The anime adaptation of Mari Okada's manga series O Maidens in Your Savage Season immerses us in the daily activities of a high school's reading club. The inquiry What do you absolutely want to do before you die? should act as a modest icebreaker between the club members as well as to start a conversation and get to know each other better. Without giving it much thought, one of the young women shouts out one word into the room: sex!
And in doing so, she unleashes a wave of feelings in the literary club's young women that sends each of them - however different they may be - on their own foolish, humorous, sad, and deeply moving paths to adulthood.
