The series producers decided to move the more "spicy" manga chapters into the OVAs, and because of this, they are chronologically spread between the anime episodes.

What should be a chronologically correct viewing order of the OVAs + anime episodes?

After rereading and rewatching it, I conclude that the animators just took a random chapter of the manga and put it on anime anywhere they like, there is no chronological sequence of the anime, you can watch it from the anime randomly and will not lose the plot, unless for the last three episodes.

However, there is some important event that can be sorted chronologically based on manga chapter:

  1. Manga chapter one and anime episode one when they're still kids and show how Ako and Riko save Keita from a dog.
  2. Manga chapter five and the beginning of anime episode four (4 years ago) when Ako and Riko start to falling in love with Keita
  3. End of anime episode nine when Ako and Riko made Keita a good luck charm
  4. Anime episode 10 when Keita take an exam and after the exam
  5. OVA episode four when Keita, Ako, and Riko go on a trip after the exam
  6. Anime episode 11 when he receives an acceptance letter from the school from Mikuni (unlike in anime, this is Keita's first meeting with her on manga)
  7. Anime episode 12 when Keita get to the same school with Ako and Riko

And from here, it only happens in manga and hasn't been told in anime, BEWARE SPOILER

Manga chapter 42 when all the characters go on a trip and manga chapter 67 when Keita starts dating Kiryuu Sensei

Some of the OVA episodes happen before anime, and some chapters in the manga didn't happen at all in anime or OVA.

So, with that being said, this anime doesn't really care about the plot and focus only on the ecchi-almost-hentai theme. You can watch it however you like and just enjoy the show.

Well there's a lot of debate about that. I found that there's 'somewhat' of an order as it follows below, and by the way, that order is how the OVA's and anime's episodes were released as well:

  1. Ova 00
  2. Ova 01
  3. Ova 02
  4. Ep 01
  5. Ep 02
  6. Ep 03
  7. Ep 04
  8. Ep 05
  9. Ep 06
  10. Ep 07
  11. Ep 08
  12. Ep 09
  13. Ova 03
  14. Ep 10
  15. Ova 04
  16. Ep 11
  17. Ep 12
  18. Ova 05
  19. Ova 06
  20. Ova 07
  21. Ova 08
  22. Ova 09
  23. Ova 10
  24. Ova 11

Note that the OVA's list starts with '00'. It isn't a typo, it's how it was released, and is counted as that in the official list of released content of the series overall. This list is for BD released / translated content.
