Plot
The series centers on Hanako Honda, Olivia and Kasumi Nomura, second-year students at an all-girls middle school and the only three members of the Pastimers Club, a not officially recognized club. The club has very ambiguous goals, usually consisting of whatever so-called "pastimes" the girls happen to think up.
Characters
- Hanako Honda (本田 華子, Honda Hanako)
- Voiced by: Hina Kino[2]
- Hanako is Olivia and Kasumi's classmate who is extremely energetic, dragging both of them into her pace by playing strange games at school. Despite her childish nature, she is shown to be highly intelligent in her academics and is a natural talent in sports, although she has no interest in them. Her family is shown to be wealthy, having a butler and being able to obtain objects upon request.
- Olivia (オリヴィア, Orivia)
- Voiced by: Rika Nagae[2]
- Olivia is Hanako and Kasumi's classmate who pretends to be an American transfer student despite having been born and raised in Japan with foreign parents. Thus, she pretends to speak in broken Japanese to keep her image while gradually getting better to solidify her act.
- Kasumi Nomura (野村 香純, Nomura Kasumi)
- Voiced by: Konomi Kohara[2]
- Kasumi is Olivia and Hanako's classmate who dislikes playing games due to her sister's constant teasing when she was younger. She is very bad at English. She enjoys writing BL fantasies, though ironically, she is extremely androphobic.

- Student Council President (生徒会長, Seitokaichō)
- Voiced by: Honoka Inoue[3]
- She is a quiet, bespectacled girl whose real name has not been revealed. Despite her timid demeanor, she managed to win her position anyway due to her vice president's speech that sounded threatening to the rest of the student body. She constantly throws up procedural barriers for the Pastimers Club, and wavers between trying to be friends with them or undermining their club. She also has a habit of seeming terrifying and condescending when she is actually trying to be compassionate.

- Tsugumi is a classmate who the Pastimers suspect of being an otokonoko, especially after Olivia overheard Tsugumi breaks up with a boy saying that they have the same thing down there.

Tsugumi, being all too aware of their intentions, enjoys teasing the club in return, especially Kasumi.
