Ogenki Clinic
Encyclopedia
is a 1987 hentai
manga
series by Haruka Inui which was originally published in Play Comic. The manga was adapted into an anime
OVA
series. There was also a live-action version, Welcome to Ogenki Clinic. The plotline revolves around the quirky (and perpetually horny) Doctor Sawaru Ogenki and his beautiful nurse, the busty Ruko Tatase, who help patients through their problems, and the cure almost always involves sex.
Ogenki Clinic is a comedic hentai that often employed visual metaphors for the doctor's cures. Referring to sexual intercourse as a game of pinball, or illustrating a penis as an actual missile or gun are just a few examples of the manga's humorous scenes.
OVA series of Ogenki Clinic was directed by Takashi Watanabe, animation by Chuo Movie and animation production by New Network and Tokyo Kids. It was first released in Japan in 1991 on three 46-minute VHS
volumes by Play Comic Video. Simply titled “Vol. 1”, “Vol. 2” and “Vol. 3”, each volume contained four episodes or “cases”.
The first two volumes, dubbed in English, were released separately on 45-minute VHS
tapes in America by Anime 18 as “Check Into Ogenki Clinic” and “Return To Ogenki Clinic”, then together in 1999 as a single 90-minute DVD
release titled “Ogenki Clinic Adventures”.
In 2007, they would be separated again for DVD release under Central Park Media
