Orphan presents a new English version of the 1995 OVA *Sotsugyou* (*Graduation*). This shoujo tells the story of five high school girls on the cusp of graduating; all of them are pondering what to do next. The first episode recounts a pre-graduation trip to a hot spring that does not quite go as planned.

The second episode recounts how the protagonists decide on their next steps.
This is a new encode based on a Domesday Duplicator rip of Japanese laserdiscs. The original subs, by Central Anime, have been revised, and there is substantially more typesetting. The show includes a promotion for the next set of OVAs, the parody *Sailor Victory*. See [this blog entry](https://collectr.blogspot.com/2022/06/sotsugyou-graduation.html) for more details.
