Asobi Asobase (あそびあそばせ) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Rin Suzukawa. It began serialization on Hakusensha's Young Animal Densi website in June 2015, but was later transferred to Hakusensha's Manga Park website in August 2017. The series has been compiled into six tankōbon volumes as of June 2018. An anime television series adaptation by Lerche premiered on July 8, 2018.

Plot

The series centers on Hanako, Olivia and Kasumi, second-year students at an all-girl middle school and the only three members of the Pastimers Club, a not-officially-recognized group. 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's and Kasumi's classmate who is extremely energetic, dragging both of them into her pace by playing strange games at school. Her family is shown to have some of wealthy or noble connection as she is able to obtain objects upon request.
Olivia (オリヴィア, Orivia)
Voiced by: Rika Nagae[2]
Olivia is Hanako's and Kasumi's classmate who feigns her foreign ethnicity by pretending to be an American transfer student despite having only 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's 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 despite looking like a library girl. She enjoys writing BL fantasies.
Chisato Higuchi (樋口 千紗都, Higuchi Chisato)
Voiced by: Ryōko Maekawa[3]
Chisato is a teacher who is blackmailed into becoming the advisor for the Pastimers' Club, who often feels downhearted over not being able to find a husband.
Maeda (前多)
Voiced by: Ryōtarō Okiayu[3]
Maeda is Hanako's family butler. Due to being probed by aliens, he is capable of firing laser beams out of his butt. He can quickly build or procure any item that Hanako asks for, from an inflatable kiddie pool to a robot that speaks in pre-programmed English phrases.
Student Council President (生徒会長, Seitokaichō)
Voiced by: Honoka Inoue[3]
She is a smart, bespectacled girl whose real name has not been revealed. Despite her timid demeanor, she managed to win her position with a 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.
Oka (岡)
Voiced by: Mai Kanazawa[3]
Nicknamed Luu, Oka is the leader of the Occult Research Club who befriends the Pastimers Club, teaching them occult-themed games.

Voiced by: Yasunori Masutani[3]
Sainan is the school language teacher who often becomes the hapless victim of the girls' mischief.
Takayanagi (高柳)
