Synopsis
Takashi Toono transfers midyear to Morimori Academy, an isolated private all-boys boarding school in the mountains, and quickly finds himself on the outside looking in. His first real lifeline is the cheerful, approachable Kyousuke Yaguchi, who makes the new environment feel a little less alien.
With clubs mandatory, Toono signs up for the seemingly laid-back “Photography Club,” only to learn it’s a front for the notorious “Yarichin Bitch Club,” where members provide sexual services to other students simply because they enjoy it. Pulled into the club’s rules, Toono is cornered by a monthly sex quota and a harsh penalty if he can’t meet it, leaving him panicked and scrambling as the deadline closes in.
Stuck in the same predicament is Yuu Kashima, another transfer student and club member, while Yaguchi stays close through Toono’s escalating stress. As the first-years try to navigate their situation, the club as a whole gets tangled up in sex, hidden agendas, and even stalkers.
Otaku Consensus
GRIZZLY's two-episode OVA works best as a deliberately abrasive BL sex-comedy artifact: Ai Yoshimura's fast farce timing, Kouji Haneda's cute-boy character designs, and the cast-performed ending theme give it more personality than its brief runtime suggests. Its reputation remains sharply split, with MAL's 6.06 and AniList's 57/100 reflecting viewers who enjoy its Pixiv-era parody energy versus those who find the explicit scenes, non-consent material, and compressed adaptation too thinly written. The most legitimate criticism is not that it is vulgar, but that two episodes cannot carry the manga's calmer emotional conflicts beneath the shock humor.
Why You Should Watch
Watch Yarichin☆Bitch-bu if you want BL that behaves like a taboo-poking club-room gag anime rather than a tender romance, with the volume turned up to near-hentai levels. It scratches a similar raunch-comedy itch to Prison School or Seitokai Yakuindomo, but filtered through an all-male cast, Ogeretsu Tanaka's sharp yaoi-satire sensibility, and a deliberately excessive visual language of nudity, sex toys, crossdressing, sadism, and surreal punchlines. It is the wrong pick if you want the emotional restraint of Given or Sasaki and Miyano; it is the right pick if you want to understand why this title became a fandom lightning rod, a meme source, and a divisive cult BL OVA despite having only two episodes.
Key Characters
- TTakashi Toono
Toono functions as the viewer's panic-stricken reality check, which makes his reactions the main counterweight to the OVA's aggressive parody of old-school yaoi excess.
- KKyousuke Yaguchi
Yaguchi's cheerful approachability is central to the title's fan appeal, because he brings a softer, more emotionally readable energy into an otherwise abrasive erotic farce.
- YYuu Kashima
Kashima stands out as the other outsider presence, giving the compressed OVA an immediate foil dynamic and feeding the love-triangle tension noted in the series' tag profile.
What Makes It Stand Out
- 1
The anime is a two-episode GRIZZLY production released across an unusually long gap, from September 21, 2018 to April 17, 2019, which makes it feel closer to a concentrated OVA sampler than a full television adaptation.
- 2
Ai Yoshimura directs with Noel Tamatuki on series composition, while Kouji Haneda handles both character design and chief animation direction, giving the adaptation a consistent cute-boy look even when the tone turns intentionally grotesque or obscene.
- 3
Its AniList tag profile is unusually blunt: Primarily Male Cast at 97%, Boys' Love at 96%, School Club at 91%, Nudity at 85%, Rape at 83%, Surreal Comedy at 77%, and Sex Toys at 76%, accurately signaling why audience reactions are so polarized.
- 4
The ending theme is performed by Tsubasa Yonaga, Yuuki Ono, and Masahiro Yamanaka, while the sound side pairs Kisuke Koizumi as sound director with Shuuji Katayama on music.
- 5
Rather than adapting a conventional magazine-origin BL hit, the OVA draws from Ogeretsu Tanaka's web manga, which began self-publication on Pixiv in 2012 before receiving print publication from Gentosha in 2016.
Fun Facts & Trivia
- Fun fact 1
- The Japanese title ヤリチン☆ビッチ部 is commonly rendered as Yarichin Bitch Club, with the literal sense often given as 'Playboy Slut Club,' a title that announces its parody posture before the first scene starts.
- Fun fact 2
- Ogeretsu Tanaka's original manga began as a self-published Pixiv work in 2012, making the anime an adaptation of a web-born BL phenomenon rather than a traditional television-first property.
- Fun fact 3
- Despite having only two episodes, the anime has a sizable visibility footprint: MAL lists it with 65,774 votes, a 6.06 score, and popularity rank #2156, while AniList records 444 favourites and a 57/100 score.
- Fun fact 4
- Online commentary frequently frames the series as satire of older yaoi conventions, while negative reviews tend to focus on the same concrete issue: the sex scenes are explicit but often considered poorly written rather than emotionally persuasive.
- Fun fact 5
- GRIZZLY is credited as the studio, with Kouji Haneda doubling as character designer and chief animation director, an important production detail for a short OVA that depends heavily on instantly readable character archetypes.
