscious and Yuji (Shana) pondered if she should kiss him. Priceless.
I thought it was a very funny OVA, and the producers still managed to sneak a bit of a more serious in the end, after they changed back, when Alastor revealed to Shana that the hougu wouldn't work if there was any kind of wall between the affected individuals' hearts. It was a good OVA, and it provided me with a good laugh.
I'm even happier by knowing that Shakugan no Shana III is going to follow soon after. ^^
