Asobi Asobase, the upcoming anime based on a manga by Rin Suzukawa, revealed its broadcast season and three characters!

The series will start airing in July 2018. The three main characters Olivia, Kasumi, and Hanako will be voiced by Rika Nagae, Konomi Kohara, and Hina Kino. Read more about the characters in their introductions below and scroll all the way down for the staff.

Hanako Honda (VA: Hina Kino)

An active and bright girl, she does well in both sports and studies. But sadly, she is not smart. She longs for a life she can be satisfied with, which is why she joined the soft tennis club in middle school, but it didn’t satisfy her needs at all.

Olivia (VA: Rika Nagase)

She transferred to Hanako’s and Kasumi’s middle school. She has blonde hair and blue eyes. Both her parents are foreigners, so it might seem she is fluent in English, but since she was born and raised in japan, she hardly speaks any.

Kasumi Nomura (VA: Konomi Kohara)

She seems like the honor student type of girl. She sits in the classroom to read books even after the lesson has ended but ultimately she just can’t master English. To overcome her problem, she asks Olivia to teach her. Her chest is also a bit big for a middle school student, which makes many people think she is older than she actually is.
