Was poking around and noticed this but there wasn't an apropriate link on the pages. On the page for the Plastic Little OVA (289) it lists it as being an adaptation of the manga but the OVA actually came BEFORE the manga. The tankoubon doesn't contain the OVA's story and it's kinda like unanimated sequels.

Corrected.

Could you please elaborate? I believe that you've seen both (and I've seen neither Anime catgrin + sweatdrop).

Amazon.co.jp lists the Plastic Little tankoubon's release as May 1994, while PRISMS lists it as April 1994, and as serialized in [Comic] Nora. Both postdate the OAV's 21 March 1994 release (per the Encyclopedia entry, PRISMS, and the Anime Check-list). See the PRISMS entry for more detail on the manga.

As the PRISMS entry says, it's a collection of 5 stories, each focusing on a different character. What I meant by it being like "unanimated sequals" was just that they come after the events of the OVA.
