Heartwarming / Maria Watches Over Us

• Kanako's reconciliation with her father. Made even more touching when Kanako held her little sister for the first time.
• Shimako's and Noriko's relationship in general, especially the episode where Noriko became Shimako's soeur.
• The second half of OVA episode 1 is a nice subversion of the usual My-Beloved-is-So-Flawed cliche, as Sachiko sees right through her cousins' attempts to denigrate Yumi and is not shy about her disgust.
