Orphan is pleased to present the first English-subtitled version of the 1989-90 two-episode OVA *Koiko no Mainichi* (*Koiko's Days*). Based on a 32-volume manga by George Akiyama (not translated), It tells the story of Keiko, newly married to yakuza soldier Sabu. Their married life is very happy:

Despite the plot armor, the show is basically a slice-of-life romantic comedy, with occasional interruptions of violence. There's a little nudity too; it's an 80s OVA, after all. Episode 1 is a Domesday Duplicator laserdisc rip. Episode 2 was only released on VHS tape. See [this blog entry](https://collectr.blogspot.com/2024/07/koiko-no-mainichi.html) for more details.
This release, and all Orphan releases, are available for direct download from IRC bot Orphan|Arutha in channels #nibl or #news on irc.rizon.net.
