About Asobi Asobase - workshop of fun -

Here is what Asobi Asobase - workshop of fun - (あそびあそばせ) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy and slice of life anime by Lerche (2018). At its core: Olivia is a blonde-haired beauty who was born and raised in Japan, but can’t speak any English. Despite always acting serious and as an intellectual, Kasumi is a bespectacled girl with short hair, who also can’t speak English.

More of the story: Finally, there’s the pig-tailed Hanako, who’s cheerful but can’t seem to become a normie. The three middle schoolers end up making a “Players’ Club”?! The ultimately cute, ultimately fun and hilarious teenage girls’ comedy is about to begin!

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Narrator (Maki Izawa) and Olivia (Rika Nagae) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
