Oshimeter
Synopsis
Imagine a high school club whose entire purpose was helping students find dates. That's the After School Mania Club, less homework, more figuring out who you actually like. Members meet up at a local café, have honest conversations, go shopping together, and slowly work out their romantic preferences. It's a low-pressure setup built around two central characters, Rinko and Hinako, navigating the awkward, interesting space between friendship and something more. This is a 2-episode OVA based on a visual novel by Libido, so the pacing feels close to a branching story: character moments, small choices, relationship dynamics unfolding in a contained slice of high school life. The tone stays lighthearted throughout, never taking itself too seriously. If you enjoyed the casual romantic energy of something like Futakoi Alternative or the easygoing school-club atmosphere in Koi Koi Seven, this sits in similar territory. It's not trying to be a sweeping love story, but it's more interested in the quiet, slightly awkward process of two people figuring each other out over coffee and an afternoon walk. Don't expect much plot machinery here. The appeal is in the character interactions and the relaxed, almost slice-of-life rhythm the club setting creates. For a 2-episode runtime, it covers what it needs to without overstaying its welcome.

zulkifli_rahman240101★★★☆☆EP 1
momo_creati★★★★☆EP 1Seeing Hinako get so flustered during the masochist lesson was such a sharp turn from her usual look, and Rinko really knows how to push her buttons
erica_brown★★★★☆EP 1The way the club members just casually talk about their kinks in public at the cafeteria is so awkward and hilarious
rolo_lamperouge★★★☆☆EP 1I played the original Libido game a while back so seeing Hinako and Rinko animated like this is a trip, and they actually nailed the masochism theme without it feeling too forced. The cafeteria scene was a bit slow but once they got into the actual lesson part the quality really jumped up and made the wait worth it
gobta_goblin_154★★★☆☆EP 1Rinko having that secret side under her quiet personality makes the whole club concept way more interesting than a normal romance show
lauriam_453★★★★☆EP 1I thought the art for Hinako looked way better than the game sprites and the way she reacted to the first lesson was actually pretty hot
zekrom★★★★☆EP 1it is kind of funny how they call this a mania club when they are just being extremely open about what they like in the bedroom and Rinko is clearly in charge
susanoo_slayer_49★★★☆☆EP 1the animation during the actual lesson part was way better than the cafeteria segments and seeing Hinako get so into it was pretty memorable
impa★★★★☆EP 1that specific moment when Hinako finally gives in during the lesson was the most intense part of the whole debut and it makes the game connection very obvious
isane_ice_queen★★★★☆EP 1that part where they talk about finding a boyfriend or girlfriend while eating together made the later scenes way more surprising and Rinko is such a menace
grusha★★★☆☆EP 1I used to play the original game by Libido so I had some expectations going in, but seeing Hinako and Rinko animated like this was something else. The masochist lesson was definitely the highlight for me because it didn't hold back at all and the voice acting really sold the whole weird club atmosphere they have going on there tonight.
cattleya_baudelaire★★★★☆EP 1The girls talked about their preferences in the cafeteria in such a normal way, and then that masochist lesson started later on.
fish_eye★★★☆☆EP 1I really like how Hinako looks and that whole masochist lesson thing was actually pretty intense and lived up to the title
makoto_kino★★★★☆EP 1that scene where Rinko starts showing her true colors during the club meeting was definitely the point where things turned serious
jun_jun_389★★★☆☆EP 1seeing the transition from a normal club hangout to that wild session with Hinako and Rinko was exactly how a Libido adaptation should feel
rei_ayanami★★★★☆EP 1the way they just dive into the sexual preferences part after that cafeteria talk caught me off guard and Hinako is definitely my favorite girl so far
rach_m★★★☆☆EP 1You can tell this is from a game because the dialogue for Hinako sounds like she is giving a tutorial
marluxia_454★★★★☆EP 1That transition from normal shopping to the stuff with Rinko was fast and the voice acting sounded surprisingly natural
winry_rockbell_117★★★☆☆EP 1The way they discuss their preferences at the cafe makes the whole thing feel more personal than a random hookup
ittan_momen★★★★☆EP 1Rinko getting teased by the club members was pretty funny and her reactions were definitely some of the funniest moments
