//Not precisely; it's more that post-OVA2 was the original inspiration. The movie does appear to be in the same timeline as the OVAs (dunno about the TV series yet), so I guess you're right, but most of my notes predate our purchase of the movie.//
The TV series takes place in OVA1 timeline. It fleshed out the characters and the main villain. There is one significant difference though.
You may had noticed in OVA1 that in Uemeno Park, they were talking about a girl who single-handedly destroyed a wakaji. That was a reference to Sakura's arrival to Tokyo. I didn't get it until I saw an avi clip of that scene from the game. That scene didn't happen in the TV series.
Your tentative title "Nine Flowers and a Weed" suggests that. If you exclude Ohgami from the group, there's only eight members of the Hanagumi. If you add Rachette Altair, that makes it nine.
Just bear in mind that the Hanagumi visited Ohgami in Paris post OVA2. Things must have been pretty slow for all of them to leave the country. You're talking at least a 3 week trip from Tokyo to Paris by steamer.
Having Doug in Paris..now that has possibilities.
