Watching this anime actually reminded me of these marshmallows I bought from Korea. They had grape jelly in the middle. So, maybe, the obsession with marshmallows is because they are way better than the puffs we get here in the States? But that's all irrelevant to whether you should watch this anime. So, onto the review!

Story: The story is pretty simple. Girl likes guy. Girl is a conservative Japanese business woman so she's not going to confess to guy. Girl knows guy likes marshmallows and apparently tries to Pavlov her way into his heart. (If you don't know Pavlov, he trained dogs to drool on command by associating food with a bell. It's called conditioning and is a weird thing the brain does) There are other small subplots, like the "fairy" of the marshmallow factor, but for the most part, very simple plot. There's some decent comedy, though. 

Animation: For the most part, the animation is also simplistic. There are times when the animators went hogwild with style, especially in the first few episodes, but for the most part, it's all very near lines and not a lot of detail. Still, the style lends itself well to the simplistic plotline. 

Sound: Did you know marshmallows have a sound? They do. 

Characters: There's 3 main characters, a lot of sub characters, and not a whole lot of depth to any of them. For a comedy, that's great. For a romance, that's not so great. There's one character that's introduced later on that I found particularly annoying, but you'll have to watch the show to figure out why. (I ain't spoiling nothin!)

Overall: Marshmallows. I want some.
