Synopsis
*Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san OVA* is a set of original video episodes released alongside the 11th, 12th, 13th, and 24th volumes of Tadahiro Miura’s manga, expanding on the story with additional animated chapters.
The first OVA adapts Chapter 12 of the manga. The final installment covers Chapter 99, “Noroware no Kogarashi,” and Chapter 141, “Giri Giri!? Onsen Happening,” blending the title’s romantic comedy, supernatural antics, and fanservice-heavy hijinks.
Otaku Consensus
Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san OVA earns its strongest marks as a fan-facing adaptation: Signal.MD and Xebec keep the timing snappy, the fanservice choreography readable, and the sound/animation polished enough that even positive reviewers single out production craft over story ambition. The volume-bundled format works best when it treats Chapter 99, “Noroware no Kogarashi,” and Chapter 141, “Giri Giri!? Onsen Happening,” as compact setpieces rather than a second season substitute. Its real limitation is the same one noted across mixed responses: the comedy and plotting rarely win over viewers who are not already receptive to ecchi harem escalation.
Why You Should Watch
Watch this if you want the Shonen Jump ecchi-harem machine at full speed without committing to a long TV continuation. The OVAs are built like reward chapters for manga readers: concentrated supernatural gags, high-density cast interaction, and fanservice that is staged as the main event rather than smuggled in apologetically. It scratches the same itch as To Love-Ru’s accident-driven chaos, with a more overt ghost/youkai flavor and a hot-springs comedy rhythm. Viewers who prefer restrained romance or carefully escalating drama will bounce off it; viewers who want polished, unapologetic nudity-tag energy, nekomimi detours, idol-adjacent silliness, and exorcism-flavored slapstick get exactly the version of Yuragi-sou that the core fanbase kept buying in manga form.
Key Characters
- KKogarashi Fuyuzora(VA: Yuuki Ono)
Kogarashi functions as the rare harem lead whose supernatural competence is as central to the comedy as his reactions to the women around him.
- YYuuna Yunohana(VA: Miyuri Shimabukuro)
Yuuna is the emotional mascot of the franchise, balancing the ghost-girl hook with the soft romantic appeal that keeps the ecchi from becoming purely mechanical.
What Makes It Stand Out
- 1
The OVA run is structurally unusual: its four episodes span releases from July 2018 to December 2020, making it more of a manga-bonus animation project than a conventional sequel cour.
- 2
The adaptation does not move linearly through the manga; it starts with Chapter 12 and later jumps to Chapter 99 and Chapter 141, prioritizing self-contained comedy and fanservice payoffs over continuity coverage.
- 3
Signal.MD and Xebec share the studio credit, and positive viewer commentary specifically praises the art, sound, and animated handling of the manga’s “fun and wackiness” rather than treating the OVAs as disposable extras.

AniList’s tag breakdown makes the target audience unmistakable: Female Harem at 95%, Ghost at 92%, Nudity at 91%, and Youkai at 83%, with additional identifiers like Nekomimi, Idol, and Exorcism.

The storyboard roster includes Masayoshi Nishida, Hiroaki Yoshikawa, Atsushi Ootsuki, and Tsuyoshi Nagasawa, reflecting an anthology-style production where individual episodes can lean into different comic beats.
Fun Facts & Trivia
- Fun fact 1
- The OVA’s reception sits in a narrow but telling gap between platforms: MyAnimeList lists it at 7.09 from more than 30,000 votes, while AniList places it at 68/100 with 217 favourites.
- Fun fact 2
- Original creator Tadahiro Miura is credited directly, reinforcing that these OVAs were positioned as source-material companion pieces rather than an anime-original reinvention.
- Fun fact 3
- The producer credits include Takamitsu Sueyosh, Takatoshi Chino, Tomoyuki Oowada, Takumi Kusakabe, and Mamoru Minagawa, a sizable production-side lineup for only four episodes.
- Fun fact 4
- The broader Yuragi-sou franchise had already drawn attention for controversy over sexual depictions in Shonen Jump, and the OVA’s 91% AniList Nudity tag shows that the home-video entries did not soften that identity.
- Fun fact 5
- Online news around the manga’s final chapter highlighted the announcement of two additional OVA episodes, explaining why the project continued well after the 2018 TV broadcast window.
