Kasumi Nomura is a strait-laced fourteen-year-old who has grown up hating games thanks to her older sister always beating her at them. When she sees the foreign transfer student Olivia playing a silly game of rock-paper-scissors with the energetic Hanako Honda, Kasumi sees her chance to improve her terrible English grades; in exchange for teaching Olivia how Japanese people have fun, Olivia agrees to teach Kasumi English. Little does Kasumi know that Olivia was actually born and raised in Japan by foreign parents and doesn't know a word of English. This leads to the formation of the Pastimers Club, which is dedicated to playing games and having fun......and by "fun" they meant taking their games too seriously, with doses of overacting and schadenfreude in between.Asobi Asobase (�������) is a manga series written and illustrated by Rin Suzukawa. It was originally published on Hakusensha's Young Animal Densi website starting in June 2015 before being moved to their Manga Park website in August 2017.

Schoolgirl Series | |
| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_2331f28c | comment |
Schoolgirl Series: A rather absurd parody of this genre. While the three girls are certainly cute, this series is definitely not a typical "cute girls doing cute things" story, as all three of them are moronic jerks who frequently do and say things that are decidedly not cute. The series seems determined to prove that contrary to what most anime of the genre will tell you, middle school girls can be just as weird and gross as middle school boys. | |

The Last Of These Is Not Like The Others: A mobile game the girl played, Marchen Hell, has its playable characters lined up like this. In terms of appearance, all except Kaeru-san are cute humanoid animals. In terms of ability, however, each one has a uniquely positive combat stat except Kon-chan, who cheerfully says she has "a horrible personality". | |

| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The Student Council President rejects the Pastimers Club's bid to be a club, with its 10,000 yen in club funds, because they only have three people and because "having fun" is something that they can do at home. They manage to at least qualify as a circle by ensnaring Chisato into their club. When the Pastimers Club decide to have a match against the Soft Tennis Club, Kasumi tries to win by calculating the trajectory of the ball as it comes to her. She prepares to swing and winds up tripping over herself, because she's not physically fit enough to actually keep up with it. | |

Flower Motifs | |
| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_40cad744 | comment |
Flower Motifs: The anime's opening is full of yellow lilies. While lilies might make most viewers think of the Yuri Genre, yellow lilies specifically symbolize falsehood; this can be seen as a hint that despite the cute, fluffy visuals, this opening is lying about the show being your typical easygoing Schoolgirl Series. Also, there are several species of lilies that are highly poisonous, so there's that too. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Maeda helps build an English-speaking android to replace Olivia for an English language competition; unfortunately, the android only knows English sexual and vulgar slang due to it originally being a sex doll that was programmed with the slang Hanako's grandfather uses. It even tries to strangle Chisato when she suggests reprogramming her. | |

| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: When Hanako presents her poster design for the club's upcoming film, Kasumi suggests she add an announcement for a Season 2, clearly subtextually referencing the then-concurrent anime adaptation. Hanako promptly shoots it down, outright saying there are no plans for a Season 2. Chapter 66 of the manga has the anime opening used as part of the Pastimers Club's promotional video to be aired during their school festival, a proposal idea which got scoffed at by the Student Council President. | |

| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_72d30083 | comment |
Cheaters Never Prosper: In Chapter 66, the Pastimers Club's class is in danger of having to take English remedial exams during summer break unless they raise their average come the semestral exams after scoring the lowest average in the school's history. After some prodding from Olivia, Hanako devises a scheme where she will feign suffering from a bad stomach in the middle of the exams, allowing Olivia to take Hanako's test papers and replace her name with hers. Unfortunately, all of Hanako's hard work was ultimately All for Nothing after their classmates, still under the impression that Olivia is fluent in English, took her original papers, and when confronted by one of them over the fact that it is largely empty, Olivia tries to save face by claiming they are extra copies, and lends them Hanako's paper, and once it is discovered that most of the girls have the same wrong answers, the entire class—including Hanako—are eventually punished with summer school. | |

Inversely, the Shogi Club President is worse than Hanako after their last encounter despite technically being a winner. Despite no longer being able to play shogi, she is out to crush the Pastimers in a mobile battle royale with murderous vengeance, while taunting them like it's going out of style. | |

School Forced Us Together: The Pastimers Club has a vague goal of "having fun" and was formed under lofty conditions with Hanako, Kasumi, and Olivia sticking together because they wouldn't have many friends otherwise. Due to this, the Student Council President rejects their bid to have the club approved, as "having fun" is something they could easily do at home, but allows them to identify as an association. | |

Furthermore, when Olivia bends the rules by using a swing to kick her shoe, the Shogi Club President goes one step further by riding a bike down a hill and jumping off. She wins by a landslide, but she also breaks several bones in the resulting fall and the Shogi Club decides to meet at the president's house while she recovers, letting the Pastimers Club keep the room. | |

Random Events Plot | |
| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_a07afea2 | comment |
Random Events Plot: Due to its nature as a gag series, Asobi Asobase has very little in the way of a plot. Essentially, each chapter of the manga is a random situation in which the girls explore or engage in some sort of wacky antics that have little to do with the one immediately before or after. The anime condenses these chapters into "Contents", adapted in an even looser order compared to the manga, and each episode consists of three or four of these. | |

The Dog Was the Mastermind: Literally. In Chapter 56, the desk of one of the Pastimers Club's classmates was found to have feces all over the book compartment. The entire class help with the investigation, even as nobody found it suspicious that one classmate is averse to considering the possibility that it was animal feces. As it turns out, her pet dog took a shit on the then-upturned desk when she brought him with her while she was picking up her homework the night before. | |

Naked People Are Funny: In Chapter 60, Kouichi, Hanako's android "boyfriend", has been revived by her grandfather and Maeda after she decapitates him in annoyance at the end of Chapter 25 (Episode 6B of the anime). This time, however, he walks around completely naked (his creators having been taken for reference material a shoujo manga Olivia lent to Hanako featuring a nudist boyfriend), and where last time Hanako "kills" him, this time around he (under control of Hanako's grandfather) commits "suicide" when he is spotted by Takayanagi dancing in the girls' classroom (Maeda having mistaken her for a foreign spy out to steal Japanese technology). | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: Olivia and Hanako have this reaction when Olivia goes to slap Kasumi after Rock-Paper-Scissors and accidentally slaps her boobs. Olivia could get away with it against Hanako because in the latter case, there was nothing but air there. In Episode 7, when Hanako accidentally calls Kasumi weird after trying to deny reading her perverted fanfiction, they both have this reaction. | |

| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_ad9fbc1e | comment |
Pyrrhic Victory: The Shogi Club technically wins the shoe tossing contest against the Pastimers Club, but the president injures herself so badly that she ends up having to be homeschooled. As a result, the club ends up meeting at her house, thereby giving the classroom back to the Pastimers. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: Played for laughs. Even though she's only hamming it up for dramatic effect, Hanako said she wanted a really good spanking for her penalty while playing sugoroku, so Kasumi complied. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: Olivia uses the school's swing set to give herself a massive momentum boost during the shoe launch match against the Shogi Club. They can't disqualify her since nobody said anything about using swings. The Shogi Club President later tries to one-up her by riding a bicycle and actually wins. However, the resulting inertia causes her to painfully crash onto the yard and getting severely injured, causing her victory to become pointless. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: The "Senpai" in one of Kasumi's yaoi reading materials in episode 7 whips out a roll of super sticky tapes to bind his romantic partner. He then licks said tape and gets his tongue stuck on the roll. Kasumi and Hanako both display a flagrant lack of self-preservation when playing the mobile battle royale with Olivia, standing out in the open while merrily trying to convince her they should go out exploring instead of hugging a cover, despite the latter repeatedly urging them to hide. This being a battle royale game, both are promptly proven wrong. | |

The Noseless | |
| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_b9a9d078 | comment |
The Noseless: Played for laughs. While the manga and anime's standard character designs have noses, these are usually gone during comedic scenes. Not that Rin Suzukawa usually draws their characters with clearly visible noses, anyhow. The main trio are especially liable to have this happen to them, most notably Hanako, thus leading to them having completely smooth faces when viewed from the side, though this is more observable in the anime due to the manga's art style. | |

| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_bc00493f | comment |
Precision F-Strike: Maeda made an android based on Olivia to represent her in an English speaking competition. However, its programmed vocabulary is mostly comprised of the dirty slang that Hanako's grandfather speaks. The anime misaligned the timings of the censor bleeps.note e.g. The bleep the missed its mark on "fuck" and ended up covering the "up" in "Shut the f*ck up!" | |

Bait-and-Switch Credits | |
| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_c76b215e | comment |
Bait-and-Switch Credits: The anime's opening theme, "Three Piece", is a cute and fluffy song with visuals of the three protagonists in white sundresses with copious lilies everywhere, suggesting that it's an easygoing slice of life series. The series is actually a surreal comedy featuring the girls being moronic jerks to each other and everyone else. The ending theme, "Inkya Impulse", which is a heavy metal song featuring surreal neon scribbles of the girls while Hanako screams about popular girls, is much more in line with what the series is really like. | |

Slut-Shaming | |
| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_c972d624 | comment |
Slut-Shaming: Hanako tends to immediately hate other girls with sexual experience, or who even just have boyfriends. It's made clear that this is just the secretly boy-crazy Hanako's sour grapes and people who she derides as "sluts" are often shown to be more capable than her. | |

Mundane Made Awesome | |
| Asobi Asobase (Manga) / int_d148b019 | comment |
Mundane Made Awesome: This is practically Mundane Made Awesome: The Manga/Anime. Everything is dialed up, no matter how mundane they really should be. Typical conversations frequently spiral out of control into utter gibberish, and games are overly dramatic compared to what they really ought to be, with lots of screaming, yelling, flailing about, and Nightmare Faces courtesy of mainly Hanako. The background music makes all of the above seem like the most epic action anime ever. | |

Friendship Moment: Despite finding Olivia's broken dialect act amusing, Hanako agrees to help her explain to the class that she doesn't actually have an accent because she sees Olivia is now being burdened. This is opposed to Kasumi who immediately determines Olivia keeping her accent is for the best because if she becomes normal and makes other friends, Kasumi will be left alone with Hanako. | |

Cultural Cross-Reference: A sizeable amount of the series' Shout Outs are to non-Japanese works, such as Harry Potter, Monty Python's Flying Circus, and Sesame Street.
