If you are reading this article, you already know what Overflow is. Therefore, don’t analyze it too closely, as these anime adaptations belong to a different genre. Rather than overthinking, they provide a unique stimulation. Thus, we present to you the best anime that are akin to Overflow.
Note: If you weren’t aware, the anime adaptations by Studio Hokiboshi (the team behind Overflow, along with several others in this list) typically have a broadcast version for TV and a premium version containing the ahem content you may be seeking. You can legally stream it on Coolmic. Your gratitude can be expressed in the comments section!
Now that we have shared that key piece of information, let’s dive into our list!
1. Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo
No products found.
In Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo, Haruomi Shiki’s tranquil island life is upended when a volcanic eruption devastates his home. Relocated to a relative’s house, he meets three intriguing sisters: Natsumi, Akina, and Mafuyu Orifushi.
Almost at once, Haruomi’s life transforms into a flurry of temptations and passionate moments. Amidst the steamy interactions lies a story involving the sisters’ ice cream business, MinMin, which is contending against a rival shop.
The anime is reminiscent of Overflow by featuring a male protagonist unexpectedly cohabitating with several attractive women, resulting in spontaneous and sensual misunderstandings.
2. Joshiochi!!
Joshiochi!! humorously exaggerates the concept of an unexpected “slip-up.” Drawing inspiration from Overflow’s bathtub incident, Joshiochi!! kicks off with a ceiling collapse that sets the stage for its ‘encounters.’
No products found.
Sousuke, residing in a shabby apartment, enjoys some comfort thanks to a lovely landlady and an adorable neighbor above him. When the ceiling unexpectedly gives way, that neighbor crashes straight into his room—and onto him.
Indeed, the girls literally fall into the lap of our protagonist. This leads to a series of cheeky coincidences and intimate mishaps that quickly evolve into a heated love triangle.
While Overflow features a cast of college students, Joshiochi!! showcases adults dealing with close-quarters chaos.
3. Harem Camp
Welcome to the adult version of Yuru Camp. Just kidding.
Harem Camp follows Kensuke, who volunteers to lead four girls on a camping trip, only to realize they are all crammed into one tiny tent—with him. What he initially thinks will be a short adventure evolves as these girls re-enter his daily life, charmed by his helpful nature.
Similar to Overflow, this anime showcases one male protagonist suddenly surrounded by multiple women, creating ample opportunities for spontaneous and sensual encounters. However, Harem Camp sets itself apart by focusing on the camping theme, integrating slice-of-life elements that are quite refreshing.
Notably, this title is also adapted by Studio Hokiboshi!
4. The Share House’s Secret Rules
What would you do if you found yourself being ordered about by your two housemates to handle all the chores? But there’s a catch – for every minute of work you do, you get to engage in naughty activities with them.
This precisely encapsulates the experience of the main character in this anime – Ryota Ochi. Initially tasked with all the chores by his two gorgeous roommates, as he contemplates quitting, the women present him with an irresistible offer.
Living under one roof with two girls, with plenty of action involved? Well, that aligns perfectly with the vibe of Overflow! If you enjoyed Overflow, you will undoubtedly appreciate this one!!
5. Yoasobi Gurashi
Next up is another anime adaptation by Studio Hokiboshi. While the previous recommendations centered on the protagonist interacting with multiple women, this one focuses on two childhood friends who find themselves living together.
You will quickly recognize the similarities to Overflow!!
The plot revolves around Kazuto, a struggling photographer, and Yayoi, a successful model, both childhood companions. Despite their earlier closeness, they drift apart over time, only to unexpectedly find themselves cohabitating in an apartment. You can guess where this is headed, right?
6. Araiya San!
Araiya San!, much like Yoasobi Gurashi, diverges from the traditional male-multiple female theme. However, its narrative centers on baths and bathhouses – a key element that helped kick things off in Overflow. Thus, it secures its place on our list!
In Araiya San!, the main character Souta picks up a part-time job at a local bathhouse, only to realize one of his regular customers is actually Aoi, his classmate. Intent on keeping her identity concealed, she covers her face while Souta washes her back—a service that swiftly escalates to unexpected intimacy.
The story touches on some intriguing themes but don’t expect them to be thoroughly explored!
7. Redo of Healer
Now, Redo of the Healer may not be expected on this list. It is a revenge fantasy that delves into dark themes and contains potentially triggering content.
Nonetheless, this anime takes the risque theme to another level. The story follows our protagonist, who, motivated by rage and a desire for revenge, embarks on a brutal journey to make those who wronged him pay, ultimately becoming a morally ambiguous anti-hero.
Don’t miss the uncensored version!! That’s where the real excitement lies. It’s unfortunate that the uncensored version didn’t fall under the h-ahem. You know what we mean. Also, several female characters are involved, which offers the only poignant similarity to Overflow, in case you were curious!
8. Kiss x Sis
Keita Suminoe expected having two step-sisters would be a typical experience—until he discovered that Ako and Riko, the twins he grew up with, were eager to take their relationship to a whole new level. The sisters openly display their romantic affections for Keita, resulting in a mix of awkward, comedic, and flirtatious situations.
This anime is certainly akin to Overflow. However, it escalates the plot significantly, as instead of childhood friends, step-sisters come into play. The OVA version of the anime has a substantial amount of ecchi content to keep you engaged, although it may not reach the intensity of Overflow (you can likely guess why).
9. Yosuga no Sora
Don’t be surprised to find Yosuga no Sora in this list. Although it lacks ‘full scenes,’ it bears a close resemblance to Overflow and Kiss x Sis. However, it tends to lean more toward drama, exploring profound emotional conflicts and personal dilemmas.
Following the tragic loss of their parents, twins Haruka and Sora Kasugano return to their childhood home in the countryside. Aiming for a fresh start, Haruka reconnects with old friends while Sora remains emotionally distant, hesitant to accept change.
As their lives mingle with those around them, emotions grow complex. Themes of love, friendship, jealousy, and personal conflicts shape their new reality, leading to moments filled with warmth and tension.
10. Aki Sora
Aki Sora is an anime that can be succinctly described as an unusual blend of Kiss x Sis and Yosuga no Sora. However, it elevates the action beyond that of Kiss x Sis and certainly shares notable similarities with Overflow.
The anime delves into the relationship between siblings Aki and Sora. As Aki exerts dominance and abuse over the submissive Sora, he harbors a clandestine desire to take their sibling relationship to another level. The question remains – will he succeed? Yes, he does!
Interestingly, Sora’s feelings for Aki begin to develop following an encounter in the bath. And yes, that parallels the plot setting found in Overflow. Without a doubt, this title makes it to our list.
In conclusion:
Ultimately, these are the top 10 anime that we believe closely resemble Overflow. If you have any other anime you think should be included in this list, feel free to share them in the comments below. We’ll acknowledge your cultured taste!
