From the Depths of Cult Fame: ‘Dropout’ Resurfaces on OceanVeil

After years adrift in unofficial waters, Dropout finally docks with its first-ever official license—exclusively on OceanVeil.

One of the most talked-about—okay, let's be honest, infamous—titles from the legendary adult anime label *EDGE, Dropout is finally making its way to official shores with a debut on OceanVeil. Long adored (and obsessively rewatched) in the wild waters of fan circles, Dropout now joins the ranks of other iconic *EDGE favorites like Energy Kyouka!!, Netoraserare, and the delightfully unholy magical girl parody Majuu Jouka Shoujo Utea (Magical Purification Girls Utea). It's the kind of title no one ever expected to see officially licensed—let alone streaming. But Dropout more proof that OceanVeil isn't just dipping a toe in the water; they're diving headfirst into the deep end, bringing the unlikeliest of cult classics to Western shores.
※All titles contain adult themes and situations may not be suitable for all viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.

This release comes surfing in behind OceanVeil's announcement of three new English dubs from their Suiseisha collection: Offering My Virginity to a Gangster, XL Boss, and the currently airing ecchi love-bot anime, Kakushite! Makina-san!! — proving they're not shy about turning up the heat or bringing more dub anime to the streaming seas. Another wave is already forming on the horizon—this one featuring more non-explicit picks, but make no mistake, it's still anime targeted for a more mature audience.

Dropout: The Story

In a dystopian world, the government enacts a controversial "program" to combat soaring unemployment by forcibly conscripting so-called "dropouts"—young people who've failed high school or can't find work—into mandatory labor. It may have started as basic work, but things quickly spiraled...

Academic performance becomes the determining point for which “dropout” men would receive, creating fierce competition for the finest partners breaks out across the country!

As the top student in his class, Ryota Niimi is given the finest “dropout” Japan has to offer. To his shock, his new “study partner” turns out to be Reika Shichijo—his former crush and once a model student. But what happened to Reika? How did someone like her end up in the “dropout” ranks?

Based on the manga “Dropout” by Fan no Hitori.
